Parallel Lunar Shadow.

---------------------------------------------------------
This is going to be a long thread so please bear with me. This
covers the first draft for "Parallel Lunar Shadow" which started
from an idea to finish Lunar Shadow back when "Kim Tyranto" (aka
Cibryll) was absent for 2 years and nobody was sure if she was
ever coming back or not. As such, most of the content was
created long before I had a better understand of how Cave Story
modding worked and before my work on the Lunar Shadow Wiki hence
why it lacks some things from the actual mod.
That said, this is a long thread so each post will be cover the
various sections of both booklets starting with the first one.

Parallel Lunar Shadow Page 2
Ideas/Changes
- Sycor, Grialdyn and Azehr are now more connected. Grialdyn and
Azehr were made by the Castle Master to created advanced
guardians, ones that could turn invisible and absorb darkness.
- Sycor can turn invisible but cannot absorb darkness. Though it
can fire energy blasts and use it's orbitars to reduce received
damage. However turning it's orbitars from green to orange
increases received damage. It's invisibility automatically
occurs after using a certain attack.
- Grialdyn was once it became clear that Sycor's powers weren't
as advanced as first thought. The Castle Master had taken an
ancient defence system and updated it to enhance it's power. It
can turn invisible, absorb darkness and use it's orbitars to
attack below it. It can only be damaged once it's chest glows.
- Azehr was the finalized version of Project Fadeaway which was
to create a perfect mechanical guardian who can go invisible at
will. Azehr also had the power to alter the time of day (i.e
from Day, Midday, Night, Midnight), which it could manifest by
switching between it's forms. Unlike Grialdyn whose visibility
could be affected by a switch, Azehr could go truly invisible at
will.
- Sycor and Grialdyn now have divergent designs. Of course, all
the major characters will be getting redesigns.
- The Lunar Soul Castle will be redesigned with several of the
rooms being reordered or changed outright.
- The story will be expanded upon because Parallel Lunar Shadow
has no official prequels.

Parallel Lunar Shadow
Page 3: Ideas Changes/Entrance
- The final boss goes from Aidan -> Deathorb MK: II (1-3 Phases)
to Ashen Flamberge -> The Eternal Darkness -> Deathorb MK: II
(Buzzsaws)
- Aidan uses the Muscle Doctor's A.I, T.E.D uses Ballos 1's A.I
and both phases of Deathorb MK:II use Ballos 3 and Ballos 2's
A.I.
- The game has multiple endings: One for turning left at the
start (Serenity Turns Back), for dying to Valkyrie Horton
(Mother and Child), wearing the Dark Armour at the final boss
(Forced Betrayal), choosing to absorb the Castle Master's Soul
instead of destroying it (Castle Master Serenity)*, destroying
the Castle Master's soul (End of Darkness), losing to Lunar
Shadow (The Greater Evil)* and defeating Lunar Shadow (End of
Lunar Shadow)*.
- * = New Endings
- The game is seperated into 3 acts.
ACT 1:
- ENTRANCE
- Serenity makes her move, venturing inside the castle
(Entrance).
- Fight with Xyz, game's first mini-boss.
- More exploration around the Entrance.
- Serenity fights Shinica, the latter having sent Scarlet
(formerly Crimdine) away via Thundaga. The player gains the Map
as a reward.
- Next area is accessable, though Serenity can access Entrance's
Warp Door.

Page 4: Reservoir
- RESERVOIR
- Serenity can now venture into the Reservoir which has a lot of
water.
- The Oxygan Aura (formerly Air Tank) can be learned, allowing
Serenity to breath underwater indefinitely.
- Serenity comes across a tunnel, which houses Micren, the
game's second miniboss and one of the Twin-Bio Weapons.
- After the Micren battle, Serenity can explore some more.
She'll eventually fall into another room.
- Shinica appears and then Irving shows up. She tries to use
Tri-Thundaga only to anger Irving (instead of doing nothing
originally).
- The player obtains Misery's End, a pink knife-like weapon that
creates energy projectiles to damage foes.
- The player fights Irving with their new weapon. Serenity must
make use of the air vents to avoid Irving and strike him when
his mouth opens.
- The Laboratory can now be accessed, though Serenity can also
access the Reservoir's Warp Door.

Parallel Lunar Shadow
Page 5: Laboratory
- LABORATORY
- The Laboratory appears mostly abandoned, with spikes and
enemies being the main feature.
- Serenity goes further, eventually reaching a room which has
multiple bodies.
- The third miniboss Bodysnatcher has a special gimmick: when
it's defeated, it switches to a stronger body. Destroy all 4
bodies to end the fight.
- Further in, Serenity has to deal with coloured water (with
differing effects), spikes and enemies. Fortunately, Serenity
gains a new weapon. One which creates projectiles that reflect
off enemies.
- Much to Serenity (and the player)'s relief, the Laboratory has
a Warp Room. Use it to return to the Outer Warp Room or the Warp
Doors leading to the Entrance or Reservoir. The Warp Door for
the Laboratory is also here.
- The player leaves the Warp Room and ventures upward. Shinica
greets Serenity before gloating that Sycor will make short work
of her.
- Sycor introduces himself before challenging Serenity to a
fight. Sycor is Act 1's hardest boss and will crush those who
come unprepared.
- Once Sycor goes down, he'll reveal that the Castle Master
plans to create a mechanical army that'll raze Newerth to the
ground.
- Serenity reminds the player to save, fearing the worst up
ahead.
- Turns out there's a trap ahead rigged to activate should Sycor
fall.
- Once Serenity escapes the Laboratory, the Castle Master,
speaks revealing that he knows a lot about Serenity. This
concludes ACT 1, with the game asking you if you want to save.

Page 6: Tower
ACT 2:
- TOWER
- Serenity starts out in the Tower which requires her to work
her way upwards.
- Once she reaches the top, she'll find a save point. After
that, she fights the fourth miniboss Tiamat who breathes fire
and can split into 2 smaller dragons.
- Once Tiamat falls, the player can choose between the Left
Tower and the Right Tower. Where Tiamat once stood is now the
Warp Door for the Tower (Centre).

Parallel Lunar Shadow
Page 6: Left Tower
- LEFT TOWER
- Serenity goes left. The tower has blue tron lines and has
various electrical floors that will damage Serenity on contact.
In addition, fatal spikes appear and will 1HKO Serenity on
contact.
- Serenity encounters the Left Tower miniboss Repose, a girl who
is a dark skinned clone of Serenity with scars. Upon her death,
she reveals that Valkyrie's DNA was used to create clones of
her.
- After Repose's demise, Serenity ventures into a room with
several terminals. These terminals change the music playing
during the fight with Irving and Micren. The Twin Bioweapons
fight is optional. (covered in the Optional Content section)
- Serenity ignores the optional room to her left and ventures
upwards into a short maze-like room (which has optional
goodies).
- Shinica is here, but is now questioning herself. She decides
to fight Serenity to avenge Repose's death and for her pride.
- Shinica leaves, swearing revenge. Serenity ends up gaining the
Sun Emblem and a door to the Tower opens up.
- Once the Left Tower is conquered, there will be two doors: one
of the Centre Tower and one for the Left Tower.

Page 7: Right Tower
- RIGHT TOWER
- Serenity goes right. The tower has red tron lines and has
various burning floors that will damage Serenity on contact. In
addition, fatal spikes appear and will 1HKO Serenity on contact.
- Serenity encounters the Right Tower miniboss Tranquillity, a
girl whose skin is slightly darker and looks like a bride. Upon
her death, she reveals herself to be a clone created from
Valkyrie's DNA.
- After Tranquillity's death, Serenity ventures into a room with
several terminals. These terminals can be used to change Sycor's
battle theme. Sycor II is optional (covered in the Optional
Content section).
- Serenity ignores the optional room to her right and ventures
upwards into a short maze-like room (with optional goodies). Go
up to the room at the upper right.
- Scarlet is here, gleeful at the opportunity to immolate you.
She's mad that you killed her pets XYZ, Micren and Irving, the
latter she loaned to Shinica. When asked about Tranquillity, she
tells Serenity that Tranquillity was defective.
- Scarlet is defeated and swears revenge. Serenity nabs the Moon
Emblem and a door to the Tower opens up.
- Once the Right Tower is conquered, there will be two doors:
one of the Centre Tower and one for the Right Tower.

Parallel Lunar Shadow
Page 8: Centre Tower
- CENTRE TOWER
- With both Left and Right Tower conquered, all 3 doors are
present. A new path at the top opens up..
- Serenity ventures into a ghostly white room with a Warp Room
at the right and a Clock Room at the left.
- The Warp Room contains the Warp Doors for all 3 sections of
the Tower and two doors for the Outer Warp Room and the
Laboratory Warp Room.
- The Clock Room is optional. Here you can either make Grialdyn
invisible (night) or visible (day) via the Clock Switch. There
are also 3 treasures, one of which is the Vorpal Queen (a dark
weapon that cannot be used but can be fused with Misery's End,
covered in Optional Content)
- Shinica tells Serenity that the Castle Master was interested
in this ancient security system and hopes it'll kill Serenity.
- Grialdyn appears, introducing itself. The dialogue changes
slightly if he's invisible. Either way, Serenity must do battle
with Grialdyn and it's the toughest battle in ACT 2 so prepare.
- Grialdyn is defeated and burns up, exploding. This gives
Shinica burns which can be cured with a Life Pot (if you still
have it).
- The Castle Master speaks, wondering how Serenity could have
defeated Grialdyn. Serenity bites back, telling the Castle
Master that she will defeat them. This concludes ACT 2, with the
game asking if the player wishes to save or not.

Page 9: Servant Quarters
- SERVANT QUARTERS
- Serenity is here! Now in the Servant Quarters, she'll have to
fight or avoid the various Servants. If she has the Servant's
Outfit, the Servants will refuse to attack and may offer hints.
- To unlock the door leading to the upper area, Serenity will
need to insert the Sun, Day, Moon and Night Emblems into the
correct terminals. Get it wrong and Serenity is impaled by fatal
spikes.
- At the left is the Password Room. It can be used to unlock the
Sea Zone, Zone of Confusion T and Myst Zone T. It also has the
Sun Filter (needed to fuse with the Lunar Sickle).
- At the right is a room where downward is a Rest Room,
containing the Warp Door for Servant Quarters and a Save Point.
Upward leads to a room with musky poisonous air. Thankfully
Serenity's Oxygen Aura protects her.
- Suddenly a giant green tank shows up. It is the source of the
poisonous gas and attacks. Valkyrie X is the only boss of
Servant Quarters and hits hard. However the Lunar Sickle will
come in handy.
- Valkyrie X is deactivated. It turns out the tank has Valkyrie
Horton as it's power source. Serenity and her mother have a
reunion before Serenity is forced to kill her. The constant pain
Valkyrie is put through has destroyed her will to live. You can
die here to obtain the Mother and Child ending or kill her to
continue the story.
- Valkyrie has her last words, then grants her daughter the
ability to fly. With Valkyrie's Soul, Serenity can now fly. Use
this to move quickly and obtain previously unobtainable items.
- Serenity warns the player to save before venturing to the
final section of the Lunar Soul Castle.
