-Stories- was posted on the PSU and I though you all might have fun with it. It is a group fan-fiction, the idea is that one person writes a small part of the story then someone else continues the story from where the last person left off.
Here is what was posted so far, author of each section is listed below their post:
the boy got up and looked out of his slum house doorway into the foggy morning streets of haven city, he stood looking in thought at the sky that was still blackened with the night. the dream had seemed so real, he felt as though he was there, looking through someone elses eyes.
The boy felt a rage in him he had never felt before.. He wanted revenge! Why had that man killed him, for no reason! Then it hit him! That mans face.. So familiar.. Could this be.. It had been the past after all, so it made sense that he'd be older now. But how!? How had he come to rule Haven!
The young boys curiosity grabed ahold of him, a lured him to the public library.. It was late.. the iron doors were closed.. HA! A window was left open! He grabed a nearby crate, pushed it over to the door, and hopped inside. It was dark, and cold, he went over to the librarian's desk and switches on a few lights.. He didnt want to draw attention. He stalked over to the History section... It was quite big.. He looked around for a title that might give suggest something.. There it was! "Leaders and How They Had Come To Be".. He fliped through its dusty pages, and found it at last!
He froze. whatever was written on there couldn't be true......no, he refused to believe it. there, on page 5230 was.......
was a picture of himself! But older and with the worst looking gotee he had ever seen. How could this be? Thought the boy. How could a library book show the future. He looked under his future picture and saw a pragraph that explained it all...
but wait a minute.......before he had time to read thte paragraph a bunch of numbers caught his eye....this wasn't todays date!!! it was 400 years into the future! how could this be?
(Its a history book it cant be from the future I should have said past sorry.) "Jak (no last name given) was the ruler of haven city in the times of the precursors. He was Mars son and therefore the second true ruler of the city. He fought hard for the city when the metal heads attacked but was the final remaining precursor alive (although reports have been issued that an egg may exist). Jak decided to appoint a seemingly good natured young man called Rudolf Praxis I as the leader but not king of the city. Baron Praxis ruled justly as did his son his son's son and his son's son's son. But as we all know Herbert Praxis has cast our city into a hell hole we cannot get out of. Jak appears to have forsaken us to this mad man and may never return... -Insert from official Krimson Gaurd wroting staff- Unfortunately after writing this erroneas excerpt out good friend was a guest at our firing range and could not finish his fictional desciption of the good Baron Praxis and the lovely Haven city. We leave this information here as an example of terrible work that none should follow. -end insert-"
Young Jak put the book down shakily. He began to ponder all this information and decided to...
*You guys went on talking about Jak, when he was looking for the guy who killed his past self*
Slowly, and carefully he walked over to the bookshelf, a touched it.. It felt quite real, he then went and took the book he was reading, and himself hard on the head.. That too felt quite real.
But, after all, it did make sense, why was it so hard to believe now.. Strange he thought.. Almost like reading about yourself. He flipped through some more pages the the very end of the book - the current ruler of Haven- King Theodes.. He looked at his strong, proud has, he wanted nothing more that to break it! As he read on, he learnt, that King Theodes came out of nowhere.. Suddenly he was on the Grand Council, then a year later he runs for ruler and gets it!
He heard the crunch of gravel! The door was being unlocked.. He quickly hid himself, right at the very end of that corridor, behind a large statue of Baron Rudolf Praxis. He gave a quick peak.. An Emareld Guard!! Good lord.. He kept absolutely still, he even held his breath, in case it was too loud. The guard put the book back into its place.. He looks around..Then he looked at the window. He said to himself "That slum maggot!" He switched the lights off, closed that open window and locked the door.
Well, it wasnt too bad, at least the librarian would greet him in the morning.. He had just started to get comfortable, when he was abrubtly woken up by Madam Fry, a kindly old lady, who now had a most anxious and worried look on her face.
(hey you never talked about that either) Madam Fry's voice wavered as she wispered into the young boys ear. "Jak, I just got word from torn that Theodes has ordered for your execution! We have no idea of the cause but we must get you out of here quickly. Torn has a zoomer parked outside. Come on we will take you to an old soothesayer she will care for you and hide you until all is safe." Young Jak nodded slowly and was swept away toward the zoomer. All this was happening so fast! First the dream then the book and now this! Jak finally let himself fall asleep as they rode slowly toward the hut to not set off any alarms...
*King Theodes is the Prince of Persia who killed his past self*
Sadly.. Unlike the Krimson Guards of the past, the Emareld Guards were quick, agile, strong, and went unseen.
Jak was jerked awake suddenly by Torn, they were running.. At least Torn was with Jak on his back. They ducked quite a few shots. But, alas, there was no escaping the might of the Emareld Guards.. Torn body lay mingled on the street.. Jak couldnt believe his eyes..
They took him to the Kings palace.. It was beautiful, but he hated it! He hated it fresh aroma! He hated is decorated walls! He hated that fool!! They threw him at the Kings feet, he sat there, looking up, into his enemies eyes.. How he would love to strangle him.. To cause him pain! But, now, that would be stupid!
The King lowered his head and whispered.. "You know who you were.. You do not know who you shall become... But you know something of great value.. You my young slave hold the keys to the past and the future.. But not now.. Your mind must be cleared!"
The guards dragged him to Prison of Rhode.. Stranded in the middle of the ocean.. No one had ever escaped, no one wanted to.. There were far to many Lurker Sharks in those icy depths to even risk it..
He was thrown into a cell, that was about a square metre, its walls flat, the door was flat.. This was a "Madman's House" as they called it back home! No, he would not go in there, he struggled, though, it was no use.. He sat there for ten long years.. Until the miraculous happened!
As he arrived at the edge of haven there was a group of people standing there fighting a horde of emerald gaurds. He quickly joined in. he took out three at once grabbed anothers gun and shot 12 instantly killing them. the group of people started cheering for they were a resistance group called the Seekers for they were seeking the rightful ruler. then came the trouble, teh kings personal gaurds the black knights. not only where they the most viscous of soldiers but they held peacemakers. the black knights quickly took out 6 of the resistance members but re-incarnated jak couldnt stand for his fellow people to die so he grabbed his zoomer's contronls aimed it at the black knights and released. the zoomer shot forward killing have of the black knights. the Seekers knew that they were no match for the black knights so they hopped onto their zoomers and fled for one of their safe houses. He saw Madame Fry flying away but she didnt get far one of the black knights shot her zoomer and she fell to the ground. re-incarnated jak ran over and threw her onto her back. he quickly ran throught the alleys and back alleys fleeing from the black knights trying to save madam fry's life with no bother of his own life. he started wondering how could this be a dream cause he hadnt woken up yet and none of his other dreams have given him so much information about things like the black knights for he had never known that they carried peacemakers. he also never knew about the resistance group called the seekers so either he was having a very exciting dream or this was real and Madame Fry was in as much danger as he was he just never realised it.

There was some confusion about the story on the PSU and this is the explanation that Howl gave:
So now it's your turn, take the story, move it along, and remember to HAVE FUN with it. Good luck and happy posting.
