PM me or `Fayte if you have story ideas

By Lord Mark:
My original idea was based upon something I remember seeing on TV, but it's possible that my mind just conjured it up and assumed it came from TV...
Anyway, on to the story.
Atlantis was a city long before our time that eventually became very advanced. When they found out that other life had begun civilization on the planet, they investigated their culture. Only to find a race full of greed, anger, and many other unstable emotions, they had decided to build a giant machine that would make atlantis float in the sky and generate an unmeasurable storm-cloud barrier(that could also disable any electrical source that passed through it) around the city. They thought that this would protect them from the Humans ever finding out about them.
But after a few millennia, the Humans' technologies advanced.
And as all of you know(I hope...lol), they invented airships.
So the High Council Atlantis, all this time keeping tabs on the Humans, decided that the Humans would never find them. That no ship could get through that storm and live see Atlantis.
So after another century of doing nothing about the Humans and slowly decreasing their close tabs on them, they forgot about the whole situation.
Coincidentally the following year, the Humans accidentally came upon the gigantic storm-cloud and decided on building a satelite that could pick up solid forms of any kind through any storm.
When the satelite was built and launched after a few months, they were surprised to see the largest object ever found in the sky. And it also picked up over a million life forms!
The Humans, with their large curiosity toward the unknown, decided to build a ship capable of getting through the storm. But they were too impatient and the costs would be unimaginable, so they decided to build a life pod that could be dropped from above by a Herc and that would fall for 10000 feet(which was the length of the cloud from above). Before hitting the ground, a parachute could be deployed by pulling a string. The pod would withstand anything and keep a small NASA exploration team alive the whole drop.
The following year, the NASA team was ready for exploration. The pod dropped down through the storm fast and landed with minor dents and scratches on the hull.
The team exited the pod to find a perfectly safe and breathable atmosphere. Surprised at all the beautiful plantlife that have never been seen before by man, they never even looked up at the city behind all the trees. One of them said that this would explain the massive life form count they picked up on the satelite. He then turned around to go back to the pod for his cell phone, so that he could tell NASA their current situation and findings, but then he spotted Atlantis. He then ran to the rest of the team who were taking samples of plants and insects they've never seen before. He tried speaking to them but he was too excited so he pointed to the city. They all looked and saw it with their mouths dropped down. Then they spotted the aircrafts coming toward them. There were around 15 of them, all very large and they looked armed.
When the ships had the team surrounded, they landed and the smaller one in front had a hatch that started opening up. A blue-skinned woman with silver hair stepped out. She wore a golden cloak, and carried a staff with a glowing jewel on top.
She greeted them and they talked for an hour about their culture. She asked why must the Humans be so curious to try to explore inside the storm. They answered with the satelite reason. After a few hours of learning of their culture and having a tour of Atlantis, the High Council decided to bring the Humans back to NASA as a gesture of meeting with Humans once more and realizing that they weren't so unstable after all.
The High Council had made a huge mistake.
After the team return, the military planned to nuke Atlantis. They thought that it would be too great a risk to even try to make peace with such an advanced race. The technology and other research lost in the destruction of Atlantis would be a small sacrifice to pay for the survival of the Human race. The team tried to reason with the military, but they could give no reasons why Atlantis would not overcme the Humans at one point. "Their culture existed long before ours, and we must assume that they have some interest in the planet. It was theirs first, after all. They know and we know that they could wipe out the whole Human race with a push of a button or two." said the General of the US Army.
The next day, the Army was given permission to nuke Atlantis. Luckily for Atlantis, an inventor who was most likely the best in the world designed a small warp-powered spaceship capable of folding the brink of time itself.

4. Main Characters

- Maleki:
The hero of all Atlantis, he saved the city from destroying itself when the power core went into overload. Ever since then he has been treated like a King, but the real Kings of Atlantis outranked him when matters weren't his problem.

- Craytak:
The High Council Leader. He may be old, but he's the quickest thinker in all of Atlantis. He has the final decision on all matters inside the High Council.

- Vaala:
A very stubborn female starfighter pilot. She has gotten into too much mischief and has a small criminal record.

- Lukaentas:
The first man to ever leave Atlantis after it being hidden in the sky.
After returning without alarming any Humans, using Merlin's Cloaking Device, the ARC bought the technology from Merlin and Atlantis started building Starships again.

- Krell:
Captain of the Phoenix, the largest Starship ever built in Atlantis. He is a jerk at times, but in general he is a good man.

- Merlin:
The genius who invented the Time Machine. He has a tendency to do things without thinking, such as testing all of his inventions on himself.

*RESERVED FOR YOUR CHARACTER INFO*-Lord Mark ^_^

Enthrooshis, whose name translated roughly as 'one who pounces' (Pouncey) awoke from his nap, and went to find his owner, Maleki. Instead, he encountered several soldiers with guns, who looked at the little four-legged creature curiously.

He was used to such a reaction. His race was perhaps one of the most exotic pets for the Atlanteans, having been brought about through eugenics, selective breeding. Only a few ever existed, and it was rarer still to find one who understood the blue-skinned humanoids' language enough to communicate through movements of the head and tail.

He wagged his long, cat-like tail to show friendliness towards the soldiers, who just brushed by him, one almost landing a foot on his body. Fortunately, he skimpered out of the way, and made a noise of disgust and disappointment towards them. Ah well, he thought to himself, They're soldiers. They can't be expected to show much compassion towards lesser creatures if they've got a mission.

But what possible reason would they have for being here, of all places... Now that, that was the mystery. Surely it would be solved soon enough. But now, his owner needed to feed him. He picked up a scent in his master's chamber, a fresh one too, and he followed it outside.

Maleki looked down to see his feline pet, mewing at him.
He whispered "Shh, they're looking for me. I left plenty of food in your dish, it should last a while. I have to go find someone. I'll be back soon. Now go back inside."
He got on his hover board and left for Merlin's house.

As Maleki hovered to Merlins, he thought about what could have been going on back at his home.
"I shouldn't have left Enthrooshis back there. They probably have him now."
He lost focus for a second and hovered right over a cliff.
Quickly, he took out his ring of teleportation and put it on. He then grabbed hold of the board and closed his eyes. He thought about Merlins house and listened for the ring to activate. Sure enough, the high pitched sound eminating from the ring told him that it was working.
"Thank God." He opened his eyes to see Merlins house right in front of him.
He knocked on the door and waited.
