Cantina Six: Postlude to Holocaust Part III - Page 12

Deac · 11-05-2003, 04:28 PM

Orthos: And just what are we meant to do now?

Admiral · 11-05-2003, 04:48 PM

*The Dwarf Captain goes off to get some clothes*

Heimdall: I'm not sure. *Goes to guy and checkes the map* Well we are supposed to head toward the center of the city. So that is what we will do.

*The Dwarf Captain returns and hands Marin some clothes*

Dwarf: Yes, the center of the city is where you should go, especially if you want this plan ot succeed. We will film and broadcast her having the sword and traveling to the center of the city. There we can set up a brief new cast where she claims the crown and gives out the proper orders.

Heimdall: Any objections?

**Redwing** · 11-05-2003, 08:00 PM

Misae: Besides pointing out that this screams "trap"? No. Let's just get it over with.

*Raschel nervously fingers her weapons*

Admiral · 11-05-2003, 08:44 PM

Svafa: I don't like this. We are taking to long something is happening topside I feel. Like the Jedi I want this over with.

Dwarf: You can transform or whatever your going to do in private over here *shows Marin a small empty room*

**Redwing** · 11-08-2003, 01:31 AM

Misae: For once I agree...I'm sensing something is very not right.

*The voice in the back of her mind returns, this time much more faintly than before*

Misae...

*A tiny white mechanical object floats above high above the dwarven city. Its black center focuses in on the group amongst the buildings.

Two minutes later, Marin emerges from the room, dressed in the attire the dwarf had given her, and in a body which combined the features of all the dwarfs she had touched in order to create a unique specimen*

Marin: <I'm ready.> *She speaks aloud using the dwarf mouth, sounding a bit awkward and gravelly* R...r...rea-ady. W-wil need to p-praactice with-th this mou-th before mmaking an-y sort of pro-clam-ations.

Kuuki · 11-08-2003, 02:17 AM

WH Irvine "So, when are we leaving?"

**Redwing** · 11-09-2003, 11:43 PM

Guy: Marin, how much time will you need?

Marin: J-just a f-few minutes. I've had t-to do th-this before.

Guy: How far to the center of the city?

Admiral · 11-10-2003, 02:15 AM

Dwarf: Not far at all. There are quick ways to the center. I've send some ahead to prepare for our arrival.

BattleDog · 11-11-2003, 07:20 PM

Hal Okay, lets get this over with.

Admiral · 11-11-2003, 08:31 PM

Heimdall: That is up to Marin. We go when she is completly ready.

**Redwing** · 11-12-2003, 03:22 AM

((OOS: Sorry ;p))

Marin: I'm ready. L-let's go.

Admiral · 11-27-2003, 01:19 AM

*Group heads towards the center of the city*

**Redwing** · 11-27-2003, 06:02 AM

((Time to move the thread along.

I have permission to do what I've done with Heimdall. As for the rest of the group, if anyone has any objections with what's happened simply speak up and I'll edit

))

*The group heads to the center of the city and enters a citadel. Dwarfs gather round, first a few, then hundreds as the word spread that the bearer of the Sword of Alvis had come. Once the dwarf leader gave the signal, Marin ascends a stand in view of the crowd. She recites the speech the dwarf gave her and descends, heading back to the group*

Marin: <We should probably leave now, before they get a chance to change their minds on letting us go...>

Guy: The map has changed again.

*The group descends into the lower levels of the citadel, the dwarf guards standing aside as they enter. When they reach the bottom level, the map bursts into flames and vanishes*

Misae: *startled* Now what?

Aidan: *illuminating the room by arcing lightning across his hands* Look. *In front of the group, an enormous gate stands embedded in the far wall. In front of it, another crystal key stands on a pedestal, covered in a glass structure. Another rolled-up map sits next to it*

Marin: First key, second key...*She touches the glass. It shimmers, and her hand passes through it as if it were water*

Marin: It seems we've found the third key.

*Heimdall inserts the second key into the gate's keyhole. The key dissolves into the opening and the gate splits in two as before. As the gates open, a whirling funnel of air begins tugging on those standing in front of it*

Raschel: We have to go in there...?

*Silence. Without a word, Marin steps in. The funnel of air wisks her upwards. The others follow, with nowhere else to go.

The wind carries them up, up, and up, until finally the group is deposited back on the planet's surface*

Deac · 11-27-2003, 04:39 PM

Orthos: Is that it?

Elella: How many keys is it left now?

**Redwing** · 11-28-2003, 07:42 AM

Marin: *trying to get her bearings* Ten keys, seven gates, fire, eye and ice - that's three keys down. Seven to go. *to Heimdall* How far are we from where we started out?

Admiral · 11-28-2003, 03:55 PM

Heimdall: Just perfect, we are near the temple and the Sith are having some kind of meeting.

*Heimdall scans the crowd looking to see if anyone noticed their arrival. He looks eye with a Sith warrior who was saying something that Heimdall couldn't make out. Speaking into his comlink*

Heimdall: Asgardried. We need an immediate pick up.

Asgardried: Oh sure, I hear nothing from you for a while, you leave me all alone. But now that you need me you expect me to be right there.

Heimdall: Just get here.

*As Heimdall finished a fire Jotun stepped into view, and behind that jotun was a frost Jotun.

The Fire Jotun hurls a giant fireball, over the Sith's heads. IT lands behind the group. When hitting the group it burst and flames spread everywhere.*

Svafa: This is going to get interesting. What is the ETA?

Heimdall: Just a minute, we should be fine. As long as we are not hit by the Jotuns.

*Another fire ball lands to the right of the group.*

Deac · 11-28-2003, 04:28 PM

Orthos: Please tell me that the next key's going to be hidden on a world populated on Endor.

Elella: God no! I'm allergic to Ewoks!

*Fireball lands*

Orthos: Not again.

Kuuki · 11-28-2003, 05:02 PM

WH Irvine "Aw, this is just great!"

-------

*Torchure room*

*The room is almost empty now due to commotion outside, the sith in charge, RH Irvine and the one preforming the torchure was still presant.*

Lead Sith *At the Sith whom left.* "Damn foolish minded beings." *To the torchurer* "Let's get this over with."

*The torchure picks up RH Irvine's lightsaber and ignites it, going to use it to kill RH Irvine.*

RH Irvine *Waking.* "Silly how it is that you'd kill me with my own weapon."

Sith "!?"

*Anger erupts from with in RH Irvine as Force lightning arcs from his hands to the other two individuals in the room. The restaraints burst off of Irvine, while the barbed crown also widens.

Irvine stands, with hatered in his eyes force pulls his lightsaber back into his hands. The lightsaber falls to the floor due to Irvine not being able to grasp it with his injured forearms. Irvine yells in pain, trying to move the saber with the force to his holder on his belt.

The Sith stands up, Irvine reacts and bolts his further and further, with a same expression that his grandfather held in his last moments on the DSII.*

**Redwing** · 11-29-2003, 10:29 AM

*The group scatters away from the fireball*

Misae: Sithspit! What in the Force is that thing?!

Aidan: Fire?

Misae: No! The thing that's throwing it at us!

*Marin dodges behind a rock outcropping and begins to morph back into the lava giant form she had used in the dwarf caves. Raschel fires her Aesirian weapon at the Jotun throwing fireballs*

Admiral · 11-29-2003, 04:24 PM

Heimdall: Those are the creatures we kept contained.

*As the bolt from Raschel's gun near's the fire Jotun. The Jotun's skin appears to brust into flame, the bolt hits and bounces off, doing no damage.

The Frost Jotun then hurls a ball of wate looked like ice. When it impacted the ground everything in a ten foot radius was flash frozen.
--------------------

The Sith torture begins to laugh at RH Irvine's feable attempt to gain his freedom. He stands and absorbs the lightning. Using the force he lifts RH Irvine and tosses him through a sky light. Glass is imbeded into his skin and Irvine lands about 20 feet from the group.

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

The Asgardried lands behind the group, the main door and ramp are already lowered.*

Svafa: Into the ship, unless you want to die.

*The group begins making it's way towards the ship. Fire, and Ice balls falling around them.*

Kuuki · 11-29-2003, 04:51 PM

*RH Irvine falls to the ground, hitting hard. He doesn't move.

WH Irvine's eyes widen at the sight as he runs for him, picking him up and runing towards the Asgardried.*

BattleDog · 11-29-2003, 08:35 PM

*A fire ball lands by Hal, as luck would have it burns the clip which holds his saber to his belt, not to mention much of his left side. Hal's saber clatters to the ground and he has no time for it, he heads to the ship, colaspsing in the hatchway.*

**Redwing** · 11-30-2003, 11:25 AM

*Another ball of fire hits Marin, who has completed her morph. The fire burns over her, but fails to harm her new form. But the glowing blood underneath the cracks in her skin becomes brighter as the heat energy feeds it. With the sensation of such intense heat on her skin, the morph's sleepy mind wakes up. Marin is unprepared for its strength. In a moment, her situation is inversed. The lava creature's primary instincts, to seek out and feed on heat, takes control of Marin's mind.

Marin begins lumbering towards the source of the heat - the Fire Jotun. Before she could lumber very many steps, however, she is hit squarely by a ball of frost. Her morph is flash-frozen and she teeters over, stunned.

Another ball of fire approaches the ship's hatchway. Misae, feeling a surge in the Force, pushes the ball back towards where it came from. It ends up on a collision course with the Frost Jotun*

Why are you running, Misae? We are like you...we feel what you feel...we want what you want...why do you resist us?

BattleDog · 11-30-2003, 04:41 PM

*Hal "overhears" the voice.*

*He staggers to the hatchway and calls his sabre.*

Misae, you must not listen to them, aggression leads to the darkside. The dark will consume you.

Admiral · 11-30-2003, 04:53 PM

*The Frost Jotun hurls an ice ball at the ball of fire. The two collide in midair about half way between the two groups. The two negate each other and form a heavy mist. This mist is thick enough to heavily impaired visibility.

Svafa runs into the ship and directly to the bridge. She begins running calculations for an immediate hyperspace jump, and begins to initiate emergancy medical programs.

Idun runs to Marin and grabs her arm and then mutters a spell. The two are transported into the Asgardried's cargo bay.

Heimdall stands at the base of the ramp.*

Heimdall: *shouting* Get in the ship now if you don't want to be left behind.

*To punctuate Heimdall's statment, the Asgardried's main engines flare up*

Kuuki · 11-30-2003, 06:42 PM

*WH Irvine, carrying RH Irvine, jumps onto the cargo ramp, and drags RH Irvine as far in as he could.*

**Redwing** · 11-30-2003, 11:59 PM

*Misae stands, indecisive*

They would have you deny your feelings, deny your passion, take away your opportunity to avenge what was done to you. They fear you...they want to keep you away from your true power...hold you back...tie you down...it's what they did to your master, and look what happened to him...

*Heimdall shouts his warning. Spurred into action, Misae runs and leaps onto the cargo ramp. Guy, Aidan and Raschel are already inside*

Is that your decision, then, child? Very well...but you can always come back...remember...when your friends reject you...we will still be there...waiting for you...

Admiral · 12-01-2003, 12:43 AM

*With the entire group in the ship (assuming everyone made it in) Heimdall runs up the ramp and into the ship. As he ran up the ramp the Asgardried was already gaining altitude, and when he got inside the main engines roared and the ship took off.

Heimdall hits the control closing the hatch, and makes his way past Hal, and into the bridge. Sitting down he straps in*

Svafa: Causualties?

Heimdall: We have some wounded, but I don't believe any are dead yet.

Svafa: Not bad for our first encounter with them.

Heimdall: Could have been worse.

*The Asgardried breaks the atmosphere and enters space, and shortly thereafter jumps into hyperspace*

Heimdall: We have a destination?

Svafa: Not at the moment. THe ship will be making numerous hyperspace jumps over the next couple of days.

Heimdall: Come let us go check on the rest.

*The two exit the bridge and lock it behind them. Heimdall helps Hal to a emergancy bed that was deployed in the Lounge.

Svafa goes to the cargo hold to help Idun with any wounded there*

Kuuki · 12-01-2003, 12:49 AM

((forgot about Marin

))

Admiral · 12-01-2003, 12:58 AM

((No, now if you read my last post you would have seen that Idun teleported Marin into the ship))

Kuuki · 12-01-2003, 01:04 AM

((Ooops, my bad ^_^; ))

Deac · 12-01-2003, 04:40 PM

Orthos: Let's take a look at that map and find out where the next hellhole we get to visit is...

*Elella goes down to the sickbay*

Kuuki · 12-01-2003, 05:39 PM

*WH Irvine looks at the damage done onto RH Irvine.*

WH Irvine "What the..?" *To Idun.* "He's hurt bad. Look at his arms."

Admiral · 12-01-2003, 06:35 PM

Heimdall to Orthos: That can be done later. First we need to tend the wounded.

*Heimdall shows Ella to the lounge which was serving as an sick bay for now. He then heads for the cargo hold.

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

Idun looks over Marin and mutters spell. Orbs of light appear and begin going over Marin's body. Svafa continues to watch over Marin as Idun moves ot the others.

Idun turns to the Irvines, and examines RH Irvines arm and some of his other injuries*

Idun: These injuries are the results of the Sith torturing him. He was a fool for leaving the group and could have gotten everyone killed.

Take him to the lounge and put him on one of the beds that have been deployed. He will survive.

*Heimdall enters, and goes over to Idun. They talk briefly in hushed voices*

Kuuki · 12-01-2003, 08:27 PM

*WH Irvine picks up RH Irvine and drags him, with an arm over his shoulder to the lounge. There he laid RH IRvine into one of the beds.*

BattleDog · 12-01-2003, 08:47 PM

*Hal sends himself into a healing trance.*

**Redwing** · 12-04-2003, 11:19 AM

*Misae heads for her room, alone, and puts herself into a trance, blocking out everything around her.

Marin, still in morph, lies with the orbs around her.

Aidan waits by Marin, giving the impression he stayed out of a sense of duty more than deeply caring. Offhand he would glance at Josine, still lying in a coma.

Guy retreats to his ship, giving no hint to what he was thinking. If the Aesir had looked at the devices monitoring his ship, they would've found a dark, shielded area where his ship hovered.

Raschel finds Orthos, wanting a familiar face nearby*

Deac · 12-04-2003, 04:57 PM

Orthos: Seems like so long ago now that we were just a bunch of misfits who got put in the same flight of Wraith Squadron, eh? Now look at us. Mythical Avatars, world crossing, time travel. We're hardly the same people that left. And now I have a cousin. And she's not evil. That makes a change.

**Redwing** · 12-07-2003, 10:11 AM

Raschel: I...I almost wish it was like it was back then. Sure, there were alot of downsides...alot. But my friends, all of them, were there for me. Now they're all gone. Everyone's gone. Except you. And I'm afraid, Orthos. TIEs, I know what to do with. The Empire...it was something I knew how to beat. But the end of the galaxy... *she laughs half-bitterly*

Deac · 12-07-2003, 06:05 PM

*Orthos feels a strengthening presence within*

Orthos: The end can never truly come. Even when all seems lost, it is when the greatest among us emerge. Do not abandon to misery and despair. For when you do, those like me will cease to exist. And then nothing can be done
