Day 18: Winterdown (Nefarious)

Nefarious is a classic tale of good vs. evil. Good guys are here to save the day, and bad guys capture princesses who need rescuing. Except there's one twist... you're the bad guy. Let's be frank, being the villain is way more fun than being the hero anyway. A rookie supervillain named Crow is on his way to conquer the world, and plans to abduct all the princesses of the many kingdoms to fuel his royalty-powered death ray.

One of these kingdoms is the icy land of Winterdown, which has kind of a Russian aesthetic. It's the home of the dwarves and the warrior princess Ariella. As soon as you arrive you're treated to the Winterdown National Anthem. The lyrics sound like gibberish, but they're actually the princess's full name: Alisa Aglaya Anushka Ariella Alena Angelina Avdota Alexandra.

As he approaches the royal palace, Crow is met by a few guards. Some have cannons, others have throwing axes, but none of them is all that big a threat on their own. Getting inside isn't much of a problem.

Once there, Crow encounters rival villain Dr. Mechano. This is awkward... After a short midboss battle, he flees, and Crow is free to capture the princess. Well, except...

In Soviet Winterdown, princess captures you! Ariella decided to ride Crow through these ice caves, and there's not a whole lot he can do about it. While Ariella is on his back, Crow runs forward automatically, and you can attack stuff with her throwing axes. It's kinda frantic.

Once she gets bored of dragging you around, you're sent to the boss battle. Boss fights in this game are kind of an inverse from the usual tradition. Crow controls the giant robot seen here, and has to use its fists to stomp on the hero Guryon the Righteous. He's most vulnerable when he throws his weapon to attack you, though you do have to dodge out of the way first.

After defeating him, Ariella decides that being kidnapped is more interesting than hanging around her kingdom, so she goes along with Crow. It's debatable whether or not that counts as a victory for him, but at the very least it's one step closer to taking over the world.

Winterdown’s Decoy (Pt.3)

These are drabbles meant for the event going on. @heroesxdemonsand @sixfingersixtails are apart of this group, along with an unnamed Minion that I will write about. There will be 2-3 parts. Rise, action, and fall. I hope you enjoy it.

Part 3: The Ending

The tide of war changed on a dime multiple times. The dwarves knew who they were fighting. And Crow’s Empire knew the score now. There was no cloak and dagger on this fight. Only the strong can survive.

Luckily, Crow’s army held many characters that are special. Sixer, Desco, and a few other high commanding minions. Most of the Dwarf kingdom had either bird launchers, axe boomerangers, or singing yaks (Who mainly just ran away and set off like sirens).

But the actions on that day lead to a notification over to Sixer. The princess was captured, set out and escape.

Looking to the sky, the rescue ships started to come out of the wood work and downward. The minions were ecstatic at the end of the mission, keeping themselves safe as form began to fall apart as a mad rush/ protection of the ships ensued.

Those quickly got there got on machine guns and mowed down in front of the dwarves to stop their advancements, while the straggling minions who didn’t get hit were rushing the rear.

One surprising thing was the lack of people helping the wounded in the escape. Some did, but mainly people left the bodys groaning on the ground. It was because there was a countdown, and it was being fed to the leaders of the mission. They knew what the time to leave was, and that was on their parts.

But as the count down ended, and the ships started to leave, all firing stopped as a simple stare down came across the feild. Crow’s army seemed like it lost in the war, but as the dwarves learn soon, Crow’s army won. The villain took the princess while the city was in destruction.

Tactical Retreat

Sixer was having some trouble with the dwarves, but he was quick enough on his feet that their attacks never managed to hit him straight-on, if at all. Homes and crops and whatever else inanimate that ended up in his path burst into flames, causing the dwarves to scatter in search of their fire brigade. But every time they almost reached him, Sixer had dashed off to the next location to cause more damage.

He was about to call for one of the minions under him for a quick recharge when he got the call from Crow.

Immediately, he accessed the channel with the other minions. “Fall back, now! We’ve got what we came for!”

The minions responded with various affirmatives -- Desco’s comment about transforming was noted with a frown -- and Sixer turned and started to run to the rendezvous point, avoiding dwarves as much as he could. He shouted encouragement for the minions to move it as he past by them -- until one caught his attention.

A minion had taken an axe to the leg and was limping forward as quickly as possible. It was clear he wasn’t going to make it.

Or, he wouldn’t have, if Sixer hadn’t slowed for a second.

Sixer moved in front of the minion, catching him by surprise and pulling him onto Sixer’s back. “Hang on, and whatever you do, don’t let go.”

He didn’t wait for the minion to give a verbal response before he leapt forward -

-- and four fox paws hit the snowy ground.

The giant, six-tailed fox took off at a dead run, the minion on his back hanging on for dear life as Sixer reached the rest of the minions with their covering fire. He bolted in and reached the ships before skidding to a halt just inside the open doors.

A couple minions looked surprised when they saw Sixer and the injured minion. “Where did that come from? Are we getting another animal or--”

Sixer huffed as the minion fell off, and he shifted back to human form, cutting the minion off. “Don’t stand there gawking, we’re not out of harm’s way just yet.”

The minions exchanged looks, then scattered.

There’s times where I know even if I’m feeling down there’ll be a up because “once you hit rock bottom the only place to go is up” right? That’s a quote from Atlantis: The Lost Empire, probably one of my favourite Disney movies of all time. It’s funny, I don’t tell people a lot of the times I have this odd heavy nostalgic streak. It’s why I take pictures of the places I’ve been like the one here. This was taken October 10th 2019 on probably one of the nicest days we had during the fall. I was out on a hike at Deadman’s Bay Path with one of my good pals, packed lunch (homemade sushi) and went for the day. It’s small moments like this that really make me appreciate the little slice of life I have even if sometimes it doesn’t seem that great. Simple isn’t always a bad thing. Looking at this photo and the slew of other ones are just friendly reminders that I will be able to enjoy times like these again soon. I told myself I’ll start off on the right foot in the morning, it’s the best thing I can do when I’m feeling down. Don’t worry about what you’ve put behind you, it’s what’s ahead that you should be looking towards. Guess I’m just tired lately, like I love that people have faith in me but sometimes I wish I didn’t have any care for anything. Sometimes it’s okay to be carefree. Sometimes it’s okay to go spend the entire day unwinding on some of the trails, there’s something liberating about being balls deep in nature and feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin. It’s weird being an extrovert that also happens to have introverted tendencies. I love people but there’s times I just want to be by myself without worrying about what I should/shouldn’t be doing. This summer I want to go swimming in that watering hole on the right side of the photo, I want to feel the sand between my toes and not give a fuck.

[rosetowers]

so i recently developed a mild obsession with a game called Nefarious and just had a cute/sad headcanon.

Prince Malachite has the Winterdown National Anthem on his phone and before the events of the game, usually in the middle of the night or when he knows he won’t be interrupted, he put headphones on and listened to it, mouthing Princess Ariella’s name to himself, wishing the war between their people could end and he could at least talk to her. 

[nefarious-imagines]

Heroes proposing to s/o? And mabye....wedding headcanon for them too? Sorry just last ask was so cute!

Sure thing! (Also disclaimer, the specific cultural events that I use in this list are NOT canon, I'm just a sappy bitch)

Mack: He had to hype himself up to propose to you, this man is really struggling beforehand. He had the ring ready and everything but he just. Had no clue when the right time would be or what to say. Finally, the moment arrived. Y'all were in full view of the annual Macro City firework show, and that's when he proposed to you!

The wedding day finally came and he was just as nervous, he looked his absolute best and everything was pretty well planned. He probably cried when you both said your vows.

Dash: Look at this overly confident motherfucker right here. He was so nonchalant about it, he knew exactly what he was gonna say and when to say it! He proposed at the Insektian Fall Harvest Festival, and definitely made a fool of himself. Whether he missaid a word, or just tripped when getting on one knee, it was hilarious.

Wedding rolls around, he is TOTALLY not nervous. (yes he is) He paced around while getting ready, hoping he doesn't trip and fall like he did at the festival. Surprise! He didn't fall! You exchanged vows, the after party was rockin', it was great!

Guryon: Honestly, he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it and put you on the spot in public. So he'd propose on Christmas when you're both exchanging gifts. He put the ring in a box with a sweet note to you on the wrapping paper and patiently waited for you to open it.

The wedding would be a pure white winter wedding. (Because it's always winter in winterdown) Nothing really went wrong. It was a good day all around!

Kaptain Man: It's manly to cry while proposing, shut up. He proposed to you under the same cherry blossom tree he confessed his love to you a few years ago. This man made and read out a whole poem to you before getting on one knee, I'm telling you guys, gals, and nonbinary pals he's a keeper.

The wedding was Sukochi Traditional mixed with your culture, you both picked out everything and came to compromises if you didn't agree on something. This guy just started crying when you started walking down the aisle, it's manly to cry when your s/o looks radiant at your wedding, shut UP

Winterdown’s Recon (Pt.2)

@crows-evil-blog

They brought a lot of C4. That poor unnamed minion carried most of it there for them. Give that guy a raise!

Rachael helped set up the explosives and doesn’t stop when the call came in. She wavers when Crow starts to speak up into the intercom and stops to watch him under the mask. Change of plans? No problem. Wouldn’t be the first time she had to do some improvisation on the job.

“Will do boss. Permission to take the grunt with me?” She points a thumb to the anonymous minion with them. She could use the extra arms to carry explosives. But not just that. She was starting to feel a little weird. Was it jitters? No it felt physical. Something was off. She tries to tuck the anxiety away and get back to her job.

They split their ways.

Winterdown’s Recon (Pt.3)

These are drabbles meant for the event going on. @splinter-sister and @anothercracker are apart of this group, along with an unnamed Minion that I will write about. There will be 2-3 parts. Rise, action, and fall. I hope you enjoy it. 

Part 3: Retrieval and Escape

With all of the events going on that happened, everything is on the fly. The entire Recon team was split up doing their own part to deal with a way in and out for a good escape and capture. Crow’s goal specifically was grabbing the princess. Simple enough. After a silent nod of a ‘go team’, they all bursted apart as Crow ran inwards, where as Racheal and Tina ran outward to do their gig. Time to get to work.

��Ariella! We have come for you! Give up simply to end this attack! We know what happens if you don’t!” Crow yells, exploding into the main chamber, as the dwarf steps forward.

“... Broomstick. You had almost caused an international incident. The peace we had was almost broken. I hope you have the best excuse you can muster, or I’m taking your other arm, and finding the original as trophies.” Ariella spoke with a strong, angry, and cold Scottish accent.

“I’m the villain. I cause destruction, pain, sorrow, and horrible events. Seeing my adversaries weaker and at their own throats only makes my attacks stronger. So my role is fit well, and I intend to see it through.” Crow says, having a stance, readying his hand.

“... You were always a schemer. If we didn’t end this war, I would might have given you that kingdom area as a price to help me solve the issue. But Mayapple and Malachite led me to peace. The war was over. I-”

“!!!!!”

Ariella fell down, after receiving an electrical shock. She was conscious still, but barely. Crow scoops her up and starts running.

“You want peace? I’ll give you the greatest peace there is with kingdoms. Under my rule. Under my control.” Crow says to her, as he books it.

Racheal’s and Tina’s work really showed as he ran back. Nearly no run ins and no problems, all with the escape route in sight and the escape vehicle appearing before them. Crow jumps on first, followed by R and T.

Ariella looks at the other two as they are all taken into the air:

“You are all going down.”

But Crow succeeded today, and his actions are known.

[sixfingersixtails]

As the mission for Winterdown got closer and closer, Sixer had been putting in a lot of work to make his group of minions a lot more deadly and destructive. The improved weapons, the new order to the chemical devision...it was very clear there was some mad genius intelligence at work.

Although, today, a different sort of muttering could be heard from his quarters. A conversation, in fact.

“Thank you for getting this to me on such short notice, Star.”

“It wasn’t a problem, Grunkle Sixer. Just...be careful, okay?” Whoever Star was, they sounded like a pre-teen girl. “And get out if things start looking too bad.”

“I’ll be all right, I promise. Things are a little different here, so I doubt that Crow will lean in the same direction Cipher did.”

“...okay, but if he does, I’m crashing his ship.”
