I will be writing the first chapter of the ski lodge tonight! By the time this publishes, it should be out by  tomorrow .   The first chapter will be a little slow, unlike the fast paced plot I'm planning for the rest of this thread, so you will still be able to join after it, but you have to hurry! 

Hey everyone! Here's the first chapter. Now, because I don't know all of you, those of you who have not written a packing list and a personality description, please do so.

~Day One~

"Are we there yet?" Spyro growls, as he looks around the private jet Ema Wolf had sent for them. 

"Oh be quiet," Autumn mumbles. "I've been to Wolf Labs before. The entrance should be just ahead. Let's just hope that the storm didn't send us off track."

Destiny is asleep in the back of the jet, the twelve hour flight really hit her hard. Hotairballoon and Ronan are playing cards impatiently across from Cinderpelt, who is agruing with Yellowfang. Let's just say everyone is tired of being cramped up in a jet, even if it is a very nice jet. 

While everyone else is just being bored, or trying to figure out how the TVs work, Steph and Elementgirl are searching the refrigerator for SOMETHING to make their stomachs stop growling. 

"There it is! The landing strip!" Autumn pointed out the window. 

The second the plane lands, Brooklyn Newsie rushes to the door. "Out! Out! Need out now!" She bends down and hugs the pale sand. "Why did the entrance have to be in the middle of the ocean?" 

Anna shrugs as she hops off the plane. 

The second Icy gets out of the plane, she dashes over to the plants like a rabbit on roller blades. "What kind of plants are those? They are glowing! In the daytime! I have to write this down. I may have just discovered a new plant!"

"Or one that Ema invented,"  Newsie suggests. 

"Come on, let's find the entrance. I don't know about you, but those pudding cups and chocolate covered strawberries didn't really settle my stomach," Elementgirl announces.

"I think it's somewhere around- yikes!" Autumn shouts as she gets sucked into the ground. 

Tina yelps, "Haas thre been mrdr alrd?"

"No, no. No murders have happened. Nothing like that can happen here," Speakers around the island whine, and injure everyone's poor ears. "Autumn Leaves just found the entrance, that's all. Come on in!" 

The CBers look at each other worridly, but jump down, one by one. Sorting into many large tubes, they all get shot straight down like they are in some kind of waterslide. They get thrown through loops and jumps and curves. While some of the CBers are enjoying themselves, most of them are terrified. Next thing they know they are standing on solid white ground. 

Everyone looks around in wonder at the futuristic look of the room they are in. It's all white, but everything seems to have either a blue or pink outline. Soon, patterns and colors are splashed over everything until it looks like a normal room.

"Sorry about that," A kind of tall girl says cheerfully, in a twinkly voice. "I forgot to go ahead and shift the room to what it was supposed to be. That right there was Room Shift technology. You will all have that tech in the rooms you will be staying in." 

Now that they are walking out of the room, the CBers are able to get a better look at this stranger. She has white eyes, white hair with blue and pink streaks, pale skin (probably from being underground for a long time) and she seems slightly skinny.

"How big is this place?" Spyro asks the girl. 

"Oh," She thinks for a second. "I don't really know. We are in a mansion though, so it is quite big. I'd say it's probably about the size of a resort. Yeah, it's really big. And that's only counting the mansion, not the lab."

Yellowfang hisses, "Can we stop talking about how big this place is, and all that, and instead actually go and see the person who has invited us here?"

"Oh but you already have. I'm Ema Wolf. Now, would you rather stand here and chat, or get a tour?" Ema replies quickly. 

"As long as there's food involved," Elementgirl whispers, clutching her stomach.

Ema nods. "Of course. Now come on, there's a lot to see." She presses a button and everyone is sucked up into more tubes. 

They get dropped off into some kind of main room. 

"This is the travel room. You come here from your own bedrooms..." Ema points to a hallway just a few yards away from the CBers. "And you can go anywhere you like, but you should always have a guard or an escort with you in case you get lost." Ema whispers something else under her breath, but the CBers can't hear it. "Anyway, you press these buttons to go someplace, and the button on the remotes we are about to give you to return here, or to your room." 

"This place is so fancy!" Desitny comments.

"Yes it is. Now, don't go to any of the places with the pink lightbulb next to it, those places either are private, or contain sensitive and/or classified information and objects. For your own safety, just stay with the blue rooms, OK?" A tall man with black hair says.

"Hello Conner. This is your Butler. He will help.you with anything you all need. I'd suggest you try to call him only when needed, he is already very busy."

**Time skip**

After a long your of the mansion, the CBers are exhausted.

Ema, with the same amount of energy she has possessed for the whole tour asks everyone, "Would you like to see the lab?" 

Anna shakes her head. "NOOO. We're beat."

"Ah I see. Well if anyone wants to come they can. Just call me through the your button devices we gave you. Now, since you all are so tired, go look at the sheet of paper in the hall. It will tell you which room you are assigned. You will either be in the Water, Air, Earth or Fire room, so go and look before you start unpacking. I'll see you guys later." At that, Ema gets shot out somewhere by a tube, into a room with a pink light.

"Hey Spyro," Hotairballoon whispers. "Don't you think that Ema girl is a little strange?"

"Yeah," Spyro replies. "She seems to have a lot of energy, even though it's so late. She's also really young to have a mansion of her own. And that Conner guy isn't much better. Something's off about him."

Autumn Leaves looks through the page. "Well, looks like I'm in the Earth room. You guys have fun. I'm going to read."

Cinderpelt nods. "I'm going to my room too. I'll see you guys later." She walks into her room, which is, oddly enough, the fire room.

Icy talks to herself, "I'm in the water room. I think Ema is sorting us by our closest element, therefore Hotairballoon would go in the air room, but where does Elementgirl go? Hmmm. Interesting." She continues to ponder as she goes to her room.

~End of day one, or is it?~ 

I hope I'm not too lateeeeee!!! *flies into room clumsily*

I'm just bringing Chip, my brown longhaired mouse CAPTCHA, and a black frying pan that automatically seasons your food. (Frying pans can be weapons, right?) I'll also bring a very flat pillow, a thick green/flowery blanket, some bland white socks that I'll probably never wear, and (along with my normal clothing) a tan shirt that says Lake Lelillo on it. ;P 

Good day, cbers. 

I am Umbra Luna, Ema's assistant, and I shall be your guide today, and quite possibly on many other occasions.

One other thing before we begin our journey together: If you have noticed the oddness of my name, you are correct. My name holds the key to my past, which is tied to my present. I'm sure one of you clever Cbers will figure it out sooner or later.

Thank you for allowing me to give you a tour of this wonderful, completely safe lab! 

(Oh, yes, and Micearenice, thank you for joining us! Of course you may come along! We're so glad to have you!)

Part Two, Day One~

"Attention all Cbers, AEs, dragons, mice, and other assorted creatures! Please gather in the travel room for a tour of Wolf Lab's marvelous laboratory!" A cool, female voice wafts through the speakers, and all of the cbers, AEs, dragons, mice, and other assorted creatures stand up and walk towards the doors that will lead them towards the travel room.

Inside the room stands a tall, slim figure with jet black hair, dark blue eyes, plastic framed blue glasses, and formal, dark blue clothing. Beside her stands a petite teenager with light brown hair who is clutching a frying pan in one hand and gently cradling the mouse in the other.

Icy and Steph shoot out of a double waterslide that suddenly extends from the wall. Steph instantly begins squeezing water out of her long, blonde hair, while Icy simply freezes it and shakes her head, causing small icicles to hit the ground with a small plink.

HAB, Spyro, Destiny, and Ember come flying out of the ceiling next. The two Cbers come floating down in parachutes, while Ember and Spyro simply flap their wings and drift serenely to the floor. (Spyro's a dragon, right HAB? Also, it's ok if I call you that, right?) Both of the cbers struggle with their parachutes for a moment when they land, before Spyro saves them the trouble and burns them, sending fire-extinguishing foam all over the place......

Which is rather pointless since, two seconds later, Cinderpelt, Yellowfang, Elementgirl and Anna burst into the room, accompanied by a Fall Out Boy track screaming  Light it up up up in the fiyaaaaaah!!  and a tornado of flames The room is instantly engulfed in more foam, and someone (probably Spyro) can be heard laughing their heads off. 

In the chaos, Newsie, Autumn and Ronan (Tina just flies) swing in on a vine that drops from the ceiling yelling Tarzan-sounding-things, adding to the chaos.

Then, a voice cuts through the pandemonium. "Enough! Will you please direct your attention to the center of the room and STOP trying to eat the foam!" (This directed at Tina) Instantly, the foam evaporates, and the cbers (and company) are left staring at Umbra, who is holding a megaphone and looking annoyed and slightly flustered. She takes a deep breath, appears to calm herself, and continues.

"Welcome, Cbers, AEs, and assorted animal friends to Wolf Labs. First of all, I would like to introduce someone new joining us; Miceandrice." The girl tugs on Umbra's arm and whispers something, and Umbra says "Sorry, Micearenice." The rest of the Cbers applaud politely. Umbra continues. "I am glad you have made yourself" this accompanied by a barely concealed sigh "At home. I've called you all here for the laboratory tour. Please follow me and DON'T touch anything.".  The slightly subdued Cbers (I say slightly and cbers; I do not believe it can be applied to the rest of the party) follow her through a large set of white double doors that slide apart soundlessly for the cbers to enter. 

Once they step through, however, even the rowdiest AE is momentarily silenced. The laboratory is inside a huge, circular room. Overhead soars a giant rotunda, and below is spread out rows upon rows of white shelves containing unimaginable wonders. Jars of glowing liquids, strange, vibrating stones, living plants, and something that looks like a sentiant blob of jelly sit in neatly orginized boxes. Work stations are set up all over the lab. 

Umbra leads the dumbstruck group down the stairs. "Now, remember everyone; stay together and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING." Over the next hour, the cbers are given a tour of the wonders of the lab. Thankfully, nothing terrible happens (Well, except for Chip diving into the living blob of goo. Thankfully, both Bob and the mouse were saved, and nobody was injured.) Then, as they reach the end of the building, Umbra stops the group to address them. "Ladies and gentleman, I will now present to you the most amazing feat of wolf labs. What you are about to see will astound all the sciencey types here." 90% of the group instantly zone out and start looking for something to poke. Umbra raises her hand in the air. "Inside this building is the world's first...... fusion reactor!" The 10% of the group that knows what she is talking about instantly erupt in a volley of questions, but Umbra raises her hand, silencing them. "You will get to see it first hand! But first, you need to put on these special protection suits. There's very lethal gamma radiation in there." Spyro perks up and the word radiation. "Really? That's exactly how I wanted to spend my weekend!" HAB shoots him a strange look. "I thought you were being sarcastic."  Spyro just grins.

Umbra sends groups of four. In the first group are the most enthusiastic about the reactor; namely, Icy, Ronan, Steph, and Spryo. Umbra gives them careful instructions before opening the airlock and sending them in. Instantly, all the other Cbers rush over to the nearby computer moniters to watch their progress.

The two Cbers and two AEs walk into a large, towering cylindrical room with a giant glass ball in the center. Thousands of lasers and other objects all point at one spot, releasing giant discharges or energy. (I know, I know, this is all highly theoretical, but I guarentee that Wolf Labs would be the first one to figure out how to achieve all this.) Autumn gasps in amazement. "They've done it. They've really done it." Ronan starts a lengthy monolouge about how it might be possible, and Umbra blocks off his channel to spare the other's ears. 

Suddenly, Spyro gets a strange look on his face. "Hey, I'm not feeling so good all of a sudden. Why is the room spinning? I'm suddenly feeling really...." Spyro crumples the the ground. Steph screams. Ronan starts mouthing words that nobody can hear. Somewhere, an alarm starts blaring, and the cbers are evacuated from the room by several robots.  

Spyro is sped away to the hospital wing, but Icy mouths the thing that everyone's thinking. "Nobody can be exposed to that much radiation and live. I'm really sorry HAB." HAB sniffles and stares at the ceiling.

Meanwhile, Umbra is on her knees examining Spyro's specially made dragon suit. Suddenly, she releases a little gasp. Instantly, everyone is gathered around her. She points to a long, very intentional cut in the suit. "That..... how did that get past inspections?" Mice kneels next to it, examines it for a moment, and says "Invisible sealant. Very combustible. Not anti rad at all." She fixes the group with a solemn stare. "This was no accident. This" She gestures to the suit "Was a murder."

Someone's CAPTCHA just yelled "cbuu" Why, yes, small animal, I AM on the cb. How observant of you.  

Umbra Luna! Umbra Luna! I figured out who you are! But I will keep it a secret. Hint hint, language and dead.
