Haha, thanks for offering, but i can manage on my own =3
Anyway, scroll down, people, i've got a treat for you!
[Chapter 1 - Before disaster]
The dark aura swirled in the skies above, as it slowly disintegrated. The work of Poseidon's Blessing. That was exactly what happened one year ago.
A mysterious figure sat in a dark room, with monitor screens all around him. The biggest monitor screen showed the reenactment of the final battle. Several smaller monitors showed various scenes of the individual characters.
The person left the current room, and went in the opposite room. There were many prison cells in there, with a capsule beside each cell. But they were all empty, except for one cell. The prisoner's hands were chained up above her head. She was unconcious, or maybe asleep, but definitely alive. The mysterious person walked up to her, grabbed her hair, and lifted her head. Chio!
"It hurts...." Chio thought, as she slowly came to. She opened her eyes, with her vision blurred at first. Her eyes started to focus after a while. It shows how long she had been out for. Probably several days.
The person stuck several probes on her forehead, then returned back to the other room. All the images on the monitor screens changed to Chio's. Her lifestyle, her battle style, everything. Everything was being recorded down, and extracted. The person snapped his fingers, and one extra person appeared, kneeling down behind him.
The capsule beside Chio's cell started up. The second person entered the capsule, then the capsule started filling with green liquid. The data extracted were transfered to the capsule, and the lights at the top started blinking rapidly. There were a lot of bubbles in the liquid, until finally, the person inside couldn't be seen.
Finally, when the bubbles cleared, the person inside looked exactly liike Chio! This caught Chio's attention, but she felt too weak to speak. The other guy entered the room, and gave the imposter several instructions.
Chio struggled, and managed to say a few words. "Who... Are... you...?"
The man turned to Chio and replied. "I'm surprised you are still able to speak. Normally, no one would be able to speak for weeks. But for you, it seems to be a different story."
"Who... Are... you...?" Chio asked again.
"Me? I'm just someone who wants everything. Especially the world. My name is Yomi."
"What's... going... on...?"
"Nothing much actually. I am going to take over the world. But first, I'm going to remove you and your friends from the face of the earth. I don't want anyone to get in my way, just like what had happened to Karan. My plan now to to destroy what you have once protected, and then work from there, to be the god of the new world! And I have people who share the same interest as me."
"Take her for example," Yomi continued. "She shares my view for the new world, and is willing to sacrifice everything to realise our dream. And now, she looks exactly like you. Acts exactly like you. Everything is now similar. And this is step one of the entire plan. And I will call her... Alpha! Though, I wonder why i bothered telling you all these. You probably don't have much longer to live."
With that, Yomi and Alpha left the room, leaving Chio all alone in her cell. Chio slowly recalled a little about what had happened. But everything was blurrly. She remembered that a stranger bumping into her. The man stared at her with cold eyes, that froze her for a second. Then the man stretched out his arms, and she felt a force from behind sucking her in. The next thing she knew, she was chained in the cell, after being unconcious for several days.
Megalopolis. Still as lively as usual. And it's where our heroes hang out. Aurora exited from the Monster Guild, and started towards the Skill Garden. She went around the corner, then she shouted out to someone.
"Chio! Where have you been the past few days?"

Evil Clones! :O! Wait! Watch out Aurora! :<!
Can't wait for the next chapter. Your stories are always interesting. :D
Hey hey ^_^
I will be going overseas for a week, so... Here's a treat!!! 2 chapters back to back, woo!
Enjoy!!!
[Chapter 2 - Swallowed ]
Alpha walked towards Aurora, keeping eye contact at all times.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Aurora asked. "Is there something on my face? Does my clothes not match?"
"Nothing," Alpha replied. " By the way, follow me. I found something interesting near Ceremonia."
"You sound a little different. Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm fine," Alpha said, as she led Aurora away.
"Close your eyes," Alpha said, when they reached the entrance of Ceremonia.
Aurora closed her eyes, and waited patiently. Alpha walked around Aurora, and took out a small rod from her pocket. By pressing a small button at the side, high voltage electricity starting flowing through it. The electricity was purple in colour, mixed together with poison. She lifted it up, and swung it down at Aurora. Suddenly, Alpha stopped. A force shield around Aurora. A Lightning Shield!
Aurora turned around, and quickly placed her palm on Alpha's stomach. "ElectroAttack!"
A ball of electricity came out of Aurora, and electrified Alpha, blowing her away. Her rod flew a different direction. Aurora walked towards Alpha. "What are you doing... Chio...? No... Who are you...?"
Alpha slowly got up, shaking off the excess electricity flowing through her body. "Electricity... A fourth element...?"
"I wasn't easy. But training paid off. Now, answer me. Who are you?"
"Me? I'm Chio, of-"
"No you aren't!" Aurora shouted, as she prepared another ElectroAttack in her hand. "Now, speak the truth."
"Fine..." Alpha replied. She drew her swords, two swords. A Afrit Sword in her right hand, and a Mars Sword in her left. "If you won't come quietly, i will have to take you by force!"
Alpha charged towards Aurora. Both swords becam engulfed in flames, indicating a strong fire elemental attribute infused within. Aurora casted several ElectroAttack, but was easily deflected by the flames. Alpha attacked very quickly, and it slowly took its toll on Aurora. Even her Fire Shield couldn't protect her from all the flames. Aurora managed to damage Alpha a little, with her Salamander's Blessing.
After receiving damage from the Blessing skill, Alpha jumped back. Before she landed, Aurora casted a Deadly Fen on the ground. Alpha landed in the Deadly Fen, and her movement was restricted straight away.
Aurora casted several Mana Arrows. They attacked Alpha's hands, and knocked her swords out of her hands. Alpha now will not be able to deflect any spells. Immediately, Aurora casted a WhirlWind Blaze around Alpha, and a Mana Storm, to contain the flames.
After thirty seconds, the skill slowly stopped. Aurora let off a sigh of relief.
Bakaeep then emerged from the monster guild. "What's all that noise...? Aurora?"
Aurora turned to Bakaeep, signalling to her that everything was fine.
The flames died down. But... Nothing was there. Suddenly, Aurora couldn't move! Her arms and legs didn't obey her. She struggled to move, but was unsuccesful. Bakaeep started rushing to her. Then from behind Aurora, a black shadow started spreading across the ground. It slowly started swallowing Aurora inside.
The black shadow came out of the ground, and covered Aurora. Aurora still had her hand outside, but was also sinking in. Bakaeep reached Aurora and tried to pull her up. As a result, Bakaeep was also pulled into the shadow. The shadow then closed up, and disappeared.
Just as the shadow disappeared, Liange exited the Monster Guild. "Bakaeep! Where did you go?"
She walked around, and something caught her eyes. A pink earring. "This is... Bakaeep's..."

[Chapter 3 - Beta]
Bakaeep came to several hours later. She found herself lying on a beach, in an area she has never been before. There was a forest around a kilometre in front of her. After resting for a while, she got up and headed towards the forest to explore the area.
The forest was very thick. Not much sunlight entered. There were also many monsters around. They were the same few monsters that are all over Caballa, just stronger. But those monsters didn't pose a threat to her. She continued going deeper. The deeper she went, the stronger the monsters got. Fending off the stronger monsters tire her out quickly.
The area was so large that even after five hours, there wasn't any signs for a clearing at all. Unable to go on due to fatigue, Bakaeep camped in a cave she found near a cliff. The next two days, she just wandered around the forest.
"Aurora...! Aurora...! Can you hear me...?"
"This voice..." Aurora thought. "Who...."
Aurora's eyes slowly opened. Everything was blur.
"Bars...? A... Cell...?" She thought. "Who's that... Across the... Room...?"
"Aurora...!"
"Chio...?"
"Wake up...!"
Aurora's eyes began to focus. Indeed. It was Chio in the opposite cell, calling out to her. Chio still felt weak. She hadn't recovered from what had happened to her. Aurora was also feeling weak, and was unable to stand.
"What's going on...? Where is this...?"
"I don't know.... But someone is trying to take over the world, and he's trying to destroy us first."
"I knew... That wasn't you..." Aurora said, as she lost conciousness again.
Back at the monster guild, everyone was getting worried.
"Where have the three of them went...?" Tykro said. "Three days, and no contact..."
"Let's go out and find them,"Liange said, as she opened the main door of the Monster guild.
"Where are you going to start? Caballa is a huge place. For all you know, they might not be in Caballa anymore."
"Darn it..." Liange thought.
At this moment of time, Soul and Rwinna were in the Tapasco Mines, excavating the precious gemstones, to use and to sell. From out of nowhere, the ground started shaking. Fire bats flew in to the mining lots. They were in disarray.
"Something's coming. Hide." Rwinna said.
Both Rwinna and Soul used Hide, and stayed behind a big rock. Then they heard two voices coming from the entrance. Chio and Aurora? Rwinna and Soul was about to disengage their Hide and greet them, when that started talking.
"Beta, how are the skills?"
"Working fine. I like the Cleaving Terra i just used," Beta replied. "By the way, Alpha, who are our targets this time?"
"Two Thief Masters. Called... Erm... Rwinna and Soul. They should be around here somewhere. Keep a lookout for them."
"Alpha and Beta...?" Rwinna thought, as she turned towards Soul, confused.
Two chapters in one? :O! We must be lucky! ....

>.> It's been a loooong time since I visited the forums and I can't believe you started your very own story based on TO, very nice. (Not to mention the length of it all) I didn't bother reading since it was so long but yeah, nice work. (If only you update your blog as often) Maybe you'll be able to publish a book based on this (who knows?) and maybe I can help with the illustrations =3. ~ ~ I was just thinking perhaps you went to the wrong course for school and you should've gone to some author-to-be course or something (If there ever were such a thing). But still, nice work.
Oh yeah, perhaps add a few roles for my characters too? I don't mind being one of the bad guys >=D.

Oh yes, i know who you are, lol. I didn't think you even visited the forums though. When i get the time, i can add you in too. It would be easier to read, if you had followed it chapter by chapter. Wrong course...? Maybe. If there was a writing course, seriously, i might actually consider that. Oh well...
@riruki: Sure, i can add you in too as well.
