Summary:

Years ago several children had run into the gate and all but one disappeared. Since then, the children had grown up and caused problems for them in the shadows. When two of them, the more notorious twins, came to offer their help tracking down the others, they were dubious about their motives. Still, this was the best option they had.

Onyx, the only child from that day they had managed to catch, was put in charge of a team assembled specifically so that they could keep the twins in check and together they try to find the other children from that day, grown up now and twisted as the underworld of Atlantis.

Characters:

Onyx - A bit of a hot head in charge, lets the power go to his head a bit and doesn't know how to handle the twins.
Daydream & Jedi - The twins, sly grin and playful smile. They seem to share a mind and that mind isn't particularly nice.

Universe:

It takes place in a facility that is much larger on the inside than the out that appears to have no doors. In this facility there is a large portal to a strange other world.

This other world has been nicknamed Atlantis. The people here are alien, blue creatures living in a vaguely Utopian society that's slowly diminishing. While they have attempted to genetically lobotomize their populace so that the concept of crime doesn't exist, there are certain areas in the lower levels of Atlantis where this hasn't worked so well. They aren't sure how to deal with this, so when the strangers come through from the other world, they strike a deal.

In exchange for people coming through to act as their police, they will give them access to their advanced technology.

Inspiration:

Interstella 5555. After watching it, I wanted blue aliens. In a post apocolyptic universe living in a dome. That were racists, classist and had their own completely different language and physiology.

Notes:

The aliens speak another language. They get a translator so they can understand the locals and the locals can talk to them. These translators only work on Atlanteans and, as the twins grew up there and speak the language themselves, they use the second language to communicate privately between themselves.

I have the language now! I know what it is, anyway. It's perfectly translatable and comes in dialects!

Also, I plan on writing it for Script Frenzy.
