Once upon a time, The Dark Raptor Lord reigned over the peaceful land of Wharsovar, eating peasant boys and then turning their remains into Raptotrons, his malevolent magitech minion mechs. They architected his will, horribly oppressing the people of Wharsovar. He tailwhipped the old king of Wharsovar's castle out of his own castle and declared the old castle renamed Oreinsberg, which meant DESPAIR LAND in the Dark Raptor Lord's native dialect of Raptorese. Except the Dark Raptor Lord heard of a prophecy of a hero who was destined to end his cruel reign over the land, and he was furious! He ordered all young boys, even all young raptors, captured and slaughtered in order to make sure that his destined enemy died years before he was prepared!
A heavily pregnant woman runs out into the night, dressed as an obese city man. She has to keep her child safe. For she knows somehow some way that her child is instrumental. In defeating the dread raptor lord. She is joined by a defecting Raptor Lieutenant named Irongnaw who had his raptor-son torn away from him.
The woman gives birth in a small village which was mostly ignored by the Dark Raptor Lord. Her son's birth results in so many awe-inspiring signs occurring at once that she figures the only name fit for him was simply...Awesome.
And so, eighteen years later, Awesome and Irongnaw venture forth, Awesome having been blessed by the Holy Quatreforce with the Expert Sword and the Greatness Shield. He fights through the five Element Shrines, facing monster servants of the Dark Raptor Lord.
Until finally the time came to defeat the Dark Raptor Lord in Oreinsberg itself! Awesome faces off against Shadow Awesome, his shadow animated by the magic of the Dark Raptor Lord, and ultimately defeats it!
However more of the Dark Raptor Lord's forces arrive, and Irongnaw shouts for Awesome to go ahead, that he'll hold them back! Awesome tearfully says his farewells to the raptor that was once like a cool uncle to him.
And so, entering the castle Awesome fights through the obligatory boss rush, eventually meeting the Dark Raptor Lord in the throne room. The Evil One guffaws and states that despite his misgivings, it truly was destiny to meet here. But first, he made the boy an offer! "JOIN ME, AWESOME! AND I WILL MAKE YOUR FACE THE GRRRRRREATEST IN ALL OF KORADEI!!! Or else you will die!!!"
Awesome defied the Dark Raptor Lord, preparing the Expert Sword for battle, "I will never join you!"
The heroic Awesome fought the Dark Raptor Lord in pitched combat, each blow met with the requisite special effect. Until finally Awesome struck the two swords of the Dark Raptor Lord out of his hands.
"This ends here!" Awesome shouted, spirits soaring.
The Dark Raptor Lord got back to his feet, recognizing the spirit of hope and light that Awesome brought to his lair. "YOU HAVE NOT SEEN MY TRUE FORM YET!!" He underwent a longwinded sequence where he basically turned into a giant manbearpigraptor.
Ironon, his true form's name, did shout in a deep, dark voice, "You have brought LIGHT to my LAIR!?! You must DIE!!"
Ironon seemed invincible as his true form, crushing and smashing and gnashing and bashing everywhere, Awesome's blows barely doing damage where before they had been effective! Ironon even threw his troops at Awesome literally, using them as raptoroid missiles! Ironon however miscalculated his one weakness! Awesome broke the window by accident, and let in light!
Ironon screamed in pain as the light did wound him for some odd reason. Taking heart in the power of light, Awesome channeled the power of the sun itself into his Expert Sword, drawing it forth into a veritable Power Rangers esque finishing move! He slashed once and a massive wave of sun energy crashed into the manbearpigraptor!
Ironon wheezed, laughing defiantly, "YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE LAST OF ME!!" He then fell over and exploded because of course he did. Yet somehow he was not dead. He was back in the desert...still plotting...recovering...plotting his next move.
The Old King returned and everything surprisingly quickly went back to normal. The Old King told a victorious Awesome, "Mah boi, dis peace is what warriors strive for!"
The end.
