The Grass Lands

[Chinchilllin]

Meg The Human

In The Land of Ooo...

Meg turned around for only a moment, but as soon as she turned back the guy in green was gone, and the Draconian was watching the sky. How rude he just took off without even saying goodbye. I'm so tossing his buns next time I see that kid. And this guy, I just helped him, no thank you? Not even a name exchange? She shook her head at her thoughts. "This is why I hang with worms and penguins." she said aloud to herself. Meg took one last look around the shadowy land around her before running to her home.

At home, Meg grabbed her backpack and stuffed it with things she couldn't replace if the shadows reached the tree while she was gone. The teddy bear she bought from a witch a long time ago, some protective jewelery, a bottle of liquid horror crystal, a vial of some wierd liquid she found in the woods, and a couple of power rings given to her by Giant Worm King. With her valubles packed, she warned the worms to be careful and told the penguins to go back to the Ice Kingdom, hoping that they would be safer there. Her home now taken care of, she set out to find Ice Prince, so they could find that cloak. But first, she needed real weapons, so she set off to Finn and Jake's tree fort to see if she could borrow some.

[Enter from Shadow Kingdom]

A mass of shadows formed in the middle of the grasslands, and out of it appeared the Shadow Princess, pulling herself out of the darkness as if she were stuck to it. Her eyes roamed over the plains which were still frshly bruised and color-distorted from the last battle. "Such a shame I didn't get to have this place. Not yet anyway. Oh look, house people!" She spotted a group of migrating house people crossing the plains. An evil smiled played over her face as she waltzed over to the group. "Helloo~o little housies, you'll make fine minions..." She muttered as she grabbed one of them and held him up. The it was consumed by shadows slowly, and it soon turned into a small house-like shadow creature with sharp claws and teeth. The other housies were already running away, but their short little legs didn't carry them very fast. Shawnee chuckled and threw the new shadow creature toward them, which attacked and began spreading the shadow creature infection like a disease.

Queen of the castle that's made of sand
Staring in front of the universe
Maybe someday I'll be someone else..."

"Hey hey, woah woah hey, uncool mate." Rufus stepped up among the house people, and flew into the air to confront Shawnee. "Do you have any idea what you're doing?! I was in the middle of pelting these houses with eggs with my bro Donny when you... you spread these shadow things and turn the houses into shadow things, which means the eggs could pass right through them!" Rufus pulled back his hair for a moment so Shawnee could see the fury in his face. "You're that Shadow Princess girl. Lay off of Ooo, will ya? It's not like anyone else wants you as the ruler! You know how ugly the $100 bill would look if we put your face on it?"  

[DKrueger]

T'nix stirred slightly from his reclined postition. More like shuddered. There was that feeling again, of upset balance. And not the kind that came from one of the Aaa heroes. In fact, he'd ignored several of the so called "Heroes" who seemed a bit angry at him for ending "their fight." How dare they. He thought over in his head. They haven't the slightest idea of the issues presented by their presence. Some times the problem was that there were too many heroes to begin with. At the time however, such thoughts were not all that important. He rose to his feet again, seeing the Grasslands emptied. Seems everyone's gone off somewhere... But... He wondered aloud again, then gave a slight grumble. The wander's odd tendancies were rubbing off on him. There definately was something amiss.

He took another look around, straining his eyesight. Nothing in the direction of the grayscale landscape, but he could... Just vaguely make out a gathering a significant distance away, and so he set off towards it.
Soon enough, he was in range to make out what was going on. A group of house people, but their agressor wasn't the usual Grass ogre... In fact... It was a rather familiar for. Shawnee! He growled, aproaching without weapon drawn. He stopped with a decent distance between the two of them and look past her at her newly corrupted house minions with a slight frown, and crossed his arms, turning his gaze back to her. This has GOT to be deliberate. He said, sounding a bit disappointed if anything. You know every well that I'd only fight if you attacked the innocents. One round wasn't enough hmm? I only wanted to talk then. He reminded, neglecting the fact that it was her accomplice who'd dragged her away. He'd deal with that near-murderer later. He also neglected meantioning the whole fighting on commision deal, but he figured she knew that too. Not like the Dragons would put a bounty on her, so long as there were enough heroes to keep her at bay. That was their deal. So... Are we gonna battle? Or are you going to explain why the lump you'd go after the House people rather than working on the heroes?

Shawnee giggled and promptly ignored the demon guy's words. "Sorry I ruined your fun... Not. Don't worry, when I become Queen of Ooo you won't have to worry about ogres or house people." She was floatinf precariously above him, her mean glare switching over as she heard another voice. It startled her a bit because he used her real name. The Draconian, too? She frowned slightly. Couldn't she have a little fun once in a while without starting an angry mob...? Well, no actually. But still, she hadn't expected two agressors so early. "Oh boo-hoo. Poor, innocent, weak house people turning into part of my strong Dark Legion. I am working on the heroes, by building up my strength in my army. So you're here to confront me too then, T'nix? Well, if you both wanna battle me... Let's battle." She faintly remembered Jek's warning of staying out of trouble... Honestly, why did he even try? She almost laughed at the thought, but instead faced the two enemies. The newly transformed house people growled in anticipation.

"I am the owner of nowhere land
Queen of the castle that's made of sand
Staring in front of the universe
Maybe someday I'll be someone else..."

RUFUS

Both? Rufus had not noticed T'nix's presence until Shawnee had said the word "both." He looked down to the ground to find a Draconian. "Hmm, might as well be allies for now, eh mate?" Rufus called out to T'nix. He turned his attention back to Shawnee. "And for your information, Ogres and house people are an important part of the biological cycle, as well as a shooting range for eggs. You're just gonna make everything dull and boring, y'know. How are YOU gonna have fun if this whole place is in shadows?" He asked this to Shawnee while loading up his gunblade.  

[DKrueger]

T'nix gave a false sort of smile, stepping foward to block the demon from the conversation. Each citizen of Ooo is our responcibility. If you keep commit such crimes against the innocent, or unaligned, then you will recieve a bounty, and you'll be seeing a whole lot more of me. T'nix reminded. It was preseicely this type of behaviour that he knew made himself his own person, that also irritated him when the term "hero" was used to describe him.

But I'm not here to simply fight. T'nix said, changing his tone to one that was more casual, as he gazed up at the floating Princess, indicating that he didn't seem very much intimidated either. No... Lets make it... A duel. He offered, giving a half simle which exposed a few pointed teeth. Such a challenge was considered honorable amongst dragonkind. Even the lowest of the low could initiate a Dragon's Dare on his own accord, and no matter the outcome, it was forgivable, after all, a good alternative, and a bad alternative is what the Balance was all about. Even if the "good" side was in persuit of maintaining order anyways. That means, no minions. No demon. He said, glancing over at the new comer that was intruding as far as he could tell, ignoring his attempt at extending the olive branch for now. He almost laughed, only interested for losing his fun in throwing eggs out the House poeple, clearly not interested in the whole "aliance" deal at this point in time.
Just us, and the skills we have, until one of us surrenders. He contineud to explain, seeming oddly calm with the terms. Should I win... You'll restore all the 'work' you've done so far, and stop recruiting the sentient folk of Ooo. We're perfectly fine with you taking some animals. Or monster, or even generating your own. Heck, even the people from Aaa. You'd be doing me a favor. He continued, describing his own terms, such that would still leave Shawnee able to strive towards her goals. It seemed fair to him. He wouldn't have to bother her again then either. And should I lose, I'll offer you an assist on whatever lumping nightlike plan you come up with next. Sound fair? He asked, tiltiing his head slighly at the last question, his voice sounding unusually bright. As far as he was concerned, each alternative he gave would solve one problem for the Dragon Kingdom. It only depended how immediately one looked at it. What do you say? Deal? If not, we could always fight on... Any-thing goes standards. He said, adding the last bit as though he was a slight threat if allowed to fight to the full potential, un hindered by rules and regulations of a duel.

Jacob surfed on fire as he ran away from the tree fort. He felt misunderstood as he was almost burned out... again. Is there something wrong with me? Maybe that's why most of my friends told me not to get out here... I probably should of listened to them. He said to himself. He began to recall memories the first time he left the Fire Kingdom. Most of the people hated him and almost extinguished him. The second time, the tree fort. Then he recalled a saying," Fire's only purpose is to burn." It kept him comfort while being in the outside world. In his wild fire form, Jacob accidentally destroyed plains of grass. Nothing for him to do except spread fire. Only the sight of a girl, two boys; one a demon (?) and the other a dragon hybrid." I think... more fire." He said. He make a circle of fire around them all and shot multiple fireballs at them." I am AMBUSHING YOU."

... Or can be fiery as the Nightosphere... It's your choice. ∆

"Meh, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, man." The Shadow Princess said carelessly to the demon. What an annoying little thing he was. She made note to exile him somewhere far away when she took over... perhaps Lumpy Space. She never really liked Lumpy Space people. Shawnee listened to T'nix's challenge, and her smirk returned. She didn't even hesitate. "Sounds like a game~ Okay deal." She said shortly, then gave a clap. Her minions calmed down, but were riled up again as a random fire guy suddenly appeared. They began to attack him and the demon as well. Shawnee sighed as she dodged a fireball. "This won't due though. Let's be sure we won't be inturrpted, hm?" She held up her hands and closed her eyes, whispering 'Sha'kna shea'thnirva.' And a shadow dome enclosed around the two about to duel. She then opened her eyes and smiled. "It's virtually unbreakable for now. And when I win I suppose I'll fight demon boy next, if he's not already busy with hot guy over there." she said thoughtfully, tapping her cheek and giggling at her joke.

RUFUS

Before Rufus knew it, there was a big obstacle between him and Shawnee. A huge shadow barrier. He repeatedly pounded his fists on the shadow, to no avail. This was getting difficult while dodging fireballs... Rufus finally gave up on the barrier, and started to shoot with his gunblade at the fire guy. "COOL IT, WILL YOU? TOSSING FIRE AT RANDOM PEOPLE AIN'T GONNA GET YOU ANYWHERE IN LIFE." People these days were such SQUARES! He wondered if ghosts could pass through shadow barriers. Rufus took off his hat and release a tiny ghost, about 6 inches tall. It seemed very nervous, but Rufus shoved it into the shadow barrier, in hopes that he would penetrate it.

The bullets simply seemed to rejuvenate Jacob." NO. We're just getting warmed up here." He bursted into a gulf of flames and commanded the fire. Besides, Good, evil, it doesn't even matter. Fire was HIS purpose in his life. He shot more fireballs at the guy and again... and again. He noticed the person doing something when Jacob prepared for another burst."Mah!" He flung a rather larger one at him. Monster! He heard in his head. He threw a rather big one at Rufus before trying to get out himself.

... Or can be fiery as the Nightosphere... It's your choice. I'm just a dude. ∆

RUFUS

What the glob was this guy's problem? Rufus turned to face the huge fireball, then rapidly flapped his wings. It created a gust of wind powerful enough to deflect the hunk of burning nonsense into the shadow barrier. Rufus didn't turn to see if it was opened. "Mate, you're messing with the wrong demon," He said to the fire guy. This was now what Rufus liked to call personal. He took off his hat and released 10 ghosts into the air, and sent them after Jacob. When they reached him, they attempted to pull him down to the ground and pin him. They latched onto his neck, ankles, wrists, head, and everywhere else. "Begone! Begone, begone!" The ghosts chanted this single word repeatedly, at different times. Rufus started at Jacob, wondering if he should bury him alive. Quite rude to throw fireballs at strangers.

With

Ῥico the Llama

and

Қadence the Treasure Hunter

▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

Kadence sat slumped forward on Pico’s back as they flew over the grasslands. Currently she was burying one side her face into his fluffy, pink, furry neck. They’d been out all day and were currently heading back towards their popsicle-stick cabin that was nestled right outside the Candy Kingdom. The day had been long and tiring, Kadences’ newest treasure map had turned out to be a big fake, which had left her in a rather sad mood. It was a bigger let down that from when they’d been ripped from Aaa and ended up in Ooo but at least home was the same and their opposite gender counterparts were yet to be seen.

As they passed over the area, Kadence spotted something that was rather out of place, Kadence sat bolt upright on her flying llama friend’s back to make sure her eyes were not deceiving he. It was a large dome, that almost looked like it was made of…shadows? How odd. Maybe there was something special down there, maybe something shiny! “Pico! Let’s go down there and see what’s going on!” but the pink llama began to furiously shake his head. “No. No, no, no, no and NO. Kadence, something weird is going on down there! Whenever there are weird things going on it normally means something dangerous is going on!” Kadence sighed as Pico spoke, he was right of course but the lure of possible treasures had Kadence convinced they should go down there. “Come on, please Pico! There could be treasure down there or someone might have a map! Please!” She begged her best friend.

The llama gave in and descended into the grassland to see that there were a total of four beings in the area. A fire elemental and a demon were fighting each other outside the shadow-dome-thing and there were two figures inside the dome that Kadence couldn’t really make out. As she dismounted from Pico’s back she surveyed the area and sighed. “Maybe we shouldn’t have stopped after all…I don’t see anything of value here after all.” A few stray fireballs then flew the duo’s way. Pico shrieked a little and shrunk down to size of a small dog and hopped inside of Kadence’s bag. Pico wasn’t normally a coward but he wasn’t very fond of fire, ever since Kadence accidently lit a patch of his fur on fire, it had taken months to grow back. “LEARN TO AIM!” she shouted at him, raising her fist as she did so. Kadence then immediately realized now everyone knew they were there and covered her mouth with her hand. “Nice going.” Pico said from inside her black messenger bag. “Opps…”

Kadence then watched as the fire-boy with the bad aim was pinned down by some…were those ghost? Kadence could barely believe her eyes. Okay, well she could believe them, she’d seen ghost before but not someone control them like that. “That’s kind of impressive.” she said to herself.

∆ I can be as simple and warm as a simple flame...

"Huh?" Jacob looked outside the arena to see a girl and a llama standing outside. As the mini ghosts latched on Jacob, he said," Don't take this fight personal guy. It's just a thing we fire do." He transformed into flames and, like a snake, slithered out of it. Away from the ghosts, he transformed into his original form and again, shot the guy with more fireballs, more accurately." I'm starting to wonder.. Ego vocare gigas augue a caelo." He incanted. Just then, a bunch of small-sized meteors about a quarter of the shadow dome began to attempt and break the shield from the outside. He summoned a Lava sword and shield and awaited for another attack.

"If attacking strangers is your tradition, get a new tradition you nut! And you might as well give up on that barrier. Ain't nothing no how is going to break through," Rufus said as one of the fireballs caught him on the shoulder. "You are so lucky this jacket didn't burn up... know how much I paid for this? My warranty expired like 400 years ago. Funny how I'm still the same size... Whatever. Ghosts, return..." The ghosts crawled back inside Rufus's hat. "I'll just blow you away, like the little leaf you are, until I'm in the right mood." Rufus flapped his wings rapidly again, and started to fly in a circle. It created a small tornado... heading straight for Jacob. "Enjoy your flight!" Exclaimed Rufus.
