The Hutt Gamble.... - Page 3

Deac · 05-09-2002, 05:34 PM

Damn! I've just seen my own death! But wait...shouldn't...

*Time changes. Future Deac is now the Deac of the first future. He doesn't take such a risk*

Future Deac: Deac, veer off! You're gonna hit something big in a few seconds!

**Redwing** · 05-10-2002, 01:21 AM

Time to die, little Jedi! *Rwos Darkstar sends a blast of energy through the wall, aiming for Corzip...the nearest person to him*

Deac · 05-11-2002, 05:48 PM

*Present Deac force pushes Corzip safely out of the way. And then something dawns on him...*

Rwos![He still doesn't know Rwos is being possessed.] If you kill ANY of us...then the future won't exist and this can never happen!

Get him!

**Redwing** · 05-13-2002, 01:36 AM

((OOS: Deac, can you clarify? I'm a little confused...

When you said: Damn! I've just seen my own death! But wait...shouldn't...

*Time changes. Future Deac is now the Deac of the first future. He doesn't take such a risk*

Future Deac: Deac, veer off! You're gonna hit something big in a few seconds!

What is the "first future"? What happened there?))

Deac · 05-13-2002, 05:23 PM

[Future Deac came back. Future Deac is not the Deac from The Alternate Universe . This Deac is from a future where he battles Rwos Darkstar. After time changes the Deac from The Alternate Universe is now in the old Future Deac's place.]

[And the award for the most use of the word Deac goes to-

Deac! For the above!]

**Redwing** · 05-14-2002, 12:07 AM

((OOS: Then how does he not know that Rwos is possessed?))

Deac · 05-14-2002, 04:53 PM

[Present Deac by now knows Rwos is somehow evil. Future Deac knows it's the Darkstar.

You should really be careful when messing with time and alternate universes.]

**Redwing** · 05-14-2002, 09:06 PM

((OOS: No, I just got confused with some of the wording.

A little fun thing we can do now...Rwos' teleporter's magic safeguards will protect all versions of Rwos, Deac and Corzip from being affected in the future by changes in this timeframe...but the timeframe itself can be changed to anything. (Unless, say, one of us died, then we'd dissappear in the future --- RPG for all)

So...let's have some fun with this!

We can worry about fixing everything later.

Space-time continuum, here we come...

))

Rwos aims for Deac this time. But the heavily damaged ship chooses this moment for it's remaining repulsorlifts to give out.

Collision course with a duracrete hangar floor a thousand feet below.

((OOS: This is a really frikkin BIG hangar btw

))

A Firespray emerges from the other side of the cloak field.

Deac · 05-15-2002, 03:52 PM

Present Deac: This is probably what Goroppa wanted me to find and how he wanted me to die!

Future Deac: You can't. Otherwise it would already have happened by the time you I got here!

Present Deac: What about this evil Rwos?

**Redwing** · 05-15-2002, 08:50 PM

Who cares? I don't, as long as you end up dead!

Deac · 05-17-2002, 03:41 PM

Future Deac: Darkstar, killing any of us changes the future that we go back to. This has gone on long enough. Go back to our time or we will possibly erase you from existence.

**Redwing** · 05-17-2002, 09:36 PM

HOW IN HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GO BACK? I'M STUCK HERE, THANKS TO YOU! BUT AT LEAST I CAN STILL KILL YOU!

*Rwos throws energy beams at Deac. Deac dodges into a corridor. Rwos charges after him, but stumbles and can't regain his footing. Klaxons blare in the falling ship. WARNING: GRAV SYSTEMS DAMAGED.*

Rwos manages to regain his footing, now walking on one of the walls. The ship continues to hurtle toward the hangar floor, thousands of feet below.

Deac · 05-18-2002, 03:52 PM

If you want to survive, Darkstar, then leave Rwos body. You'll find yourself returning to our time. I'm giving you to the count of 10 before I erase you from history!

**Redwing** · 05-18-2002, 06:10 PM

He's lying...this creature's memories tell me that the teleporter has "magic safeguards" that prevent that from happening...even if he could do it.

You're bluffing, Wuss Starkiller!

Deac · 05-20-2002, 05:09 PM

You've been around Syrnl for too long. His attitude's begun to rub off on you!

*As Rwos Darkstar begins to plan somekind of response, Future Deac shatters the medallion with his lightsaber-not the Starkiller sword, oddly.*

9....8...7...6...5...4...

**Redwing** · 05-22-2002, 02:01 AM

((OOS: Remember, the medallion fused with Rwos' chest))

*Rwos clutches his chest/the medallion in pain. He glares at Deac with rage.* You scum! When will it penetrate your skull that I AM INDESTRUCTIBLE?? *He takes his hand off his chest. The medallion has healed back together, thanks to the regenerative abilities of the body it is fused with.* The medallion is now a part of Rwos' body, just as I am a part of his mind! Face the truth Starkiller! Your wu---your friend is gone! Now there is only ME!

*As if to prove himself wrong, Rwos Darkstar suddenly grabs his head.* AAARRRRRGH! Why won't you STAY DOWN?? Oh....SHIT!

He utteres this distinctively Terran euphemism for a good reason. The hangar floor below races towards them at an incredible speed. Rwos Darkstar runs for the opening of the falling ship and leaps out, opening his wings.

Impact.

Deac · 05-22-2002, 04:57 PM

Present Deac: That fool. When's he going to realise that WE can't die, otherwise Future Deac and him won't ever exist!

*Future Deac doesn't need to hear this. He leaps out and lands close to Darkstar*

When are you going to get it that the only way this can possibly end is your defeat one way or another. It's already happened. I'm offering you an easy way out.

**Redwing** · 05-22-2002, 10:25 PM

*in the air above Deac* Ah, but you're wrong, Deac Starkiller. None of this has happened. I have clear memories of this event. You never came here. You fought Slave One, and miraculously escaped thanks to your Jedi gunner. You fled into hyperspace with your engines leaking, and by the time you came back this place was gone. *grins and looks at the smoking hulk of the ship* Now your friend is gone, and Rwos is mine. Yet I am still here. So I think it's a safe bet that if I kill you, it won't change a thing. *from midair, aims his hand at Deac Starkiller* And now, you've got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and you're not going to be Deac Starkiller much longer, you're going to be Dead Starkiller. *laughs at his own joke* Say goodbye, Wuss! *A large ball of energy appears around his hand, and....

it stays there.*

What??? Why?? Why?? Why can't I kill you???

Deac · 05-23-2002, 05:51 PM

Because, even by possessing Rwos and coiming back here, you have undone yourself. I'm not going to invite my new arch-nemesis to go with me to shut down a portal to an alternate universe, you won't conquer my friend, and you'll NEVER EXIST!!!

*Pop! On this realisation, Rwos Darkstar begins to fade away...*

[Hahaha! Never mess with the timeline whilst using some else's bad guy and that someone else understands temperal mechanics*

**Redwing** · 05-24-2002, 02:03 AM

((OOS: Ummm, Deac...you didn't read my OOSes did you

...Rwos can't fade away...the teleporter prevents that from happening...if it wasn't for the teleporter, the instant Rwos Darkstar teleported to this dimension, he would have ceased to exist, because for him to exist, technically, this had to happen. The teleporter is shielding him from the effects. It's apparently shielding Deac as well. Of course, these events have to be undone somehow because if Rwos Darkstar keeps existing up to the time where he was supposed to be Termand Rwos in the Alternate Universe to be possessed by the Darkstar and come here, he will then cease to exist, and the time line will get...really screwed up.

Until then, he's simply overwriting events like a virus in the time stream.))

Deac · 05-24-2002, 04:14 PM

[I can deal with this!!]

*The distortion in space time causes the surrounding air to ripple. Thousands of feet above and beyond our heroes, a huge black spot appears. Darkstar's distortion has caused a black hole to open. All our heroes are now being sucked toward it....*

Mega Morta · 05-24-2002, 06:27 PM

Yeah, but what about the docking station? Is that suposed to be destoyed? (notice zora has not said a word)

**Redwing** · 05-24-2002, 08:44 PM

((OOS: @ M&M: Everyone in the ship died except Deac and Rwos...you'll hafta wait till this gets undone to talk again

@ Deac: That works actually...the teleporter's magic conflicting with the forces at work in the space time continuum

))

What in seven hells is going on?! *Rwos Darkstar plants his claws deep in the hangar floor resisting the pull. Just to make things even better, the teleporter again begins blaring loudly* SHUT UP DAMMIT!! SHUT UP!!!!!

Deac · 05-25-2002, 06:03 PM

*Because more and more of the key events that caused this to happen in the first place have been altered, the black hole only grows larger!*

Future Deac: Darkstar, allow the body to die if you want your soul to live. I'm afraid this is it for this timeline!....

*Future Deac is sucked into the black hole. He's now back where he belongs, and can remember it all[ So he's back in The Alternate Universe].

As the black hole expands, the metal plate with Rwos Darkstar's claws in is torn away. Eventually he is sucked in, the final sound escaping is a scream.

But is the darkstar now seperate? And where will Rwos Darkstar end up? Certainly not here. Time changes again.

The craft is leaving hyperspace*

Well team, Deyes is well behind us. Hey...is that Slave 1?

**Redwing** · 05-25-2002, 06:29 PM

What's---

*Rwos stops abruptly. His teleporter beeps and flashes once*

Hey...where am I? What happened?

((OOS:

))

Deac · 05-27-2002, 03:46 PM

I don't know. I seem to remember...no that must've been a dream.

*Slave 1 fires*

Let's make sure this isn't!

**Redwing** · 05-27-2002, 08:21 PM

*Rwos grabs the turret again and starts firing at Slave One again (and missing, of course)*

Ugh...fighters are so much better. ...a dream? So you remember something too? All I remember is...blackness...

Deac · 06-02-2002, 04:12 PM

Wait...I have an idea. One taught to me by my "Nephew" *Deac doesn't yet know the truth about Syrnl*

*The ship jumps to lightspeed, and two seconds later arrives inside the plantary defenses*

Don't thank me, thank Orthos!

**Redwing** · 06-02-2002, 07:53 PM

*disoriented* Wha-what did you just do?!

Deac · 06-03-2002, 04:56 PM

Micro lightspeed jump. Get ready to land...

**Redwing** · 06-04-2002, 04:00 AM

((CUE Corzip saying something...Wraithy, where are you?

))

*Wraith 8* · 06-05-2002, 07:05 AM

*Corzip is lying on the floor in the engine compartment. he wakes up amd sees a red blur in his right eye. he feels it. it is blood. his left arm is also covered in blood. His head hurts. he tries to get up.. but he cant. to much pain. he tries to heal himself with the force.. but he doesnt have enough energy. he tries tyo cal for help.*

Hello! any one out there? Hello?!

Deac · 06-05-2002, 03:37 PM

*Deac hears Corzip's pleas and runs to the engine room.

Deac's little stunt has a side effect. As Corzip wasn't in an acceleration couch or seat, he was flung against the nearest object when they jumped to lightspeed he is very weak.*

Rwos! Get the med kit! I'm gonna try a force heal! Stat!

**Redwing** · 06-05-2002, 10:39 PM

*Rwos gets the medkit while managing to look confused and panicked at the same time*

Deac · 06-07-2002, 03:37 PM

*Corzip is fast losing blood. It has no time to clot, and Deac's force healing may be too slow. Then an idea comes to his head*

Hold very still, Corzip, and don't be alarmed.

*Deac ignites his saber, and holds it a few centermetres away from the wound. The blot instantly dries and clots due to the heat.*

*Wraith 8* · 06-10-2002, 08:40 AM

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH this doesnt realy FEEL any better.

what happened? how long was i out?

**Redwing** · 06-11-2002, 03:19 AM

Not very long...

*Wraith 8* · 06-11-2002, 08:18 AM

Now you are a lot of help you know that ((

))

Deac · 06-11-2002, 04:48 PM

Are you well enough to leave the ship?

**Redwing** · 06-11-2002, 11:18 PM

Speaking of the ship...

Who's flying?!
