Centennials: The Full Story
Volume 1: Chapter 4

Volume 1: Chapter 4

The Heroes awake to a new day in the Guild, and a booming voice beconing

Xen: The Guildmaster wants to see everyone

Gladian: The Guildmaster, this should be interesting

Indica: Well get up you lazy ass.

They head to the center of the Guild where the Guildmaster is speaking

Acantha: We have received news that the Mayor-General has been kidnapped, but we have been told not to look into this further, I don’t know why. In other news, Were installing a new wing in the guild and i have paid no expense in having it built as fast as possible. That’s all I have to say, good day.

Gladian, Indica, Viridian, Shiye, Auralie and Husk group back up together

Gladian: If the Mayor-General has been kidnapped why aren’t we looking into it

Indica: Uh if the Guildmaster doesn’t know why then it’s probably classified

Viridian: But it 100% has to do with them Night Mages, Cendial and that weird Church

Shiye: Dont forget Outer Heaven and the Cenntenials

Auralie: This may be the biggest conspiracy yet

Husk: UH HUH

Gladian: Yeah we must investigate this further

Shiye: So uh where do we start

Husk: Uh (pauses for a brief moment) Huh....

Indica: I think he’s beyond confused

Shiye: It might be due to his brain damage

(Cosma joins the group)

Cosma: So what’s the plan

Gladian: We need to investigate

Viridian: Well we only have one lead

Gladian: That stupid Church and Cendial and Zenial

Auralie: Zenial??

Indica: Cendial’s brother, I want to rip him into pieces!!

Cosma: Slow down Indica, damm

Viridian: That’s spunk

(Husk Stands there motionless)

Shiye: So, To the Church?

Gladian: We've kicked Cendial’s butt before but he’s probably with his Brother now

Indica: That means the seven of us alone won’t stop them

Viridian: But we do know Cendial’s attack patterns, that means Zenial is liable to cover his Brother’s weakness

Gladian: (ponders for a second) That’s actually a good point

Auralie: If we focus on hurting Cendial as much as possible, then Zenial will be liable to help his brother and we can overcome them.

Husk: UH HUH

Shiye: So to the Church?

Indica: We’re going to need someone else to go take on Cendial and Zenial

Gladian: Who did you have in mind…

Cosma: Hmm, So this Guy is a Shadow Inquisitor, so we’d likely need another Magic user

Shiye: Or, how about, we get another Elemental Sowrdsman

(Another Man joins the Huddle Circle)

Erhan: Hey, Hey, you need a Swordsman

Gladian: Erhan, isn't your armor still damaged?

Erhan: Oh no, its perfectly fine-

One of his Armor plates on his arm falls off

Erhan: I lied.

Indica: Man, how come Loren hasn’t fixed it yet

Erhan: He says it looks good on me, what can i say?

Auralie: Bro, I have no clue

Shiye: And what was your Elemental Sword?

Cosma: I believe it was the-

Erhan: (Sighs), The ASMR Sword

Everyone Else: (Hysterical laughing)

Erhan: My god, You people will not take my awesome Sword seriously

Cosma: Do the Shadow Inquistor’s Brains even work like Human brains?

Shiye: We won’t know till we try

Viridian: Wait, cant ASMR produce a Sedating effect on a target..

Erhan: Yes, it absolutely can.

Viridian: Alright we get some use after all

Gladian: I take that back Erhan you are a valuable member of this team

Erhan: Ok then...

Husk: UH HUUH

(Erhan bonks Husk on the back with the ASMR sword)

Husk: UUH FOOD, (Enters into Trance like state)

Indica: Incredibly Valuable member of the team

Erhan: And, I can get Thanna to join the group

Cosma: Oh yeah I was gonna ask her

Thanna: Ask me what

(Thanna was secretly in the group huddle the whole time)

Thanna: I was using my Green Light constructs to blend in

Husk: Wait how does that work?

Gladian: I think you bent green wavelengths to hide yourself, or something like that

Thanna: That’s the gist of it

Cosma: You can bend over wavelengths of light right?

Thanna: You know I can?

Erhan: The Power Team is assembled

Indica: Let’s go kick some ass

Gladian: And let’s surprise them

(Erhan and Thanna join your party as Guests)

(Begin District from the Midpoint of District 5)

(District 5 ends)

Auralie: I know you said, surprise them but like, this is the opposite direction of the Church

Gladian: Yeah but I figured I should go this way

Shiye: You're really testing our faith here man

Gladian: Just trust in the plan

Erhan: Some

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

(Begin District 6, stop at the Midpoint)

Cosma: I don’t know why like, The Military hasn’t mobilized on The Night Mages and thieves

Viridian: We're basically the military but also not really?

Auralie: But like why aren’t there more of us out in the field? Or like where the city Militia is?

Erhan: I imagine the militia is off looking for the Mayor

Gladian: I always wonder why we are the only Public guild in the city?

Thanna: Private Guilds are rich beyond belief and their Guildmaster’s don't actually care about helping People, just furthering their wealth.

Husk: eyaiaiaia

Erhan: Like the Jade Legion

Indica: Eww gross, anyway why did we stop

Gladian: Uh, to go into the Train station, we are going to take the rails to District 12 and circle back to the Church from the back

Erhan: That’s a smart play.

Gladian: See, trust in the plan

Husk: FOOD

Viridian: he must be back to his regular old self

(Get on board the Train and a dark shadow ellipses)

Viridian: Cosma and I will evacuate the civilians, and protect the crew, go fight that Mega Night Mage.

(Cosma and Viridan leave your party)

Indica: Let’s tango

(After it dies, Viridan and Cosma rejoin your party)

Erhan: Well done, so I assume, we are headed for District 12 now

Gladian: Cosma?

Cosma: You know it

Indica: I cant wait for revenge

Viridian: Revenge?

Indica: Nothing

(On the Train Ride there)

Erhan: So did you hear about The New Immortals incident that happened a while back

Viridian: Oh that, yeah The Century Corps fought them and most of The New Immortals died in the fight

Indica: Woah…hard core

Gladian: I imagine they were strong

Thanna: I also heard that the only surviving member is still out there

(The Train stops)

Indica: Well this is our stop

(District 12 begins, and carry on till midway through)

????: YOU FOOLS

Gladian: Cendial come out of hiding, we’d love you too

???: Cendial? Don’t associate me with that Miscreant, you cannot be involved.

Indica: Well well make ourselves

???: I don’t want to fight, but im asking that you leave.

Glaidan and Indica: Sorry you voice, but were going to get involved

???: Fine

(The end of District 12, get to the Church)

Shiye: We’re Here, Our obstacles should reveal themselves

(Scant Silence)

Indica: Huh, Nothing, Well lets go inside

(A collum of energy puours down from the church ceiling)

Gladian: Get Ready

(Two Mega Night Mages and A Mega Wind Mage is summoned)

Erhan: Lets go

(After the battle)

Indica: They aren’t home let’s proceed with caution

Viridian: If you’re airing on the side of caution i’m definitely listening

(Begin Hall of Fools, a disturbing Hall filled with severed heads)

(Midway Through)

Shiye: This barbaric behavior is definitely disturbing

Husk: (Licking the bottom of a severed head)

Thanna: My god, that is beyond disgusting

Husk: (Tilting the head so any remaining blood drips in his mouth)

Auralie: Unfortunately we have to live with it, as it’s irreversible.

Husk: (Pants and drools like a dog while slithering on the floor looking for more)

(When you reach Sien’s Head)

Gladian: What have they done to you, (Sheds a single tear)

Indica: We will make them pay

(Reach end of Hall of Fools)

Gladian: I see a room up ahead

(Indica runs into the room, it is full of bells and is painted white)

Indica; I've never seen a tone change so drastic in my life, and this was considering what happened after Gladion sh

Gladion: NO, DON'T BRING UP MY INCIDENTS FROM MY TEENAGE YEARS

Indica: Sorry but i cant resist

Thanna: This room seems almost familiar, I’ve seen it in a book called Illustrations of The Afterlife

Erhan: I remember that book too

Viridian: And this room definitely has a heavenly aura.

Cosma: I wouldn’t think some Shadow Inquisitors would have a room like that in their church

(Begin Bell Room 1)

(Midway Through Bell Room 1)

Gladian: This once seemingly Tranquil place is creeping me out, there are incomprehensible scribbles on the wall.

Thanna: I’m bending light to try to read them but they look like they were written in another language

Shiye: And it isnt my People’s native tongue

Cosma: Perhaps it is the language of Gods

Auralie: Maybe

Cosma: Eh, probably not

(End of Bell Room 1)

Cendial: (Turns around unexpectedly) Surprise Guests

Zenial: (Summoning Night Blade) You’ll feel right at home

Gladian: No be our guests

Indica: Because we've been expecting

Viridian: and awaiting

Indica and Viridian: Your Visit

(Battle against Cendial and Zenial and when Zenial is at 50% health)

Zenial: Brother, why are we losing

Cendial: I don't know

Gladian: We are winning!

Erhan: I told you my mighty sword would help

Zenial: Your infernal sword weakens me, but why

Erhan: I will never tell my secret

(When Cendial is at 0%)

Zenial: BROTHER GET UP AND FIGHT

Cendial: (Transferring his power to Zenial) I’m afraid i have been bested, RUN FAR FAR AWAY

Zenial: Curse you infernal Century Corps.

Shiye: We will best you

Zenial: Not Today

(Zenial runs away and the fight ends)

Indica: COWARD

(She turns towards Cendial)

Indica: Tell us what you know about the plan

Cendial: (Heavily panting) I’ll never…. Tell

Auralie: Bummer, Well…

(Indica smiles with intent)

Gladian: Indica….

(Indica glares at Cendial)

Indica: If you can not give information

(Pulls out her Ice Sword)

Indica: Then at least your death will give me satisfaction

(Stabs her sword through Cendial’s body, freezing his blood)

Cendial: (Ghoulish Screams of Anguish)

Gladian: Indica what are you doing?

Indica: I’m making him pay

Gladian: This isn’t the way

Indica; i’m not making Cendial pay

Cendial: (Look of fear as his blood freezes over)

(Indica cuts off his head and it goes flying)

Husk: (Catches head and drinks out of it like a soup bowl)

Auralie: What The Fuck Indica

SHiye: And Husk, just no.

Indica: Aww you snowflakes can’t handle decapitation

Shiye: But you enjoyed this

Indica: I did, I got Revenge

Auralie: I’m just worried that this bloodlust cannot be controlled

Husk: But Food

Indica: You know what (Relaxes her back muscles and takes a deep breath), I’ll calm down…

Thanna: Excellent

Viridian: Now, lets go explore more of the church.

(Begin Bell Room 2)

(Midway through Bell Room 2)

Indica: I wonder how does this all fit inside a church?

Thanna: It could be that the area inside has been greatly expanded while still remaining in this confine

Erhan: But that seems unlikely too me, as where would they find the means to do that?

Viridian: Erhan i saw a Multiverse Terminal in the train station, i just think that this city has some weird architecture

Gladian: I’ll admit it’s fascinating

(The End of Bell Room 2)

Auralie: There sure are a ton of doors here

Cosma: Honestly, it’s kind of weird

Gladian: Let’s open the door

(They end up entering Acantha’s office)

Acantha: Rude of you to barge into my office at this hour, can i help you?

Gladian: Guildmaster??

Acantha: (Points to name tag), Can i help you

Thanna: No mam, we’ll be on our way

Acantha: You were in the room with the bells

(Everyone has apparent shock)

Gladian: How do you know about the room with the bells?

Acantha: I was transported there one day after walking out of my office, and i ended up at the Church down town.

Indica: Interesting

Acantha: Anyway be on your way now

(They leave the office)

Erhan: Welp Goodnight

Thanna: See ya in the morning

(Erhan and Thanna leave your party)

Cosma: I don’t trust Acantha

Gladian: Whoah girl, lets go discuss this in a private area

Indica: Any discussions wont happen without me

Shiye: We’ll respect your privacy

(Shiye, Auralie, Viridian and Husk leave your party)

(Gladian, Cosm and Indica all go to Gladian’s bunk bed)

Gladian: Cosma what do you mean you don’t trust the Guildmaster?

Cosma: She said the Mayor was kidnapped, then told us not to go after him and dint give us a good reason.

Gladian: That’s very fishy

Indica: Not to mention we’re essentially a public service.

Gladian: Yeah

Cosma: And then knows where we were when we so happened to appear in her office, I don’t buy it

Indica: Possibly

Gladian: Yeah

Cosma: Anyway I'm leaving

Gladian: Wait why, I thought you wanted to talk about this

Cosma: I did, but Viridian wants to go stargazing again tonight

Gladian: But formulating a strategy…

Cosma: Bye

(Cosma leaves your party)

Indica: We can do strategy in the morning, peace..

(Indica leaves your party as Gladian goes up to the Top bunk when…)

???: Hey, is this bunk 45

Gladian: Yes this is Bunk 45, what’s your name

Atoll: Uh my name is Atoll

Gladian: Hey buddy, are you new

Atoll: I just joined today, I’m kind of lost

Gladian: (Thinking back to when he joined) How old are you?

Atoll: Uh, I think 10, but I have no clue, I never had a birthday…

Gladian: Oh, and why is that

Atoll: (begins crying) My parents died when i was young, and my Uncle sold me into Slavery after they died, and the slavemaster treated us like we were worthless

Gladian: (Gets flashbacks to when he was young) I’m so sorry this happened to you

Atoll: And the Slavemaster burned a Crest into my Chest

Gladian: Can I see the crest?

Atoll: (Takes off his armor revealing the Crest of the Porcupine blazed onto his chest)

Gladian (under his breath): Oh my god.

Atoll: And i ran away, and i came here

Gladian: Well….

Atoll: Anyway, Im tired, can you tell me a bed time story

Gladian: A bed time story, can I?

Atoll: Yes, can you?

Gladian: Uh ok

(He climbs down to the bottom bunk to where Atoll is)

Gladian: So once upon a time, there was a man

Atoll: Uh huh

Gladian: Who lived in a dark place, and the person who ran this dark place, was evil and cruel. Awful things happened to this man.

Atoll: He probably was beaten and mistreated and maybe he had a crest burnt into his chest

Gladian: But he also never gave up despite all the horrible things

Atoll: He didn't?

Gladian: Yes and he ran away, and joined the Century Corps and went on to do great things

Atoll: He did!

Gladian: Yes

Atoll: Ok, thank you, I'm going to bed

Gladian: You're welcome
