Ys Fan Fiction

[hedron]

Anyone know any Ys fan fiction that doesn't sound like it's written by a 13 year old? I know there's some book that's supposed have something however remote to do with the original two games, but I really doubt it's what I would want it to be.

[Raison D'etritus]

The massive demon rose again. Three times it had fallen, and three iterations he had deftly slain. As its scaly carapace shed from its girth, revealing a slick wet flesh, hot acid dripped from its gaping maw, sizzling the cavern floor where it fell steaming.
Through giant, impossibly sharp fangs it hissed, "yooouuuuu shaaaalll noooot wiiin."
Adol put his finger to the demon's lips. Nothing more needed to be said. The breach of social conduct and personal boundaries struck the monster in an invisible weak spot. Centuries of repression were instantly undone, and a hunger deeper than the desire to devour the spiritual energy of the nameless island's inhabitants in order to lay the Dark Egg which would birth the Dark Prophet and bring on the Dark Age. . . was awakened.
What happened next sent a thrill of panic through Adol's bones. Dread coursed through him like acid in his veins, and even his courageous countenance was overcome with sheer terror.
Daera had entered the cavern.
The girl had been following him about like a besotted puppy ever since he'd rescued her from the sorcerer in the Shagwood Forest. It had been an epic battle, a real nightmare—which he had bested in a record time of only 46 seconds. It would take too many ellipses to explain to the girl that he had only wanted to fight the villain, and that her rescue had been merely incidental. He trusted that his constant evasions would get the point across to her.
It worked as well as with every other woman.
"Adol!" Daera cried. "I've brought Baeyl's Amulet, which will weaken the demon!"
Good. Maybe she could fight it then.
". . ." he shouted to Dogi.
"I'm with ya lil' buddy!" Dogi called back. He slammed his raval hard fist into the cavern's wall, and a shockwave reverberated throughout the mountain.
Adol rolled as rocks came raining down from above, narrowly avoiding imminent damage. As he stood before the opening rent in the cavern's side, looking out to budding daylight, he tossed his sword back to Daera. He couldn't very well start a new adventure with such a powerful weapon.
"Adol, wait!" the girl called after him as he and Dogi emerged at the banks of the still sea. "Adoooo—" the cry was cut off in the gnashing of teeth.
"Thank the gods the scenario writer left us a boat here!" Dogi proclaimed as he cut the tethers—punching it hadn't worked.
The two adventurer's boarded the small boat, and Dogi's strong arms rowed them out to sea (there are three things heroes don't do: they don't use the bathroom. They don't settle down. And they sure as hell don't row their own damn boats). Adol stood at the prow, his eyes on the far horizon and the waking morning sun. His mind's eye was focused beyond, however. On the distant shores, on the waiting adventures, and on the heated flames of coming battles.
He didn't even notice the flames behind him, as the nameless island was razed.

Daera! No...

[Raison D'etritus]

Now if only the same thing could happen to Terra. . .

[schlagwerk]

So Adol takes off his shirt and he's ripped...

[narugami]

This is now the random Ys fanfic thread.

...


The problem, Elena thought sadly, was that there just weren't any worthwhile guys in Felghana. Adol had the conversational skills of a brick. Dogi practically WAS a brick. And Chester didn't introduce her to any of his friends, so she had no choice but to wander out on her own to meet new people.

She ventured a glance at the gate. The coast was clear. Elena clenched her fists and dashed out of Redmond, ready to brave the wolves (literal and metaphorical) for love!

BANG! Elena's vision exploded with stars as she hit someone. Rubbing her forehead, Elena curtseyed politely, trying to identify the other person as she apologized. "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I went. Are you alright?"

....It was Adol. Elena's hope faded as he politely conveyed his offer to escort her safely back to town.

Oh drat. Love would have to wait another day.

[Raison D'etritus]

Hysterical! I loves it.

This is now the random Ys fanfic thread.

I'm glad this is catching, but I kind of feel bad that hedron was looking for serious, mature fanfiction. . . and his thread has turned out parody.
(but good parodies are a hundred times better than bad serious stuff, right?)

EDIT: cuz I missed it:

So Adol takes off his shirt and he's ripped...

You try wearing armor 24/7 and constantly swinging a sword; you'd be ripped too! (or more likely, very tone)

[fireinthehole]

I remember coming across a sad fanfic about Dark Fact, which was in Korean. It is about how he lost his stern but loving father to greedy miners, became a demon, found Feena, started harboring feelings for her despite locking her away, only realized them after Adol killed him and Feena came to comfort him in his last moments. I could try to find it although I am not sure if the blog still exists anymore.
Since we are on the topic of fanfic, didn't we have one about Adol and Dogi's lovely honeymoon down the Nile River on this forum? I am pretty sure somebody wrote about it...

I fear such a thing does not exist.

[Trebia]

Well,I´m working on one(I have got 27 years old).
I´m doing it like if it were a next Ys game,or something.
Don´t know if it´s infant or not,but,what I can say,it´s long.XD
I didn´t finish it yet.

[Trebia]

I did a one shot (short fiction) today.
Here it is:

Ys (One Shot) - Bad Awakening


I woked up.
I didn´t know where I was, because the darkness was absolute.
I alarmed.
Something down me moved. It doesn´t walked . However it movements were from down to up.
I touched it.
It wasn´t viscous as I though as I waited, but soft when I touched it.
Suddenly, I heard a noise. Not a common and normal noise, but one strong, that remembered me to a lion´s roar. Next, I heard the wind´s whistle.
This occurred sometimes, but didn´t stop.
When I get used to it, I tried to woke up. Just when I did the intention to incorporate, I fell again: the surface I was in, it wasn´t plane.
I tried to walked forwards, with my arms extended to give me balance, and putting a feet before the other.
I was scared.
Curiously, as I advanced, the noises created intensity.
One time, I was in a pinch to fall, but I leaned to something. It wasn´t soft, but it wasn´t solid, either.
I tried to lean the feet, but there was nothing. I groped and I find out that down there was a floor. I stepped it. It was equally soft and delicate, but it doesn´t move.
I continued walking, while I touched a wall that sinking if I extended the hand.
I grabbed it, because I was in a pinch to fall. Before, there was absolute nothing, or, at least, something that I was able to grab, and I was afraid. I back away my steps, and I returned to the more or less solid surface.
I realized something that I didn´t noticed before: the wall in wich I supported, up. I scaled it as I can, while I touched the other wall.
I let thoughtful.
The noises didn´t cease, no matter where I was, and I wanted to sleep.
If I sleeped, maybe there was a dawn no matter where I was, and I could see better.
I layed at the soft surface, and, in a moment, I felt asleep.
In the morning, a severe but sweet voice tried to woke me up, while I felt something gave me little pushings.
"Hey, you sleepyhead, wake up." The voice said. "It´s past eleven o´clock."
I opened the eyes, somnolent. I saw I was in a room, although there was something that didn´t fit with the furniture, or, at least, what I knew about it.
"Where do you look at? I´m here." Started to talk the voice again.
I looked where it comes, and I frozed: in front of me there was white and oranges circles that was moving.
"What´s wrong with you?" The voice seemed confused.
I yelled, as louder as I can.
When we down stairs, Adol laugh out loud.
"It wasn´t funny" I growled, crossing my arms, sit down at Dogi´s shoulder.
This one had the hand in the neck, and had the expression of didn´t know what he did.
"I only tried to woke up her". He mused.
"Don´t get your face to mine like that again." I scolded him. "I was near a heart attack. Adol, don´t laugh!
"That will teach you to not to sleep above Dogi´s tummy again." Adol winked.
I didn´t know what to say, but I cross my arms with an ungry face: I didn´t remember that last night, I felt asleep above a big tummy.
"What do you think if we go away now?" Adol asked.
"Ok." Dogi assented. He smiled mischievously. "But I hope this miss don´t sleep at my head."
"DOGI!" I exclaimed while Adol´s laugh.
And so, we set off for a new adventure, although I had enough with mine that night.

Hope you liked it.

That's actually canon, at least according to the Ys I & II Chronicles instruction manual. I didn't realize this before, as I've never bothered reading any of the instructions to Ys games (since you don't really need to!)... but while translating the manual for Ys I & II Chronicles, I learned that Dark Fact's parents were very vocal opponents of the mining of raval ore, as it betrayed the teachings of Ys (and as a descendant of the Priest Fact, Dark's father still knew of and tried to follow these teachings). The miners, however, grew increasingly furious with the Fact family standing in the way of them making money, and eventually murdered Dark's parents in cold blood -- which is when Dark suddenly vanished.

Oh... Interesting!

(Didn't you mean "Silver" instead of "Raval Ore", though?)

I do recall that the anime supports something similar, as well.

Also about Dark Fact x Feena, Dark Fact DOES say "After I kill you, she (memoriless Feena) will be my reward." in the DOS, Apple IIgs and NES/FamiCom versions of Ys I (and MAYBE in the X68000 version. If anyone's willing to translate what he says in that version, I can provide the script).

Random 99% offtopic nonsense fact of the day: I found a canteen today whose name was "Kyodai". XD

And how the hell did I miss this post?!

Thanks for quoting it Red Hairdo Interesting indeed.

I can't promise an instant turnaround but I'll look through his lines if you like.

[Red Hairdo]

Thanks for volunteering. Don't feel like you must translate them or anything, though -- whenever you are in the mood, if ever, here's it:
