Chapter 5
Transfer

Krasquall gazed around the empty space. There were no walls, no source of darkness, or no living souls. It was him alone in this realm, only accompanied by the bellowing echoing voice of the realm. He could not see a thing for the entire space was purely filled with bright, white lights.
The realm claimed to be a realm of the unconsciousness. Kraquall could not be unconscious right now, could he? Maybe his memory from earlier was his imagination and not a reality?
He decided to answer back to the mysterious voice of this realm and describe, as best as he could, what occurred right before he appeared in this very realm.
"Hi there, Mr. powerful voice. I will surely tell you what happened before I came here... As I mentioned before to you. I was sucked inside some sort of bottle. At least that's what my memory tells me. I remember meeting others, they were adventurers just like myself. A pure soul, a Soul of Light, stood before us and offered us to join his cause to fight evilness. I refused his offer in disbelief. The others became angry with this, and another one of our companions refused the group as well. That man died, but I lived, only to get sucked away and turn up into this realm you call unconsciousness..."
Krasquall paused for some moment. There was several moments of silence. Leaving the time within this very bright lit realm stand still. Krasquall almost believed that he became crazy, insane to think that he was talking to nothing but the light.
"Fool!" Spoke the gigantic voice. Switching Krasquall's belief of insanity to know that there actually was someone or something else there with him. "Utter foolish, for you to deceive the goodness and the light! Those who deceive may sometime wound up in this realm to receive punishment unless they prove themselves worthy away from punishment. I am the Supreme Ruler of all such realms, and today I will proceed with your punishments. Unless you have reasons or words to convince me otherwise."
Krasquall stood there, he could feel sweat drip down his forehead and his body fill up with fear. What will he do? Could such punishment be so bad? He could beg for forgiveness in hopes that he'll be released from any punishment...

The portals have appeared in front of several characters. Their choice to enter one of these portals would bring them to another planet or perhaps to a place leading to their doom.
Upon the planet of Fantasi, there were some characters who stood in front of the portals, contemplating on their next action and deciding which portal to enter.
The Soul of Light spoke out first and said, "I am going to enter the portal of dark. I have a sense that it will lead us to the world of Video Game Evolution. I do not know where the red portal would lead us. Who here is with me?" A few came forward to side along with the Soul of Light and travel onward into the portal of dark.
"I will certainly travel into the unknown and see where this dark portal takes us." Spoke Chrono Fantasy the Hedgehog, believing in the Soul of Light's decision until the very end. The others that agreed with him were Big Boss Torn, Nero Scorpion, and Ike the Knuckles.
Accel Roughnight was the only person to stay behind and believe that the red portal should take them to where they needed to go to. Even if he had to fight the evilness himself, he was ready for this great feat.
With Accel Roughnight staying behind, the others entered into their dark portal first, understanding Accel's decision and leaving him behind, wishing him the best of luck.
Accel Roughnight watched them vanish into the dark portal. Once they all entered into their chosen portal, he slowly walked over to the red portal and entered it with caution.
His world began twisting upsidedown and a lot of red swirls of light twisted around his head, engulfing his mind and causing him to see hallucinations of blood, gore, and death.
Accel Roughnight finally reached an area with ground and he landed on this piece of ground which was adjacent to a body of water. He got himself up on his feet and looked around his surroundings.
He noticed across the lake, there were two other portals, almost like the ones he entered before. Except one was green and the other was dark. There wasn't any red portals. What was going on here?
Also, in Accel's surroundings, he noticed a man with dark spiky hair and some guns equipped around his waist. This man looked quite powerful and scary. Accel figured that it might have been best to avoid this man, but that was impossible as the man noticed him too.
The Soul of Wind watched from his invisibility. He did not want to make his appearance during this conflict. He watched the two men take out their weapons. Gokante, the one who he previously saw here before, took out his revolver and pistol, while the new man that the Soul of Wind did not know, took out a rapid-firing gun.
The fight broke out and the Soul of Wind watched from his spot in the air, the battle between these two tough foes engage. It was a masterpiece of a fight. Gokante used such great speed and power to fend off his foe, but his opponent was quite powerful also.
The opponent, the man with the rapid guns, was shooting away like a crazy maniac, but it didn't end there. This enemy of Gokante's managed to merge himself into some powerful modified copy chip to increase the powers of his rapid guns.
Finally, Gokante had no chance of victory, even with his attempt of great powers being brought forth, but in the end, the other man, that the Soul of Wind did not know the name of, but the name of Accel, who finally brought Gokante's fight to the end, by allowing other firearms to appear and destroy the body of Gokante and shred his body to many pieces
The power effects from the Soul of Wind's invisibility allowed a sweepful of his wind float away the billion shredded body pieces of Gokante's broken down body, to forever be perished away from the grasps of life.
The Soul of Wind sensed this man's benevolence and decided to take the risk that he was kind and a positive attitude. The Soul of Wind landed on the ground right next to Accel and greeted him with praise.
The Soul of Wind's decision was accurate, Accel did not show any negative attitude towards the Soul of Wind, but he was quite curious. He had a lot of questions for the Soul of Wind.
"Where am I? What is this place? Why are these portals here?" The Soul of Wind appeared to be just as surprised as Accel. He did not know anything about these portals too, but he did answer his other questions. "You, lad, are in the world of Killio. Perhaps you travelled here from another world, your world?"
Accel the Roughnight shook his head and replied back, "No, I transported here from the world called Fantasi. Myself and others confronted a soul, just like yourself, but he was the Soul of Light and mentioned about a great evil force in another world called Video Game Evolution..."
The Soul of Wind stared at Accel with surprise, "I see.. I know this soul and that is true. We must reach Video Game Evolution. So far two adventurers that I have encountered has died on me, so I certainly hope that you won't die on me either."
Accel have the Soul of Wind a smirk, "I certainly won't die, ever. I think I should have went into that dark portal from before. The others must be in the world of Video Game Evolution by now. Shall we head into there now?"
The Soul of Wind nodded, "Certainly. Lets go." They began walking forward towards the lake to the dark portal and travel through there to get to the world of Video Game Evolution, hopefully. Accel was a little concerned too. What if that dark portal actually led them to their deaths. It could possibly be a trick. What if they should go through the green portal instead?
Before they could enter any type of portal, they noticed a flying airplane flying towards them from the skies. The flyers of this airplane seemed to notice them too and began stooping down towards the ground and landing right by them.
This airplane was none other than Barrett the Solid Snake and the Soul of Fire. Each pair met up with each other and gave updates to what occurred since separation. The two souls known each other from before, but the two adventurers were only meeting for the first time.
The Soul of Fire told the group that they could fly over to the world of Video Game Evolution with this airplane. Yet the portals stood right in front of them, and perhaps the right portal could have taken them instantly. But which portal led them to the Video Game Evolution?
So Barrett the Solid Snake and Accel Roughnight had a decision to make. Which way to the Video Game Evolution world would they take?

Celes-Aeon wanted to leave this misty world behind. The world that was apparently inside a bottle that the Soul of Light kept. Why did the Soul of Light have these such bottles to begin with. Celes-Aeon figures she would find out this answer once she confronted him and the others again.
Only this time she actually wanted to aid their fight and fight alongside them, against the forces of evil and upon the world of Video Game Evolution. She believed the world existed after the appearance of the odd ghost.
She really hoped that one of these portals led her directly to the world of Video Game Evolution, but that was wishful thinking and she highly doubted her luck would bring her that far.
Since she arrived away from her own world, she's been getting some challenges ahead of herself. What could be so bad about one more challenge?
Celes-Aeon decided to take a random guess and risk and entered into the portal that was red. She swirled around in a craze, dizziness carrying her body in the stream of various shades of red. Her eyes deceived her of deadly and horrible images that bleeded with the colour red.
It wasn't until she reached solid ground, that's when she could become stable again and hold herself straight up and stand. Just as she stood up and looked around her surroundings, noticing a large waterfall behind her, she spotted two beings, or well one being and one soul, walking into the green portal that stood around her.
These two were none other than Peach/Daisy and the Soul of water. Was this place the world of Video Game Evolution? Celes-Aeon highly doubted this, thinking that these portals wouldn't be here if it was Video Game Evolution.
She wasn't entirely sure though. She could look around this planet or go through another portal to see where those ones took her, but she had trouble making her decision. Where or what should she do?

The Fantasi world, beautiful as it seemed, now felt a little more peaceful and quiet. Not a soul was around here anymore until such a being appeared upon the planet out of thin air.
He was a shadow spirit puppetmaster, with the abilities of good and evil. His name, Angelic shadow. He came from a realm of twistedness merged with wicked and benevolence. His inner self had many great conflicts of light vs. dark, but he could sometimes supress his powers from going out of control all the time.
Angelic shadow gazed around this wonderous new world. Taking in all the sights and wondering where he was or where was this world's inhabitants.
Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, appeared a beautiful girl with an appearance of a princess, and the Soul of Water. Both of them also looked around their environment with curiousity.
They noticed Angelic Shadow and confronted him. Asking him where they were and if this was the world of Video Game Evolution. Angelic shadow did not know the answer to this, he also didn't know where they were. He told them that he came from another place himself and just arrived here.
The Soul of Water believed that they must have landed on another world, but he didn't know which one himself. He decided to fly around the world a little bit to check it out and see what he can discover, telling the other two to wait here until he arrives.
The others stared at each other with such mysterious thoughts. They weren't sure if they should trust one another or put up a fight. It was a rather awkward moment, as Peach/Daisy looked around her setting and there it was! It was those portals once again, but one was dark and the other red.
She pointed this out to the mysterious angelic shadow, and they both had to decide what they wanted to do from there.

"Come on Soul of Lightning! Lets go through that dark portal there. I bet you it will take us to our desired location." The Soul of Lightning nodded at McDarl's decision. With club, sword, and staff equipped, McDarl felt more than ready to fight any sort of enemy.
McDarl and the Soul of Lightning entered the dark portal, and swirlled around in its darkness and wickedness. Spiralling around an empty, dark realm of utter blackness. The phenomena happened to McDarl and the Soul of Lightning for quite sometime until they landed on the cold, dark grass.
The skies of this environment were dark and cloud, rain poured down on their faces. "I think we're here. I think we finally reached Video Game Evolution!"
McDarl looked around. Everything was dreary and damp. The trees were burnt, the body of water close by was murky and dark. The entire land felt like a dungeon on a planet. This planet was certainly in pain.
This land spooked McDarl, but he held up bravely and firm, preparing himself for the worse. Something mischevious and bad did appear in front of him. It was a ghost of a Sergeant. The name was Sergeant Cortez. It was Sergeant Cortez's ghost. This ghost did not come here to greet them either, but it looked mean and scary.
"You foolish creatures. You landed yourself in the middle of our ghost war. Do you desire to allow us to haunt you forever. You may join us with death and become a ghost just like us, or I will allow you the chance to escape and return back to your peaceful lands. What will you do?" Sergeant Cortez gave this offer to McDarl and the Soul of Lightning. Should they accept his offers or fight him?

Kick, punch, kick, punch, kick, kick, punch, punch, jump, jump, kick, punch, jump, kick, kick, jump, punch, jump, jump.... The Kung Fu Fighter, the ghost of the Kung Fu Fighter rather, was prepping up and awaiting those who decided to travel through the dark portal and reach the world of Video Game Evolution.
Chrono Fantasy the Sonic, the Soul of Light, Big Boss torn, Nero Scorpion, and Ike the Knuckles finally reached this world through the chosen portal of darkness. They experienced such horrid visions and finally landed themselves on a brutally beated world.
The lands were rather dark, and now they were in the middle, amongst a giant, deadly ghost war. It was a virtual war and virtual battles, but real fights from this point on. Only the strong could presevere and live on and win, and the weak will succumb to the darkness and hold their spot as part of the ghost war, if they don't decide to flee back home before that.
As soon as all of these characters reached their destination at last, they spotted the ghost of the Kung Fu Fighter and watched him jump around while he kicked and punched in mid air.
His techniques were flawless and he looked like a dangerous foe. Especially since he was a ghost now, and well... ghosts can not be killed!
The Kung Fu Fighter chuckled at their surprising expressions and their appearance looked distraught. "So you are the worthless slimes the boss has been talking about, huh? Here to defeat the Mega boss and take this world back from us I see. Why waste such futile efforts? Can you really win against your enemies that are purely dead from the living? You're wasting your time here. Go home now!"
The Soul of Light stepped forward and spoke, "We don't care who our enemies are! We will certainly win, whether we can defeat you ghosts or not. Our main target is the Mega Boss and he is certainly defeatable at best. Some may keep you ghosts at bay while others may directly target your Mega Boss (The villain)but either way, we will truimpth no matter how long it takes us! Lets go team!"
The others let out a cheer of victory and they allowed themselves to charge forward. Who will stay? Who will go? Who will fight the Kung Fu Fighter? Who will target the large Mega boss and succeed? It will be a long and dragging battle. But with a positive attitude and great power. They can certainly win.

I want to know what you guys think of the story so far. If you have any feed back or anything you may let me know if you'd like, so that way I know if I should perhaps improve on anything or if the story is actually going well and such. smile

Oh wow, that was kind of a curveball there. XD; But despite this slight confusion, even Accel can't turn down an airship ride~

Choice A (flight to VGE) it is!

Thank you everyone for your choices. The end of tomorrow will be the last time to get in the choices. I think there's only one or two people who haven't chose anything yet.
