(1 month after the events of ANW, all remaining players have been informed by Shrek and Saitonia of the elevator to the earths core and what will happen when they enter. Today is the day where all players will be departing from the city and heading down. All players are currently at the location of the elevator, waiting for Shrek to give the order) MlonirSchrpang: *looking at the city from in the distance*. “Can’t believe we are leaving” Hammerfist1245: “we’ll be back, I don’t doubt our capabilities” Mister mustard: *messing with his hammer*. “Hm....where’s Shrek?” Ben10Howard: “he had to get something from back in the city” Cell-3: *static voice*. “My voice is acting strange” Hammerfist1245: “been messing with robot girls cell? I don’t judge” Cell-3: “uh.....” Ben10Howard: “yep, he’s guilty ha!” Cell-3: “I found an interesting robot girl back in the lab of the Grand Cathedral....thought I’d take it for myself” Hammerfist1245: “what’s her name?” Cell-3: “doesn’t matter.” (Shrek finally arrives and takes a step up above the elevator so everyone can see him. Shrek has replaced his previously lost arm with a robot arm) Shrek: “is everyone ready? I hope we are all informed on where we are going” Girrafalope: “I’m sorry what? Where? Huh?” Shrek: “shut up Girrafalope you already know” Cell-3: “nice arm Shrek, being a robot is cool yeah?” Shrek: “it’s better than not having an arm” (Everyone is ready to depart into the elevator. Gear and supplies have been packed. The doors to the elevator open upon Saitonia pressing a button on the side of the door, everyone steps inside and the doors shut) NIL: *uncomfortable*. “Well this isn’t cramped at all” Mister mustard: “how many people do we have here?” Texas Jedi: *wiggling around*. “Like 19 or somewhere around there” (The elevator begins to manually descend by itself, the light in the elevator becomes dim the farther it descends) Pistol Pete: *concern*. “I knew this was a bad idea...” Shrek: “no one speak! I’m trying to listen” (Everyone is quiet, cries of the dead can be heard beyond the elevator walls....as the elevator comes to a stop, the noise is gone) Hammerfist1245: “where the hell did we end up?” Snowy: *arms crossed in seriousness*. “Somewhere worse than the realms of hell” Cell-3: “are the doors gonna open? We stopped moving” (The elevator disappears, the players have been transported to a strange place. The sky is grey with a black crescent moon in the sky, a desert region with a dull and boring look to it, the sand on the ground also has a grey tint to it) Shrek: “.....is this The Void sai?” Saitonia: “this isn’t how I remember it to be” Ben10Howard: “no sign of the elevator or anything nearby, are we trapped here?” Pistol Pete: “fúck man I should’ve stayed in bed with NIL” NIL: *embarrassed* “....” Hammerfist1245: “Ooo?!” Girrafalope: *messing with the sand*. “What was the reason we came here Shrek?” Shrek: “to uncover the mystery behind the lords of darkness and the hollows” Saitonia: *thinking to himself*. “....I wonder if I could find the 1st again.....he did send me out of here one time already” Cell-3: *looking around with his robot eye*. “My scanner isn’t picking up anything, where are we supposed to go?” Shrek: “let’s not panic just yet, let’s walk around and see if we can find anything that can help” (The group walks around the desert region in search of any clues that can help uncover a location of sorts) Mister mustard: *looking at the sky*. “Everything here seems dead....nothing moves. Even the cacti have no life to them” MlonirSchrpang: “guess this place lives up to its name eh?” Texas Jedi: “hm.....” Girrafalope: *pushes some sand around*. “I found a sign buried in the sand!” Cell-3: “pfff what luck” Shrek: “what does it say Girrafalope?” Girrafalope: “Hueco Mundo citadel.....5 miles north of here.” MlonirSchrpang: “a citadel eh? That should be interesting” Shrek: “we go north then, everyone make sure your guard is up, we don’t know what could be lurking in this place” Saitonia: “.....” Cell-3: *notices a shadow lurking nearby*. “....a shadow? First one I’ve seen....” Robo Owl: “Cell, don’t get distracted, we have to stay together” Cell-3: “right, sorry” (Part 1 over)
