Forum:Shadowkeeper Apocalypse: Difference between revisions

Line 355:

After much sacrifice and determination, the Guardians succeeded in killing Kirito, Asuna, and the Shadowkeepers, driving the Shadow Army and Ghosts of Nagasaki away, saving Mal, and destroying the Darkness for good. Despite this momentous victory, various figures of the Shadow Army, including Kirito and Asuna's eldest son [[Forum:Tatsuyi Kirigaya, Vibebreaker of Shadows|Tatsuyi Kirigaya]], would resurrect the Shadowkeepers and his parents as [[Nightmares]] and attempt to carry on the Shadowkeeper Apocalypse, either for their own purposes or to finish what the Shadow Army elites and the Darkness had started in destroying the Guardians. Despite these new foes, the Guardians maintained their strength and determination, while also contending with major threats besides the Shadow Army and Ghosts of Nagasaki.

==Prelude==

===Birth of Fusion===

{{Quote|It seems that we're not the only Guardians chosen by the Traveler. Even before it arrived, there were others like us... those chosen to wield these dark powers.|[[Eris Morn]], explaining the creation of Fusion to the Guardian.}}

Long before the [[Traveler]] came, there were numerous [[Guardian]]s who were blessed with dark forms of magic that would later become a part of this new power, and among those Guardians were [[Forum:Hendrick Yor|Hendrick Yor]], [[Forum:Kaguya Narusaka|Kaguya Narusaka]], [[Forum:Aoi Narusaka|Aoi Narusaka]], and [[Forum:Yukito Narusaka|Yukito Narusaka]], [[Warlock]]s who were capable of mastering these forms and using them for purposes that benefited [[Humanity]]. Recruited by a lone [[Hunter]] named [[Forum:Lila Bray|Lila Bray]] and a [[Titan (class)|Titan]] named [[Forum:Darius Watanabe|Darius Watanabe]], they would harness this power and combine the Light with Darkness in order to create a strong sense of prosperity, peace, and unity between Humanity and numerous non-human forces. On December 31st, 1999, Kaguya gave birth to a girl named Mal, whom she and Hendrick knew would someday carry on their legacy and use this power to help bring an end to the coming war. Moments after her birth, while Lila and Darius and these Fusion-empowered Guardians were praised and commemorated by most of the Lightless civilians, some of the people, however, grew worried that their discovery would jeopardize the balance between Light and Dark or, even worse, enthrall everyone into abandoning their long-held traditions, creating a chaotic society fueled by anarchy and dark ambition in the process.

===Dark Descent===

===The Swordsman's Arrival===

{{Quote|The Dragon’s Eye has awakened. It is on a little world. A human world. They would only wield its power… But our allies know its workings as they never will. They are ready to lead. And our forces will follow. The world will be theirs. The universe yours. And the humans, what can they do but burn?|An unnamed Taken commander, speaking to the Darkness about Kirito and Asuna.}}

Some time after the Guardians' victory of the Dimensional Wars and the events of [[The Witch Queen]], the [[Darkness]], having found a still-open portal, sent the [[Pyramids]] into the dimensional gateway to recruit its new allies: Kirito and Asuna. Having known firsthand about how they had seen what it saw and mourned for the deaths of their friends and of innocence, the Darkness not only gave them back their powers from Sword Art Online, but also granted them permanent access to its Pyramids, knowing that they can succeed where its previous forces failed.
