Robyn Locksley has never had it easy. As she was born in the realm of Myst, but was raised on earth where she was subject to death, humiliation, and sexual assault. While, in the middle of coping with these issues she was called back to her birth land of Myst where she became a selfless hero and bandit known as Robyn Hood. Since then she has gone on many quests and adventures, has faced countless creatures and humans, and as collateral damage has saved the world a few times. Upon returning from one of these quests Robyn finds her apartment ransacked, her friend Police Commissioner Gengrich poisoned and nearly dead, and the police are hot on her trail as she has just become an outlaw for the very first time.
Summary:
For a girl who has had a tough life already, but has save the world many times over, Robyn Locksley just can’t seem to avoid attracting trouble. Her latest troubles have come in the form of an unknown enemy who poisoned her friend Police Commissioner Gengrich with the intent to kill and frame Robyn for it. As part of the set-up two dirty cops “caught” Robyn in the act forcing her to flee as several other police follow her as a means to apprehend her. While she is running Robyn saves a smartass magical girl named Tatter who introduces her to the Underground. The Underground is a place in New York City where criminals live and lay low away from the police. Before Robyn can gain access to the Underground she is subjected to two tests. The first is she must defeat the gatekeeper of The Underground a Golem named Ethan and the second is she must rescue a captured member of The Underground named Watts. Once these tests are completed Gynt, the man who assigned her these tests, begins to explain the mission is a gold stealing job and participating in it will help cure Gengrich. But before Robyn can join the team she is forced to meet with the other team members: Goldrush, Matter, and Synapse/Molly to make sure she is compatible with them. While talking with Molly, Watts interrupts her and invites her for a drink. Several hours later Robyn wakes up in a hole with water slowly rising up. As Robyn begins to prepare her escape , she soon realizes that either Goldrush, Matter, Synapse, Golem, Watts, Gynt, or Tatter want her dead. Despite this threat Robyn chooses to continue to join them to carry out the mission. She finds out they are not after gold but rather the magic of a creature/ entity known as the Spriggan. The Spriggan, well aware of the true nature of the mission, separates Robyn, Tatter and Golem from each other. Eventually Robyn is led to the Spriggan who provides her with several answers to the situation in exchange for helping him defend himself from Matter, Synapse, and Watts. After a long battle that leaves a few casualties Robyn is victorious, has a cure for her friend, and gives it to her without knowing who is behind all these events.
Significance:
It is clear that Robyn has gotten herself out of the frying pan and straight into the fire. Robyn has not caught her attempted framer or cleared her name. Rather, she has eliminated a few people who tried to kill her, gained allies in the form of The Spriggan and Golem, saved Gengrich, and has access to The Underground. With all of this it is clear that Robyn is far from done in attempting to clear her name and get revenge on the people who have done this to her. And with that in mind this story serves as a prequel arc to the plot as Robyn begins to carry that out in the new arc as she goes from being an Outlaw to a Vigilante.
