Train Crashers - Basic Plot
(Based on Castle Crashers)
Two young knights are forced to work together on a quest to save three different princesses. It shouldnât be a hard task, it really shouldnât. But, I mean, itâs Ross and Danny weâre talking about.
Ross is a trusty gray knight, never viewed as much more than a menial henchman to the crown. There are millions like him. Of course heâs not special, why would he be? All heâs got is a hammer, how lame is that? It also doesnât help that his partner has ice powers and doesnât even seem to appreciate them. Ice powers, the power that Ross would have killed for when he was little and wanted to grow up to have mastered by now. But no, this guy has them. So Ross, channeling his inner bitterness, takes it upon himself to ensure that he gets all the credit for every single princess they save. Danny can fight the dungeon bosses and stop enemies with his ice, but Ross is going to be the one getting all the princesses.
Dannyâs fresh out of knight-training school and already assigned to a big mission, which is pretty cool. Heâs kind of new to the whole âhaving ice powersâ thing, though his partner, a loud and chatty gray knight, definitely seems to know a lot about it. Danny wants to be a team player, he really does, but Ross is making it really difficult on him. They fight well in battle, but once it comes to the princesses--you know, the thing Dannyâs been dreaming about since he was little--Ross refuses to let up. Dannyâs not an angry person, but Ross knows just how to push his buttons and the anger slowly eats away at him as Ross claims the first two princesses they encounter for himself, even after Danny suggested a compromise. But now, with that third princess on the line, the one whose face neither have seen and Danny fell in love with the moment he saw her getting dragged away on her face, well, heâs going to give Ross a good fight for her.
