Princess Skralla

Recommended Posts

Not sure if fan-made stories are allowed here....but just want to test my story before inserting it on BZPower...enjoy!!

Ch. 1

Tuma got up from his throne and peaked outside the window, there he saw hundreds of Skrall finishing up their daily tasks. Most of them were returning to their campsites while others were hanging out. Tuma frowned, he knew that there was no such thing as “Break Time” but he had to admit that they have done enough for now.

Tuma left the room to find his daughter, Princess Skralla, one of the best known female Skrall for taking a high role in the society. Lately, she was trying to find a mate to have someone to talk to but was forbidden to leave Roxtus to seek any other Glatorian from other tribes, even the bone hunters.

“I was wondering what you were up to,” replied Tuma. Skralla looked at him darkly and said, “Father, you must allow me to travel some time…”

“Silence, you are my only daughter! I don’t want you to get killed by any other Glatorian or Bone Hunter, let alone that these unknown entities are killing our kind!”

“But father, I really want an adventure. Just for once let me explore our kingdom and meet some other Skrall. I even want to ride on a Spitik,” said Skralla.

“I had enough of your complains, it is time for you to learn your place!” growled Tuma. He left the room and resumed his throne, waiting for his Skrall who was sent to capture Malum.

Skralla couldn’t believe her eyes, her father, once a loyal, loving Skrall now nothing but a fierce ruler that only cared for a complete rule of Bara Magna. Tears begin to flow from her eyes as she ran to her bed and wept, silently.

------

At the camp, several Skrall were talking about their dirty jobs that they were assigned.

“I almost failed a mission,” replied one.

“I got to capture a few agori,” said another.

“I managed to defeat a Glatorian named Gresh at Vulcanus. But another Glatorian stopped me from executing him,” complained another Skrall.

“But I cannot wait till we take over Bara Magna. I can’t stand any weaklings here!” said a female Skrall.

“I just lost the game!” wailed another.

That last sentence drove some of the Skrall crazy. Playing “The Game” was not their ways of talking, especially during the evening hours. If Atakus or Tuma heard that, he would be executed to the Spitik.

The group of Skrall left to their camps, seeing that there was nothing else to say.

As he returned to his post, Atakus was not in a good mood lately; he had traveled far from Roxtus to escort a Skrall to Vulcanus lately, and was almost captured by the Bone Hunters. It wasn’t until another group of Skrall who managed to capture Malum that saved him.

Later, Atakus visited one of his friends, Sukata by the entrance to Tuma’s throne. Sukata was just another innocent Rock Agori but unlike several others, he was not imprisoned in cages. Sukata managed to gain friendship with Atakus in order to stay out of the cages.

“Anything today, Atakus?” he asked.

“I was almost captured by the Bone Hunters. Luckily another group who captured Malum saved me,” replied Atakus.

“Hey it could have been worse, right?” said Sukata.

“I’m heading to my camp so I can rest, see you later. I’ll explain everything in the morning,” answered Atakus.

------

The weather became stormy that evening as Princess Skralla was still crying in her bedroom. All she wanted was an adventure and to visit places she has not seen since the shattering.

Over 100,000 she remembered the terrible disaster that struck her home. A planet splintered into three pieces due to a mysterious substance that spread quite a bit on the planet but most of them disappeared. She heard rumors of a giant robot that would one day house that mysterious substance, along with several species inside. She was then raised by Tuma for over thousands of years and was given the role of princess who would one day take over the Skrall once she got a mate.

But things changed, ever since the Skrall were attacked by unknown entities, Tuma was concerned to keep her safe. Already most of his kinds were killed during their attacks, leaving Tuma the last of their species. As timed passed, Tuma grew more concerned and planned to conquer Bara Magna to end this threat. Skralla never liked the idea of conquering Bara Magna, she knew how it would dishonor the other Glatorian and the Agori, especially her ancestors.

After all of those thoughts and flashbacks, she made a decision. Skralla ran into the corridors, snuck in the throne room to make sure Tuma was asleep. She ran across the hallways to a shrine. She light up a torch and said a quick message to her ancestors.

Please keep my father safe. Help him to stop conquering Bara Magna while I go and find my true love, she muttered. Skralla bowed to the shrine and ran off.

She placed the torch on a niche and ran to the armory room. She saw a collection of armor, weapons and thornax launchers that her father collected. She took a Scythe, a Roxtus shield and a shoulder mounted thronax launcher and took a mysterious gun that she never knew or saw. Skralla even took off her own crown and replaced it with an ordinary Skrall helmet. She also wore a necklace but instead of discarding it, she kept in on only for her own protection…

Skralla took a last look of her father before she left. Deciding to make it tragic, she placed her crown by his feet. She ran outside to a pen nearby to find a Spitik with a chariot. Skralla took off the chariot and leaped on the Spitik. The creature, though always hungry was a special kind that was tamed by Tuma after years of training. The Spitik neighed and Skralla rode it out of her realm, heading to the unknown…

Father, forgive me, she thought as she rode towards the exit…leaving Roxtus, perhaps forever…

Wait till you see chapter 2:

1.) Tuma's Reaction

2.) Skralla's Journey across the Wastelands

-----She'll meet a few Agori and possibly a Glatorian

I'll see if I can fit in the "21st Skrall w/ Atakus...." but that will come later in the story though...

In the meantime: do you have time to make a MOC of Princess Skralla......??? I don't have any Skrall, sadly but you have them, of course!! Please???

Edit: What post??? Is it something that I can do to help???

Sounds funny. Are you going to enter this in SS5?

Don't know...it's more of an epic....too complex.....and I have no idea what the climax will be...

Major Edit: Chapter 2!!!!

Ch. 2

The storm stopped at sunrise. Several Skrall already left to work while others were still asleep.

Tuma woke up from a nightmare. He thanked to himself that it was broad daylight. As he stood up from his throne, his feet stepped on something sharp. Yelping, he took a look at the object. He gasped; it was his daughter’s crown!

It can’t be! Was this my nightmare, he thought nervously. Tuma ran across the corridors to his daughter’s room but saw no one inside. He ran to the shrine, but only saw a torch glowing dimly. The last place he ran was the armory room. There he saw some of his precious items stolen.

Outside, the army of Skrall that captured Malum waited for Tuma to come out, the leader decided to go inside to awake him.

He’s probably just asleep as always, he thought as the Skrall entered inside.

“Sir, we have Malum upon your request!” he called out. “Sir? Your majesty? Tuma?”

The Skrall ran into the throne room but Tuma wasn’t there. Then he heard a moan of sadness further down. The Skrall found Tuma on the floor, paralyzed from the shock of his discovery.

“What’s wrong?” asked the Skrall Leader.

Tuma took a few deep breaths and said, “My daughter, is gone………Go spread the news. We must find her!” ordered Tuma.

“Sir, what about Malum?”

“Go do what I said! I’ll deal with Malum! Take 20 fresh troops and take Atakus with you and seek out my daughter! Stay together and don’t go to any matches, and I want her back…alive! If she is dead…I will immediately take all of you and all of the Skrall to hunt down every Glatorian, Agori and Bone Hunters, and kill them all!” barked Tuma.

The Skrall return to his army, and dismissed them all. One of his lieutenants remained to talk to him.

“Just how are we going to pick the best troops here?” asked one of his lieutenants.

“Simple. All we need is to find Stronius,” the leader replied, “He can provide another army in less than an hour. We’ll leave around noon. Go find him.”

***

Princess Skralla and her newly owned Spitik, Malian, traveled across the Wastelands. It has been a few hours since she ran away from Roxtus. Luckily there weren’t any signs of Bone Hunters, Vorox, or Zesk. Along the way she found a few thornax, some were ripe while others were in early bloom. She kept the ripe ones as ammunition while the early bloom ones as a food supply. She took out the mysterious gun that she stole before she left. It was a long, narrow tube with a trigger towards the front.

Being careful with it, Skralla aimed it at a dead tree nearby and fired it. A sphere of white light itself flew across like a star and struck the tree, burning it into ashes.

What is this weapon, she thought. This is more than just a random melee, it has powers inside! An elemental power!

But as she was toying with it, a Zesk nearby smelled her scent. It growled silently and crept closer.

The Spitik growled and begin to run. Skralla ran and leaped onto the seat and tried to slow it down, but the creature wouldn’t stop. Skralla turned her head around and saw an army of Zesk running after them.

Oh great! I just woke an army of Zesk! Now what am I going to do, she thought.

Skralla loaded her launcher and fired a few Thornax at the ground, causing a massive explosion to keep the Zesk at bay. It slowed them down but didn’t stop them.

But before she could react, she realized that she was in a different world. A place that was lush, fertile and full of life.

Where am I? Where are the Zesk, she thought as she got off of the Spitik.

“You are in Tasera, stranger,” replied a voice.

Skralla turned and saw a green Agori, flanked with two red, one blue, and a white Agori.

“I am Tarduk,” replied the green Agori. “These are my friends, Crotesius, Kyry, Kirbold, and Scondonius.”

“But what is that Skrall doing here?” asked Kyry.

“I am…” began Skralla, but paused. If she revealed who she was, they might spill the beans, so she said something else.

“I am Skralla. Just traveling place to place; it’s just part of my job,” she lied.

“Well, it’s not quite often we see a Skrall traveling here and there,” replied Tarduk.

“Wait a second! Isn’t Skralla the name of the princess?” asked Kyry.

“No! It’s not like that! I am not a princess, just a traveler, like you guys,” said Skralla.

But before she could say anything else, they all heard growling from all over the jungle. Then one Zesk pounced on top of Tarduk, trying to rip him into shreds. Skralla aimed her mysterious gun and a sphere of light struck the Zesk, blinding the creature. Tarduk shook the creature off of him and cried, “We’d better run!”

Kyry attached a chariot that he brought with him while Skralla got on top of the Spitik. When everyone was on it, she yanked the chains and the creature began to run. The Zesk, followed closely by Vorox chased after the group across the forest.

***

Meanwhile, a troop of 20 Skrall stood outside the outskirts of Tesara. They found footprints of a Spitik. According to Tuma, he told the leader that Skralla took his Spitik along with some of his belongings.

“Is this where she went?” asked one of the Skrall.

“If that is where she went, then we must follow!” replied the leader.

***

Tuma sat back on his throne. He was very exhausted and was still shaking from his discovery this past morning. As he thought back in his past, he remembered how much he would play with here. He trained her how to be a good warrior for the Rock Tribe as well as even participating in some matches. But once she grew old enough to be titled, “princess” she lost a lot of those privileges since she now has to focus on the society in order to maintain once Tuma retired.

Ancestors, hear my call…watch over my daughter….he said quitetly…

Next to him was a cage that housed Malum. Already Malum was offered a deal but refused since he already allied with the Vorox and Zesk. Tuma believed that if he was given some time to think, he might change his mind. He heard about Malum’s exile from Vulcanus as well as a rumor about the Zesk allying with an unnamed Agori.

Malum stared hard at Tuma. The Glatorian was full of hatred and anger for sending several Skrall into his captivity. Malum hardly makes any deals to other tribes, especially the Rock Tribe.

“Tell me the offer one more time, and I’ll see what I could do about it,” he replied.

Tuma turned and looked at Malum viciously.

“I made a change of plans, go find my daughter before my troops gets her first and perhaps I’ll let you return to your friends, is that a deal?”

“Alright, fine, just tell me what to do, and I’ll find your daughter…”answered Malum.

Chapter 3!!!!!!

Skralla and the Agori checked to make sure that the Vorox and Zesk stopped following them. It wasn’t until they reached the mountains where the cold temperatures set the Vorox and Zesk away.

“Let’s go to Iconox,” said Kirbold, “We can talk to Strakk who can tell us where to go,”

“Go where?” asked Skralla.

“Tarduk found a map of a strange object called the Red Star,” said Kyry.

Tarduk handed Skralla his tablet that contained the Red Star on it. After examing it, Skralla replied

“I think I recognize this map. I’ve seen something like this before, but it was a long time ago.”

Skralla took another exam on the map.

***

Flashback: 102,000 years ago….(during the construction of Mata Nui)

Skralla ran across the wastelands. She was running late because of the traffic from the Arena Magna. She finally arrived at the coastline of the Great Sea. Her friend, Certavus was waiting for her to see this construction.

“Where is it?” she asked.

“That robot far ahead, by that island. It looks like they’re building the head.” replied Certavus.

What Skralla and Certavus saw was an on-going construction. They saw several unknown beings placing metal together and adding an unknown substance.

“Wait! That’s the substance that is spreading on our planet!” said Skralla, “But why are they putting that inside?”

“I’m not sure, but if they are putting the substance inside, then it means that the spread might stop. From what I heard, this robot would house that substance like a storage container.”

“Well…I hope that robot doesn’t explode. Who knows what that substance could do?” replied Skralla.

“But the question is…who is going to live inside of that robot? Us?” asked Certavus.

“If it was us, we’d be there constructing as well. I think we better get away before any other Glatorian sees this…” said Skralla.

***

Present:

Skralla shook her head. She gave the tablet back to Tarduk and said, “I don’t think I can solve this tablet right now. Let’s continue our journey.”

“Good idea,” said Tarduk.

Kirbold led them to Iconox, home of the ice tribe. As they approached the village, it was dusk. Kirbold invited Skralla and the other Agori to his hut.

“You guys spend time, together. I have to continue my assignment. Good luck on your journey!” said Skralla.

Skralla carefully crept silently across the village. She had to find another Glatorian and form an alliance. She arrived at hut with one Glatorian sleeping.

Perfect. That’s just what I need, she thought. She took out a dagger. Carefully aimed it and threw it across the room.

Strakk was asleep in his mat. He finally got some peace and quiet after talking to Metus about some issues in Iconox. But his sleeping didn’t last long. A dagger just missed him and stabbed on the ground. He got up with his Ice Axe but his opponent was gone.

Skralla snuck up behind him and placed her dagger by his throat, saying “Don’t you dare scream. I have something to tell you so listen good!”

***

Back in Roxtus, Malum was given some Thornax supply and a tamed Spitik to ride on. He was told by Tuma that he has two weeks to find her. If he didn’t find her in two weeks, Tuma would send another army of Skrall to capture him.

Malum was happy to be free but upset on this arrangement.

Just how am I going to find her? These Skrall are too identical and are hard to distinguish, he thought.

***

After Skralla told Strakk about her mission, her life, and Tuma’s evil plan, she released him. Strakk turned to her and said,

“I don’t do deals like that! But since your father is out to wipe us all, then maybe I can provide you some information.

“You see, Skralla, the Grand Tournament is coming in a few days from now, I know a Glatorian that you can talk too, perhaps he can be trained by you and he would be ready to face off during the contest.”

“Then you’re coming too,” replied Skralla, giving Strakk some Thornax ammo, “This is my payment for now. And who are we meeting?”

“We will meet a friend of mine, his name is Gresh, a Glatorian of Tesara,” replied Strakk.

***

The next morning, Skralla and Strakk packed up their things and left Iconox before sunrise. Skralla rode on her Spitik while Strakk just walked along the way.

“Don’t you want to ride?” asked Skralla, “It’ll be faster.”

“Indeed, a faster way to run into any Skrall that are searching for you,” said Strakk.

“And what about those Vorox, Zesk and Bone Hunters?” asked Skralla.

“Vorox and Zesk are nothing to worry about. The Bone Hunters though can sure cause a lot of trouble, if they know who you are,” answered Strakk.

“Then I’m assuming that my tribe has informed them about my disappearance?” asked Skralla.

“Maybe, maybe not,” answered Strakk.

Just a quick question: Are there 20 Skrall including the captain, or 20 Skrall and the captain? Thanks a lot for including them. :classic:

That's actually a good question...I haven't decided yet....but I think it's the second one because Tuma (back in chapter 2) says to the leader to take "20 Fresh Troops" with him...so...yeah...it's the second option.... :thumbup:

Considering you need a 21st Skrall, I think the second one is the best idea.
