Once Upon a Time, Part 1

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(Ohhh. Whoops…)

[Dawn]

As soon as those words left Peter’s mouth…

Josiah, Mason, Dawn and “Manalive Smith” all fell into a dead faint.

Brooke and Peter looked at each other in confusion. Then Brooke clapped her hand and explained, “OH! I put dissembling spells and memory scrambling spells on your teammates! Their memories are returning!”

*Josiah spiraled around, seeing flashbacks and reconnecting the dots. He saw Mason, many years ago…

“As the new President of TOPHAT, the Tenacious Objective Prominent Association of Timelords, I appoint you to guard Kristen in a pocket world, known as Hyrule. She is bound in the Power Bracelet, where certain people may use her Timelord powers to gain momentary strength and to warp between portals.” Josiah held out the Power Bracelet to Mason; Mason nodded solemnly, took the powerful bracelet and tucked it in a pocket.*

*Mason saw stars. Thousands of dim lights danced in front of him. Slowly, feeling returned and he saw the remains of a boulder surrounding him. His body felt shattered, and Mason gasped with pain. He glanced up and…
Saw Brooke, the bright new member of TOPHAT and one of those sanctioned to use the Power Bracelet, undoing the spells that held the Eldest hostage. “Brooke, what are you doing!?” Mason cried out.
Brooke faced Mason. “I’m setting my friend free,” she responded. Her face clouded over. “She told me everything. How she just wanted to find love. And how you prevented her. How you bound her without trial. How…how DARE YOU!” She turned back to her task angrily.
Though his body screamed with pain, Mason struggled to at least sit upright. Through his gritted teeth he gasped, “Don’t listen to her! Don’t you realize—”
Then the world crashed and Kristen emerged. “MASON. YOU TRAITOR! YOU HELPED BIND YOUR ELDEST! I WILL BIND YOU AS TOPHAT BOUND ME. ” She pointed a condemning finger at him “RHADOPHOBIA!”
Mason suddenly felt his Time Lord power drain away. Without it, he couldn’t retain consciousness, and slide away…
And darkness. deep darkness…*

*Dawn glowed a bright yellow. Her student, Brooke, exceeded all expectation. A prodigy! Brooke finished her training in record time, and became a trusted member of TOPHAT. Brooke was coming back today, and having some lovely hot chocolate with oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Today was a beautiful day.
A flock of birds took off in the distance. The protections around Dawn’s home twinged as Brooke entered the perimeter. Dawn beamed (literally).
As Brooke approached, her face looked troubled. Dawn’s bright light dimmed to indigo. “Is everything alright? What happened?” Dawn inquired.
Brooke’s face crumpled. “Why did you bind her?”
Dawn shone a bright white. “Bind whom?”
Brooke studied Dawn. “Bind the Eldest.”
Dawn turned a bright purple. “We don’t have an Eldest. We have a President.”
Turning away, Brooke heaved a heavy sigh. “She’s right.”
Dawn’s light shone brighter. “Brooke…are you okay?”
“NO. RHADOPHOBIA.” Brooke cried.
Bright white flooded the room. Winded, Dawn fell to her knees. Emptiness swallowed her. She gasped, “You…you…”
“Yes. I studied with Kristen while she was in the Power Bracelet. I can’t believe you would lock her away like that!”
Kristen appeared, with two jars in hand. “Aww…Dawn, you should have learned more about a Time Lord’s essence…Now it’s been drained away into this pale orange jar. The only power you have left is transparency,” smirked Kristen, “You won’t be able to betray any one else with your emotions on display for all to see.”
Glowing a deep angry red, Dawn pulled herself up. “Who else do you have??”
“Hush, dearie. This isn’t the time for a long monologue. I’ll be scrambling your memory now, considering that your measly protections were linked…hmm..to your essence? Oh my that’s awkward; it’s gone now isn’t it?”
Dawn stood up and slapped Kristen. Startled, Kristen put a hand to her cheek.
“TOPHAT will stop you!” roared Dawn.
Kristen gave an evil smile. “They don’t know I’m gone.” *

*Sam, who liked to go by “Manalive Smith,” was running a little late. All the other TOPHAT members should be there, save Mason of course. He approached the clear glass doors, and…SHE appeared within the meeting room.
Kristen glared at the TOPHAT committee. “What is this treason? What have you done to the Inner Circle?”
Manalive slid cautiously out of sight. He caught a glimpse of Brooke as she rushed to Kristen’s side. She whispered something in Kristen’s ear. He dashed over to a window to see what was happening.
Kristen pulled out two jars, and cast a spell that shook the room to the foundations. Sam fell to his side and sat up, stunned.“Man alive! That was powerful!” Sam gasped.
Suddenly, Kristen appeared next to him. “You…weren’t in there. They no longer remember you. I banish you to Hyrule. But, Time Lord essence always comes in handy and isn’t easily found…”
Sam screamed as his power left him…and then darkness…*

(This was a fascinating development, but it is a bit tricky to follow how much of it is progression in the story arc and how much of it is flashback. At first glance [or “Glanz” if you will], this section seems to be 90% flashback.)

[Dawn]

(Literally all flashback except for the first two sentences. But a flashback for a different character. Also, I need to officially retire from writing on this thread because all the time is gone now)

[Poulet Frit]

(How dare mason get in the way of my true love!! Though, I feel like I’m blinded by “love” or only using that word to justify my actions or as a cover)

[Dawn]

(True…so is Kristen the real villain? Or did someone manage to become powerful enough to manipulate emotions of the Eldest?)

[Dawn]

(True…so is Kristen the real villain? Or did someone manage to become powerful enough to manipulate emotions of the Eldest?)

[Poulet Frit]

(I could be easily persuaded with chocolate)

[Masøn M.]

(So basically my entire life in the cave was a lie… Mind = Blown… Also, I already know that the reason I prevented your love, Kristen, was because I’m a total third wheel…)

[Masøn M.]

(Wait, no… Regenerative properties… So, I’m thinking since I was basically the only one who is clueless about everything that’s been happening… Perhaps I regenerated at some point, but lost the majority of my memories… They became legends in my head… Idk, I’m just trying to make it all work together, and there’s always a way you can…)

[Masøn M.]

(OH MY GOSH I JUST GOT IT… Teh power bracelet is what they stole from me in the cave… I never did have an idea of what ‘they’ took, just that it may be important later… Wven if that wasn’t your intention, Dawn, that’s how I’m think through this… Sorry for all the parenthesis posts… It legitimately helps me to think out loud…)

[Poulet Frit]

(Mind…blown. dang! And you would never be a third wheel, mason. Well…maybe. who is my “true love”?? Is he eviler than me?? Is he the real bad guy?? GUYS I NEED ANSWERS)

[Masøn M.]

(Then make the answers! That’s the whole fun of this tread!)

[Poulet Frit]

(I cant write my own love story. I would ruin it)

[Masøn M.]

(**thread… And trust me, you don’t want me writing any love story… However my sister has written romance novel, buy it here!
https://www.amazon.com/Other-Half-Jordyn-McGuire/dp/1496083563/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504019774&sr=8-1&keywords=Jordyn+McGuire

I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist…)

[Poulet Frit]

(HOLY COW THAT’S AMAZING!!!! Nobody wants me writing a love story either. It’ll end in bloodshed and death and have nothing to do with love. Best to let someone else handle it because I like to describe gore in a lot of detail)

[Masøn M.]

(Well, it would actually makes sense in the context of the story… Whether it’s his bloodshed or someone standing in your way… Considering your character, it would be fitting…)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(That was excellent, Dawn. I think Kristen is the main villain. This far into the story, I don’t think we want to pull a Twilight Princess and have one main villain (Zant) until the very end, where he just turns out to be a wimp serving Ganondorf.)

[Poulet Frit]

(I don’t think I should write dark gore on this website.)

[Masøn M.]

(You can make it… Less graphic… You can incinerate him or something… You are basically a wizard…)

[Poulet Frit]

(That’s true. But…who? I have issue picking a who without it coming across super wrong)

[Masøn M.]

(It’s why I haven’t tried to write him in… It’s just less weird if you do XD)

[Poulet Frit]

(It’s not less weird if I do!!)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(Yeah, it would be preferable if you avoided gore.)

[Poulet Frit]

(Ok, no gore)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(We don’t like annoying environmentalists that are also former Vice Presidents.)

>>>INTERLUDE

A hooded figure stood looking on Hyrule from the Great Plateau. The wind was a bit harsh this high from sea level.
He zipped his jacket.
Stretching, he turned to his comrade. “The view ain’t so bad from here. But there is no way no how you’re going to make me jump from this high up, Doc. You could have bridged us closer to the ground.”
His friend shook his head and rolled his eyes. “If you want to find errors in the calculations of being able to travel within the W dimension, you can.”
The hooded figure sighed. “You got me there,” he said annoyed.
In the far distance he could make out Hyrule Castle. Its spires stood out against the backdrop twilight and against the setting sun. If he and Doc headed there they probably could get some clues to where Kristen’s whereabouts. But first they had to get off the stupid plateau.
“Ugh. Why am I so compelled to this,” he mumbled to himself. “Like its my fault anyway.”
But yet the reasons why the Time Lords were scattered was him. But since that time, he has been traveling across dimensions to correct things. The scientist that accompanied him had spent quite a considerable effort in creating his own dimensional gate. With it, they have been traveling to different worlds. But the worse was the one with unicorn riding ninjas. That was… too weird. But it had to be done. What other place had unicorn hair weaved by ninjas blessed with holy water? Certainly not Terra. But he couldn’t forget the image of stepping in rainbow–
“I think I got it,” said the scientist. “We probably should wait for dawn to test it.”
“You mean use it and hope we don’t die?”
“Pretty much.”
“Alright,” heaved the hooded figure. He sat down by the campfire and pulled out his Nintendo Switch. But one last question lingered on his mind.

He couldn’t figure out how a simple ;P could cause so much trouble.
