The Chronicles: Part two, Rise of Power

[NintendoGod]

OoC: Yes, I have finally gotten around to making the sequel to my story topic. I was planning on posting it a few days from now, but as June 10th was the day the original was posted, it seemed like a good idea to start it on the day it was first made; the 'anniversary', if you will. Anyway, now it begins...

--------------- ----------------

~Prologue - Ascension from Darkness~

--------------- ----------------

Kael grinned in anticipation as Slife and Kirbyking charged at her again from both directions at once, their blades glinting off of the flickering lights. The room was pretty much trashed by the weapons and tactics of the warriors. Computer consoles dented in, glass and silicon littering the floor, crunching under their feet as they had fought. Most of the lights were out, and by the slow rise of the heat in the room, she guessed that one of them had damaged the air conditioning. Forcing that note aside, she brought her halberd mace down before her, smashing the slash staff into the ground, its spinning blades digging gouges along the reinforced steelcrete flooring. Her sword was thrust behind her, ricocheting Slifle's blade aside into a chair. As it stuck, she kicked his arm off the hilt with one hit, forcing him to stumble backwards with a second. As he stood dazed for a moment, she turned her attention to KK, who was slowly forcing his staff upwards from under hers. As she pushed it back into the ground, whirling edges jamming against axe-blades, her cochlear implants caught the sound of Slife grabbing his sword off the ground and charging her as quietly as possible.

Grinning with malice, she let go of her staff and leapt upward, her boot catching the staff and throwing it into KK's face, stunning him. Slife, surprised, smashed right into KK, barely avoiding impaling him with his sword. As they both fell into a heap, she landed behind them, giving a slight chuckle as she picked up her staff.
"I could do this all day," she mused to herself as she turned to see who would attack her next. She saw Crater Moon at the other end of the room, preparing to fire a magic attack, when a blaring alarm cut through the din of sparking machines and whirring electronics.
"Warning. Warning. Universal Constructer Power Core's automatic cooling systems damaged. Primary and Secondary Saftey Interlocks disabled. Power overload imminent. Detonation in approximately thirteen minutes. All personell evacuate immediately."
"D*mn," she cursed to herself. The Universal contructer used massive amounts of power drawn from the core of the small planet. With a core breach, the entire planet would split open like a bananna if it detonated. "No time to play with these guys anymore..."

As Crater stopped, confused by the sudden warning, Kael darted towards him faster than greased lightning. She leapt up, and just as Crater turned back to see this new turn of events, he caught a boot in the face. As it hit, Kael used this collision as a springboard to shoot her over the now falling warrior, and towards a large metal door. She smashed through it, and shot down the hallway. In the width of three seconds, she had dissapeared. As the warriors rushed to Crater, Luigi helping him up, they turned towards the metal door.
"Lets get after her!" rallied Kirbyking, spurring them after their nimble opponent.

--------------- ----------------

The freight elevator reached the top of the shaft just in time for them to spot Kael's ship soaring out of the large hangar bay, followed by two transport craft. A third was being loaded up with scientific supplies, guarded by six assaut droids. As they turned towards the group, rasing their blasters, they were cut down by a quick barrage of magical attacks and weaponsfire.
"Seven Minutes Remaining," was the last the group heard of the voice as the landing ramp shut and sealed, and they shot over the terrain towards where Lucius's ship was concealed. Soon afterwards, the group shot away from the surface of the planet. Inside the abandoned laboratory, A lone voice droned to itself.

"Final warning to personell. Five seconds remaining."
"Four. Three. Two. One."
"Countdown comp-"

--------------- ----------------

In the Nuclear Warhead, the commanding officers sat patiently, waiting for any responce from the team. A mere luitenant turned towards the admiral, who sat in his chair, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
"Sir, should we send an investigative team? None of them have reported back." He said quietly. The admiral turned towards the lower officer.
"Be patient. If they're in trouble, they'll give us a sign."
Then the planet exploded.
It wasnt a massive explosion, nor even an engulfing explosion. Nay, the planet visible shuddered, then seemed to simply crack apart. The northern continent snapped off the main peice, crumbling apart under the force of the underlying blast, bulging open under the stress. As the oceans evaporated, the magma that seeped through the broken peices froze instantly as chunks of the crust, forced away from the planet under the pressure, dissapated the atmosphere with their passing. As the rest of the planet shuddered under this force, the surface frosting over rapidly as all heat instantly dissapeared, the Liutentant turned a shocked gaze towards the Admiral, who was wearing a similar expression.
"Does that count, sir?"

--------------- ----------------

Lucius stood in his quarters about his personal ship, the Black Hole, staring out at the stars. Kael had escaped from Darth Bowser's fleet, and was now somewhere in the galaxy, plotting her next move. He sighed; She would return one day, to get her revenge.
"Thinking?"
He turned, to look at the voice. Luigi, who was the only other person on board his ship, had quietly entered the room from behind him. He sighed, and nodded.
"Yes. Just wondering about what the future holds."
"You miss her, don't you?" He grimaced, wondering if he actually did. However, he suddenly shook off the thought, as some clarity came to the situation.
"I miss my sister, yes. However, my real sister is dead. The shell that the scientists used is only that; a shell of her body, filled with memories but with nothing attached to them. Her personality, the soul inside of her that made up who she was, died long ago. Whatever has occupied her, despite her looks, voice, and even memories, will never be my sister."
"So what you said before was true, back in that facility?"
"Yes."
"Well, now that she has gotten away from us, do you think It will be over? Will she simply hide from us, now that her identity is revealed, and with no way to attack us on a major front?"
Lucius stood for a second, staring out at the streaks of light from passing stars, before slightly turning towards the other.
"No."
And with that, they both were silent.

Four Years Later

--------------- ----------------

Lucius grinned, looking over the dusty shops and buildings lining the streets as people darted from place to place, everyone seeming to have something to do or somewhere to go. His white cape slowly drifted behind him as he strolled down the walkway, glacing casually from shop to shop, ignoring the surprised glances that looked over his outfit, which stood out from the dusty browns and reds that was the normal garb of the planetary denizens. Corven VII, a planet comprised of mostly plains, was his current locale; It had slowly evolved into the bustling cityscape that it was now, and had done so rather successfully. It was now known throughout the galaxy as one of the best makers of technology around. Lucius had arrived there only out of need of such technology; His ship had been damaged badly, and required a new weapon controller chip. So, he had arrived, seeking one of the best computer-designers in the galaxy; one of the few people who could make such a chip. However, as he continued strolling along, looking for the shop he seeked, he was stopped by numerous sounds coming from around a bend before him. The smash of stone walls being burst, the countless yells of panic from the crowds of people, which rapidly turned to run from whatever was causing havoc, and the roar of some inhuman creature. He glanced up and down the street; He could see no policing units in sight. Sighing, he reached up and grabbed his sword from it's hilt. "I guess it's up to me alone, he thought, weaving through the crowd and dashing around the corner.

What met him around the corner was staggering. He stopped, frozen in his tracks, by what met him. "It couldn't be... The last time I saw one of those was almost four years ago!". Standing in the wrecked walls of the shop he had been seeking, clutching some unknown device in it's fist, was a gargantuan wolf-man, almost exactly the same to the one that had attacked him and his allies outside of the Military base where he had found Kael. However, as he shook himself out of his mental shock, the creature turned to spot him. Roaring in suprise at the newfound arrival, it turned to escape down the street. Lucius would have no such thing. Raising his sword, he charged up some energy into his sword, and fired a beam of red light towards him quarry. As it hit the creature in the back, it roaded in pain as it cut right through it, burning off skin, bone, and muscle tissue in an instant. It fell to the ground, defeated, the machine it carried rolling away from it's corpse. Lucius did not look into the shop, it's owner most certainly dead, as evidenced by the blood visibly coating the deamon's claws. Instead, he turned towards the machine it had once carried. Crouching down and picking up the machine, he was at a loss to what it was. However, as he pondered it's usage to his nemesis, he was startled by more screams down the road. Glancing up, he saw hundreds more of these creatures, aswell as some others that he could not identify from this range. They were apperantly searching for the technology that this one had found. Not wanting to meet and greet the small army, Lucius turned and ran back down the road, back towards his ship...

--------------- ----------------

Back in the Black Hole, and currently en route away from the planet, he took a look over of the machine. It was a small cylinder, about the width of a soda can, but twice as long. One side had a clear panel, looking into a large mass of circuit boards and wires. He had no idea what it was, but he knew that there was more than one expert in electronics in the galaxy. He turned to one of the control panels in front of his and quickly typed in a request for information. In seconds, a holograpic image superimosed itself in front of the veiwscreen, showing just one other name than the recently deceased Mastercraftsman.

"Garroth Huges - Thitus III"

[I}"Hmm. This isnt good. She probably has sent some of her troops to get at him as well. And if not, she will be sure to, as she knows her first plan failed. She probably knows someone is onto her, and is probably sending people after me as well. I'll need some help in finding out what she is after..."[/i]
And with that, he quickly wrote up a message and sent out out across space...

--------------- ----------------

OoC: Anyway, just join by posting your responce to his message, and going to meet Lucius at Thitus III... or whatever =P. Also, ignore any spelling errors/etc. Stupid Wordpad doesnt have a spellchecker.

OOC:I didn't know there had been a first one originally, but this seems so interesting and I have nothing else to do.Anyway...

Lucius's messege would have reached the massive Centaurian Empire in all likely hood hundreds of millions, or billions of years after this would have ended.However, several systems away the Centaurian Empire had started a out landish colony 2 years earlier and the colonist relayed the message to the capital right away through hyperspace.Later that day a small fleet of 26 destroyers appeared around the colony from another galaxy and sent a response back to Lucius's message.


Lucius's had no idea that there was a Centaurian Empire.Even more amazing they were offering any assistance needed.All that from a race and empire that had never been encoutered by anyone in this galaxy before.He read a certain part of the messesage over again "We may send tens-of-thousands of ships of all sizes and hundreds of thousands of troops.".He knew it probably wouldn't be enough if there was a massive intersteller war.Although he seriously doubted any number that big would be sent for any small incident.

"Geeze, how many wars can we be involved in at the same time.We're already in 4 different wars, 2 of them major ones!, what the hell is the emperor thinking!" General David yelled at a meeting with his ship ad army commanders as they prepared to depart towards the newly colonized galaxy.
"Sir, you know we all agree with you-"
"I don't these people sound like they really need the help!" Admiral Nagerus interrupted.
"Anyway," General Magnerpoe continued "but we need to plan on everything for what could happen..." and the meeting continued.

OOC:Sorry I didn't type more but I'm getting tired.Been up for a few days now.

[NintendoGod]

Heh. It's all right David. And since you seemed interested, i'll bump the original so you can see it.

And for everyone else, I made a mistake - I meant just to meet him where he is, near Thitus III, Not at it.

[d]

Thanks for bumbing it up NG.I'm about to read it now.
Edit:Oh yeah, I nearly forgot I'm going to be gone from Friday to Monday without access to a computer.I'll post a good post (hopefully) when I return on a late Monday night, I really hate these 8 hour car drives.

[Omni_Link]

ooc: interesting....

*daemon was surrounded at all sides by these strong warriors. daemon stood 6'5, 220lbs, ripped with a medium build, black male, hair braided back. daemon wore a black trench caot(think seporith) with a black gi uniform underneath(think akuma). dark magus's army had found him and wanted him dead to weaken omni link's forces. the black warrior stood there with a grin on his face. trues the warriors surrounding him were strong...but still stood no chance*

"well well daemon,"said there captain,"it seems your fight against us is finally comming to an end. you cant possibly beat the 6 of us, we have studied your skills and general kefka had sent some of the best warriors of dark magus's army to eliminate you."

"well you seem pretty confident,"replied daemon,"but you don't just attack...why?

"enough of this,"cried out the captain in anger,"if you want to die so badthen-"

"hello what is this?,"daemon said seeing a message decend from what it seemed like space totally ignoring the captains raving.

*a message on(i'm guessing paper in an envalope) came down slowly towards where the troops and daemon were. daemon pulled out his wooden staff looking up at the falling letter. the captain inraged by the lack of fear and respect ordered the attack*

"kill him him!!!,"yelled the captain as the troops rushed with swords drawn.

*as the troops came into range daemon held out his staff, arm sticking all the way out, and twirled knocking all of the grunts to the ground while still looking up at the sky. one troop got up from behind daemon and brought his sword down towards daemon's back. daemon brought his staff down behind his back to block the attack. the sword hit the wood, but did not slice through it*

"what!!!!,"cried the warrior in suprise,"but its just-oof!"

*daemon had brought up his staff and hit the grunt in the chin. daemon then hit the grunt in the stomach k.o.ing him. 2 other warriors at the time had recovered from the 1st attack and had started rushing from seperate sides. they were both going to impale him from both sides. daemon thrust his staff into the ground, as the warriors thrusted there swords at him. daemon grabbed there blades, and put one in front of him stabbing the man on the other side with it. he at the same time grabbed the other blade and put it behind him and stab the other guy. the 2 grunts fell to the ground dead, as the evelope fell to his hands. daemon opened and read as the remainning grunts got to there feet*

"lets use that one move general kefka had tought us,"said one.

"right,"the other 2 said in agreement.

*they got into a triangle around daemon, 20 feet away from him, and chanted. as daemon continued to reed the letter, the grunts had finished there chant. one held a ball of fire, another a ball of lightning, and the last a ball of ice*

"now guys!!!,"shouted one.

"fire whirlwind,"shouted the fire holder as a whirwind of fireblasted from the ball of fire towards daemon.

"arctic winter"shouted the ice ball holder as ice sicles surrounded by the power of ice blasted from the ball towards daemon.

"giga bolt!,"shouted the lightning ball holder as a single powerfull bolt of lightning from the ball at daemon.

*daemon finished reading the letter as the attacks were blasted. daemon looked around at all directions and grabbed his staff. a clear ball of power appeared at the tip of his staff. it absorbed the attacks, makking it grow into the size of a meteor*

"sorry guys,"said daemon,"but i got buisness else where. well see ya when i'm dead. POWER STRIKE!!!"

*daemon lept up high and brought his staffdown in a strikking motion, throwing the ball of energy at the ground. daemon did not look back as he flew into space, surrounded in a ball by his power so that he would breath. as daemon left the atmosphere he herd a small explosion, but knew it was strong enough to take care of that captain and the remainder of his group*

"well it looks like this trip i'm going on is going to drain my power considerably,"thought daemon,"well no looking back now gotta go."

*daemon summoned all of his strength and flew at thespeed of sound towards this Thitus III to meet a fellow warrior in need*

ooc2: so are you going to post are meetings with lucious? and was this post to much?

[NintendoGod]

In a sense, yes. And post however much you want - it doesnt hurt.

[Omni_Link]

ooc: ok then. now i'll just wait for others to post or you to post. i got things to do now any way.

[DARTH BOWSER]

OOC: Hey NGod, guess I will join. Gotta have the Darth Bowser

Around the Armoria(for those that may not know, the Armoria is Darth Bowser's version of a Death Star, but instead of building it, Darth Bowser just took his homeplanet and turned it into a super battlestation), shuttles and various fighters and other ships swarmed and flew. A bit further away stood the fleet of the Empire of Darth Bowser, complete with the very large daggered form of the Nuclear Warhead.

On the Nuclear Warhead, Darth Bowser sat in his personal quarters when a speaker beeped. "Sir, incoming message."

Darth Bowser grumbled a bit and replied "Put it on the screen." Darth Bowser saw the message. "You have my fleet, let me know where to meet you and it will be there." Darth Bowser resumed what he was doing, cleaning his personal firearm collection.

[ June 14, 2003, 09:54 AM: Message edited by: DARTH BOWSER ]

[DARTH BOWSER]

The massive fleet tore out of hyperspace and started it's slow path towards Thitus III. The Armoria warped in as well, a large sphere contrast against the other forms of the ships.

"We will be there within the hour, sir." An officer called out.

"Good, good." A commander on the Nuclear Warhead replied back.

[NintendoGod]

OoC: Cool. Lots of joiners. Almost ready to start. Just waiting for WolfoSmak to re-join, as his post was deleted.

[d]

"Well, might as well leave now."GD ordered and the flagship of the entire Alpha Centaurian Fleet, the newly built Darious III took off into hyperspace.

4 hours later the Darious III came out of hyperspace at Thitus III.The flagship was a planetoid bigger than Thitus III armed with some of the most powerful weapons in the universe and carrying over 400,000 crew members plus several million of the most expertly trained troops in the universe and just as well armed.It also contained a few hundred thousand of fighters and bombers.They even had several hundred of the new Bolo tanks that had been developed that could act on their own.

"Send a messege to Lucius that we have arrived and I will be boarding his ship for a meeting in a few minutes." GD ordered Admiral Nagerus.

GD's cutter took off from the Darious III just as some of the others started to arrive in system.The cutterarrived and docked with the Black Hole.GD got off and saw Luigi and Lucius already in a deep conversation about old times...

[NintendoGod]

Note: I'm going on a trip for a few days, and I dont have time to post before I leave. I'll be back on Sunday/Monday, I suppose.
