*Molar Ganis, Syrnl's first officer, answers the comm*

Ganis: This is Pheonix. We're beginning bombardment. The Reavers and the Imperial palace are gone. Lokpihet Darkstar is out. Unfortunatley, Syrnl has fallen...

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

Orthos: Any ideas?

Admiral · 01-22-2003, 02:45 PM

Idun: Well it depends upon what type of weapon it is and how it's powered.

*Meanwhile Heimdall throws two more crystals each at the very corner of the door, both are vaporized.*

Heimdall: Well it obviously is has movement sensors.

**Redwing** · 01-22-2003, 10:27 PM

Raschel: *to Orthos* ...Father? Syrnl? What happened?

Marin: *to Heimdall* Could be, unless it's just an energy field filling the room.

Guy: *takes a device from his belt* This scanner can sense and identify different energy signatures. Maybe it'll give us some idea as to how it's powered.

*The scanner hums for a moment*

Guy: That's strange. This scanner shows magic energy - and Force energy - all around us. That's something I've never seen before in this dimension...in fact I wouldn't have thought it possible...

Aidan: Who cares? Does your scanner show you anything helpful?

Guy: Maybe. *motions to the strange machinery lining pieces of the wall of the room they stand in* The scanners show ley lines - magic power lines - leading to the several of those...devices. We may be able to disable the trap from those.

Deac · 01-23-2003, 01:29 PM

*Orthos moves away to Raschel*

Syrnl's...dead. I don't know how...but I don't seem to be able to feel Lokpihet or Reletha either. It looks like there will be no more Darkstars...

Kuuki · 01-23-2003, 04:48 PM

Another day, another post to edit...

*The two Irvine's land and get out. they were about around 500 yards away from the running syrnl.*

RH Irvine: "Let's go..."

*WH Irvine nods.*

*After a hundred or so paces after passing a few blast doors, RH Irvine notices the Syrnl has sped up to about 600 yards away, and already been engaged in a lightsaber duel with Lokpehit, both doing so in force speed. The explosion occurs, and a hunk of metal, large enough to be used as blast shields, Flies at the two. WH Irvine increases his strength to weither most of the impact, but not enough to hit them both. The Irvine's fly back and get knocked out by the blast. Neither of them have any serious injuries, other then a few bones broken and a concussion or two...*

**Redwing** · 01-24-2003, 04:05 AM

((OOS: Ummm, Scar, that explosion was designed to take out an advanced Imperial Star Destroyer

and the Reavers are as tall as buildings. If the Irvines were where you described them they are both certainly dead

spoiler:
Deac, remember Reletha needs to be alive because of Cantina 7 and the fact that she needs to train Ken'atra

))

Raschel: Orthos...I'm sorry. But well...you thought he died once before...didn't you? Maybe...

Marin: May? How? Do any of us know how to use anything like those? ...No?

Guy: I've seen relics that looked a little like those...but no, I don't know how they work.

Aidan: *claws his hand* Why don't I just demolish them...

Marin: Wait. Maybe we don't have to. I have alot of morphs acquired...maybe one of them can get around that trap.

Aidan: *disbelieving* And you're perfectly fine with using yourself as a guinea pig?

*Misae reignites the lightsaber in her hand*

Deac · 01-24-2003, 01:32 PM

Orthos: He came back because he was allowed to. He wanted a second chance so badly the powers that be let him have it. He won't be coming back.

Kuuki · 01-24-2003, 04:58 PM

*the explosion left ntohing more but a large crater... Stromtroopers shift through the edges of the rubble, looking for anyone whom survived...*

Stormtrooper: "Why did this happen?"

*The Stormtrooper walks some more, then sees a hand on an edge of a large retangular piece of metal. If the large hunk of flat metal wasn't stopped by other pieces of rubble and metal, it would have crushed the metal's occupents...*

Stormtrooper: "We need a medic over here!"

Deac · 01-25-2003, 01:00 PM

*Molar sits himself in Syrnl's chair*

Molar: Syrnl ordered me to play some music this battle...

*Molar keys in a sequence and music plays over the comm. It is music from the Alternate Universe, entitled "Victory of the Fallen"*

Recording: This is Lord Syrnl. If you hear this, then I have perished in battle. Do not be afraid, I have had my second chance and hope that I have redeemed myself. I urge you, never stop fighting, until the last enemy has fallen. Fear not for those who are gone, but stive on, until the end, when we shall all be free!

Kuuki · 01-25-2003, 02:20 PM

*Both Irvines are put into Bacta tanks, in a secure location on Couresant.*

*A Doctor runs in from a DNA scanning room.*

Medical Doctor: "Geez, these test results on their blood."

2nd Doctor: "What is it."

Medical Doctor: "Both are conclusive, They are like twins but not..."

2nd Doctor: "Wow. Did ya figure out who they are?"

Medical Doctor: "No, not yet. We have the data to find who ever these two are, someone just kept em a secret, maybe for a long time..."

2nd Doctor: "Well, I have found something with the one you say is younger, the one with the White hair, It seems that he once had a quite vatial virus at one time, thats why he has that white hair. But I took a little more research on that, and it seems that only clones had been able to been able to survive that kind of virus..."

Medical Doctor: "Well I did too find some ilregularities caused by cloning, but the age difference between these two. One's hardly older then the other..."

2nd Doctor: "Well somebody wanted twins..."

**Redwing** · 01-25-2003, 10:56 PM

Raschel: Yes...you said he was in another universe in fact...did he ever tell you how he got back here?

*Another universe. For some reason that made something click in Raschel's mind, although she couldn't tell what it was*

Marin: Magic, you said...

Guy: Yes. Those ley lines, also...there's something strange about them. They aren't very powerful, but they have a very strong energy output. Usually this would be the reverse because anyone with a magic talent would be able to sense them...

Aidan: ...He's right. Even I can sense them, now that I'm thinking about them...

Marin: Maybe we aren't the only one to ever have come to this dimension from ours. Maybe the person or persons who built this trap had this in mind...

Aidan: *stops* What do you mean?

Marin: That's it. I don't know why I didn't think of it before! It all makes sense.

Aidan: What makes sense? I don't see any sense making here.

Marin: The story of the Time Matrix existing in both our dimensions. The Norns recognizing Guy. The magic here. All of it. We aren't the first...whoever built these traps must have had at least some people from our dimension...

Guy: You think those ley lines were designed to be detected by someone who had magical ability?

Marin: Could be. If I'm right, if we just cut them, the power should go out.

Aidan: How do you cut a ley line?

Guy: You need special tools that I don't have here. Or you could overload them...

*Aidan puts his hands on the wall* Like this? *His hands flash with energy. The wall cracks*

Marin: Careful! You're going to take the place down. Guy, can I have that? *takes the scanner and walks over to Aidan* Focus it here...*to Misae* Why do you have your lightsword on?

Misae: I sense something...

Admiral · 01-25-2003, 11:27 PM

*Heimdall and Idun are off to the side*

Heimdall: It does take them sometime to figure things out.

Idun: Yes but it is necessary. what did you see in the room?

Heimdall: What looks like another key, and a piece of paper. Couldn't see what is on the paper, however I'm hoping that it contains instructions.

Deac · 01-27-2003, 01:42 PM

Orthos: I feel something too. Something bad....

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

*Coruscant. A soldier raises the New Republic flag above the ruins of the Imperial Palace. Survivors cheer.*

Kuuki · 01-27-2003, 03:36 PM

Medical Doctor: "Still no word on their identities..."

*a group of people in robes marches in.*

*A man in robes, approches the doctors...*

Man in robes waves hand: "We are in charge here now... You will forget any information about these two..."

*as the doctors "agree" the others open the tanks. pull out the two Irvine's, and take them away, still unconsious...*

Admiral · 01-28-2003, 01:40 PM

Heimdall: Is the power running to the machine cut off?

**Redwing** · 01-29-2003, 12:59 AM

*Aidan stops the stream of energy from his hand to the wall* Unless you're going to get over here and help, why don't you shut up and let me concentrate?

*Marin looks surprised, then concerned* What's the matter, Aidan?

Aidan: Nothing. *sends another bolt of energy into the wall* Are they cut yet?

*Marin scans the wall with the detector* Yes. They're cut.

Admiral · 01-29-2003, 10:31 AM

Heimdall: Then lets see if that is all we have to do.

*He takes another piece of the crystal and tosses it. this time it lands safly on the cieling*

Heimdall: How cute, they reversed gravity in that room. otherwise it looks safe to enter.

Kuuki · 01-29-2003, 01:02 PM

*Growing impatant*

Spectar: "Well?"

Deac · 01-29-2003, 01:35 PM

Orthos: This may be fun...

*Orthos runs in, to find himself hitting the ceiling*

Ouch....

Admiral · 01-29-2003, 02:23 PM

*Heimdall smiles as he watches Orthos hit the cieling. He walks towards the door, Entering the threshold he places his hands on the doorframe. He lifts himself up with his legs entering the new room. Letting go of the doorframe he lands on the cieling feet first. He then walks over to where the crystal landed and picked it up.*

Heimdall: I still think there is something more to this room.

*He looks around the room, and gets his first good look. On the walls were spikes spaced a good deal apart. On impulse Heimdall throws the crystal shard at one of the spikes. Instead of hitting the cieling the shard slams into the wall, near the spike with enough force to shatter it.*

Heimdall: Figures, if your not careful you can find your self impalled by one of the spikes. Someone really had fun with the gravity in this room. I wonder how many other areas have gravity being in different dirrections.

**Redwing** · 01-29-2003, 10:46 PM

((OOS: We're pretending their conversation happened offscreen, Scar

))

*Misae still doesn't enter the room* Something is coming.

Marin: Coming? What's coming?

*The rooms' floor begins to vibrate, then shake*

Misae: *holding up her lightsaber* It's here.

Deac · 01-30-2003, 04:15 PM

Orthos: I can feel something...familiar....something very evil.... I hope it's not Fenrir...

*Extends Starkiller Sword*

Admiral · 01-31-2003, 10:39 AM

Heimdall: You said it felt familar then it can't be Fenrir since you have never been exposed to his presance.

*Heimdall walks toward the center of the room, using his sword as a way to measure gravity he avoids any changes (This is done by extending the blade and holding it lightly, if in rest it points to the ceiling then it is safe if it points elsewhere heimdall avoids the area). He reaches the centers and grabs the two items, and stuffs them into his pocket.*

Heimdall: I suggest we leave now.

*Heimdall Goes to the door and leaves the room*

**Redwing** · 02-01-2003, 07:53 PM

*As Heimdall reenters the room, the figure of a robed elf appears in the center of the room, addressing the group*

Elf: *voice mysteriously amplified* The third and final part of this challenge begins now. You will face the beast Caloslocke. Forged on Mrear by the gods of darkness long ago, Caloslocke is a living machine and was created purely for destruction and terror. There is only one way to destroy this beast. When you do so, you will be allowed to leave. If you fail, your bodies shall rot here throughout all eternity.

*The image disappears. The room's floor begins to crack. The walls begin to crumble*

Admiral · 02-01-2003, 11:06 PM

Heimdall: Finally we get to have some fun.

*He and Idun prepare themselves for battle*

Deac · 02-02-2003, 01:09 PM

Caloslocke. Forged by the dark pantheon of Mrear with the intention of general destruction....

*The monster enters. It has a head of a dragon, with two large batlike wings, a scorpion's tail, claws of a monster and a torso made of iron.

Orthos charges toward it...*

**Redwing** · 02-02-2003, 06:35 PM

Aidan: What the...hell is that?

*The beast crawls over the the crumbling walls. Beyond them, an infinite plane of blackness is seen. The only walls still standing were the portions around the entry door, and inside the altered-gravity room.

The beast has a dragonlike head, two large batlike wings, a scorpion tail, five sets of legs with deadly claws on their ends. The very middle section of its body had a segment made from what appeared to be iron*

Aidan: Dragon-scorpion-centipede?

Marin: "Only one way to destroy it", that elf said...and I'm betting it's inside that metal part.

Aidan: Let's see if it survives being ripped apart.

*Aidan roars and jumps on the highest crumbling section of wall. He leaps from that into the air, opening his wings. He sends twin blasts of lightning-like energy at the creature from his hands. The creature rears up and knocks him from the sky.

Misae swings her lightsaber and rushes in at the monster. Guy pulls two blaster like weapons from his belt and starts firing*

Kuuki · 02-02-2003, 07:56 PM

*The two Irvine's are taken to a freighter, WH Irvine now placed in one of another set of Bacta tanks. RH Irvine is proped agenst a wall. A man in robes stands in the dark...*

Man in robes: *To another man in room* "Wake him..."

*The other man walks to RH Irvine, and places a small vile of a small chemical under RH Irvine's nose. RH Irvine quickly awakens...*

RH Irvine: "Urgh..."

Man in robes: "I'd advise you not to attempt to stand, that explosion did put an number on you..."

RH Irvine: "I take this isn't a socal call... I feel like I've been hit by a runaway speeder, with hyper engines. What do you people want?" *Sees WH Irvine in a bacta chamber* "I take it that, there's info you need from me now, huh?"

Man in robes: "Well seeing as your the one whom has the ID chip implant, not him...."

RH Irvine: "Very informitive..." 'still sore...'

Man in robes: "I tend to be... So what exactly WAS your mission on board Syrnl's battleship? Why did you follow him? Why was he killed..."

RH Irvine: "Well your so smart, why don't you know?"

*A thrid man strikes RH Irvine across the face, Irvine didnt sense it coming.*

Man in robes: "Well if I knew, I wouldn't ask you then..." *Nods, and Irvine gets struck again...*

RH Irvine: "Okay then..." 'insensitive pricks...' "First, personal matter, none of your business; Second, Thought I'd get some info whats going on; Third, well if it wasn't for those inco's, I'd say it was a grudge..." *Gets struck again.* "Okay, I see whats going on here, I don't answer a question, I get hit, I answer one either falsely or truthfully, I get hit... Is thats whats going on?" *Gets struck once more...* "Oh yeah, forgot, asking a question..."

Man in robes: "Thats enough..."

Deac · 02-03-2003, 01:36 PM

*The monster roars in front of Orthos' face. In response, Orthos tries to plant his sword in it's upper mouth, but the blade cannot penetrate. He is then replied with fire from it's breath*

Admiral · 02-04-2003, 09:29 PM

*Heimdall begins to circle the creature, He keeps the sword in a middle guard position.

Idun backs off a little, this wasn't her best element. She scans the creature, watching it's movement, studying it to see if she could spot a weakness*

**Redwing** · 02-05-2003, 02:11 AM

*The creature knocks back Orthos with a stream of flame. It turns and hisses at Heimdall, then leaps onto a relatively high section of wall, swiftly and smoothly. It leaps into the air.

Aidan gets into the air as well and glides after it. He sends energy bolt after energy bolt after it, but they have no noticeable effect except to annoy the creature. It turns and sweeps Aidan out of the air again. Aidan hits another wall section, momentarily stunned. The creature circles and shoots a stream of fire again.

Aidan covers his body with a crackling energy field just as the fire sweeps over him. The flames stop and he lowers his arms just in time to see the creature's tail rushing at him.

The tail's spike impales Aidan through his stomach, pinning him to wall. The creature screeches as it withdraws its spike, and Aidan falls to the ground.

Raschel empties her entire blaster clip at the creature. It has no effect, even in getting the creature's attention. Misae's lightsaber does attract the creature, however, which bites it right out of her hand and heaves it spinning across the floor, still ignited.

Marin completes her morph into a large, shimmering blue wolflike creature. She calls out in thought speech* <Guys, I can see some kind of glowy thing in the iron part in its...third set of hips. I think it's a power source of some kind.>

Admiral · 02-05-2003, 11:10 AM

*Heimdall sees the glowing thing seconds after Marin mentions it. Picking up his dagger he throws it with all his might at the section. It barely penetrates, it did widden the area so Heimdall could get a better look at the glowing thing.

Idun moves towards Aidan. Seeing if it were possible to help him*

Deac · 02-05-2003, 01:48 PM

*Orthos lunges for the spot. By doing so, the creature seems to slow down and get even more angry. It knocks Orthos aside once again*

Admiral · 02-05-2003, 04:19 PM

*Heimdall Steps in front of Orthos, protecting him and allowing him to get up*

Heimdall: I'll try to distract it, you go for that spot.

Kuuki · 02-05-2003, 05:08 PM

*WH Irvine was awake during the whole thing... He was still in far too much pain to even do anything...*

RH Irvine: "So are you going to let us two heal, maybe we could be done with some peace..."

**Redwing** · 02-05-2003, 08:52 PM

((OOS: I'll assume Heimdall saw the "glowing thing" through a reflection through a chink in the creature's armor, because Marin's morph is what let her see it (it has a sort of x-ray vision that way...should have mentioned it in the first place ^^;; )))

*The creature takes to the air again. It scatters Heimdall and Orthos with another blast of fire*

Guy: *firing at the creature* We can't hit that if it doesn't hold still!

Marin: <Your belt. Is that a concussion bomb?>

Guy: *somewhat taken aback* Yes, it is...

Marin: <If we can lure the creature to the entrance of the room where Heimdall took the crystals, we can use that to knock it into one of the gravity traps. If it...>

Guy: And if it impales itself on one of the spikes, it will give us a window of at least a few seconds in which to try and deactivate it.

*Guy puts down his blaster, and takes out the concussion bomb*

Deac · 02-06-2003, 02:26 PM

*Orthos runs his finger along the end of his sword, making a small cut. He holds the finger near the creature, which roars and begins to chase him*

Yeah! Come toward me!

*Orthos moves toward the gravity trap*

Kuuki · 02-06-2003, 07:23 PM

*RH Irvine, beaten and battered gets put back into his own tank. while WH Irvine gets released from his...*

WH Irvine: "Okay, what the hell do you want from me??"

Man in robes: "Name. Rank. Designation. Anything else."

WH Irvine: "Simple enough. Irvine Cracken Palpatine. Captain. Unassigned, currently."

Man in robes: "Captian. Have you any clue whom that person is in that tank?"

WH Irvine: "A hell of a look alike..."

Man in Robes: "No, HE is Irvine Cracken Palpatine. He's rank is Commander. His designation is classified. YOUR his clone."

WH Irvine: "WHAT!?"

Man in robes: "Yes, you were his replacement, when he "supposedly" died when he was no more then three. You were cloned from his DNA. Recorded were altered to show that the true Irvine was born three years prior to his actual birth. As you can see, the man whom you replaced, is alive and up til a while ago, well..."

WH Irvine: "No..."

**Redwing** · 02-07-2003, 02:19 AM

*The creature roars at Orthos and shoots flame at him again. It flies around him and lands again, lashing out with its tail...only to be find it landing inside the gravity room, falling upwards towards the ceiling. Confused, it rights itself and hisses at the group*

Marin: Now!

*Guy tosses the circular concussion bomb* Get clear!

*The bomb bounces once, then at the top of its second arc freezes for an instant as it crosses the gravity line. It shatters like glass in midair at the same moment.

An enormous wave of energy billows out of the shattering sphere. The group get back to avoid it, but the wave catches the creature off balance. It flies backwards, and suddenly finds itself caught in yet another altered gravitational pull as it gets too close to the walls. It is pulled rapidly backwards and impaled on several very large spikes.

The creature screeches, not in pain but in annoyance. It squirms to get free*

Marin: <It's vulnerable!> *begins to demorph into her normal form* <Go! I'll morph something to pull you back!>

Deac · 02-07-2003, 01:36 PM

*Orthos stabs the Starkiller Sword thorugh the chest of the monster. It begins to slow further, and creek as metal parts rub together. Unfortunatley the sword is now stuck in the body, and Orthos is dragged about as he holds onto it....*
