sorry i would have got to it last night but mortal kombat 2 was on <img src=smilies/icon_smile_cool.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> mesa back! One thing you do not want to see when you exit a long jump that drained your reactor is this; on the right i see a large mass of fighters that look like they would fall apart at the seams without any help, on the left i see a large capital ship that´s blue and white and looks like somebody took the front off my fighter and just took two of the backs and smushed one on top of the other and then stuck four extremely thick pylons out at the corners in the front to create massive fighter bays, and let me say that they are massive. "This is raidens´ destruction to unidentified fighter prepare to be apprehended"came the voice of a fast approaching squadron of fighters from the sleek capital ship. "And for what reason would i do that, the master of the hyperphysical answers to noone!" and matching actions to words i proceeded to turn the entire squadron inot spacedust.Surprised chatter came from both sides of the battlefield at the single fighter that would defy the invaders.I planned on more than defying, they used modified if primitive versions of my fighter! something noone does. I aimed straight for one of the fighter bays, trinity kept the shields up while i proceeded to use my almost unlimited magazine of missiles to annihilate almost half their fighters.Fighters still in the massive hanger zipped by, some parked others getting ready to launch, it didn´t matter to me, i destroyed them all. I finally found a empty place to land at the very front/end of the hangar, setting my ship down i was attacked by a security detachment.Thing is i didn´t leave without my ravager tachyon mini-rifles or my widow maker rifle, oh did i mention that trinity decided to do it herself before i could unfasten the safety belts holding me in the fighter. After finally getting down and taking the safety off both of the ravager mini-rifles and headed towards the nearest exit, going into what i now called my hyperphysical mode where my senses were heightened i saw turrets on the other side of the door, using the powers given me by the ancient one arania i protected myself with a shield and walked through the door absorbing all their fire and returning with my own blasting the turrets off the walls. I entered another corridor and saw a lift ahead, as i neared it the doors opened and a large team of whati would call commandos came out firing, the shield absorbed it and i proceeded to get rid of them as well.I entered the lift ad pressed the button on the keypad that said command center and waited. The lift stopped and i went to the doors, they wouldn´t open; i was about to blast them open when trinity spoke. "I wouldn´t advise it, the substances in them might combust and take out this entire section" Setting aside my weapons i cracked my knuckles in anticipation of finally seeing what this adamantium reinforced skeleton of mine could do.I punched the door.Hard.And the door well, it sorta flew across the room and hit a security officer.Not that that´s a bad thing afterall; having left my weapons behind me in the lift i went full melee.I built the perfect set of swords atom by atom, a set of adamantium and crome handled scimitars that were hard for the unprotected eye to look at, or the un-genetically/nanite enhanced eye. The guards stood their ground, i stood legs apart and ready, the shields was off as it stopped solid objects as well.First move goes to the defenders, they fired and i dove to the right ending it with a roll to my fight, i then did a series of jumps to close the distance.With Trinity guarding my back they couldn´t even scratch me and trinitys´ beak was not kind to them either, finally i came upon one the ones in the back armed with short looking weapons and metal armor. I changed my weapons and added an electric generator to each of them so they electrified on contact, i went through them like a hot knife through butter.I finally had the time to notice that this was only a security checkpoint.I sheathed my swords on sheaths i created and went back and got my rifles. I continued on and broke down the next door aswell and saw the command crew at their stations all holding a weapon of some type, The shield came up and the bodies started to fly.Literally, being abit bored i just shot a nearby airlock. After quickly repairing it a took remote control of all the systems and had the weapons, primitive though they may be, target the fighters.The result was catastrophic, the fight had neared the capital ship and the turrets decimated the fighters that were left.Then the leader of the ragtag group of defenders hailed me. "Whoever you are we owe you big, thank you, this is out last system aside from out homeworld, these ships have been coming out of nowhere and attacking us" "glad i could help, care to join me for a tost to the future of the raiden as a empire?" i asked in return. "glad to but, <i>who are you? </i> " he asked puzzled. I smiled, "Just someone sent to help" i replied and cut the connection. OOC: there, how´s that? Edited by - Dragonborn on 2/16/2005 3:58:59 PM

aorry bout the delay. again<img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> IC - Jake: She shines, in a world full of ugliness. She matters, when everything is meaningless. Fragile, she doesn´t see her beauty, she tries to get away. Sometimes it´s just that nothing seems worth saving, I can´t watch her slip away. "I won´t let you fall apart" I whispered to her as the energy field held us together. I tried to save a place from the cuts and the scratches. I tried to overcome the complications and the catches. Nothing ever grows and the sun doesn´t shine all day. I tried to save myself, but myself keeps slipping away. I paused, the power around us began to modulate. it had seen something inside of us, and decided to expose this darkness to those concerned. There is a hate that burns within, the most desperate place I have ever been, I tried to get bac to where it begun, but the closer I get, the worse it becomes. I couls feel the anger, the pain, the hatred being torn from my soul via my concioussness, again having to relive every painful moment, as well as every painful moment of Erin´s life, again. I began to question myself. Did I know how far this has gone? Just how damaged had I become? Everytime I thought I had overcome, it ran even deeper. OOC: more to come. im kinda in a slump at this point. -Shark

There are two things in this world that are infinite: The Universe, and Human Stupidity. We may be able to disprove the former eventually – Albert Einstein I sat at the console, fingering the old scar on my face, and wondering, yet again, how I had managed to fall into such a mess. Here I am, Saving Humanity from inevitable impending doom, the ultimate cliché. “What’s next?” I asked myself “I help Viator defeat Adam, The Ikshions will fall from having no leader, and then I leave to fight the Confederation in the ultimate apocalyptic battle of all time. But then what?” “It is inevitable that another crisis will befall mankind” Araminta replied, sitting on the ground next to me “But you can’t keep helping them, Humanity needs to learn how to fend for itself” “But why?” I asked “Why are we as a species worth saving? We still wage war; we still murder each other, why do we deserve what we have been given?” “No-one knows” Araminta answered “Its one of those Nature-of-the-Universe Questions you keep answering, but I’m not even sure if you can answer this one” I nodded my head in defeat. “You have progressed far from when I saw you last” I snapped up, quickly getting to my feet and searching for the source of the sinister voice “But yet, the Fundamentals stay the same” “Who are you?” Araminta screeched, now on my shoulder “I shall show you” I didn’t even realise I had switched locations for a few seconds, and even when I did realise it, I couldn’t identify where I was, as it was so utterly alien to me. “Show yourself!” I yelled, my voice echoing eerily around the room “Not until you calm yourself” The Voice was less unknown now, and I was doing my best to pinpoint it from the thousands of people across two timelines. “Still don’t know who I am?” I spun around and saw no-one, but was getting closer on pinpointing a voice. “I’m close” I said, and finally hit it “Emma” Araminta muttered, milliseconds before I did the same “Took you long enough” She said, appearing behind me I turned, and walked away slowly “Traitor” I muttered, backing up against the wall “You forgave me once” “Traitor” I said again “What you did was shallow and selfish” “I didn’t do it” She said “But you went along with it” I said “You didn’t deny it” She lowered her head “Why won’t you let it go?” She asked “The first time I didn’t because I was only a Human, governed by human emotions, making a human response” “And now?” “Now it is a calculated unemotional response, Taken from lessons not only learned by me, but by lessons given to me by the ancients” “Do these ‘Ancients’ know anything about Love?” “No, but based on what limited experience I gained from my time with you, I was able to use that theoretical knowledge to extrapolate from what I already had” “And?” “Same conclusion, Treachery” I saw a tear roll down her cheek, and where I would have felt guilt many years ago, I felt nothing but a little bit of frustration “I thought we could make up” She said, walking towards me “Put all this behind us” “And why would I want that?” I asked, not wanting to touch her “Well, you probably need a female in your life right now, and I’m willing to bet that that phoenix of yours isn’t going to cut it” I saw right through it, and felt a bit repulsed at her motives “If you wanted sex, your abut 20-odd years too late. You haven’t changed at all, you know that?” She stopped, almost about to kiss me. “And I would never go with you, your treachery to me then, and your lies to me now” I said “I am offering you immunity to the Confederation” Emma said “You will regret Denying yourself this pleasure” “I think not” Araminta and I said The Vision vanished, and I was yet again down on the ring. “I’m getting the felling we’re gonna see her again” Araminta said “So do I Ara” I said, starting to walk towards where I left Viator “So do I” As long as we keep thinking of ourselves, there will be war, and immorality, for that is human nature, and that is who we are OOC- sorry for the long wait, i kept putting it off, but here it is

OOC: Its about bloody time man. now i got some mojo going again... even though im freakin hungover. IC - Jake: What´s it like up there? Do you worry anymore? How´s it feel up there? So much left to say. If i could tell your thoughts right now, it would never be the same. Wait until I am by your side, then the meaning will come true. Your love will find a better way. Everybody wants you to be known. Your love will find a better way. Everybody... Everybody wants to know. We are nearly there. Do you get to see the love? Can you understand my thoughts? Seeing as no-one else here can. When you see the light, does your pain just disappear? Will i ever feel your love once again my dear? Arania stood near the tree which bore all life in the universe, both Viator and Erin had disappeared, nowhere in sight. Scratching his head, Arania sat under the tree and dozed off, relaxing under the warming glow of the sun. I woke up, startled, as I knew not of what happened, only that Erin and I were both bathed in pure light. Erin! I scanned my vicinity, looking for her. The landscape looked familiar, somewhere I had been before recently, but was unable to recognise. Decaying trees lined the once glorius promenade, eternal reminders of what used to be on this devastated world, but it still bore a nagging rememberance on what this place used to be. I called out to Erin. No response. I tried again. Nothing, nowhere, no how could i reach her by voice alone. I screamed until my voice became hoarse, and I ran down the dead avenue of honour, desperate to try and find her. There was still something here, something that felt like deja-vu, a familiarity of this place, as if I had been here before. I ran down the never-ending boulevard, tears running down my face, in a desperate search to find her. There was no way I was going to let her go. My foot became snagged on a massive boulder that seemed to miss my gaze. on it was an inscription, a message from those who lived here. "--ve here, on a journey, never ceasing as long as my body will take me, and when it begins to fail, I will return to Earth, and share my findings with whoever wishes to listen. So long, and the one flame will be joined by another, the star of which Av---------Ja-----gley === Tsiu k michia? Michia k Tsiamats uo Avalion, Naimak, Zaiyan. Tsiau na michia bona? Michia kakai uni ukashi aintsa menai." My blood ran cold. My eyes widened to the maximum. The pit in my stomach grew to an infinite. I had been here before. I stood in the ruins of Avalon. The Ikshions had returned, and left no Ayan alive, and it was sheer luck that the majority of the Ayans were on Earth. I uncovered more of the stones, reading the message I left behind. -:- During my reflection on the stone I left behind, A crack of thunder rang out over the decrepit plains. A big booming storm was rolling in, at an incredible pace, no, at an unnatural pace. A massive shadow moved inside the massive cloud, undulating slightly. Lightning rained down on the plains, as the dark force swept the land. In a flash however, white glow emerged from behind the cloud, engulfing it, pouring out over the land, rejuvinating it. I had witnessed something here, somethig that if I had witnessed a year ago, would have converted me to some form of faith... but I had dealt with Creators. A massive sliver ship rose out of the aura, hovering above my head, and in a flash, I had been elevated to the ship above. Before me stood a tall humanoid, wrapped in a robe, and seemed to radiate stillness. I enquired about who he was, and he responded. "I am Quetzacotl. There are many questions in your mind, and I shall strive to answer them all in good time. However, there is an issue here that needs to be adressed." I quickly formed words. "Do you know where Erin is?" "Your companion is safe. She is in the care of my brother, Xolotl, and is being informed of the current situation. Now, allow me to explain the urgency of the situation. Please, have a seat." I turned around to see a seat appear behind me. I sat down in it. "Now, you are the Traveller, right?" I nodded my reply. "Good. My bretheren are here to assist you in your journey, you activated the beacon in the Tree of Life, and in doing so lit the torch for us to find you." A bright flash of light appeared in front of me as a table materialised in front of us. "Your goal is simple, yes? Destroy the leader of the Souless army? But to destroy a Creator, you need a weapon that cand rend his flesh permanently, something to disconnect the life from his limbs. You need these." Quetzacotl removed the sheet covering the table. Two blades lay on the table, one slightly longer than the other, both about the size of short swords, ornately decorated blades, slightly curved with both edges parallel to each other. "With these two, you can rend any Creator´s flesh asunder, The powers in these blades can kill any living thing with minimal effort." I inspected the writing on the side, trying to understand it. Quetzacotl informed me of the writing. On the white handled sword bore the name Limited Moon, and on the black sword, Death Penalty; all in whatever language this guys speaks normally. I hoped that these would help in the struggle. I just wanted to see Erin. -:- You wanna revolution? Edited by - Love Shark on 4/21/2005 11:56:45 PM

The light swirled endlessly, a concordance of voices going with it. I stretched my hand out into the mist, trying to find purchase in the strange world, but finding nothing solid The voices grew more high-pitched, but I was still unable to make them out. “What the?” My voice echoed around me, before being quickly drowned out I tried to listen, but nothing in the swirling concordance of voices could be understood “Father, forgive us our sins…” “Help me to be strong…” “Forevermore, amen…” The voices were inside me, inside my mind, blocking out my thoughts “…shadow of death…” “…purity, happiness…” “STOP!” I screamed, trying to save myself The voices stopped, and I was once again alone in the misty world I sighed, my mind clear again “Those are prayers” came a voice from behind me I turned, making out a figure behind me “Prayers?” I muttered “Why am I hearing human prayers?” “They are not only human” The figure said again, drawing closer to me “There were many different races among them, but you could only make out a few of the human ones” I nodded, understanding “And why, am I hearing them?” I asked “I’m showing them to you” He said “Because of what you are, you are an Ancient, one of the last surviving pure creators” “What, you’re saying I’m God?” I asked, incredulously “No” He said, bluntly "Then what am i?" I asked "You are one of an ancient decendancy" He replied "One that puts aside thier personal desires and strives for the greater good, the Pure" "I know that, what of it?" "The Pure are the children of the Origin" It answered "The effect of the Origin´s destruction by its first children" "And?" "The Pure are the natural counter to the Creators" He said "Do to what they created" "And where do i come into this?" “You are one of the Pure” The Entity retorted “You are the last of the Ancients. Only you can stop what has been set in motion millions of eons ago” “What?” “Evil. The creation of evil” It said “Life was once all pure. Nobody can remember what happened then, but evil started to spread. Adam is the source of the evil in this world” “Who are you?” I asked “I am the origin of all evil” The figure said, throwing off his hood He had no face “That makes no sense” I said “Why do you want me to destroy something that you created?” “I did not mean to” The Entity replied “I have spent my entire life trying to rid the world of Evil, but I have not the power. You do however” Recognition came, of what he spoke of. “Your going to die, aren’t you?” I asked “Yes” He replied, his figure flickering in and out of existence “Do this for me? Please?” “I will” I said, and he vanished. I awoke at the base of the Tree “Ok, I’m never going to sleep again” I said “What on earth was that?” Araminta asked, perched high in the tree “Where on earth were you?” I asked her She bowed her head “I was trying to appear, but I couldn’t” She replied “I’m sorry” “It’s alright” I said, perching her on my shoulder “I would have done the sam… Oh dear god…” I rushed over to the two bodies. Indigo and Mittens, The two Dæmons. “What evil did this?” Araminta said, almost crying I could feel her horror, as well as my own fury, as I knelt down and examined them “They’re alive” I said “But they’ve been severed. The core link is gone, but they both still have a faint life connection with Viator and Erin” I turned back to the tree, pondering. “Why was this done?” I said I picked up the two bodies in my arms, and walked back to the tree. >: Process Complete The message flashed on the tree. I set the two dæmons down, and walked to the tree “Where are they?” I asked >: User invalid, Ancient is not permitted to know location of Creator Domain “Why?” >: Ancient will destroy Creators “Why did you sever them?” >: User Invalid. Ancient cannot comprehend the Creators plan I walked closer, my voice starting to resonate “What?” >: Ancient cannot understand “I understand well enough that you committed one of the greatest evils able to be committed. WHERE ARE THEY?” The screen flickered slightly before returning its response >: Ancient must not find Creators, Universe depends on Creators “They are not creators, they are mere mortals” >: Statement invalid, Creators are immortal “I have seen that they are mortal. Why they act as they do is unknown to me yet, but they did not create life, life is not theirs, they merely have the power to copy life from power their ancestors stole from the Ancients” I had barely realised what I was about to say before I said it. Memories, not mine, flooding back from before this universe was even born >: Historical records invalid. Creators, by definition, created life “Your History is wrong, the Creators are the children of the Gods, Creators are the children of the Origin. And the Creators destroyed the Origin. Children outlive elders, you said so yourself” I stopped, and shook my head, none of this made any sense >: Historical records invalid, you are lying “I’m here to set that right, I’m here to destroy the evil that came from the Origins destruction. But what I plan to do is invalid right now, Adam has to be destroyed, and I need Viator, WHERE IS HE?” >: Ancient CANNOT Learn location of the Creators “I’m giving you one last chance” I said, extending my hand to the tree, my voice resonating so high that the screen had almost cracked “Tell me where they are” >: No I plunged my hand into the tree, light erupting from the point of entry “You’re making me angry” I said, torturing the tree “Your not going to like me when I’m angry” >: CannOT TELl AncIEnT “Tell me where they are!” >: CANNOT, MUST PPROTECT CREATORS “The creators destroyed the origin, the only original thing the Creators created is Evil, and now they’re trying to get rid of it themselves, using the last of the Pure among us” >: NOT TRUE, YOU MUST BE LLYING “I’m not, it’s the truth, YOU have been lied to” >: NO, CREATORS ARE TELLING THE TRUTH “Nope, they’re lying” >: NO! “Believe me!” I said, my arm almost in up to the elbow >: NO, YOU ARE LYING, THE CREATORS WILL DESTROY EVIL! “I don’t have time for this” I said, the anger in my voice “The Creators will pay for what they have done to my friend, and to all life, in due time, but right now, YOU WILL TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE!” >: ERGaaeNekAEn REnarnbivr aROjg4iaw I closed my eyes “A little more” >: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEEEEE348327981 I opened my eyes again >: PLEASE! STOP! I stopped, pulling my arm out of the tree “Where are they?” >: Avalon, the creators, and your friend are on Avalon I nodded, and turned away from the smoking tree “Thank you” I picked up the two dæmons, and began walking towards viator’s ship. “You remember how to fly after all these years?” Araminta asked, as I powered up the controls “Just like driving a Cab” I said, launching the ship and setting the jump coordinates to Avalon The Creators will pay for this, they will pay for the Evil they created, and they will pay for severing my friend, for, by their own words: “Children outlive their Elders” For millenia mankind has searched the stars for signs of intelligence and a sense of purpose. We should never have looked. - Nexus, The Jupiter Incident Edit- To make i bit more sense, and a bit less religious Edited by - Arania - PFY on 4/25/2005 3:42:43 AM

alrighty, climax time! -:- IC - Jake: It´s strange how things pan out. It´s definitely strange how Fate seems to choose how you live. Except that Fate is a figment of my imagination. Fate died on the day that Adam did, rendered asunder by the same blade. I reflected on my life as I drove the white blade of Quetzacoatl into Adam´s torso, strange place for it, I know, but it seemed like the best time for it. Here´s where it began, this whole crazy adventure. It was in a bar, a small bar, in the middle of nowhere, and in this bar, were 2 guys. Just 2 average joes, 2 mates from their own personal adventures, sitting in a bar that no longer exsists. From this, they are recruited to help a secret orginisation, to help track the movements of certain people. Somehow I ended up killing the father of mankind. That is, of course, if he was the father of mankind. Something told me that I did not contain Adam´s genes. And, as I drove the blade further and further in, the blood of a Creator flowed over my torso, drenching my clothing in a crimson bath of pure gore. The shock had already registered, Adam knew his fate, knew what awaited him was a long and painful death, retribution for all the lives he destroyed, all the suffering he spread, all the misery inflicted on innocent people. Adam had annihilated the entire planet of Avalon. This was justice, vengeance, the end of the road. Oh how I prayed it was the end, bu I knew there was one more evil to deal with: The Confederation. And as I withdrew the blade from Adam´s stomach, I pondered who exactly the Confederates were, why they were hell-bent on the interference with our plans, and where Arania fit into their plans. Adam fell to his knees, his hands desperately holding in his internal organs, his hourglass was almost through, and he knew it. "You did it, human. The pure; the only; the mack daddy." Adam had fallen easily, a simple lure called him out, the promise of the Tree of Life. And when he approached, he discovered that he had been decieved, and that there was only one weapon that could rend him asunder. Not the dark Death Penalty, but the pure Limited Moon, sword of the light, the sword that removed the bowels of a so called God. As Adam hit the cold stone road, I knew one thing. It had been almost too easy. It was almost as if he was unaware that he could be defeated, so overconfident that he could not see his own failings. And as the life left his body, I felt a small twinge, a small sense of emotion, an emotion I should not have felt. Pity. I looked to the sky, to see if I had done the right thing, but Quetzacotl´s ship was no-where to be found. only the thin shape of a Z-Axis fighter could be defined on the horizon, with Arania making his way toward the centre of the chaos, carrying something that was very dear to me: Indigo. I pushed as much energy into restoring the link between us, trying desperately to reconnect. Indigo raised her head as I strengthened the link. Again, I could hear what she heard, and know what she knew. I looked at Arania and nodded. We had to find Erin. She had to help us in the final struggle. one that would take us to depths of human depravity. The Confederate homeworld. -:- OOC: Adam´s gone!!! wooohooo! -:- You wanna revolution?

Im composing another chapter, one which is heavily influenced by my current discovery of the blatant defiance humans have towards thier own sentience, and that of others. (I.E. you see me Mad, and very sad.) Ill post ´er up after DB does his.

*Beeeeeep* WEVE GOT V-FIB, CLEAR! *Zap!* Nothing, CLEAR!* *Zap!!* Ive got a pulse! ------ Thousands of years, and I have seen all that I would ever have wished to have seen. The Insufference of life, hypocrisy, betrayal, hatred, the pit of human life. But not only human life, Sentience, it was a fatal flaw, the Creators got it wrong. What I have seen could tear apart the mind of one weaker. It has already sent me teeming to the edge of insanity, only to fight back against it, endlessly. Why do I keep fighting it? Humanity needs me, humanity needs us, Life, needs us. Maybe if I was a normal person, I’d have the time and justification for a nice, comfortable nervous breakdown, but Fate doesn’t work that way. Fate chooses the most least likely people, chucks them into the least likely situations, with the least likelihood of coming out alive. But, If this is my path Who am I to change it now? We’ve got a universe to save. I sat back as the Z-Axis fighter set down, trying to block out the endless white noise that continued to encompass my mind, almost coming to the point of unbearability. <i>“You little…” “Come here you little s..” “Please… Help me…” </i> Images, swirling, endlessly. I resisted the urge to scream, and staggered upright, barely even managing that easy task. “You look like s..t mate” Viator said, entering the ship. That about summed it up for me, I felt like it. “I feel like it buddy” I said, resisting the urge to faint “You want to take us out? I’m not feeling too good” “With pleasure” He replied <i>“Eat me…” </i> I shook my head, trying to clear the images “Ara?” I said, weakly “I see it too” She said “What is it?” “I have no idea” I whispered, sitting down at the back while the ship lifted off “I was hoping you could tell me” She shook her head “Not a clue” She replied <i>“… like it like that, don’t you…” </i> I grunted, focussing on the front of the ship. “Adam is dead, by the way” Indigo said “I know” I replied, watching the atmosphere fade away <i>“No, don’t please, don’t, STOP!” </i> “We know all to well” Ara said My eyes blurred slightly, and my balance shifted slightly “You all right back there?” Viator asked, the concern in his voice hidden, but not completely “Actually…” I began <i>“This is the best you can do?” “Please, Master…” “Get back here! SLAVE!” </i> I had a sudden vision. It was in a small room, a small girl was tied up spread-eagle in the centre, with an old man towering over her with a whip. I barely had time to register anything before the crack of the whip sounded on the girl’s back, and with that, the vision vanished. “… No” I finished, swaying He turned, and looked at me. He told me later that I looked like a ghost, I was so white. “Arania?” He asked, concerned <i>“Give in, you know you want to” </i> “Eh?” I said, looking up, trying to register him in the blur My stomach lurched, and it was barely ten seconds before I was in the rear of the ship, vomiting up bile. “Ugh” I said, flushing the mess down, before, sliding down the bathroom wall to join Ara on the floor “What’s happening to me?” I said, the visions subsiding, for now “Us” Araminta corrected “I don’t know what it is” “Its like, every memory any human has ever had” I said, trying to comprehend it. “Adam’s memories” Ara suggested I looked down at her, my vision clearing. “They ARE Adam’s memories” Ara said, louder I scooped her up, and rushed out of the bathroom, almost colliding with Viator on the way. “How long ago did you kill Adam?” I asked “Barely a few hours” Viator replied “Oh god…” I said, going pale again, and backing into the wall. “What is it?” Viator asked me I was about to respond, before the ship lurched suddenly sideways before coming to a halt. “What was that?” Viator and Araminta said in unison “No idea” Indigo and I said We all looked at each other, and the weird thing we just did. We walked back into the cockpit, to find ourselves in the hangar of a massive ship. “That looks Aztec in design” I said, noticing the odd pyramidical design “It’s Quetzalcoatl’s Ship” Viator said “And we didn’t see it” Indigo said “So either we really do have the biggest lucky streak of all time” I said “Or we’re expected” Ara finished “Neither of which particularly appeals to me” Viator said, peering out of the cockpit dome. “But we do have to find Erin” Indigo stated I glanced over to her unconscious Dæmon “Let’s go” I said, walking out of the ship. I stepped on the odd stone-like floor of the bay, the material crunching beneath my feet. “So, where to first?” Viator asked, stepping from the ship, Indigo cradling Erin’s dæmon. My vision blurred, and I took all of my strength to keep breathing. I fell to my knees, clutching my head, and screamed. “Arania?” Viator shouted I lowered my arms, and felt a single tear fall from my cheek onto the floor below. “Ill be fine” I said, rising back up “We have a friend to save” I pulled the hood on my cloak up, and briefly saw my hand glow very pale yellow before I drew it away again. I put it back up, and deduced that the scar on my face was glowing, but quickly losing its luminosity “Come on” Araminta said in my ear, soothingly “We’ll be alright” I turned “Viator” I said, pulling my hand in a sweeping motion. “Lead the way” ------ Ok, 25ccs of adrenalin, let me know if its condition deteriorates any further. CMON PEOPLE!

you son´t ave to be so dramatic Arania, it ain´t dead, as long as i´m not in school atleast <img src=smilies/icon_smile_blush.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> The fighters of the RR or raiden resistance docked in the fighter bay i had cleaned out during my boarding of the ship and headed toward the entertainment section, it appears that this was not just a warship that was massive enough it could hold up to 600 fighters, 150 in each of the four fighter bays, it had a onboard factory living areas greenhouses, it was a literal city in space. It could also be a very powerful ship, I was currently in the captains room in a sort of trance combining aranias´ powers i had gained and combining them with my own integrated nano technology, using the unlimted energy of being part ancient(hope that´s what its called since ican´t remember) and creating billions of nanites to repair the ship and update its systems, i started first with making a more advanced artificial intelligence to mamage all the new systems that were being installed. After that i worked on the fighter and gunship production facilities just below and behind the fighter bays the als ohad gunship launching capability. Then it was time to build the Jumpdrive, Shield generators, armor and weaponry, i started first with the shield generators, my nanobots built 6 super capital class shield generators one above and below each foighter bay and then the other two in the stern. Next was the layered armor. Ablative matrices of solid hydrogen(very hard substance created under extreme pressure such as a gas giant core) interlaced with adamantium made it all but indestructible unless from a concentrated assault. All this work took about a month to complete as the ship was so big the replication of the armor took about 3 weeks. Next the weapons would take the longest of all. I had my nanites replicate every type of weapon imaginable. Beam cannons,massive Rail gun turrets that could go through 3 confederate dreadnoughts and then there was my personal favorite, the darkamtter arrays, they are basically space version of sonic cannons atcing as a repuslor wave to damage any unshielded object and push it back at the same time.This took another 2 months as they were much more complex than the armor and i also had the top and bottom of both of the wings to cover not just the body, any fighters hoping to cripple the ship by punching through the armor on the wings with a concentrated burst of firepower would get a big surprise. I have now been working on the jumdrive for almost 2 weeks, it is about 6 decks high and very complex, i couldn´t let the nanobots do it on their own i had to take control of them. I also had to create a power source for all these weapons shield generators and jumpdrive. I built 5 matter/anti-matter reactors to aid the main quantum reactor that was already in the ship, atleast these invaders knew how to amke a decent reactor. As i come out of a state of depp concentration i see a man from the resistance infront of me waiting anxiously. "Sir" he said helping me from my cross legged position to standing. "The invaders have attacked Raiden prime" At this news i became fully alert and headed for the nearest lift to the bridge. As soon as the doors opened i started barking orders "helm set course for raiden Prime and engage jumpdrive on my mark" i pressed the shipwide intercom buttton. "This is Dragonborn speaking, all personel man your battlestations and prepare for encounter on jump end" I switched the intercom off "helmsman, engage jumpdrive, destination high Raiden Prime orbit" The behemoth of a ship glowed for a second before accelerating into jumpspace.(it´s too massive for the jump to be instantaneous <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> ) There you satisfied i added another section <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

OOC: I´m still writing. I should be finishing this up soon, the storyline involving the Confederates might have to wait til another story. Anyway, on with the show. -:- <i>Just the thought of those eyes, watching somebody else, burns me, those arms holding somebody else, burns me, and those hands, touching somebody else, kills me. oh Fate, put out the light, just put out the light. </i> I stepped out of the small fighter and looked around at the eloborate chamber where we were held. I scanned the walls, looking for an exit, looking for some guide to where Erin might be held captive. The room was almost hermitically sealed, no obvious way in or out, not obvious doors, vents or service ducts. It was almost as if the ship was so well designed that it didn´t require maintenance. Ornate decorations lined all the walls, all covered in what appeared to be gold. I turned back to the ship to see Arania stumble out of the hold of he fighter, the images and thoughts of the departed Adam flooding his conciousness. As soon as his feet touched the polished black floors, he stumbled forward, falling to his knees and vomiting up more bile. "Jeez, you alright?" I asked him, no longer trying to hide the concern in my voice. "I´ll live... Side effects from the death of evil." "Well, hurry up. I´m starting to get nervous." Indigo flew over my head, searching the room for an exit. It might be a while until we figure this one out. -:- <i>So many years I stood among the thoughts and tears of those I served. Among my own I was alone through my own doing. All the years I walked unknown behind the faces I assumed. Powerless to clear your mind of what you´d suffered. I´d only come here seeking peace. I´d only come here seeking me. It seems I came to leave. </i> At the bottom of a dark pit, covered in hand crafted symbols, a decrepit being lay on the cold floor. A dark tangle of hair covering it´s head, whilst only rags covered the rest of it´s body. The smell of human waste had become a familiar smell in the dank pit, which, at the bottom measured only 4 metres square, with what looked like a doorway in one wall. Air moved slowly down in this cruel prison, the only ventilation coming from the lungs of the being trapped at the bottom of this hellhole. Nothing stirred, nothing moved, except for the minute up and down motion of the human´s chest, allowing air to move. Light flooded into the chamber, waking the human, now revealing itself to be female, her quiet blue eyes set like sapphires in her pale face. He tiny frame had become more noticeable, her skin hanging from her bones, no muscle tone remaining. She grabbed at her chest, the throbbing pain that she felt every day had somehow subsided, weaker than before. The doorway in the wall had opened up, filling the pit with light, only a black shadow appearing in the light. Time seemed to slow in here, where a day would feel like only a minute had passed outside. There was no way of proving it, no way of knowing, no information leaked into this horrific cell. This shadow had become a regular visitor, either to deliver her the tiny amount of food needed to sustain her being, or deliver the enormity of pain, an endless torture, with only one purpose in mind: to break her physical body in as many ways as possible. But this time she thought something was different. Something was here, that shouldn´t be, and that she would die before she would find out. -:- You wanna revolution?

OOC: more juicy Love Shark goodness! -:- <i> We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment, We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside This holy reality, this holy experience. Choosing to be here in, This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal All this pain is an illusion. </i> The searing hot iron forced deep into her flesh, instantly burning away the skin surrounding the area. A cry of pain echoed throughout the bowels of the ship, the sound travelling through the cracks and crevices, the small amount that there was, a spiritual energy travelling with it, unseen and unheard. Again, as soon as she had made a sound, the sadistic brutes surrounding her beat her until she made no sound, and then placed her back into her horrific cell. Her tears stained the rencid stone floor, as her body began to heal the injuries sustained through today´s torture. It was pain, then recovery, an then pain all over again. The fairytales were wrong. There was no white knight in her mind. Only dark shadows of what used to be good and pure. -:- <i> Beauty is what the eyes behold. And you burn brighter than most. I chased you thru the midnight streets, To be where I could speak freely. I didn’t care what tomorrow held, I felt the world turning only for us. Only bliss now for you and me, Rise up let life’s kiss send us reeling. And unlike the times before, From yesterday comes tomorrow. When life comes alive the past moves aside </i> Indigo had been circling for a good five minutes when she felt something. We all felt something. There was no sound, but there was something, something that was eminating a feeling. Pain. Arania and I looked at each other and began to frantically search for a way out of the room. The feeling was almost overpowering, to know that something was suffering so much, was in so much agony. I ran up to the far wall and began to pound on the ornate decorations, my strength denting the fragile decorations, the gold falling to the floor, the sound echoing thorughout the hangar. The wall seemed to be hollow, almost like a door, but just covered to make it blend in. I focused all the energy i had and forced my fist into the weak wall. There was a loud crash, as the massive metal structure gave way, leaving a gaping hole in the wall. I turned around to Arania. "Wait until those visions get less frequent, then find Quetzacoatl. Don´t risk it until then." And with that I walked through the new hole with Indigo swooping through after me. <i> When I first came to this island that I called by own name I was happy in this fortress, in my exile I remained But the hours grew so empty and the ocean sent her waves In the figure of a woman and she pulled me out to sea When you come down to take me home send my soul away When you come round you’ll make me whole send my soul away </i> -:- You Wanna Revolution?
