The End of the Universe

The story is progressing good, I'm awaiting the nextpart from the Zu headquarter, was it that you called it?

But I was just wondering, are our characters based on how you see us on the boards? Or are you just jotting down what fits? I'm not going to get insulted either way, just so you know.

I'm jotting you guys down as it works. This is no reflection of my opinions of you guys. They are characyers, and I wanted some names for the characters, so I figuered I'd better have some volunteers. I'd be a bit weird if some random story popped out with random people's names in it and they knew nothing of it. And this isn't probably going to be a very long story, so sooner or later, it'll be done. Most likely long since done by New Year's Eve 2004.

Chapter Four
Unknown location
2012, Months later

The ZUers, now definantly friends, had gone through a lot. They had discovered many places along the way, all of which looked like the first site, and with every place, they had less and less clues about who had done these heinous crimes. But now, they were about to taste the fruits of their labor. They were coming closer to Zelda Universe.

{Atop a hill}
Darkness had long since fallen. There was snow everywhere, and what the friends had wanted to see most of all for three years, soon to be four years, was only a few miles ahead.
"Can you believe it?" said GD, staring into the darkness of the faraway sillouette of Zelda Universe. "After all these years!"
"Yeah, and nothing bad even happened with that book!" said h-a-b.
"Isn't it odd though" said Leo. "That we haven't run into one of those sites for days now?"
"Who cares?" said Spiff. "We're almost home!"
"Hey guys, what are you going to do once you get back home?" asked DD.
"I'm going to the Entertainment area, to find out what we've missed, then head back to Din, for our world domin......I mean, world peace campaign." said GD.
"I'm going to play games, eat junk, and sleep once I get back to Farore!" said Leo.
"Yeah, me too!" said Spiff.
"I'm going straight to the CT and post that we've returned, and then maybe adopt a newbie." said h-a-b.
"I'm going straight to the admin with the evidence we've found that could mean the end of all our plans." said DD.
"Oh yeah." they said.
"Well, there's no way we can make it back to ZU tonight, but we should be back there by tommorrow." said Leo.
"Oh, but tonight's New Year's Eve!" said GD.
"Well, then we'll spend our first day of 2013 with the ZUers." said Spiff.
"I wonder how many there are now?" said h-a-b.
"Well, when we left, there were 10,000+ members, and ZU's been around for a while now, so I'm guessing they're at 15,000 or so members." said DD.
"Wouldn't it be cool if there were 20,000 members?" said Leo.
"I doubt that's even possible." said GD.
She then looked down at her watch.
"Omg! You guys! There's only 15 seconds till midnight!"
"Wow!"
"Isn't odd though, that all the lights are out at ZU?" said h-a-b.
"Maybe they're going to do a fireworks show." said Leo.
"10 seconds"
"Ok then guys." said DD, sitting down. "Let's lie here and see the show, and then tommorrow, we'll be home."
The friends lay in the snow, and awaited the New Year.
"5......4........3........2.......1........... ."

Zelda Universe
2013
A figure in the shadows stared at a broken digital clock. It now read HAPPY NEW YEAR, ZUERS! across it, with the seconds slowly building up for the New Year. A small voice, barely a whisper, escaped the shadowy figure.
"Happy New Year."

WoooOOoooo .....WAH@!~ *falls off the egde of her seat* <.< So much tension. ^__^ *nibbles her fingernails* o.O Ewwwwww Anyway heh. good job. Keep it comin ^.^

Chapter Five
Field, 15 miles away from Zelda Universe, or 5 hours by foot
January, 2013

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" the friends yelled.
Their yells echoed across the plane.
"What happened?" said Leo.
"Yeah, where are the fireworks? The parties? The singing?" said h-a-b.
"Isn't it obvious?" said Spiff.
"No not really. Please explain, Mr. Science." said GD sarcastically.
"Well, they're having a lock in of course!"
"What's that?" the others said.
Spiff groaned and rolled his eyes. "A lock in is where a bunch of people get in a huge building for a giant sleepover, and at a certain point, they lock everyone in until morning, where, once inside, no one gets in, no one gets out, and all they do is party until they fall asleep."
"Ohhhhh!" they said.
"I wish we could do that." said DD.
"Well, tommorrow they'll probably have some partying left to do, so we should probably go to sleep now, so we can save our energy and party hardest!" said Leo.
So they set up camp and went to sleep.

Field, 15 miles from Zelda Universe, or 5 hours by foot
January, 2013, the next morning

When h-a-b woke up, he realized he was very cold. He reached for a blanket, when he really woke up.
There was no blanket. There was no tent. All there supplies were gone.
"Guys! Wake up! Something happened!" he yelled.
The others awoke groggily, then realized what h-a-b did.
"How long have we been like this?" asked Spiff.
"I don't know. Hours probably." said DD.
"How come we haven't been affected by the cold?" said GD.
"I don't know. Maybe it's because we signed that book!" said Leo.
"Good thinking, DD." said h-a-b.
"Whoever took our stuff was pretty good. They even took our ground cover, right out from underneath us!" said DD.
"What does it matter?" said GD. "We're going to be at ZU soon enough anyways. Let's go!"
The friends, not having to take down anything, ran towards the blob that was the Zelda Universe building, running towards what they had longed for for four years. They would soon taste the fruits of their labor.
But would that fruit be the Forbidden Fruit?

Oh, the tension is building. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Well, this chapter will probably let out some of that tension. Only to build more up for later.
Oh, and the characters call eachother by their names, not these abriviations. I'm just way too lazy to write everything out.

Chapter Five
Field outside Zelda Universe, 1 mile away
The next morning, January 2013

After running for such a long ways, barely resting for more then five minutes, they were so close. They could see more and more of Zelda Universe.
Which was actually raising more and more questions.
"Wouldn't you think by this hour they'd all be up and partying now?" said Spiff.
"yeah, and I don't see the ZU flag." said GD.
"Or the statues." said Leo.
"Something is up." said h-a-b. "But what?"
"I don't know, but it may be serious." said DD. "See? Some of the windows are broken."
"Oh no." said Leo. "We need to get there. Now."
So they sprinted like they had never sprinted before. It seemed as though they would fall face down into the snow covered cobblestone, or that their arms or legs would fall off. It mattered not to them. Something was terribly wrong with their home, their friends, foes, and leaders. Their old way of life was at stake.

Zelda Universe Courtyard
2013

And indeed, something was wrong.
"My god." said GD, barely breathing, as were the others. "Look."
They did not need to be told to look.
The snow in the courtyard was covered with a layer of ice. Most of the exterior windows were blasted outward. The flagpole was bent over backwards. 75% of the flag was under ice. The statues, which were the three admin, and the three goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore, who each stood, mod, goddess, mod, in a circle around the Triforce. All those statues were toppled and broken. The small bronze plaque by the entryway was gone.
DD walked over to the flagpole. He stomped the icy snow which incased the flag, and took it off the pole. The others circled around him.
It was a small, blue flag, and all that could be read on the flag was "Ze..a Univ...e, es. ...." The rest was burnt.
They walked towards the doors that lead to Zelda Universe.
The doors were made of carved stone and glass, which had been painted by the members. The five remembered painting some of it themselves. One of the doors lay broken on the stone floor, the other slightly ajar, only on one hinge. The two stone gargoyles in front of ZU's heads were smashed off. They found one of their heads in the bushes.
"Should we go in?" said Spiff.
"There's no point." said h-a-b. "We know that no one's in there."
"But aren't you a bit curious what happened to our friends?" said DD.
"Not that curious." said Leo.
GD walked in.
In stunned silence, they followed behind her, in single file, half knowing what they'd find, the other half frightened of what they would find. They were 100% scared of what they wouldn't find.

Wow, your could at building tension. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Thanks. I have no idea where I learned how to do that. Maybe I just started doing it because it's my style, or maybe I learned it in English one year. No, I think I just started doing it. But yeah. Ok, here we go.

Chapter Six
Zelda Universe
January 2013

They had to brush away large cobwebs and spiders webs and their dust to get through. The cobwebs were many, and whispy, like a veil that was so thick, it took all of the to push it away. It wasnn't so think, but a lot like cotton candy, so that it did get sticky, and clung to their clothes, hair, and skin. Eventrually, after pushing their way through the think cotton candy veil, they made their way to the main entryway.
The entryway of Zelda Universe had once been very beautiful. The floors were polished marble, and there were two grand staircases, that led to the upper levels of Zelda Universe. There were about three or foour stories in all. The Staircases themselves were a work of art. They were the tallest set of stairs in the whole world. They didn't look very damaged, so it seemed that it was probable that they still were, although no one from the outside had come here in many years.
Nearby, there was couch after couch after couch, and there was also a bar and fast food place there too. At that bar, they'd serve any drink you wanted, since several of the members were underaged.
The red carpet on the stairs was faded and burnt, often, in places, burnt to the floor. The couches had holes and burn marks on them, and the bar/fast food place were half demolished.
Zelda Universe, in no way, had been a ritzy place. In fact, that entry room was probably the most fancy place in ZU. Often times, the carpt got stained and torn, so every year they'd replace it. On New Year's, too.
There was also a unique feature about the stairs. In the admin's office, there was a button, and once pressed, the stairs would even out, making a giant slide, once the carpet was removed. And, since there were think railings, so that no one would fall off, they would have some of the Clan Games right there. One year, it was fridge box racing, where they'd take refridgerator boxes, and make tobaggons out of them, and, since the stairs were so wide, they could fit about 10 boxes on there, 3 for Din, 3 for Nayru, 3 for Farore, and one for the newbies, who didn't belong to a clan, and the older members who weren't in a clan.
"Well" said DD, his voice echoing through the place. "Prehaps we should split up?"
"Yeah, I guess." said Spiff. "After all, there's no one in here anymore."
"Ok then. Spiff, you check the Battle Area, New Member's place, where the Adoption Center was, and the gameroom, GD, you search the Fanfic Library and the FanArt Gallery, the Zelda Area, and the sig shops, h-a-b, you take the media center, the feedback area, and the Temple of Knowledge, Leo, take the ChitChat, the RPG, and the Awards Area, and I'll take the Web area, the Clan's, and the admin place."
So they spilt up, hoping to find clues, and clues they would find. Maybe more then they had wanted to know.

Wow your a pretty good writer. Nice chapter. It sort of took away the tension a bit better.

NOTE: For this chapter, I'll be making reference to some people's battle arena people and weaponry. Fair warning. Oh, see if you can guess who's stuff I'm using. Hope no one gets mad. Oh, and all the weapon slection in random. Oh, and I know that Atari and Xbox aren't related, I just needed an example. The next few chapters will be them discovering clues about what happened, and the ending of the next few chapters will be similar..

Chapter Seven
Zelda Universe: Battle Area: SearchOne
January 2013

Spiff was now in the battle arena, which had hosted some of the most heated battles, which had been recorded in the Battle Archives, along with the characters, and results.
The Battle Arena was actually made up of several smaller, white fields. However, once a battle was going on, it was programmed to show the state of the field, and even have feelings, ie, hell would be hot, mountains would be cold, and they could even simulate a wet feeling for fighting underwater.
They would also simulate whatever forms that the two or more combatants took on. However, the one thing not simulated was the weapons.
They were real all right. Real swords, real guns, real whatever. And so that they didn't completely kill each other, they were placed in booths underneath of the field, with a robot, so that they could fight, and wouldn't be killed, and at the same time, while this was all going on, the battle and the conditions of the field, were all virtually displayed on the field, which had taken on what had been imputted.
Several ran at a time,and they even had one large field which took place specifically for huge torunaments. Yes, the Battle Arena had been full of the air of victory, defeat, and technological advancement.
Spiff went down a set of metal steps onto the Field to investigate. He noted that a few of the fields were still working, for some odd reason, and he could see the fallen warriors, still trapped inside of it.
For some reason, Spiff felt that they should all have weapons, so he decided to search a few of the cyber-tombs for a sword or or gun or something.
The first weapon he picked up was from an archer. It was wooden. Very sturdy. It had several assorted arrows: regular, poison tipped ones, ones with fire or ice infused into the arrowheads, ones fused with wind and light, and ones fused with lightning and earth. This fallen archer also had two small kantanas. Spiff took them from him. He would take these for GD.
The next person he found was from a swordfighter. He took her twin swords.
They were three feet in length, and each was made of silver and encrusted with diamonds in the pommel. However, he accidentally touched the two tips of the hilts together, and they infused into one, ultimate, double edged sword. He would take this weapon for h-a-b.
This next weapon he found was one of his own personal ones. It was a simple leather pack filled with throwing stars, and a two foot long sword which looked somewhat like a sword he had seen in the video game, Soul Calibur2. He would take these for himself.
'Ok, three down, two to go' he thought to himself.
This next weapon he found had to do with magic. It was a bow and a set of arrows, and a staff the was covered with mysterious runes. He would take this set for Leo.
'Ok, now something for DD.'
He took DD's weaponry from two different people: one was two kantanas that were more like swords, and the other was a double edged sword, which was bent, probably because of whatever place had caused ZU to fall to ruin, like a boomerang. Spiff threw it, and it flew like a boomerang, except it never came right to him, but always flew right into his hand perfectly.
This sword must've been changed by the force that killed ZU. he thought. He took these for DD.


Zelda Universe, New Member's Lounge: SearchTwo
January 2013

Spiff didn't like what he saw. At this specific day, many of the new members had met here. Many were in the adoption center, along with a few members that he had remembered being new members when he'd left. Probably there to pick up their new adoptees.
Their bodies had been too perfectly preserved, just like at the one villiage they had found so many months ago. All their faces had pure terror etched on them. The Adoption Center was very badly burnt up.
They knew what was going to happen, but couldn't do anything. And they attacked the Aoption Center, by the looks of things.
Spiff remembered when he'd been adopted. He'd felt so happy to have a mentor who'd watch out for him. He sure hoped that he'd never be the one to have to find his adopter. It'd be like finding his best friend dead. Spiff moved on.

Zelda Universe, the Game Room, FinalSearch
January, 2013

Spiff entered the Game room, where basically, any member could play any video game from any system they wanted, from Atari to Xbox, NES to GameCube, Playstaion to PS2, and anything in between. This room had dozens of big screen TVs, and tons of high speed computers. There was also a snack bar nearby, and a lounge to figure out some of the game's trickier bosses, and to link up on anything from Gameboy Original to the Gameboy Advance, SP, or DS.
This room was almost empty. None of the systems were on, not even the Gameboys. The only bodies were hiding around the couches and behind the counter of the snackbar.
'Well, it seems that no one would be playing a video game if they knew of their doom, so these people must've known about what was going on before hand and scattered around the building.' Spiff said aloud.
He sat on a couch. So far, the only things that he could piece together were that whatever had happened here, there was an explosion, and that the bomb had been latched to something important, ie, there had been a huge burn area on the tourny field and the archives in the BA, the Adoption Center was nearly demolished, and anything having to do with Zelda here was burnt up. He decided to meet the others in the entryway.

Zelda Universe, the Great Stairs
January 2013

As Spiff came down the stairs, he noticed that DD, Leo, and h-a-b would come off a different level, and they walked down together, talking about what they had found out. Spiff gave them their weapons. Just after discussing a few things, they realized that GD wasn't there. They then heard a noise. A very loud noise.



.......
oooo! What could it be? Tune in next time to find out! Same doom time! Same doom channel! (sp?)

Ooh, the tension is rising again.

I would guess it's not GD screaming, but rather her makeing someone scream.^_^

And, if you find h-a-b tedious to write, most people call me HAB.

lol jk.
And h-a-b wasn't getting tedious, but if it's easier to read that way, then I'll do that. Ok, roll movie! *sits on couch, watches, and eats popcorn*

Chapter Eight
Zelda Universe, Media Centre, SearchOne
January 2013

HAB entered the room that had once been the source of entertainment news for ZU, be music, actors, movies, anime, international entertainment, etc.
The Centre looked like a very clean version of Times Square. There were several giant screen TV about 20-25 feet high, and maybe one and a half times longer. The screens played entertainment news, music and their videos, information on the artists, editorials on whatever the members felt like saying, and other stuff. There were also a few booths were members could vote for their favorite song, movie, or whatever was going to be in a poll and played on the screens, and a few mixing stations, where ZUers could create custom records from their favorite artists, and play them for when ZU had a huge party, and all of the supplies, ie food, drinks, pool toys, etc, were there too. And for the deaf, on the bottom of the screens, was a five foot tall pannel, which scrolled across them what was being said or played. There was also, to the back of the Centre, a concert hall. If a Zuer could get someone to play there, they would, and the concert hall could seat most of ZU there.
Now, as HAB walked around, there had been somewhat of a struggle in here, but it was obvious by the state of the place who'd lost. Many members had fragments of glass bottles still in hand, and there were shards everywhere. There were also several drained bottles of drinks, which had dried onto the floor, which crystalized any spilled food.
This room had a huge blast area in the concert hall. As HAB entered it, he saw the entire stage and all the lighting equimpment was destroyed, as was the sound booth nearby, and the mosh pit. There were a few bodies on the ground near the stage, and fewer were in the seats.
So, HAB thought. Looks like the concert hall was a main blast area, and they wouldn't want to go in there if the bomb was in there, but a few did anyways.
One or two of the TV had burn holes on them, and their rubble was on the ground, no doubt with bodies underneath it. But a few were still in tact, and some of them were frozen with entertainment news of the time of the attack on it. Unfortunantly, there were no dates on the playback, only a time. The times were earlier in the morning, between 8-9 am.
Now I have a rough time of attack, which would mean that the ZUers may have been a bit groggy and off guard at first, whic means, at first, this hostile takeover was going too easily, but then we fought back. Good for us!
Even one of the broken TVs worked slightly. Most of the time, it stayed black, but sometimes would show a three second clip of something having to do with entertainment, be it from then, or this pretesnt day. Words would stream across the words column, then spill onto the floor, losing form and turning into sparks. This was somewhat odd, since he figured that once the words reached the end, they would simply dissapear, but right now he was dealing with far odder things right now then a few sparking words, so he didn't give it much more thought.

Zelda Universe, The Questions, SUggestions, and Feedback Room, SearchTwo
January, 2013

When HAB walked in, he saw that this room was set up somewhat like an older bank. There were dozens of desks, each with a body nearby it, and there were also stacks of paper, casettes, or disks that had either spilled onto the floor, or were stacked neatly on the desk, just as they had been left. HAB remembered that through this room, there was a rumor that there was entry here to the mod's secret chamber. He knew it had something to do with this room, whether to get in here was the entrence or a key or something, but it was this room that there was entrence, and judging by the way things were, it seemed that whoever had looked for it hadn't found it. They had merely trashed the place. The only blast was on a wall leading to the Temple of Knowledge. Since that was next on his list, HAB decided to walk through the hole, and hope he wasn't late for class.

Zelda Universe, The Temple of Knowledge, FinalSearch
January, 2013

The Temple of Knowledge was probably the biggest and probably the only source of education at Zelda Universe. Since it wasn't actually a school, but more like an are for people struggling with something, be it Englsih, math, science, etc, it was set up somewhat like a classroom. There were large fireproof like tables scattered around the classroom, all with their own subject, and the helpers would go from table to table, helping their co-members in any way they could.
Now, from the looks of things here, there wasn't a blast point in the Temple of Knowledge, which was odd. It seems that the blast from the other room had torn open the wall, which is what affected this room. Some of the tables were charred, most broken, filled with debris, helpers and the ones who needed the help still in their seats. It seemed that the enemy hadn't been interested in the temple.

Zelda Universe, Grand Staircase
January 2013

As HAB left the Temple and went down the stairs, he met up with DD, Leo, and Spiff. Spiff handed HAB two silver swords, with some diamonds on them.
"Touch the tips of their hilts together." said Spiff.
HAB did so, and they turned into an awesome silver double edged sword.
"Cool" said HAB. "But why did you grab these?"
"I figured that in case we needed them, we should be prepared, plus they're pretty cool."
"Who'd come here? If no one's been here in years, I doubt they'd start now."
"We did"
HAB was silent.
"Hey, where's GD?" said DD.
Just then, they heard a noise come from the library. It was a loud scuffle, which didn't seem natural with a rotting building under investigation. They went to investigate, weapons in hand.

Well, like? *throws away empty popcorn tub*

Who says that it's your popcorn? :confused: Besides, I'm a slave to food. I eat all the time, but the funny thing is, I have such a high metabolism, I burn everything away! I'm as thin as a post! People have actually asked me if I'm anorexic, so sometimes I get bored and say yeah. Ok, enough about me. We're here for the show, not me. On with the show! *grabs ice cream*
Oh, and in this bit about the ChitChat, the couches are for more serious topics, and the sleeping bags are for more light hearted topics. The CT/Scrapbooks have both.

Chapter Nine
Zelda Universe, the ChitChat, SearchOne

Leo walked into what had been probably the busiest place of ZU: The ChitChat, home of the CT, which was one of the main attractions.
There was nothing so special about the ChitChat. The only special thing was that there were so many couches or sleeping bags in circles. All the couches were different; there were old and new ones, ugly and nice ones, leather, fabric, la-z-boy, etc., and the sleeping bags the same way. That was the only odd thing. And then there was a huge circle of couches/sleeping bags right in the middle. People would cram themselves onto these couches or in the sleeping bags by anyway possible, even if it meant accidentally squishing or getting squished by someone. No one really cared. This was the way it was with all of the couch circles, and some got so ful that someone would have to crowd surf there way in or out, but this area was special. It was the CT. It wasn't meant to be so popular; it was meant to be a place to say hi or bye, or if something important had happened, etc, but that was the best part: You didn't need to make up something to talk about. They all mostly came from real life. In the middle of this couch/sleeping bag circle, was a coffee table, which held the ZU Scrapbooks, which all held photos of the ZUers, if they had a picture to provide. It was all really fun, unless some n00b came in and made everything really stupid. Then they were thrown out.
Leo noticed that the circles were broken and scarred for the most part broken and charred. There were bodies sprawled out across each other, sort of like a weird stack, that sort of was an accident, yet on purpose. The CT even had a few people in it. The Scrapbooks were just one big head of barely together ashes. Leo managed to pick them up. He wondered if he could see into them, if he could see at least one ZUer, but when he opened the first page, the disentigrated. Seeing as there was nothing more to do here, he went for the RPG.

Zelda Universe, RPG Areas, SearchTwo
January 2013

The RPG Areas had been an interesting place. There were two , but the first one, being Zelda based, was the most popular. Leo entered here. There probably wasn't going to be much in here.
Basically, there wasn't much anything of sheer importance in here. There were probably the most bodies in there he'd seen in anywhere else.
Of course! he thought. They probably hid in here since they doubted anyone would really target this area, so they figured it'd be like a bomb shelter! Too bad they're really close to the clans though. If they hadn't been, they may've had a chance.
With nothing more to really look into, Leo headed to the Award's Room.

Zelda Universe, The Award's Show Chamber, FinalSearch
January, 2013

The Award's Show Chamber was full of people by the time every season rolled around. Of course! Every season they have an award's show! This could be a big clue! Although he couldn't find out the exact date of the attack, but he could find out the season.
The Award's Show Chamber was filled with seats, the front ones were for the people who were nominated for an award. The stage was pretty big, and there was a huge monitor, and on part of it showed last season's award winners, and then when someone else won an award, the old name and award was erased, and the new name and award was put on. It was always a fun night.
Sometimes, the screen flickered to life, but he could never catch anything.
There were sveral burn holes on it.
He saw a downed and slightly burnt banner near the stage. It was a blueish green color with black lettering with a white outline. Leo picked it up. None of the good parts were burnt. It said 'ZU .ALL AWA..S 2010' on it.
"So" he said aloud. "The attack was sometime in the fall of '10. This helps us a bit."
He got onto the stage and decided to go backstage.
Since it was the middle of winter right now, and there was no more heat in the entire building, and there was some liquid spilliage, probably a leak somewhere, or there had been water dropped at the awards show, and no one had cleaned up yet, or for whatever reason, there was a layer of ice on the stage. Leo didn't notice. He stepped onto it. NOthing happened, so he crossed onto the invisible ice, where it made a cracking noise only loud enough for him to hear. He thought the stage was falling apart, so he ran to the backstage, which cause more cracks.
When he got back there, he noticed the ice, and laughed for a while, then went back.
He was looking for a room backstage where they planned out the next awards, which never came. The ZU 2010 Winter Awards. He was hoping for maybe a bit more of a clue as to when this attack came.
He entered the room, and found a few bodies, which were a little less then he had found of bodies in the main awards area. There were a few papers scattered across, with a few plans. They were somewhat underway, so he guessed that these were probably late fall.
"So, the attacks occured sometime in the late fall. Probably November or really late October or early December."
That would mean that there was at the very least one holiday that never got celebrated again at ZU: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
With this new information, he headed for the stairs.

Zelda Universe, Grand Staircase
January 2013

When Leo met up with Spiff, HAB, and DD on the steps, he was bursting with news, and it seemed that HAB had some news too.
He was about to share, when Spiff handed him a bow, a quiver full of arrows, and a staff, probably magical. If only he knew how to use it.
And then, just as they were about to share information, DD said "Hey, where's GD?"
Then, from one of the rooms, came a loud scuffle and what sounded kind of like a tearing sound came to them.
"Something's up." said Spiff. "Let's go."


.................
So, how now? How now brown cow? Speaking of brown cow...... *goes for more food.*

This story is turning out very good. Your a great writer.

Thank you! ^_^ man, I'm having a pretty good day! *gives out free gum to all*

Chapter Ten
Zelda Universe, Websites Area, SearchOne
2013

DD entered the room dedicated to the Internet: the Websites/Advertising area.
This room lined, wall to wall, and a bunch in the center of the room, with, what else?, computers, printers, and all things computer related.
By the door was a large desk, filled with tons of fun personality tests. Once they had been completed, they would be put into a machine, which, in a matter of seconds, would analize the test and then give you your results. This machine had been used frequently.
There was also a room in the back, which was very large, which was filled with tons of different doors. Now, they were all locked, probably by a ZUer who didn't want these people to get to the other places, but back then, they weree the doors to other places like ZU. A lot of these places were run, owned, and operated by a ZUer, andif they wanted, could place in an ad for some mods and other types of staff members. Some of these places never went anywhere, and would die, and the thing that led the ZUers to there was cleared out for someone else, and others actually struck it big, and they would become ZU's affiliate. But now they were all locked, so either the owners were dead, and those areas were run by one of their staff members, or had tanked, or they had all been locked when something went wrong.
Many of the computers were on the ground, broken, and some sparked, while a few of the others on the table were still on where they had been whenever this had happened.
The machine was also ruined. There was severe burn marks and some ice damage.
Hmm.....Maybe they had been after this machine? It was a technological wonder.... DD thought. A few of ZU's rivals had been after the patent to that machine, as well as some of ZU's other wonderous inventions. Could this be a motive? He'd have to investigate a bit more.

Zelda Universe, The Clans
2013

DD remembered the clans. All three were very powerful. They were Din, Nayru, and Farore. They were the Mafia of ZU. Oh, they never did anything illegal. It was sort of a fun little competition. Ever since they had been founded, they had always feuded, wanted to be #1. The clanners of each different clan got along great, for the most part. No bad blood. The only thing was, they always tried to outdo each other at everything. This all went down in the Clan Arena, or somewhere at ZU. There was a neutral area for the Clans, the Temple of Light and Dark, where there was clan disscusion. Once a new member came of age, they could take a test, and whatever the result was, they were given a key to one of the clans, and were given an invisible mark, so that if an outsider found a key, they had to have the right mark to get in. Red keys for Din, blue keys for Nayru, and green for Farore.
DD and GD had been a member of Din, HAB had been in Nayru, Leo had been in Farore, and they hadn't been too sure of Spiff, but they believed he was in Farore.
DD took out his red key. He had always carried around with him. He put it in Din's key hole, turned it, and the door opened.
Inside it, there werre just a bunch of dead Din people. Some DD recognized, and some he didn't. He guessed that this was the same thing for Nayru and Farore, but he couldn't get in. The locks still worked.So, it seemed that these attackers had been members of ZU at some point, all being with a clan at one point.
The thought sickened him. Whoever had done this to them had been lurking undetected among them. With nothing left to do, he left.

Zelda Universe, Grand Staircase
2013

DD headed down the stairs. He saw HAB, Spiff, and Leo coming there. When he got to them, he was bursting with information. For some reason, Spiff handed him two kantanas and a double edged sword/boomarang. DD just decided to take them, and not ask any questions.
They shared information, and then DD realized that GD was missing.
"Say, where's GD?" he asked. None of the other's knew.
Then, they heard from the FanFic/FanArt area, a loud tearing noise, a scuffling noise, and then a loud thud.
"Something's wrong." said DD. "Let's go."


Huh?Huh?
Oh, and thanks Leo! ^_^

GD's the excess Din, so she must have been murdered and is now part of the evil undead army of the dark/gamespot side of anakin-!!!!


Yeah, I've been making up storyline as I go along, because it's too... suspensive...

WHERE'S GD!?!?!

Ah yes, where is GD? She's about to star in her own personal chapter, and no where to be seen....Must be making more popcorn.
Oh well. *sits on couch* ROLL IT!!!

Chapter Eleven
Zelda Universe, Sig Mall
2013

GD walked down the empty, dusty, dirty, debris filled, yet silent cobblestone road that was part of the Sig Mall.
The Sig Mall was divided into two areas: A more mall like atmosphere, for the most popular signature artists, who got their own huge store, and then there was a smaller, open market, villiage like place for artists just startign out, or who weren't that good, or who were good, and had been around, but just wasn't that popular.
GD started down the shoppee part of the Sig Mall first, hence the cobblestone.
The street was cover in glass, bricks, wood, a few bodies, and a few bits and pieces of sigs and avas. She looked inside of the shops, which didn't show much of anything. Since the buildings had been built in an older style, they would be easier to destroy. Prehaps it had only taken one bomb to destroy that whole villiage like area?
She walked up to the part of it which was like a Community board, where shops, big or small, could post ads or sales or comings and closings. It was completely destroyed.
It only took one bomb to destroy it all, and it all started from the center. she thought. And she was right. The board had been in the center of the "villiage". She headed towards the mall area.

There had been two glass automatic doors by the mall. They had both been smashed up, as were all the other windows and doors on the exterior of the building. Oddly enough, when she aproached the doors, they slip opened, with a hiss, as though they were both still fully operational. Unharmed.
There were store all over the place. There were stores she recognized from her last time there, and some she recognized from the "villiage" when she'd been there last, and some she didn't recognize at all.
All their windows were broken. Bodies, debris, and sigs/avas lined the pathways. Areas of the top floor were crumbling, so she'd have to watch her way around.
The escalators(sp?) were still working, pushing around whatever had been on them. She walked towards them, and then remembered a place in the center of the mall where the makers of the sigs could come down there for ideas, and where buyers and sellers could come down and show off their newest creations.
As she suspected, it was blown apart, like the villiage square, and the storefronts of a few shope she'd seen around.
Hmm.....a pattern. Could this be a clue? she thought. She then went on to investigate the other areas.

Zelda Universe, The Zelda HQ/Theory Room
2013

GD remembered this room well. This room was were everyone came, because of one thing.
Zelda.
Zelda was the general backbone of ZU, hence the name Zelda Universe. Without her, there'd be no place named ZU, or any of the other places with Zelda spinoff names.
Unfortunantly, this room had been hit pretty bad.
There were bodies everywhere, and mostly all of the paper timelines that had been on the wall were shredded, occasionally being blown about by a cold winter breeze that had entered this merry place of death.
There had been a statue made by the clans during one of the Clan Wars, except in this Clan War, they had to work together to make 1/3 of a statue of Princess Zelda. They had done a marveleous job with it, the clans three. GD even remembered helping make Din's 1/3 of the statue very well. It had been very fun. The clans could use any materials they wanted, so it was also a scavenger hunt for supplies.
The statue now lay broken on the ground of her own timelines, theories, and fans. Each of the segments the clans had made were torn apart perfectly so that each of the clan's pieces were apart from each other, thus pointless.Could this be a message that the clans were weak without each other? she thought.Well, it's at least a clue. Whoever did this wanted to target Zelda in some way.
There were marks where there had been hooks, and burn marks. The Zelda statue was probably the main target of these bombs in this room.
But, it was obvious of one thing: Zelda and ZU hadn't gone down without a fight.

Zelda Universe, FanFic Library/FanArt Gallery
2013

GD walked down the long, once white corridor that was the FanArt Gallery, which lead to the FanFic Library. All the pictures having to do with Zelda had been burned in their frames, or slashed beyond recognition. The other, non Zelda art had been damaged, but if it was cleaned up and restored, some of it could be resellable for an actual value.
Most of the corridor was blackened by soot, and there were bodies ther too. A few of the lights still worked. The only other white stuff in the room besides the white patches and some of what was left of some white art, were webs. Cob webs to full out spider webs, they were all there. Except this stuff wasn't sticky like the first webbing they had encountered. This was a lot thinker, and not very sticky, like cloth, so it sort of gave off some kind of ripping noise.
She finally reached the end of the corridor, which lead into the library.
This library held one of the largest, most complete collection of original and previously published works. Novels, short stories, regular stories, poems, songs, they were all there. There had been large tables with comfy chairs to read them in, and there was also a coffee/cocoa/warm drink bar nearby, along with a small stage, where, at night, the writers could come in and read chapters and excerpts from their newer and/or classic works.
Now, that stage was ruined, along with the bamost of the tables/chairs, and many of the works.
There had been a large fireplace directly across from the doors that lead into this library, so the first thing one would see when coming in this place would be that fireplace.
Now, there were many heaps of ashes filling most of it, along with charred, half charred, to ok books, nearby it. Some of the works were ok. The selves were all broken, except for a few, which held knocked down books on them.
There were a few bodies in here, but there was one body that caught her eye.
It was sort of leaning against the wall. It was a guy, who was clothed in a lot of black. On his knees he had a book. It seemed to be in pretty good shape.I wonder what it says? she thought.
Sge walked over to the body, and tried to take the book. However, it had several webs on it, and they were the clothy kind. After much pulling and and struggling, the book suddenly came free. There was a very loud tearing noise from the webs. Her feet caught on the carpet, so she tripped, causing a loud scuffle, and then fell down with a loud thud, probably for the whole lot of them to hear.Good. Now they'll know where I am. she thought, embearassed/relieved.
The body then opened his eyes.

Chapter Twelve

GD was in shock. This was good, but also very creepy.
A survivor?! This is great! Or maybe one of the attackers... she thought to herself.
The guy stared at her for a bit, then moved his head around, creeking his neck and ripping apart some of the weaker webs. He then stood up, causing his knees to crack, and streched a bit, then stood still, all the time staring at GD.
He was very tall, with black hair. His eyes were brown, but one looked different from the other somehow. He was also wearing a black straight jacket.
"Hello." he said cooly. His voice was very quiet, something like a whisper. It was also very low and gravely.
Before she could say anything, she heard noises in the art corridor. They were running, and yelling at her.
The doors then burst open. Her comrades were there, all of which were holding weapons.
"GD, are you ok?" said DD.
"Yeah I'm fine." she said.
They then noticed the stranger.
"Get away from her!" they said.
The person sidewalked to the right, near the fireplace.
"Back off. I mean no harm." he said, somewhat offended, somewhat amused.
"Who are you?" said Spiff.
The person chuckled.
"Don't recognize me? I'm not suprised. I'm Sage of Ice."


........
HAHA! I get to make a cameo in my own story! Unfortunantly, this is a very short chapter, so the rest will come later.
