TLT: Beyond

[Buff_]

Something I decided to do for no particular reason. Well...meh. Some of it isn't really worded right, I think.. but I'll change that later.

Chapter 1-Simulation

Avo ran across the plains, the storm following behind. The spambots stood no chance, their heads ripped off from the ferocity of his attack. He kept on running, heading towards the next batch. They stood there, posting pictures and messages along the walls of the nearest building. Avo began a sprint. He outstretched his hand, and began to charge. It reminded him of Shoop da woop, but it was quickly dispersed from his mind. Static built, shrouding him in a mist or electricity. Slowly, it grew. The ball of energy expanded massively, far beyond the size of his hand. Getting ever closer, the spambots saw the incoming Avo, and began to do their own attacks. Quickly dashing to the side, Avo stopped charging, and released the blast from his fist. The attack was ferocious, cutting clean through most of them. Those who were left stared at Avo, not really taking in what had just happened.
A few seconds passed, Avo looked up and saw a glint of light. Zunar was here. He was here, with a sword. Avo turned his head and looked back at the spammers, their backs turned to the alleyway behind them. They had recovered from the sight of Avo’s attack, and had already begun to charge their own attack. Unluckily for them, they did not see the figure behind them sneak up and slice them apart.

**
The simulation ended. Avo was wiping sweat of his brow with a towel, Zunar shaking his hair. Mic swivelled around and looked at the pair.
“Well done” he said, a smile on his face “You’re improving vastly. Your skills as fighters are unquestionable.”
Buff looked at them hard, then smiled. “You’re going to be great warriors.”
As soon as he finished, a confused Alucard stumbled into the room. He looked around before gazing upon Zunar. He stood there for a second, Zunar was chatting with Avo, before finally walking over to him.
“I’ll take that” he said, snatching the sword from Zunar and putting it into the sheath on his belt.
“Hey Alucard” Buff made a gesture for Alucard to come to his side, “you’re up next” he grinned.


The simulation area, one of the biggest arenas in the whole of Runouw.com. Its vast halls of white on white, only identified by the smallest of lines on the floor. The white tiles were the grounds in which the world is created. Every time it is different, discarding all thoughts of creating a mental map. It is not something to be trifled with. Unpowered users of Runouw.com would have difficulty; it may be a simulation, but that doesn’t mean that which is created isn’t real.


**
It started again, Alucard and a few of the New Legends. Azn was on the outside, controlling the waves of virtual spambots. He grabbed the lever, and upped the level of difficulty. Spambots were coming by the dozen, smashing into the sides of all players. It was like a mini fighting game, but real.
Alucard was slashing spambots with his sword. Blood had been spilled everywhere, the dead bodies of the spambots surrounding him. The wave of spam stopped, the bodies disappeared. Silence. The moments were eternities. Alucard knew this wasn’t the end, but nothing seemed to be happening. He tried looking for the others in the area, but nothing seemed to be there. He was alone.
-----------------------------------
Meanwhile, on the outside...
“MIC! GET OVER HERE” Azn shouted. The system was going haywire, the levels way above normal.
Mic ran over and looked at the system. “What happened?” he asked desperately. Alucard was still in there, the others had finished their fights, something was latching on.
“I don’t know” he replied, “I was sitting here watching the fight, when the screen went blanked” he paused for breath. “Then... then it started controlling itself, exceeding everything.”
“Then we’ve got a hacker” Buff smiled. He had been listening the entire time.
-----------------------------------

Alucard stood there, sword sheathed, waiting. Gradually, a figure rose from the ground covered in black. Slowly it began to form into a huge troll like creature. It was named well, it was a troll. It was a massive seven feet tall, with bulging muscles. It was a disgusting blue-green colour, and smelt badly. Alucard took his stance, his sword in hand. “Come on beasty”

-----------------------------------
All they could do was watch. All fifteen people, the TLT, minus Alucard, and the New Legends were surrounding the screen onlooking Alucard. It was an amazing sight to see.
-----------------------------------

Alucard struck at the troll, digging into the flesh. It swung out, its arms flailing, hitting Alucard straight in the chest. He quickly recovered from the hit and stuck again, this time in the eye. It flinched for a second, holding a its clump of a hand over its eye. It was angry now, well more so than trolls usually are. This time it lunged for Alucard, who quickly dodged out the way. The resulting force hitting the ground shook it a little. A second to think, Alucard brought up his arm and sent a channel of magic through it into the beast. It was stunned, static. This time, he brought down his sword, directed it at the troll and plunged it straight into its heart.

-----------------------------------
It was now a sport. The danger had passed, and the they knew Alucard would survive no matter the outcome. Bets were being placed by the younger, less experienced members. GalaxyMario, GM or Galaxy for short, was placing all his money on the Alucard. Hyper was running it, instantly seeing it as a way to get a bonus. Even a normal member had turned up.
MessengerOfYaweh, MoY, had been passing by and had heard the shouts from inside. He had then immediately rushed in to see what was going on. It was here he became excited. Placing down 5 of the currency of Runouw.com on the troll he couldn’t lose. Obviously, he was wrong.

-----------------------------------
Using very quick jabs to the neck and chest, the beast fell, crushing simulation squares in all directions. The instantly changed back to the default colour of white. They simulation ended once again.

Alucard walked out the simulation room to be greeted by Meta and Megamario, two other TLT members. Both of them had been watching in fear that he would be injured. They’re friendship was great, going back to when the TLT had first started, all that time ago.
As soon as Alucard got to the main hanger, everyone else greeted and congratulated him. It was quite a feat, to beat a troll single handedly, not an everyday part of life. He was taken to the resting bay, while Sam and Azn worked on the simulation room. Sam was a computer genius, but just underneath Azn in terms of abilities. They were both tech wizards.

It was then that Suyo, a highly appraised mod in Runouw.com burst in. “Hey” he said, a stone look on his face, “Runouw’s requests you urgently.”


Chapter 2-(to be named and edited)

The stone halls of a mighty empire stood right outside the Tavern, its gleaming glory misunderstood by the normal citizens of the city. The rich intensity of the craftsmanship shone through the stones on the outside. Its exterior was magnificent enough, but only few had seen the interior. It had not been told in any document of any kind in the history of the city, only a simple legend existed. The legend was not spoke of often and so is shrouded with mystery, just like the interior itself.
The Tavern next to it was of small stature compared. It was a humble place where all respected users could visit. It was a place to relax, a bar of immense popularity, drawing in anyone passing by.

“He wants us now?” Sam asked astounded.
Suyo gave him a sharp look “Why else would I be here?”
“Well I dunno, to give us presents?” he grinned.
Suyo frowned “I came to deliver a message, not to receive sarcasm” he paused, “meet me outside the Tavern”
He left as soon as he came. He was a proud mod, but a fun one. Most of the time, he relaxed and was commonly known to be inside playing games. He was not serious often, something must be up.
Sam then turned to the rest of the group present, “Then we must go” he smiled.

In small groups the TLT, and the New Legends walked towards the city square. Most citizens were present that day, a slight problem for the Legends since they did not want to be noticed. The first group consisted of a mixture between the Legends; Buff, Avo, MIC, Sam and Zeb. Slowly, they walked towards the main body of the city.
Shops were open, citizens were walking around curiously taking peaks at the different products on sale. The Legends strolled beside them, occasionally peering over at the stools, diverting the thoughts of the people. They kept on moving through the city, slowly towards there destination.]
They arrived at the Tavern, a place to rest, a place to talk, and a place to have fun. Stepping inside, they found the place in chaos. Star-fawful and Itoofast, two regular customers in the tavern, were busy playing video games, and were oblivious to the fact that they were in hole in the floor. SuperSpongerific, another frequent customer, was lying flat, face down on the snooker table with at least thirty dry martinis beside him. Broken glass, chairs and bottles shards were lying across the vomit stained floor. A conversation started and finished as the nicknamed Star and Itoo began another match.
Mic, slightly aroused, rose his arm and tensed his hand. He began guiding things back to there original places, when a knock was heard. There was a flush, and the creak of a door. A figure appeared around the corner tightening his belt.
“What’d I miss?” he asked cheerfully.

The Tavern was quickly cleared up with combined work between Kimonio, and Mic. Kim was the cleaner and maintenance of the Tavern, and generally went about keeping the Tavern a great place to be.

Slowly but surely, the Tavern began to look like it hadn’t been hit by a bomb. Star, Itoo and Sponge were led out to the streets by Zeb, and were sent back to their dirty dens. Walking back in, Zeb grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the bar, sat down and drank it. Less than a minute later, five members walked in, later to be revealed as the next group of Legends.


A few minutes later, the front door swung open, with Suyo and his fellow mod colleague Niklaw behind it. They walked, in gestured towards the wall and waited. The Legends, following their gaze also turned towards the wall.
“What are we looking for?” asked one of the legends.
“Just wait” Niklaw replied grinning, not taking his eyes off of the wall.
The wall began to crack, and split revealing an opening. Light from the other side spilled out across the floor and onto the faces of Niklaw and Suyo. They looked at the Legends, then walked into the crack. Curiosity kicked in as the Legends followed the mods into the crack.

The Legends found themselves in a giant stone hall, filled with white pillars stretching all the way into the ceiling. It was a vast stone like cavern, with deep walls and a high roof. The Legends followed Niklaw and Suyo through the cavern, towards a subtle buzz at the end. They kept going, finally arriving at a velvety red curtain strung across a hole in the wall. Passing through, they were showed to a man dressed in a black robe.
“I present to you, Runouw” Suyo grinned.

Chapter 3-Spread

“So that’s Runouw” Megamario whispered to Meta, as they stood behind the rest of the Legends.
Mic was the first Legend to step forward, “I.. I mean, We were told that you wanted to see us”
‘Indeed he did” the red cloaked man replied.
“He?” Suyo interrupted.
“You haven’t figured it out yet?” the man smiled, “lets see if you can figure it out”
“OH MY GOD!” a voice suddenly shouted from behind, “IT’S RUNOUW!”
The Legends turned around to see Moy, his face filled with delight and enthusiasm. “What are you doing here!?” the mod Suyo shouted.
“There was a crack in the Tavern” Moy pointed towards the opening into the Tavern. “ I wanted to see what was behind it.”
“The door was locked!” shouted the astounded Suyo “and there was a sign saying not to come in!”
“Well I’m sorry!” Moy shouted back, “I was woking on the advertisements!”
Suyo shook his head disappointingly “oh.... just get out, this is not for you to here”.

He stared at Moy, and started towards him. Moy was still staring at the cloaked man, even after Suyo had started dragging him out. After a few seconds, Moy finally came to his senses, and began to resist.
“Hey.. erm... SUYO! Let me go!” Moy protested.
“You’re not authorised” Suyo said, now dragging Moy by his collar. “go home, this is not a matter for you to deal with.”
“But it’s Runouw! The master of the city!” Moy struggled against Suyo’s arm.
“You are not permitted” Suyo paused, “now, you must go home. Stay out of this mess.”
“I WANT TO STAY!” Moy shouted!
“Will you just sshhh? You need to go” Suyo moved into the Tavern and to the front door. Unlocking, and opening it, he threw Moy into the cold dark street. He was about to turn back, when he suddenly stopped. “Don’t come back in” he said coldly.

Suyo returned to the crowd, and stood beside Niklaw. Runouw then turned to them. “I.. am not Runouw”
“You’re not!?” shouted a Legend.
“Who are you then?” shouted another.
“I am.. his brother.”
“But you look the same.”
“Twin brother” the man corrected himself. “Call me...”
The twin was interrupted by Suyo “Hold that thought...” he put his finger up, towards the man, and looked towards the Tavern door. “Never mind, carry on.”
“Yes... thank you” he shuffled on the spot “I have been told by my brother to give a message, if he did not return, which sadly, he has not. I ask much of you, but will you venture away from Runouw.com?”

The Legends looked at each other, they were quite surprised. Runouw isn’t here?
“They will go” stated Niklaw, suddenly. The crowd looked at them in astonishment.
“We haven’t even talked about it yet!” shouted Ayrayen from the depths “we can’t all go!”
“True”, Azn agreed, we can’t all run after something we don’t even know about. What are we looking for exactly?”
“A threat” the cloaked man replied, “my brother thinks he has found something, but he may have been stalled. Please, find him.”
“Don’t worry, we will do all that is in our power” Azn said back to the twin, “but give us time. We can’t go out head first.”
“No no,” the brother shook his head and smiled. “just tell me when you have decided.”

“I’m glad we’re out of there” marked Sam to Azn as they walked outside the Tavern. and were heading back to the temple to discuss recent matters.

“We can’t do it” blab said to the current council “we can’t be at two places at once”
“We don’t have to be” Mic suggested “we can split up.”
“But how would that work?” blab protested “we’re a team.”
“It’ll have to do” Meta cut in “we made it together by ourselves, we can work in groups.”
“Who’s going where then?” Ayray asked.
“I’ll stay behind” Hyper said, suddenly. “Meta and Bane will stay with me and help the citizens.” he paused, then put his hand up as Bane started to protest, “I need you. These people won’t help themselves. We need to keep them together, as a group, stop riots, and bring them into war if need be. I need you to do this.”
There was a moment of silence, then, “So the rest of us are going then?” asked Blab but before anyone could answer, he said, “Hold on, where are we going?”
“To the edge” Buff answered, “at the edge you will find a door to the rest of the worlds. We will go there, and venture off afterwards. Runouw can’t have gone far, and there are bound to be clues.” he smiled as he got up. “It’s decided then” he said, “Meta, Hyper and Bane will stay, the rest of us will go.”

Mic and Sam went to tell Runouw’s brother about their arrangement, which he gladly agreed to. So Bane, Hyper and Meta stayed at the temple, and the other thirteen Legends started there journey to the edge of Runouw.com.
It took a few hours of solid walking to get to the edge, and they were welcomed by a great wall, with a great door. The door was like a blessing from an angle, covered in pure gold. The way out. The Legends hadn’t been here since its creation, just after they had all arrived. Now all newbies had to pass a series of tests just to get access through the mighty doors.
“I’d say we should get going then” Pi said. The Legends nodded, and with great struggle, opened the doors. They were greeted with a blinding white light. Pi nodded at his comrades and headed through the doors. Seconds later, the rest of the Legends followed suit, engulfed by the brightest light seen in Runouw.com



Buff shifted in his sleep, and slowly opened his eyes. Recalling what had just happened, he widened his eyes, he hadn’t remembered falling asleep. Groggily, he sat up and rubbed his eyes. He waited for his pupils to adjust, when he was welcomed by awe. Millions upon millions of golden and silver gates swung across the gaping room. It was like a sped up parade. The edges of the room stretched on for miles and miles, there was just no end to it. He gradually got up, and wiped himself down. Sweeping off the dust from his clothing, looking down upon the ground, where he noticed a motionless Avo on the floor. He quickly shook him, until he too opened his eyes.
Avo rubbed his eyes, “Where are we?” he asked.
“Not sure” Buff replied, viewing the area. Using Buff’s arm, Avo slowly picked himself up and stood beside Buff. He too then, looked around.

It was like a space city for ads. There were spambots, viruses and all other types of file whizzing around like they owned the place. Avo tightly grabbed Buff’s arm as he stared at the spambots. Slowly he released his grip, finally noticing they meant them no harm. Looking at his feet, Avo could see perfect reflections of himself and Buff. Looking further, he could see that everything was perfectly reflected, it was like standing on a bright, shiny mirror. Upon closer look, the floor was actually pure white, but it was so clean and flat it appeared as though it was a mirror.
Avo shuffled uneasily, “I don’t think we’re anywhere good”
“Why’s that?” Buff asked curiously.
“Have you see this place? It is full of.... everything and something about this floor makes me feel... uneasy.”
“You shouldn’t be, we can handle anything.” Buff paused for a second “The question is, where is everyone else?”
Avo suddenly looked around him, there was no Legend in sight. “I hadn’t thought about that” he said worried.
“I’m sure there fine” Buff said. Moments later he added “well I hope so”.



“WHAT THE HELL!” Zeb shouted.
“What?” GM asked, smiling.
“YOU SLAPPED ME!”
“You were asleep, what else could I do?”
“Well I don’t know, you could have just shaken me!”
“Well I didn’t, okay? Now, where are we?”
“WELL I... what?”
“Spriter’s Resource” sounded a familiar voice.
GM turned around towards the voice, “Zunar?”
Taking his eyes off his fingernails, Zunar looked up, “Yeah?”
“So it is you.” he paused “so, erm, how do you know where we are?”
“It’s there” he pointed behind GM and Zeb. There, in big shiny, friendly letters, lay the words ‘Spriter’s Resource’. They were crafted with bright pink neon lights, and perfectly rounded edges.
“They must have put a lot of effort into that” Zeb wondered aloud.
Getting up off Zeb, GM then slapped Zeb again. “WHAT WAS THAT FOR?” Zeb shouted, now very annoyed.
“It was fun” GM grinned.
“Well you can’t argue with that” Zunar commented dryly.
Zeb gave Zunar a hard look. “Hmph” he grunted as he got up.
“What do we do now, then?” GM asked.
“We wait” was the reply.
“Really?”
“No, you idiot. We see what’s happening around here. We still have our mission.” Zunar nodded at Zeb, “let’s go.”


Mic started raving to one of his favourite songs, massive headphones over his eyes. Blablob, and Sam just watched Mic. A few moments passed, then Mic suddenly fell on the floor writhing in pain. Sam and Blab rushed to the floor, “What is it?” Blab asked, taking off the headphones. Mic screamed.
A moment or two passed, then Mic said calmly “Have you ever listened to a screamer with full volume?” None of them replied, “well it ♥♥♥♥ hurts!” he burst out.
“Why were you were even listening to it?” Blab asked.
“I went through the wrong link.” he said, “I had Eric Clapton up, then I went for another, but got a screamer instead.” Mic shivered.
“So wher..?” Sam started.
“are we?” Mic finished, “we’re at Youtube. Where else would there be screamers, and music?”
“Well...” Same began.
“Don’t answer that” Mic cut it.
“What I don’t get” Blab started, “is why only us three are here. Where’s the rest of the group?”
“We must have...” Sam said.
“We’ve split” said Mic.
“Will you stop interrupting me!?” Sam burst out, “we need to get out of here, and find the others”
“Why do we need to leave?” Mic asked questioningly“this place is wonderful.”
“It’s not if you look at what’s coming” Blab said, “look”. Blab pointed at an oncoming crowd.
“What is that?” Sam asked.
“Whatever it is, it isn’t good.” Blab replied. The three Legends took their fighting stance, and prepared to fight.

---

The deer ran at the sound of footsteps as they padded across the dense forest. The heavy thuds bounded off the floor in a steady pattern, homing towards the bright clearing. Seeing the light, the dark figure rose its speed and quickened its pace. The trees gradually spread out as it neared its destination, and it slowed its pace. The dark silhouette stopped, and looked around. It then slowly walked out into the clearing. Upon arriving, it followed a set of tracks moulded in the dirt to a double door.; a giant pair of golden doors gleaming in the sunlight. It stood silently for a few seconds, seemingly pondering on what to do. Eventually, it decided to wait and sat down on the soft grass underneath its feet.

It sat there with its feet crossed, waiting. It swayed in the breeze as it waited, hours upon hours. Finally, after a long wait, something began to change; the gap between the doors had started to glow. It shone a bright light, causing the figure beside to cover its eyes. The doors creaked, and slowly opened. The light got brighter as the gap became wider and wider, eventually revealing the image of one of the Legends. The Legend stumbled out, tripped and fell next to the figure sitting on the grass.
“Ayray?” the figured asked, astounded.
The figure gradually opened his eyes “Moy?” he breathed. He winced his eyes, then dropped his head and fainted.

[LUIGIMAN >:0]

Whats this all about

[MessengerOfDreams]

I like it already. I assume since this has a Mic in it (not to mention Me, who seems like quite the loser) that this is a prequel?

[Buff_]

Yeah. Only 4 New Legends are in it.

[Avo]

Whats this all about

*facepalm*

Great story, Buff! When you told me about this I thought it was gonna be great, I was right! Can't wait for more!

Also, watch the grammar and spelling mistakes, very, very few but still, watch out for that.

[Buff_]

Yeah. I'm not doing it on Word so I can't really tell where they are. Nor does grammar come up, it's frustrating.

[Yoshi Boo 118]

Great job, Buff! Almost no grammatical mistakes, plot is good, storyline great. I gives it a 9/10.

[MICrophone]

I like, but two things.

1. You say this is a prequel, which MOY deduced from me being in it. So I assume you consider my two stories part of the storyline. So, if this is a prequel, how can this have four New Legends when my first TLT story only had one?
2. You shouldn't have to rely on Word for grammar and spelling. I never use them for my stories. It's good to practice picking those things out on your own, so it's good you're not using it for this.

Besides those two things, keep going…not sure where this is heading, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.

[Buff_]

Ok.... different time line. Alternate universe.

Oh, and I don't rely on Word, it just helps me when I get a 'fragment', or whatever. Sometimes its hard to notice those things.

EDIT: Wait... no. This can be a sequel. Contains SPOILERS, and may refer to other things, since Mic's back.

Oh, and 24murph went into the car industry, while brando just quit.... for some reason.

[MessengerOfDreams]

He quit in TLT-Mic's second version... right? Anyway, if you need a legend to take his place...
