This is part one of a twelve-part RP story I did more than a month ago with  EricStripe. It stars his main dragon character, Xiren, his main lizard character, Agua, his main rabbit character and Aerona Chronicles protagonist, Kuroi, my Keepers protagonist Storm, my deuteragonist, Jobe, and my main werewolf character, Vyk. It revolves around, as the title suggests a brief war they're going to fight with a whole army of undead bent on conquering Xiren, Agua, and Kuroi's version of Earth. The story also features Seth and the remaining five Keepers, my tritagonist, Michel, Jabu, Nalan, Arlo, and Ryth.

In this first part, none of the heroes are featured (though some are mentioned). Instead, the Keepers' nemesis, Jyn, meets with another villain familiar to them, Niles Sobek, in Aterea's Underworld. Niles warns Jyn about his albino crocodile partner, Viktor (who still has no art to link to), Kuroi, Agua, and Xiren's secret nemesis (whom they don't even know about), and states his disgust with how ungrateful he acts towards his former werewolf partner. Jyn defends his partner, saying how alike they are, and that is why he chooses to remain partners with him. He then promises Niles a revival and a reunion with his old partner, Takhe, if he aids him and Viktor in their plans regarding the Oni.

After Niles accepts the offer, he is taken by Jyn to meet Viktor, as well as the other pawns to the crocodile's plan -- the three souls stolen from Elysium, who happen to be Kuroi's dead love, Eve, Agua's former master and father figure, Garrick, and Xiren's dead love, Jade. All are introduced to the evil Oni Malice, and they are tasked with leading his undead troops in conquering Djeura and especially Aerona. All three souls are reluctant, since it means hurting their own loved ones, but under Malice's influence, they have no choice. Even Niles is killed again so Malice can take possession of his body. Also, Shiranu makes an appearance.

After preparations are finally made, Viktor does the one thing he has not done since the start of his partnership to Jyn. He finally thanks him for his help thus far. They shake paws . . . and bring about something ominous that only Jyn notices. But the werewolf shakes it off, waiting for the perfect time to strike with the undead army.

The night of the Keepers' anniversary festival. . . .
