Hi! This is a fanfic describing the adventures of my new 'Maren, Micorp. I post chapters on Mondays and Thursdays. It does have some JOD references, and happens after the events of JOD. It goes on the basis that
A. Wizeman made more 1st level 'Maren after NJOD (similar to the generations idea, but not the same, as I had this idea of him making more before I joined this website)
B. Wizeman is never destroyed, simply defeated
C. When a 'Maren is destroyed, instead of going away, they just fall unconscious for a bit and continue existing
D. NiD and NJOD happened in the same dimension and universe and stuff (they co exist together as one world)

Well, here it is!

The Misadventures of Micorp the 'Maren

Chapter 1: The first impression

In a large, cube room, there was a lone 'Maren. She was sitting on a large, white chair in the center of the room. She was dangling her legs off the chair and fidgeting with them, staring at her feet. 'Useless lumps of tissue...' she thought to herself.

She was yellow in color, with a blue vest covering her whole torso. She had thin legs, but an average sized torso and arms. Her head, which had horns pointing straight up, was egg shaped. She was bored, and it showed on her face. If one concentrated on her right glove, they would notice the bump on her palm. She was restless.

She was created awhile after NiGHTS and Reala, and thus was usually seen as one of the inferior 'Maren, despite her 1st level rank. She usually hadn't minded, until today. Today, all the others created before her had gone on an Ideya hunt, or maybe a hunt for NiGHTS. She really didn't care. What she DID care about, however, was that she had not been allowed to come due to her inferiority.

She had tried to reason with them. “You must realize,” she had said, “That with my clone, I could cover more distance! It would be like having two of me along instead of just one!” But no, “Master” Wizeman simply ignored her, and tossed her aside with his upper right hand. Before leaving, she heard him mutter something along the lines of “You ask me too much.” So here she was, locked up in her own room.

It was, according to her Waking world clock, the middle of the day, so dreamers were rare, although she had gotten one or two. Still, this meant that she couldn't do either of her favorite things: Sleep or fly. She couldn't sleep because there were more dreamers today, and she was one of the only 'maren left. She couldn't fly because she had accidentally hit a wall last time, and was recovering. So all she could do all day until the other 'Maren returned was dangle her feet, scare the occasional visitor, steal the even more rare White Ideya.

She didn't even know why they needed more White Ideya. It wasn't like they didn't have enough already. But, such is the life of an inferior 'Maren. She couldn't even wander the castle that easily, as her feet were useless. She had never used them before, and was not about to now. To speak to “Master” Wizeman, she had to get an even MORE inferior 'Maren to take her to see him! She felt ashamed.

Her name was Micorp, and she knew that this was going to be a long, boring day.

That is a very desriptive fanfiction you have so far. You made Micorp very intresting without her even doing anything. I am very impressed.

Thanks. The next one is a bit like this one, but she starts actually doing things after that one.

Okay, but I am still impressed that you could do that. I think that Micorp is a very interesting Maren.

Thanks. That's what I try to do with my characters.

EDIT: I have changed the dates of when I post this to Thursdays and Mondays. This way, the fact that I posted the first one on Thursday makes sense, or at least more sense than just "in between some Mondays." This also means that I have as much time to write chapters as possible while still releasing 2 a week.

Here we go. This is one of my shorter ones, but it might be good. The plot really picks up in the next one.

Chapter 2: The 'Maren return

Micorp stared out the door to her room. She had stopped dangling her feet long ago, and since then has been fidgeting with some of the things she had collected over the years of her existence. It was better than fidgeting with her feet, anyway. She then heard many voices and the sound of footsteps, and watched the search party return. Jackle-- the little annoyance-- was among them, and had that stupid little grin of his. Except it was wider than usual.

She hated Jackle. Hated him beyond belief. That little second level brat thought that because he was older, he was better! SHE was the first level 'Maren, not that stupid little pile of laundry! It seemed that his only goal in life was to annoy her! She hated that little brat, and made a mental note to steal some of his cards when she could fly again. She heard a loud cry, and saw Gillwing. He glanced into her room, mumbled something in whatever language it was that he spoke, and flew off again.

Micorp liked Gillwing. And Clawz. In fact, she liked most of the Animaren. They all seemed to like her as well. She liked them because most of them would let her talk to her without saying anything rude like “Wow. You actually did that?” Or “You're such an idiot!” She thought this was because the Animaren weren't created for intelligence, just fierceness. However, she hated Chamelon. He reminded her too much of Jackle. She made a mental note to steal his cards as well.

Whenever she had no other 'Maren to talk to, she released her clone. Micorp had the unique ability to clone herself, but only to make one clone. They shared energy, however, so it made her weaker. Still, talking to the clone got boring sometimes, as they shared a brain. If 'Maren had brains. Do they? She made a mental note to ask someone about that after stealing Jackle and Chamelon's cards. Also, she shouldn't so this too often, as it drained her energy. Not that you need much energy to talk all day.

So anyway, the clone always agreed with her, never offering anything new to the table. That's the only thing she liked about the other Humaren. They all had something new to bring to the table. Mental note: Invite the other Humaren to dinner at a table. Tell them all to bring something. Except Jackle. Then again, he would still be mourning the loss of his cards. Invite Jackle, then make a lot of subtle remarks about cards. Play card games. If they get into a disagreement, tell them to dray cards. Whoever got the ace first wins. Don't let Jackle near any of the cards. Make a lot of torso comments. Have Jackle sit at the door, so she can talk through him-- literally!-- to anyone outside if she needs to.

Yeah, that'll give him something to cackle about!

Here's chapter 3! Yay for something actually happening in this one! Yay!

Chapter 3: The Mission

Micorp was in her room, waiting for something to do. She had recovered a long time ago, and decided against the dinner idea. Almost all of the Humaren annoyed her, anyway. She had been thinking. 'Is Wizeman really doing the right thing here? Should I really trust him? I don't like this anymore.' She kept thinking about it to herself, and had even let the last dreamers dream without her turning it into a nightmare.

She had also been thinking of NiGHTS, the first 'Maren to rebel against Wizeman. He'd done it. Why not her? She thought about it, until a messenger 'Maren flew into her room. She looked at it with disdain. third level, simple little minion. She considered paralooping it, but then thought again. That would have Wizeman coming down on her with at least on of those weird hands of his. She decided to listen to the simple minion.

“Master Wizeman wants you to go to him right now!” The little minion exclaimed. It had a bug-like voice, mixed with one of those double voices, like the one Bomamba had. Stupid Witch... Micorp hated that voice. DESPISED it, in fact. It was almost annoying as Jackle's voice.

Speaking of the annoying little pile of clothing, she was beginning to remember that she hadn't stolen his cards yet. After that, she remembered that she had decided against it because she was beginning to suspect that he had an infinite amount of cards. It would be impossible to get all--

“Hello?” The annoying little voice cut into her thoughts. She remembered what was going on. “Master Wizeman--”

“Yes, yes, I heard you the first time!” Her cat-like voice cut in. “I was just thinking about something, ok?” 'Something this little idiot could never do...' She added to silently. She got up, stretched, and flew down to Handman's chambers. Or whatever they were called, she really didn't care. Mr. Hands was really starting to annoy her. She knocked on the door, and it creaked open. She took that as an invitation to come in, and did just that.

Mr. Handman stared at her with three of his six hands, the other three staring off into space as usual. “You are late,” he announced, as though anyone in the area-- herself and Handman-- didn't know.

She made another mental note that calling him Handman instead of his real name was fun. “It's not my fault you sent a slow minion to fetch me,” She remarked.

“It was not slow, you were just slow to react!” His booming voice... boomed.

“Yeah, it kinda interrupted me right in the middle of an important thought,” She replied.

“We can discuss who's fault it is when you get back,” Handman said, as though the previous event had never happened.

This caught Micorp by surprise. “Get back? Get back from what?”

“Why, your mission, of course. Your mission to find and destroy NiGHTS, or at least bring him back.”

I just love the part about stealing cards from Jackle. I sure hopes that it happens int he fanfiction. The cliffhanger is also nice too.

Thanks, and although I don't have that planned out in the story right now, it might happen.

This one is short.

Chapter 4: Rebellion

“NiGHTS? ARE YOU CRAZY??!!” She yelled. “NiGHTS is the “undefeatable” maren! NiGHTS is the 'Maren who defeated you twice! NiGHTS is the--”

“You don't need to tell me about NiGHTS, I know more about him than you do,” Handman retorted coldly. “You can clone yourself. Use that to corner him.”

“I'll try,” She said, trying not to let the sarcasm show. Apparently, Handman didn't notice. He never did. He never heard the sarcasm. Then again, he didn't have ears, so how could he hear? She didn't either, how could she hear? Most of the Humaren had no ears, and they could hear fine. Puffy, on the other hand, had giant ears, and she was deaf as a Nightopian at Spring Valley! Or at least, she acted like it. Mental note: Find out how Nightmaren hear things without ears. She turned to leave--

“One last thing,” Handman said, the old fire in his tone. “Don't disappoint me.”

She nodded silently, and left. First, his chambers. Then, the castle.

'I'm rebelling!' She thought to herself outside of the castle. 'I'm tired of Handman! And all those other Maren! It's so boring there, and Handman's evil!'

Then Nightmare, and finally Wizeman's rule. Micorp was now a rebel.

“Stupid Wizeman . . .” She muttered. “he thinks he's so great, and he can take on all of Nightopia and the Waking World. Not if Micorp has anything to say about it! I might as well fulfill half of the mission anyway.” With that, she set off to find NiGHTS.

And to find someone to help her defeat Wizeman. Or at least help her hide. She didn't really care which.

She flew in segments. Fly for a bit, rest. Fly, rest. Her 2 favorite things to do, and she got to do both! This more than made up for that one time when the other 'Maren went on a search party. Especially since she now realized the errors of the ways of a 'Maren. She kept flying, drill dashing and paralooping when she got bored. So, in other words, hardly ever.

I am not supirsed that Micorp rebleld against Wizeman. It seems like it's in her character to do that. Especally since she dislikes most of the nightmarens.

Yeah, I didn't expect anyone to be surprised.

Note: Due to me being very busy today and yesterday, the release date has been postponed to Saturday, or I might do it today. Sorry.

Edit: Ignore this post, I can't delete it for some reason.

Sorry about the delay.

Chapter 5: 'Pians

Micorp had been flying for HOURS now. Well... it felt like hours, anyway. She really didn't care. Anyway, she got tired of flying, so she set down by a large lake. She looked around to see some petrified Nightopians-- what's their nickname? 'Topians? Nightos? 'Pians- ah, yes, that's it. “Pians, they were called.--staring at her. “What?” She asked, as if they would answer her.

They kept staring. A few of them started vibrating, but then they stopped. Eventually, one of them picked up a blue orb-- blue orb?-- and chucked it at her. She paralooped it, and it went at her. She heard some weird noise that sounded almost like a piano key as it disappeared upon touching her. The 'Pians seemed to somehow obtain great joy from this... blue... orb... collecting business. Not that she cared. She then saw one point to the sky.

She followed the finger and saw some golden... ring... things. 'Wait,' she thought. 'Golden rings? Doesn't NiGHTS fly by these? I guess I'll... entertain the fairies until he arrives.' With that she took out the blue orb and chucked it lightly at a 'Pian. This almost caught it by surprise, but it caught the orb thing just in time. This caused it to chirp happily.

Micorp didn't have much experience with these Nightopians. Nightmaren are supposed to scare them, not play with them. But, she wasn't a normal 'Maren anymore, so she decided that it couldn't hurt. They kept playing their ball game, until she and the 'Pian both got bored. The others had left now. So she drifted off to sleep.

When Micorp awoke, she looked around to see that the 'Pian had cuddled up next to her and was sleeping happily. “Aww...” She said, 'It's so cute!' She could hear it making sounds in its sleep. 'Do 'Pians dream?' She asked her mind. 'Mental note: Find someone knowledgeable on the subject of 'Pians. Ask if 'Pians dream, or if they have dreamless, nightmare lacking sleep like us 'Maren.'

She watched it sleep for awhile, until it started making odd noises and woke up. It looked around, saw her, and was petrified again. Then, it remembered who she was, and flew up onto her head. It sat there for a bit, and she watched it. 'Maybe they aren't so bad...' the considered. She picked it up and cradled it in her arms. It seemed to obtain great joy from this, so she continued until it got bored. She then set it down.

It looked at her expectantly. “What?” She asked. “What is it?” It opened its mouth, and pointed a finger in its mouth. “Talk?” It shook its head. “Barf?” It didn't seem to know this word. “Food?” Its eyes brightened, and it nodded, smiling. “Ok, let's see...” She said. There had to be food around here somewhere. Then she saw it: A fruit tree. She flew up to the top and searched through the fruit. “Not ripe, not ripe, ahh- there!” She said, plucking an especially juicy looking fruit. She set down by the 'Pian and offered the fruit.

The 'Pian seemed delighted at this, and started munching on the fruit. She smiled at it, waiting for it to finish. It finally finished the fruit, and let out a tiny burp. It smelled wretched. 'Well, no one's perfect...' she thought to herself. Then, it struck her. 'Golden rings? Blue orbs? That meant--'

She didn't even have time to get out of the way as NiGHTS drill dashed right into her.

Aw, what a cute chapter! Micorp seemed to like the Nightopians a lot.
