Parallel Lunar Shadow.
By: King (2.0) Date: January 23, 2021, 6:33 am
---------------------------------------------------------
[font=verdana]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.[/font]
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
[list]
[li]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.[/li]
[li]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.[/li]
[/list][list]
[li]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.[/li]
[li]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.[/li]
[/list][list]
[li]Sycor and Grialdyn now have divergent designs. Of course,
all the major characters will be getting redesigns.[/li]
[li]The Lunar Soul Castle will be redesigned with several of
the rooms being reordered or changed outright.[/li]
[li]The story will be expanded upon because Parallel Lunar
Shadow has no official prequels.[/li]
[/list]

Parallel Lunar Shadow
Page 3: Ideas Changes/Entrance
[list]
[li]The final boss goes from Aidan -> Deathorb MK: II (1-3
Phases) to Ashen Flamberge -> The Eternal Darkness -> Deathorb
MK: II (Buzzsaws) [/li]
[li]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.[/li]
[li]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)*.[/li]
[li]* = New Endings[/li]
[li]The game is seperated into 3 acts.[/li]
[/list] ACT 1:
[list]
[li]ENTRANCE[/li]
[li]Serenity makes her move, venturing inside the castle
(Entrance).[/li]
[li]Fight with Xyz, game's first mini-boss.[/li]
[li]More exploration around the Entrance.[/li]
[li]Serenity fights Shinica, the latter having sent Scarlet
(formerly Crimdine) away via Thundaga. The player gains the Map
as a reward.[/li]
[li]Next area is accessable, though Serenity can access
Entrance's Warp Door.[/li]
[/list]

[font=verdana]Parallel Lunar Shadow[/font]
[font=verdana]Page 4: Reservoir
[/font][list]
[li][font=verdana]RESERVOIR[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Serenity can now venture into the Reservoir
which has a lot of water.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]The Oxygan Aura (formerly Air Tank) can be
learned, allowing Serenity to breath underwater
indefinitely.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Serenity comes across a tunnel, which houses
Micren, the game's second miniboss and one of the Twin-Bio
Weapons.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]After the Micren battle, Serenity can explore
some more. She'll eventually fall into another room.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Shinica appears and then Irving shows up. She
tries to use Tri-Thundaga only to anger Irving (instead of doing
nothing originally).[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]The player obtains Misery's End, a pink
knife-like weapon that creates energy projectiles to damage
foes.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]The Laboratory can now be accessed, though
Serenity can also access the Reservoir's Warp Door.[/font][/li]
[/list]

[font=verdana]Parallel Lunar Shadow[/font]
[font=verdana]Page 5: Laboratory
[/font][list]
[li][font=verdana]LABORATORY[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]The Laboratory appears mostly abandoned, with
spikes and enemies being the main feature.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Serenity goes further, eventually reaching a
room which has multiple bodies.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[/list][list]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]The player leaves the Warp Room and ventures
upward. Shinica greets Serenity before gloating that Sycor will
make short work of her.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Sycor introduces himself before challenging
Serenity to a fight. Sycor is Act 1's hardest boss and will
crush those who come unprepared.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Once Sycor goes down, he'll reveal that the
Castle Master plans to create a mechanical army that'll raze
Newerth to the ground.[/font][/li]
[/list][list]
[li][font=verdana]Serenity reminds the player to save, fearing
the worst up ahead.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Turns out there's a trap ahead rigged to
activate should Sycor fall.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]

[font=verdana]Page 6: Tower
ACT 2:[/font][list]
[li][font=verdana]TOWER[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Serenity starts out in the Tower which
requires her to work her way upwards.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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).[/font][/li]

[font=verdana]Parallel Lunar Shadow[/font]
[font=verdana]Page 6: Left Tower
[/font][list]
[li][font=verdana]LEFT TOWER[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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)[/font][/li]
[/list][list]
[li][font=verdana]Serenity ignores the optional room to her
left and ventures upwards into a short maze-like room (which has
optional goodies).[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Shinica is here, but is now questioning
herself. She decides to fight Serenity to avenge Repose's death
and for her pride.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Shinica leaves, swearing revenge. Serenity
ends up gaining the Sun Emblem and a door to the Tower opens
up.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Once the Left Tower is conquered, there will
be two doors: one of the Centre Tower and one for the Left
Tower.[/font][/li]
[/list]

[font=verdana]Parallel Lunar Shadow[/font]
[font=verdana]Page 7: Right Tower
[/font][list]
[li][font=verdana]RIGHT TOWER[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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).[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Scarlet is defeated and swears revenge.
Serenity nabs the Moon Emblem and a door to the Tower opens
up.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Once the Right Tower is conquered, there will
be two doors: one of the Centre Tower and one for the Right
Tower.[/font][/li]
[/list]

[font=verdana]Parallel Lunar Shadow[/font]
[font=verdana]Page 8: Centre Tower[/font]
[list]
[li][font=verdana]CENTRE TOWER[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]With both Left and Right Tower conquered, all
3 doors are present. A new path at the top opens
up..[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Serenity ventures into a ghostly white room
with a Warp Room at the right and a Clock Room at the
left.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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)[/font][/li]
[/list][list]
[li][font=verdana]Shinica tells Serenity that the Castle Master
was interested in this ancient security system and hopes it'll
kill Serenity.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Grialdyn is defeated and burns up, exploding.
This gives Shinica burns which can be cured with a Life Pot (if
you still have it).[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]

[font=verdana]Page 9: Servant Quarters[/font]
[list]
[li][font=verdana]SERVANT QUARTERS[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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).[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[/list][list]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]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.[/font][/li]
[li][font=verdana]Serenity warns the player to save before
venturing to the final section of the Lunar Soul
Castle.[/font][/li]
