The Quest for the Golden BrickCommunity Project
What is this?
"The Quest for the Golden Brick" is going to be a series of short chapters I will write, depending on what you guys think. Basically, you guys can manipulate the story by posting what you want to happen, just nothing to out of lines. There are going to be 2 champions who embark on a quest to find the Golden Brick from Lord Tony. I will be needing different characters, other than just the champions. I need villans, quest guides, helpers, companions, all that stuff.
There is only going to be a certain amount of space for each slot. So if the space fills up, I will will be randomizing who goes. Again, you can manipulate the story, just don't be a total richard and say "I RIDE PONYS TO MEWN". Thanks! Application is below.
Chapter One
Prologue
Once upon a time, there was a land. The land was made of blocks. The land was so influenced by blocks, it was called Blockland. Blockland was a magnificent world. Blocklanders came and made beautiful creations. Arcs, towers, anything that could be imagined. Builds, animals, and players flourished in Blockland. Everything was so great, everything was perfect.
But there was one Blocklander. One Blocklander who hated ponies. His name was Lord Tony. The more the ponies flourished, the more angry he got. Finally, he reached his breaking point. He poured out his wrath over the ponies, exterminating all of the ones in the land. But then, through the anger, evil flourished. The evil and darkness inside Lord Tony multiplied by his anger until he was not able to control it. His ultimate goal, killing all ponies had changed. He sought out to kill all the goodness in the land.
His wrath poured out, unable to control it. The skies turned dark, grass died, trees bent over, as if to grab you from just walking near it. Lord Tony's palace grew darker. And every day, the darkness spread, slowly engulfing Blockland at a faster rate every single day.
Other Blocklanders rose to also help Lord Tony. Trolls, manipulators, DDoSers, rose to attack and kill off Bllockland. DDoSers launched DDoS attacks, terroizing Blocklanders. Trolls destroyed builds. And manipulators turned each Blocklander against each other. Leading to mistrust and denial. Blockland was in shambles.
Worlds and builds were destroyed by the very second. Being terroized and destroyed. DDoS attacks lead to corrupt files. Blockland was engulfed in chaos from Lord Tony's minions.
Was there any hope?
Yes. There was still hope. Blocklanders still rose to confront Lord Tony and turn back his evil and darkness. Many have failed, but some still pursue. Some Blocklanders and players still see hope in Blockland, and that they can save it. But will it be enough?
In the darkness, there is one brick. Legend says it is imbued with transcendent holy power. It was called
The Golden Brick. It is said that the Golden Brick was created by three of the tools that were used to create Blockland it very self. The hammer, the wrench, and the wand.
Eons ago, King Badspot and Lord Shadows used their powers and the tool's power to create the Golden Brick. Sealing the tools inside the Golden Brick. Legend says that the Golden Brick has the power to push back Lord Tony from the land, and reclaim Blockland, make it perfect for the Blocklanders to come back and make their beautiful creations, and that the ponies could relive once more.
But how would any Blocklander get the Golden Brick? The Golden Brick is said to not of exist anymore, but if it was, it would be extremely hard to obtain. Whoever stepped up to take the Golden Brick had to pass many, many challenges that no average Blocklander could do. Only a few select champions had the destiny to step up to these challenges and overcome them. But who would step up to such task?
Come participate in this story, as two Blocklanders go on a quest to save Blockland from the evil of Lord Tony. Many people will help guide these two Blocklanders, and many people will try and stop them. Do you have the guts to stop Lord Tony and take the Golden Brick?
Save Blockland.

Chapter Two
Archimedes
Redconer Kiritak the Second woke up as a house exploded across the street.
Redconer scrambled out of his bed, sheets and pillows flying. He could hear other Blocklanders screaming and running above and below his apartment. Quickly, he put on pants, a shirt, and belted his sheath and scrambled down stairs.
The lobby was in chaos. Players ran around throwing chairs and belongings around the lobby. The owner hid behind his desk trying to avoid all unidentified flying objects. Redconer quickly ducked and dodged and then made his way outside.
Outside was even in more chaos. More players ran around screaming. The ones who weren't were sitting on the street, head in hands crying.
Many buildings were in ruins. Some buildings seemed to just not be there. The beautiful wooden buildings either had gaping holes, burning, or on the street, on it's side.
Redconer surveyed the area, trying to think of what to do. Just then, the apartment behind him exploded. Shrapnel and debris stung as it hit his back. He was sent flying all the way across the seat, tumbling till he hit the wall of another house.
He got up, dazed. Where were these explosions coming from? Then he saw it. A man was flying through the sky. He was wearing an odd suit. Yellow boots, chest, and and arms, with a black undershirt, pants and mask. He was the most odd looking person Redconer had seen yet.
But there was something else. He was holding an object. A long slim object. Redconer couldn't see it to well.
Redconer got up from the ground and ran across the street, getting a better look of what was in his right hand. It looked like a wand of some type. Redconer had never seen something like it before. He reached out with the wand, pointing it at another building next to the apartment. A fiery red laser came out of the tip of the want, firing straight through the house, the house blew up, sending another shockwave through the city.
Redconer obviously didn't know what it was, but he guessed it was dangerous. He ran from building to building, trying to debate if he should run, or try something utterly stupid that would probably get him killed.
He went with choice 2.
Just then, he turned to see a eight soldiers marching toward the black and yellow guy. They were armed with pikes, with short swords sheathed on their belts. They got to the road, in front of the flying black and yellow guy. They prepared their pikes, lowering it in front of them.
The black and yellow guy slowly levitated onto the ground. Little bits of dust scattering around his leather feet.
"You think you can stop the great and powerful Maxis?!" He sneered. "No one can stop me!"
So apparently this guy was Maxis. Great, whoever he was. Thought Redconer.
"For Archimedes!" Charged the pikemen.
Maxis easily lifted up his wand, pointing it to the group. He fired one laser at the first row.
BOOM. The pikemen flew backwards, left, and right.
Maxis laughed. He rose up the ground about ten blocks. He surveyed the screaming town. "SILENCE!" Maxis shouted. No use. The Blocklanders kept running around screaming.
Maxis grumbled something under his breath that Redconer couldn't hear. Maxis then looked up. "
SIIIILEEEENCEEEE!!!" Maxis screamed. Firing a shot of the explosive red laser at the center of the town.
Everyone stopped, turning towards Maxis. "You cowards of Archimedes!" He laughed. "Surrender! Submit to Lord Tony!"
Mothers clenched their children. People around the road cowered behind objects.
"Hey!" Shouted Redconer. Standing up. "What do you think you're doing here?"
Maxis turned around. "Who do you think you are?!" Barked Maxis.
"I'm that guy." Said Redconer, slowly walking towards Maxis, hand on his sword hilt. "Who do you think
you are?"
"I am Maxis, the great scripter. I have come to take over your town!"
"How do you think you're going to do that?"
"Well... uh..." He thought about it for a second, levitating in mid air.
Redconer hoped that his plan that he just made up was going to work, or he would be fried chicken.
"Well I'm going to–" Maxis shrieked.
Redconer quickly unsheathed his sword and lunged at Maxis, slashing at the place
where-you-do-not-hit. The sword cut his thigh, sending him spiraling out of control then landing onto the ground.
"How dare you cut me with your toy!" He shrieked. He got up, limping on his left leg. He took his wand and shot at Redconer. Redconer dodged it by a hair, feeling its hot powerful blast almost cut through his shoulder. Redconer ducked, rolled, got back up and charged at Maxis.
Maxis shot two more lasers from his d-wand, both of them missed. Redconer tackled Maxis to the ground and sat on his chest, punching Maxis in the face.
All of a sudden, the air around Redconer and Maxis grew hot, exponentially. A bright light surround them.
"What the–" Redconer was blown back. Maxis was now levitating again, eyes glowing. Redconer scrambled back.
"How dare you defy Maxis." Echoed Maxis, as if there were ten people inside him, speaking in unison. "You will face the consequences."
"Oh." Redconer cursed. Scrambling back. Maxis raised his wand, pointing it right at Redconer's head.
"Prepare to–"
SHINK! The glow in Maxis' eyes faded. He fell to the ground, face first onto the dirt, a knife sticking out of his back. Redcorner blinked.
"Now what did you think you were doing?" Said a figure behind Maxis' body.

Chapter Three
Pecon
Redconer blinked. Before him was a girl. Not really a girl but a... fascinating girl.
Her eyes were are stunning gray shade, as if to pierce right through his body. She was clearly fit, wearing cloth shirt, tight jeans, a black vest, and several daggers on her leather belt. In other words, she was stunningly beautiful.
Her beautiful blonde hair fluttered in the wind as she bent down, picked up her knife erected out of Maxis' back, cleaned the blood off her pants, and stuck it back in it's sheath. She looked around. Other Blockheads will still starting at the girl and Redconer.
She kicked Maxis. "You didn't answer my question." She said.
"Yeah uh." Redconer was still gaping in awe. "What was it?"
The girl rolled her eyes. "I asked what you were doing."
Redconer got up. "Trying to get myself killed of course." Brushing himself off.
"Yeah well you do a mighty fine job at it." She turned around and walked away.
Redconer ran up to her, walking beside her. "What were
you doing?"
"Saving your ass." She said, turning left, still walking across the road.
"Yeah uh, thanks." He said, thinking of what to say. "Where are you going?"
"Does it matter?" She asked, turning across another road, not slowing down.
"Well yeah, I just helped you–"
"No, I saved
your ass. Not mine." She came up to a nice wooden house much like the other ones on the side of the road. She opened the door and walked inside. Redconer helped himself and walked right inside to.
The house smelled old and musty. There was a table with candles and ancient books surrounding this old man, reading a book. Other candles and shrines were around the room. Despite the mustiness, Redconer began to get quite chilly.
"What are you doing in here now?" The girl asked, her beautiful eyes staring right into his.
"Well, since you just saved my life and all," Redconer said. "I'd at least get to know your name."
She resisted the urge to slap him. "I'm am Princess Pecon the third. And no– I don't need to know your name."
Redconer leaned up against the wall. "Yeah. Well I'm Redconer Kiritak the second. What are all these books for?"
Pecon glared at him. "It's none of your buisness. They are just w–"
"Oh Pecon my girl! Have you found your companion?"
Pecon face palmed. Redconer almost doubled over.
"No, Grandpa, how many times do I have to tell you I'm going
alone." She said. "This guy– uh, Redconer was just leaving." Pecon glared at him.
The old man frowned, his glasses almost falling off his nose. He shut his book and put it down on the table. "But I told you! It's too dangerous."
"Too dangerous for what?" Asked Redconer, curious.
"Oh!" Exclaimed Grandpa. "Well–"
"Grandpa, you don't need to–" Pecon tried to cut him off, no use.
"In these legendary books you see," The old man picked up the book he was reading, and wobbled over to Redconer, flipping through pages. He stopped at one page, on the front of it was a sepia picture of a brick. "You can't see it very well, but this is the Golden Brick.
Legend says that it was forged by the very tools that created Blockland, our world. It was made from the Hammer, the Wrench, and the Wand. King Badspot and Lord Shadows fused the tools together, and that created the Golden Brick.
It also says that the Golden Brick has many powers, many good powers, if used in the right hands obviously. And if it is obtained, it could have positive or negative power you see.
We believe that the Golden Brick has enough power to defeat Lord Tony from the land!
So Pecon, my girl, was going to go to an old friend of mine, and they would go and try and retrieve the Golden Brick!" Said Grandpa, nodding. "You see?"
Redconer blanky looked at the old man. "Ok. So finding this Golden Brick is going to defeat Lord Tony right?" Grandpa nodded.
"Of course it is you dimwit." Pecon said, face palming again.
Redcorner ignored her. "So what happens when we, or, whoever gets the golden brick and kills Lord Tony get?"
The old man rubbed his beard. "Well–"
"Lots of riches?" Redconer winked.
Pecon banged her head against the wall.
"Yes well–" The old man blinked.
"OK! I'm in." Redconer exclaimed, clapping his hands. "When do we start?" The old man blinked.
"Do I really have to take
him?" Pecon said, rolling her eyes. "He can't even save himself from guys in yellow suits."
"Well Princess Pecon, today's your lucky day."
