Location: Corrupted Temple of Light | South America. [HEADING=3]Post contains Temple details.[/HEADING]
Time: Night | January 1st.
The temple was a maze of passages, chambers and sorts of rooms. In the beginning days of the temple everything was spotless like clean glass. Now in the present everything is covered in dust, cobwebs or unknown darkness material. Luckily deeper in the temple, eventually most passages reach the very last large chamber in the temple which contained a large and deep slope running down for a while mile down. On this slope and even in the rooms before it the traps had been activated by the dark passenger who returned long before the heroes.
The traps consisted of your usual past man made traps from spike pits to flamethrowers, the worst part about the traps were deeper inside the temple near the chamber containing the slope. The advanced traps were made of unnatural materials which were not crafted by man's hand. It was angelic metal and materials, these consisted of traps like buzz saws, lasers, turrets and even robotic guardians.
Even though the traps were a hard defense they have not kept out the natural life in the temple, but thanks to the corruption the insects and animal life in the temple has become corrupt just like the forest. Except this life is closer to the core of the temple which leads to increased darkness and corruption.
The temple was big but the catacombs below it were even more humongous.
It contained crypts, coffins, burial locations. Even the bodies of angels were laid to rest here, so no one knew was lurked beneath the temple.
The history of the temple was rather simple.
When man was in it's early years the angels decided to build the temple to look over the humans and guide them.
The tribes of man came out of curiosity and were welcome with open arms by the angels.
The angels taught the human ambassadors/head of the tribes knowledge about their world and what it would become.
Eventually most of the humans had received the blessing from the temple and even took up the angel's religion too.
Humans came to the temple to pray and receive aid.
Though some humans wanted more.
An order of humans and the head of an angel guided a black hand upon the temple.
The order wanted to corrupt everyone and use the angel's power to conquer the world.
The angelic head of the order was pleased with this since he gained more power and slaves himself.
Soon after the group was found by the angels and all hell broke loose.
Groups and angels were killed and soon the temple was covered in blood.
Luckily enough the archangels came and swiftly put an end to the betrayers, sending the order and the now fallen angel to their own version of hell.
The Archangels reverted the tribes to their past ways and said that humans would not be allowed to gain their knowledge.
This made the temple empty, no one dared to enter.
The tribes still worshipped it for an unknown reason.
Years ago the temple was disturbed, not by the tribe or the angels.
But by a boy.
Tomoya
Foolishly he ventured into the Temple of Light and climbed to the highest point to retrieve the stone of light.
The stone was forged by the Archangel which allowed the temple to be made and to be abandoned.
The stone turned the boy into one of their own.
That is how Tomoya became the Archangel of Lightning.
Riki, Kud & the David West, Slindis, Kalastryn group.
Location: Corrupted Forest/Jungle | Corrupted Temple of Light | South America.
Time: Night | January 1st.
Weather: Dark clouds.
The silence surrounding the couple was broken as Tajuh yelled.
"Teammates of the Rising Dawn... MOVE OUT!"
The boy Riki looked at his lover. Kud still gripped his sleeve tighter.
"Are you sure you want to come Kud?" He gently asked her. The young girl snapped a bit out of her scared state to only worry about Riki.
"No... NO... let me come with you!" She raised her voice a bit. Riki smiled at her and stroked her hair which calmed her down a little.
"Now lets take it slow... " Riki said as he pulled Kud up and the two walked to the temple hallway behind the group with David and Slindis in it. Before leaving the hall Riki could feel a little bit dizzy and several flashes of light blinked in front of him.
("No... it can't be... narcolepsy... I cured myself!") His mind screamed out, but Riki managed to still guide his younger lover.
The two were fazed out of reality until they saw David being knocked out cold.
"Ahh, what happened to David-san?" Kud said.
Dark Tomoya.
Location: Mexico.
Time: Early Evening | January 1st.
Weather: Cloudy.
The crisp air of January swept through Mexico like a scream. This may be because Dark Tomoya ran through many houses and market places with a truck. The truck was actually heading south below Mexico, to South America. The only reason why he travelled so fast was due to the lightning power's influence on his vehicle's engines. Soon enough Dark Tomoya arrived at an airport, the truck's grill was covered in red gooey blood and chicken feathers. Everyone gazed at him as he walked into the airport.
"Ignore the mess... someone bloody put a lot of chickens in my way." He said in a threatening way.
Soon after that he walked into the main building and looked around for the main desk.
