Ok folks, chapter 2 is ready and open. Also, surprise b¡tc#e$..

His first one is actually dead, since there was only one person to sign up I guess. It isn't that surprising since a PMD RP is already going on here. Though I agree with Dobby. Considering the work we will have to put in for Battleground I would suggest taking it slow. The new system requires a whole lot of interaction between Mods and Players.

"Indy can you get Alph to send the list of materials and processes required to manufacture the gas back to Will. We can have it cross referenced with the factories in the area. That way we can have some idea of where it could have been processed." She turned to Brythit, "There is still the matter of how they moved the workers. I'd like to scan through the video footage if possible."

I already asked Hukuna to do it.. He will do it when he comes online...

Congrats mate.. You finally made it!!!

Hey!! Welcome to the asylum forums.. That is a blatant lie.. You should kill all sane people...

Hey.. Welcome.. I loved Ratchet and Clank, though I haven't played in forever.. Jak was good too though Sly was my favourite.. You should loose the sanity.. Cya!!

Yes... Absolutely Yes.. I have been waiting to try out a character based on one of my favourite character for a long time and he is going to fit perfectly here..

I will give it a shot.. If you want any help I can do so..

I have to agree with the one King/queen per person rule.. Once we clear up with K_H we will get things going.. Also I agree with naming the character and pokemon in a tag before posting.. It will help reduce the confusion..

So the rules are set for now.. Please go through the OP.. If anybody needs anything to be explained they can PM me.. The new chapter should start by tomorrow.. That gives enough time to have most doubts clarified (hopefully).. Also if anybody wants to have a trial run at any of the new actions I can do that as well.. Just PM me about it..

Krys realised she sort of was clenching mentally. She let go of it, by taking a deep breath and exhaling, and she felt her body get lighter. There seemed to be a dullness now, as if her energy was almost over. She had stopped her transformation and now stood next to Takeshi, thinking about what she had just done. It seemed funny how her life had been yesterday. Her life had been her job. My job! I need to go back. "I need to go back. After all that has happened I totally forgot about my job. Don't you have a job too, Takeshi?" she asked. Wondering if killing monsters could be a full time paying job. It would sure beat working as a florist.

Hey, so I was asleep after my last post and just went through everything that has happened. Chapter 2 is out wayyyy too soon. I am asking Hukuna or Murdoc to lock it till we work out everything, and I mean everything. I'd like to point out that there is a bunch of meta gaming going on here. This needs to stop. It is ridiculous how much people have gotten away with on this Chapter. Let's just say that for future chapters it will not be like this. So now that we have a map of the world, I expect some clarity on the RP. Considering the size of everything, I would say this RP has not followed time restraints properly. I would like to ensure that everybody gets a chance to be active on this, and not just people who are online a major chunk of the day. Another thing I see happening is players performing actions and stating the results of their actions. I had already mentioned this. That is the main reason that the RP is speeding up. So effective immediately, I would request all players to perform an action and wait for the host or the opponent to give the results of their action. I will work out a battle system with Tyrannt and have it ready in a day or two. After that and some fine tuning to the over all RP, we can get started on chapter 2. I expect the pace of chapter 2 to be similar to other RPs from now on as every action will be needing a response by the host. Whether it be in battle or outside. So if somebody is investigating an area, they will merely mention the action and wait for the consequence to be given by me. I need to head out now so I can't continue on this for a few hours but once I am back I will finish reading chapter one and have something posted in chapter 2. I request everybody to be patient and wait it out. Sorry for the inconvenience.

After the attack at the Land Capital and before the discovery of the new kingdoms. Alucard, Ulkina and Syni make their way to the Sky Capital. One of the scouts helps them along the way. The scout, a Scyther, is curious about the Latias, Ulkina. He knows commander Eric will want to speak with her. They notice the rest of the Sky Kingdom forces heading back as well. Upon questioning one of his mates, the scout learns that the king ordered everyone back to the Capital. The company hurries back. Finally, they reach the castle and the scout takes them to meet with the King. Kruga sees that the pokemon truly was a Latias. He asks her, “Tell me, what your name is?” “Ulkina, your Highness.” Kruga remembers the name from his talks with Eric. He tells one of the guards to summon Eric to the throne room, and in the mean time tells her about her brother. Ulkina is initially confused after listening to the king. Her brother was Alucard the Gengar. That was when Alucard explains to her that he is not her brother, she merely calls him that. With that, Eric enters the throne room, and upon seeing his sister rushes in to hug her. He had heard rumours from the troops but didn’t want to believe it till he saw her with his own eyes. His hug reignites their connection and Ulkina understands what had happened between them. Their psychic link is restored. Kruga gives the two of them leave to rebuild what they had lost. He turns his attention to Alucard and Syni. “Now that the two have been reunited, what do you plan to do? I have places for you in our squad if you want. You can join in with Commander Zephyros.” Syni was horrified at the thought and flew up to Kruga’s face. “Are you crazy? You should be trying to end this war. Did you not witness the destruction it has already caused?” Annoyed by the ghost type accosting him he tried to bite her. In her scared state she let out a thunderbolt at Kruga. He laughed at her attempt. “That tickled. I think you both can leave. Feel free to do what you think is best. My kingdom aims at uniting this land. You are free to stay here.” What Kruga hadn’t realised was that, while the attack barely damaged him, it did manage to set in a paralysis. Once the ghost types leave, a messenger who was waiting outside enters. The Pidgeotto enters and relays a message. “Sire, our scouts have found the Gyarados tribes you requested. They want you to come and speak with them before they decide to join us.” Kruga tells the messenger, “Inform the Captain I will need my personal guard right now, hurry.” Kruga dismisses the messenger and prepares for his journey. The tribe is very close to our coast. I could probably finish my talk with them before the guard is ready. With this in mind Kruga leaves the castle and heads over to the Gyarados tribes. Within a few minutes he reaches the coast and can see them waiting nearby. He lands on the coast. Nessie, as she was called by her people saw, the Sky king land before any of the others. She pushed the others out of her way and went up to speak with them. Being one of the strongest in the tribe, gave her the authority to speak with the king on their behalf. “Your Highness. Your scouts said you want us to join forces with your kingdom. Why do you invite us now, after all these years?” Kruga looked at the serpentine pokemon. “Are you their chief?” he asked. Nessie scoffed at him, “Our tribe has neither chief nor king. We live freely, each doing as they please.” The slight angered Kruga. “Well then I may as well speak to all of them.” He flew above Nessie’s head and started speaking with all the tribes folk. “The empires are at war, and the only way this will stop is when there is only one king. I want unity in all the land. Will you help me realise this goal?” Nessie interrupted before the others could speak, “Sky king, do not try to fool us with your silver tongue. We know the truth behind the war. We know of your past as well. Your desire to gain power is what drives you.” The tribes roared in unison at the dragon. Kruga was unimpressed and roared back at them, “If that is all you can muster, then you don’t deserve to join our army.” Saying this he struck one of the Gyarados with a Dragon Tail. The other Gyarados’ attacked the dragon simultaneously. The king was very strong and managed to hold off the Gyarados tribe. His strength had clearly impressed them, but their rage continued to build and they attacked again. That was when Kruga suddenly felt the entire left side of his body stiffen. The paralyses from before had set in. Crippling his wings and ability to fly, he fell into the water. The entire tribe launched into a vicious attack on him. Using Ice Fang and Outrage they battered Kruga. In their rage, they continued the assault till the water had turned bloody. That was when Nessie stopped her tribes’ folk when she realised that the King may have been killed. Defenseless and paralysed, the dragon was defeated. His body broken, he sank into the depth of the ocean. Nessie dived in and carried his body to the shore. There she saw he was alive, but barely. The Draken Guard were just reaching the scene when Nessie stopped the battle. They could see the king, almost dead on the shore. Enraged, they rushed forward to attack Nessie. “Stop. This was the result of him attacking our tribe. But something is wrong. In the middle of the battle he fell into the water. He has lost this fight. Take him back; I don’t want his blood on my tribe. We want peace, but not through blood. I will come and speak with him later.” Nessie and her tribe dive under water and leave the shore. The Draken Guard rush the king back to the Capital. Everybody of importance has gathered in the throne room. Kruga is placed on the throne and a togetic is trying to heal him, but to no avail. “Move aside, it is of no use. My body has given up. Azauqyar, I realise now just how foolish I have been. Those Gyarados have shown me my mistakes. My greed for power is the reason our kingdom is at war. I am surprised people have not called me the Mad King. You must protect our kingdom. Your Draken Guard will not break in front of any force. Rapture and Zephyros, your squads are invaluable in our army. The captain will train them well. Show this world the power of our forces. Swain, my friend, I have enjoyed your cunning wit and now you must use that to help our kingdom. Last of all, Eric and Ulkina, you both understand what our kingdom needs. Eric, you have been trained for this. Ulkina will learn over time. I trust you will do everything within your power to end this war. I name you as my successors.” With those last words, the Sky King met with his end. He knew he was leaving his kingdom in safe hands. Kruga’s death has been kept a secret from the other Kingdoms. After the events at Dratini Meadow, the Sky kingdom could not portray weakness. They pretend like everything is normal but tensions are high and the Draken Guard are needed now more than ever. Azauqyar has ensured that the new King is prepared and ready. News of two new Kingdoms has made things easier for them, as it has shifted the focus of the continent to the east.

Kruga Kruga let the kabutops leave. He had better things to do. He spoke to the froakie, infernape and maractus. "If you three will wait here, my men will take you to the Sky Capital. I will speak with you then. If not then it is best you leave. War is going to ride through these lands on it's white steed soon and you would not want to be in it's path." Syni "It seems they escaped. I can't find any of them nearby." She floated along with the Gengar, talking with him. "So who are you? And who is your companion?" She was excited to find one of her kind. It had been a long time since she had spoken with one.

Hey darvan, you didn't reply to Syni talking to Alucard, nor Rapture speaking to Ulkina.. Please do so..

Kruga Kruga roared at the Pokemon. "Do you take me for a fool? The only reason the Dratini had agreed to join him is his army standing on their homeland. They have always been loyal citizens of the Sky kingdom. They have neither reason nor inclination to join Krusher. For all his power, they know they belong with us. Their place is in the skies. What do you say about his matter, grass pokemon?" Above his head he could see a comet blazing through the sky. It seems that Azauqyar is on his way. He will avenge this atrocity. I will need to speak with the Dratini about their "choice".

Kruga "So, Xeen care to explain what happened at the party? I am sure in circumstances like this, chit chat between old friends can wait." Kruga was in half a mind to eat the fossil. His patience was wearing thin, and his curiosity at the sighting of the Latias had distracted him. He scanned the meadow and looked at the bodies lying around. The froakie spoke up then. Ignoring the other pokemon, Kruga laughed at the naivety of the little pokemon. "This is war, child. It isn't supposed to end well. Blood will be shed and bodies buried. The land will be scarred for years to come and families destroyed. You will either kill or be killed, as will I. The people of this land will see suffering for years to come. There is no happy ending for war."

Kruga "Tell me all you know Pyreana. Why did you come to me with Rapture? What did you see?" Just then Kruga noticed some movement on a hill and a pokemon floating nearby. An oddly familiar pokemon at that. Is that? A Latias? "Rapture, go to that pokemon, the red coloured one. Ask it to meet me at our city. Send one of your men to escort it back. Take it to Eric. Come to the hill top after that." Kruga then took Pyreana with his tail and placed her on his back. He landed at the top of the hill to see which pokemon was waving at him. It was an odd looking Kabutops and two others. He let the infernape off his back. He heard one mention something about Krusher. "Did you witness this battle? This infernape says she was here too. Tell me all that has happened here."

Commander I think if you wait for the next chapter we will have worked out a better system, which will definitely improve the quality of all posts as well.. There are some major flaws I can see that I will build guidelines to restrict and stop if needed.. Once that is done, the overall pace should decrease a little and the quality of all posts should increase..

Kruga He looked at Rapture, "If she doesn't get to the point in the next 5 seconds drop her." Saying this he sped off. Let it sink into her brain that I don't have the patience for this. We are almost at the meadows. If it is as bad as I fear then we will have to attack Krusher now and gain control of the Dratini. He slowed down till Rapture was by his side again. He spoke to the Infernape, "We are almost at the meadows so I will ask you this once more. Who are you and why are you here, traveller?"

Kruga Kruga tells Rapture, "Come with me to the Meadows. We don't have time to waste. Keep her on your back and stay next to me." They fly at great speed and head towards the meadows. For some time they fly in silence. Then he speaks with the infernape while they fly. "Who are you and why have you come here?"

Ya I guess that is there.. We could have separate battles and then just have the result of the battle shown in the main thread.. That way if people don't want to read the specifics then they can skip the battles and enjoy the story.. One thing I would like to recommend is have a decent sized post.. Many posts here are merely one line, and add next to nothing to the RP as a whole.. It's just something I personally believe we can do to make the experience more enjoyable for readers and players.. Also try and wait for some action to take place in all kingdoms.. Time zones may slow down the RP cause of this, but it would enrich the interactions between all players...
