Writing Ideas - Retribution is at Hand
So...if anyone knows Warcraft lore, they'll get both extremely excited, and extremely confused.
-Major life spoiler for Retribution is at Hand-
Plot twist:
During the fight against the Lich King, Arthas stalls everyone with taunting them, or just talking on his throne. Derrick then shouts, "What are you waiting for?"
Arthas doesn't respond, before everyone feels the dimentional rip; it's as if the Dark Portal is before them. Arthas then turns, and lifts his hands, smiling wickedly, and shouts with Ner'Zul's voice at the portal suspended in Mid-air: "I knew you weren't able to simply watch, you demon dog!"
Icecrown in its whole shakes, and the undead fighting against the Alliance, the Horde and the Argent Crusade suddenly retreat, heading to Icecrown.
"You will feel the pain and anguish of two leaders turned against their people, Demon lord, Sargaras!" Arthas and Ner'Zul shout in union, before the air itself freezes and reaches the portal, and strikes through it.
"Ner'Zul...the betrayer--" Sargaras's ancient, demonic voice whispers. "And Arthas...I felt such promise in you two."
"To have me to turn against Durotar's only son, and to have me perform genocide against my people..." Ner'Zul whispers in a mental voice-
"To have forced me to destroy my home...destroy my people's hopes...and kill my own father," Arthas continues--
"I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU!!!" They both shout, as the Ley Lines under Icecrown rise and spear Sargaras's flaming body. "I would rather have them die by my hands forever, then to suffer endlessly in yours!"
"A--Arthas," Varian stutters, as Thrall falls to his knees.
Derrick then smiles slightly, "I knew you wouldn't be beyond redemption..."
"I knew your plan...I knew your planning to end Illidan by provoking the heroes of the Alliance and the Horde to come to Outland and lay waste to him...If he had planned to fight and not run like he always did, he would have probably posed a greater threat then me!" The Lich King shouted, his hands glowing black, as spears of death burst from the ground, impaling Sargaras. "You fell once to the Guardian, and you shall fall again, and your vile name will not be spoken in our home again!"
"Fool--" Sargaras shouted, before fel flames in the color of the purest black burnt through the Lich King, who fell to his knees. "The Guardian only allowed me to possess her son...had she listened to the Order, Medivh would have not be dead, and Azeroth wouldn't have been doomed!"
"Oh...but I am not dead."
Everyone turned to the head of the Throne, where Medivh stood, ghastly as ever, eyes glassy.
"Part of you still lives in me, Demon lord..." Medivh spoke slowly. "I both rejected and embraced it...had I chosen one, I would have died. But now...you fight your equal."
Medivh stands up, and lifts his hands. Atiesh, his greatstaff flies to his hands, as he says, pointing it slowly at the demon, "But my mother underestimated you...I will not attack you alone.
Tirion! Arthas! Varian, Thrall!" He shouts suddenly, as each of those stand up.
"And Champion of the Dawn, Derrick," Medivh continues, as he turns to look at him. "You heard me once at Lordaeron, and I am thankful. Now hear me once more..."
...Well?
Derrick: *Holds himself from killing me* "Continue please"
no, You're not pulling Ielas's move yesterday. I'm stopping here. Besides, this is enough spoiling for one day.
Wild, eh? Arthas turns out to not only protect Azeroth, but also made Death Knights to represent the Alliance and the Horde before he lured both their leaders and their greatest champions to one place, calmly planning to wait out for Sargaras, who would attempt to ambush them and destroy Azeroth's strongest resistance all at once.
Mention of Ley Lines, the return of Medivh, and this whole plot came into mind when the quest that included destroying Arthas's heart came to mind. He cannot feel with his own heart, thus losing much of his humanity, but he can still be driven by his last hope before he pulled out his heart.
Why did he pull out his heart? I'm not sure lore-wise, but in my version, probably from the pain of killing so many promising people after they failed to join him.
Well...? What do you think?
Derrick: "That was nice. Why don't you continue RiaH?"
Because! I can't write several things at once!
Derrick: "Schoolwork, too?"
Yesh.
Anyway...that felt good.
I just hope someone actually reads this.
