((OC- Mainly between Ascendancy between the Deatharons and Dominion. The real point of all this will come later. =^^= ))

-----

The operation began simply. Gaian HPG diplomatic channels, broadcast somewhat in the clear, declared the attempt to reslove the Deatharon and Dominion from a war against each other had failed.

...and that war was imminent.

Unknown to anyone except commanders on both sides, a very elaborite plan of operation was about to take place. One that hoped to convince everyone else what was happening as to be true.

A war of extermination between the two nations.

The actual measure was to gain only one group's attention. And 'that' was the trap the Gaians were waiting to spring in the end. Everything to the Ascendancy was giftwrapping, with a 'nasty' present in the end.

Five thousand cloaked Ascendant warships were intermingled in both fleets, and both sides had been given Ionic weapons, and warheads to simulate with incredible reality, their most terrible weapons from both sides. The Ascendancy was there to 'egg' on the entire 'war', by ensuring validity of the entire ordeal, and then giving time and several well planned sub-operations to ensure the war was as effective and realistic as possible.

The play for all eyes to see was about to begin.

The Dominion was going to use this is away to test their tact skills even in such a weak state as such this was going to be fought as if it was reall 100%

It started simple

A Dominion Task Force Folded into a Key Deatharon Command and Controle System. They hoped to cut the brain out of the Deatharon War Meachine

The Dominion Light and Medium Cruisers pushed forword with the Jem'Hadar Attack Craft leading the Very Front.

The Jem'Hadar Battleships opened fire with their "weapons" from long range

100 Keldon Poket Battleships attemped to break threw to the Planet and bomb it from Orbit.

Meanwhile over 10,000 missles were being readyed to bring a "deadly" Payload to Deatharon Planets

News was sent out by Weyoun

People of The Dominion we are here by at war with Deatharon. Our first strike has started and we will destroy them for what they did to us. Not one persion in Deatharon will live threw the war. May the Founders Bless us all.

Meanwhile, Terrai and Jeain on Deatharon Prime, and Funaho on Zeta Prime, coordinated everything on a literal moment by moment basis, by using Hikari Mind Link, having Zohar and Psy users on both sides to run 'screen noise' to hide these communications.

It would take a rediculously determined foreign mind-power to break through, and then tactical genius to understand the burst messages sent, as if it was all done in broken up interstellar Instant Messenger.

The Ascendancy vessels on the Dominion assault side, prepared to fire the first 'super weapons' in response to the escalations in fire. It was going to be quite a show.

The Deatharon Imperial First Fleet "fights back" The Imperial Guardians launch 10,000 Alpha Class Warheads at the Jem'Hadar Cruisers. The Fleet Frigates also attempts to flank the Dominion fleet. The Imperial Battlecruisers attempts to hit the middle of the Dominion lines. The Ravager launchs the feared Omega Class missiles at the Dominions Capital ships.

A holo message is sent to every home in the Empire:The Dominion has invaded we must unite and defeat them in the name of our Imperial Government. Long live Emperor Akarth the Imperial Council and the Antaran Hegemony.

The Dominion took " massive loses" They fired back with their 10,000 Nutronic Missles.

A Reman warbird decloaks and uses a surprise that would even shock the Gaian planers in this.

It fired its feared Thalaron Radation.... Tho it was diluted down to only .00000001 of the deadly radation right into the middle of the Deatharon Fleet. It seemed to be the real deal. Tho all it would do if give them the flu for about four days

The Jem'Hadar Super Battleships and Battleships pushed forword and fired another round at the enemy forces as the Keldons started to bomb the surfce from Orbit


Meanwhile The 10,000 missles would soon enter countless Deatharon Systems to "destroy" their populations.

The First Fleet suffred "massive causilties" The Ravager unleashes a very destructive weapon a Black hole. The Black Hole is unleashed in the middle of the Dominion fleet to "destroy the Enemy." The Planet was already dead anyway. The thing was the Black Hole works with the same princaples as the Wormholes (In short they are both generated by specialized Generators), Just a little adjustment and the distortion of a black hole looks like its there but all the Jem'Hadar ships feel is a little disrupting shaking that is not even strong enough to hurt there shields.

( Bumping will post after the Gaians)

(bump)

((OC- Damn my internet connection is being hell with me today.))

--

The Ascendancy assisted both sides by deploying scatter-EMP torpedoes, as well as very effective and 'just' as realistic as major armaments. Certain warheads had been modified to simulate every effect other than heat and radiation of nucleonics hitting the surface of target planets.

The Gaians on both sides 'nudged' both sides to widen the campaigns by attacking major troop and fleet support concentrations, with over fifty systems on both sides given as major targets. Ascendancy vessels with IFF and signatures of Dominion and Deatharon were sent even against each other in certain systerms, to help widen the 'war'.

That much 'WMD' would convince anyone, and with the Hikari Power Mind Link used at 'tight beam' even in midst of fleets, the deception was all but foolproof.

Even if something was suspected, a week or war was too short for anyone to notice the fraud taking place, and the vast EMP jammers deployed did an effective job of making everything very distorted.

But on top of this, the Ascendancy was giving both sides a taste of Ascendancy tactics, ones learned the hard way from the Dark Eternals. Fifty systems on 'both' sides was still very small beans to Ascendancy planners.

Therefore, Funaho on her side, and Terrai on the other asked both sides to begin deep raids and the select target strikes with all their means. Knowing both sides held Gen-Refab tech, any losses could be explianed as reformed reinforcements, giving 'dead' vessels and troops a way to move back into the battle, using new codes and such to identify them as seperate vessels.

No detail was spared for the plan.

The war would not be seen as real unless The Jem'Hadar used all their skills.

This ment ramming.

Deatharon held the means to reclone some loses

So as some of the Jem'Hadar Attack craft were heavly damaged they rammed the nearist Deatharon vessle

The fight was becomeing a slug fest

Meanwhile a fleet of 500 ships entered a major Deatharon Shpyard

Their goal to destroy it

Also the first wave of missle begian to enter Deatharon systems.

Meanwhile the Ground Forces for a major Invasion force were seemingly being readyed.

The Empire decided to make this look realstic. 9,000 Holocaust Missiles were launched from major military systems to Dominion systems. The Targets were primarly major population center planets.

The Imperial Military launches counter attacks along the Dominion lines. The Antaran Black Fleet launchs a Dimensional Raid on internal Dominion systems killing all in there path. The Antaran White Fleet also attacks the Dominion Founders homeworld launching the feared Bio Terminators that would kill all life on the planet in a matter of 15 mins.

On The Neios system a massive Ground Force unit is being put together to invade the Dominion aggressors.

The Founders had known of the leak of their Homeworld they leaked it them selfs

As the Missles his they scans would soon see that the planet was already lifeless. A Jem'Hadar fleet of all Elites came out of a nearby dust cloud and opened fire hopeing to show Deatharon its information network isnt as trust worthy as they thought. However the Founders had just left the planet two days befor. It had been a close call.

Meanwhile Proto Omega fired its Diminsonl Cannon at the Deatharona Main Military Space Station

Also 3,000 ADD warheads were luanched to destroy Deatharons populated planets

The Dominion sent in more raids but not to military areas but civilan areas killing everyone in sight.

Loses were mounting and the first reports were relesed

Military loses: 5,000,000
Military Injured: 12,000,000
Civilan Killed: 87,000,000
Civilan Injured/Homeless: 95,000,000

(OOC: may seem small to the gaians loses in their war but i dont rule over a super cluster.......yet but soon tho =^_^=)

":: ~ They are really going at it. ~ ::"

Terrai replies back to Funaho over Mind Link.. ":: ~ We may have to employ the solid field hologram units to compensate for the ramming the Jem`Hadar are conducting, or they'll lose too much. ~ ::"

Jeain jumps in.. ":: ~ You both were the ones that agreed to Ruri's plan. Let them conduct it. ~ ::"

":: ~ Not if they go too far and retaliate with real weapons. We still haven't seen outside interference yet however, so we must still treat carefully. ~ ::" ..Ruri also jumps in on.

Then a last.. ":: ~ The blood convinces all. In the end, only a week and passive Regen units will prevent any major incidents. We need to up the communication frequencies however to ensure everyone else is convinced. Ensure this part succeeds. ~ ::"

The others respond... ":: ~ Yes you Excellency. ~ ::"

They then moved to press the 'situation' further by sending six spread out Fleet Legions coded on both sides to hit major resource factory worlds.

( OOC: Side thing)

The War had indeed cought the eye of The Band of Seven

Bankotsu watched the loses mount and knew it was going as planned

" Good they are tearing them selfs apart. This will in the end Weaken the Gaians as well." He points to a map " The Majin Empire will take whats left of their space when the war is over. Then formaly allie with The Dark Eternals."

Renkotsu looks at Bankotsu " The Gaians may try to force peace on them like befor."

Bankotsu smiles " If so then we will just kill them hell maybe get The Gaians to go to war with both of them."

He smiles " But this is a side show in the end. The Real war is about to start. The GE is going to war with the AoN i and a host of others. We will insure that war gose as planned too. This is just a jucie bonuse for us"

The Antaran White Fleet led by Supreme Adrimal Hvei engaged the Elite Jem'Hadar fleet. The problem was it was the most powerful fleet the Antaran posses thus the most powerful Deatharon has to wield. The Ravager unleashes a massive Psy Cannon agaisnt the Jem'Hadar Super Battle ship to prove there ships were mortal to. The Psy Cannon unleashes a massive energy attack that would smash through almost anything in its way. The Dimensional weapons were finally deployed agaisnt the Dominion. The Antaran Black Fleet started attacking Major Dominion commands centers and Ketrascel white factories.

The first reports had finally come in

Military losses: 10,000,000
Military Injured: 15,000,000
Civilan Killed: 81,000,000
Civilan Injured/Homeless: 88,000,000

The Dominion forces were takeing massive loses over the former Founders homeworld The Superbattle ship exploded as loses mounted help arrived

A Saiyan Battlefleet. This Elder Race had conqured super cluster after super cluster untell they grew tired of it and created their own diminson to live in

Their hulls bright colors. Mostly White some Bright Blue and Red and some even silver and gold

The ships fired their Diminsonal Cannons and Diminsonal Mines.

Their fighters luanch and unless hell on the Deatharon fleet

Meanwhil Dominion fleet targeted Cloneing Centers and food production in Deatharon as Proto Omega Fired Agian this time at the Deatharon Capitals defences on the moon.

OOC: Saiyan ships use all Diminsonal Weapons.

The Gaians meanwhile played a bit of their own trickery.

Shortly after the Mind Link message, new messages 'try' to flood both sides with 'pleas of mercy', and warn of Gaian specific forces to try and insert themselves and mediate the 'conflict'.

As a result, two major Fleet Legions of Ascendancy Sphere IFF enter near both capital systems.

As soon as they appear, fielding three A-SSDs each fleet, Ascendancy 'Dominion' and 'Deatharon' forces suddenly enact the next part of the plan, giving everyone what they expected to see.

As Ascendancy IFFs are suddenly targeted by 'enemy' IFFs, they latter then attack without warning, as very large numbers, up to 5,000 on either side in both locations, begin attacking each other with same weapon specs of all levels, from all three sides. Radiation, Nucleonics, ADDs, and such were LAMBASTED at the new battlefront, and thus, the 'Ascendancy Sphere' side declared they had been fired upon without provication.

Signals then were sent broad and wide that no less than seventy Fleet Legions would be deployed in hours to 'attack' both sides for this transgression. Worse (as it sounded..) they would begin purging nearby untouched systems, as well as fully blockade both realms for the duration of the 'war'.

It was openly looking like what the seven wanted was going to happen anyway.

The Ascendancy was outthinking their opponent in everyway.

The Sayian threat had to be dealt with quickly, The Empire authorized the Antaran Crimsion fleet to battle now all the Antarans fleets were engaged. The Antaran Green Fleet was defending Deatharon's inner territories. They fired Dimensional strike missiles at the incomeing Dominion fleets. The Sayians were being attacked with massive amounts of Dimensional and Psy weapons. The Marine StarCommand attempted a bold move by jumping behind the Main Dominion assualt an flanking from behind. The Defensive moons launch all the fire power they have at the Dominon. The Imperial Space Navy is trying to hold the Dominion back. The Imperial Marine Core lands there troops on Dominion worlds to take over Dominion planet that have not been obliterated by the WMD weapons.

The Dominion was shown by this little war game in their weak state they could not win and as such they would play the part of the enemy that wont give in

A message was sent in by Weyoun

People of The Dominion we will lose this war. But we will not surrender!!. All troops are here by ordered to pull back to Dominion space and ready to defend. All forces will fight to The Death. They will learn the bitter tast of defeat even in their victory. They will lose so many ships they will be unable to hold their own Empires togather

With this all Dominion ships fell back from their offensive actions and readyed to defend agianst Gaian and Deatharon attacks

The Dominion was indeed crippled from the sevens attack but they could still rip the enemy to peices as they invade.

The Deatharon Military shifted more of its "attacks" at the Gaian Ascendancy's fleets. The Dominon seemed less of a threat at this point. The Problem was the Deatharon military was streched thin from attacking the Dominion across mutiple Galactic fronts. The Marines litterly abandon Dominion planets to secure the Deatharon worlds from the Gaian threat.

A holo message is sent to the people:
People of Deatharon the Gaians have invaded show no mercy for they are the enemy of the United Galactic Empire of Deatharon.

This was, as mentioned, an exercise to teach the Deatharons and Dominion to wage vast interstellar scale war. As such, Gaian Fleets and mimiced 'Dominion' and Deatharon versions did two things.

First, Ascendancy Sphere forces were able to jump between huge distances within both galaxies to show distance in war was no fathom to cross. Then the Gaian dopelganger fleets 'attacked' out to Ascendancy Sphere systems (selected ones not hit by the Dark Eternal War.) in great strength, to show that a raid by Ascendancy terms meant holding only numbers of important systems, and that entire invasions was the scale of entire 'arms' of galaxies as conquered space.

The size of scale in all minds had to be expanded into a new level of comfort, so as to meld their minds for the time of invasion against the Dark Eternals.

This meant also, that 'both' Deatharon and Dominion 'slated' forces were 'allowed' to hit these same specifc systems within Ascendancy Sphere space.

The act would make it all seem very large, just enough to make the peace plan phase just as effective.

The Dominion gathered a force of 12,000 ships ready to raid Gaian space

They used older fold drives and it took a good hour to reach the systems

Once their it was like a blitz attack The ships had their engians to full power and attacked anything Gaian in said systems.

However this raid was to the "death" the ships would fight to the bitter end. Useing anything they can to do more damage to The Gaians.

Meanwhile massive Diminsonal Minefields were armed they would be effect of the Gaian ships the most they hoped.

The Dominion's allied race of The Saiyans had the tech to match the gaians but not the resources. This was being made clear in this war...

The Antarans knew how to fight on the Gaians Ascendancy's terms, The Entire Hegemonic Star Navy launchs a full scale invasion of the Ascendancy along with the Fleet Panther and Fleet Manticore of the Marine Starcommand. This was to show Deatharon could fight with the best of them.

OOC: The Antarans can match the Ascendancy in tech but they seriously lack numbers that Elder races normally have.

This was when the lesson of total war was taught to both Dominion and Deatharon forces, and their allies.

For the first time, they saw the foring end of hundreds of thousands of Ascendant Warships, as well as the fury of a war honed people that nearly saw true extinction under enslaved darkness.

From all angles and vectors, no less than one hundred Fleet Legions were sent, and the entire sky of all target systems were filled with ships, from Oort cloud end to other end. Starjel and Foundation weapons, even on Ionic settings, was conducted on such scale, it easily equaled the total forces of 'both' sides.

On the ground, the Dominion and Deatharons saw up close, Arkarth Lords, Jedi Knights, Clan and Regimental FACAF, Ascendant Warriors, Angelic Arch-Angel Legions, Droid Army Legions, and even the base populace and security forces, made up of primarily Steel Angels and Angel Gods.

Trillions were dispatched, not to defeat the enemy, but to show what the war to come would be like. They were getting a bare 'taste' of seasoning, compared to what was to come.

For over four days into the 'counterinvasion' of the Dominion and Deatharon forces, the Ascendancy acted a HELL of a lot like the Dark Eternals and their enslaved allies. Every bit of it all was as close to the edge of non-lethal combat as possible, but every bruise and cut would teach archives of information.

Meanwhile, the Ascendancy casualtiy lists informed that it seemed they were losing billions, as the war acted like the Jihad in almost everyway, short of actual deaths.

Short of the war that 'would' truly come.

The Deatharon people fought the Gaian Ascendancy as if they were the Magog count less civilians were thrown into The Imperial Galactic Guard. The Marines Fought with every weapon they have even resorting to old meusium pieces like Nuke Missiles and ICBMs. The war was becoming hell the situation tought the people of Deatharon a new sense of combat ability had to be achieved. The Antaran Forces hit the White Diamond Star System. The Goal destroy the Planet and knock the Ascendancy out of the war. The Clan home star system was hit with a Generated Black Hole. The fighting had forced the Sakkra infantry into horriable trench warfare with the Marines and Grendarl forces.

The Gaians would soon learn a lession in Saiyan warfare.

400 Saiyans were cut off on a planet with 5,000,000 enemys surronding them

The Saiyans used Diminsonal Shielding to protect them as they summonded creatures able to fight for them.

They creatures were that even The Gaians would respect. Noble creatures that could also be deadly

The Creatures delt deadly blows to countless Gaians but in time the Numbers would work in the favor of Gaians.

The Creatures and Saiyans fought with all their hearts.

As for the Droids the Zanarkand Republic Allies created a little weapon that could disable Droids and Droid Ships. This weapon was fired on entire Droid Fleets and armys. Makeing the best use of it befor The Gaians adpated to it.

*White Diamond 'besieged' system*

"I bet they bought into all this now."

"~ Yes milord. Lady Funaho and your Father have conducted themselves very well. ~" Ackronus speaks, Aleaic chuckles, both looking out from the bridge of the Eternal Destiny."

Aleaic adds.. "Well, we'll have bled them both of the desire to war against us in the future in doing this. Now we must strike as if we are practicing the beginning of the second phase. All this will help show where adjustments need to be made. We should be sure the Dark Eternals, our Elder allies and the Seven are watching, this way they will think of one way, when we conduct in another when the true invasion begins.

Such a thing, festering over a decade, can set many minds in a certain way, and make them brittle to the true nature of the final blow."

Aleaic then turns back towards Central Node. "Inform Dimensional Fortresses that they may begin. Inform of the silver cloak is also ready to activate. When they are suprised enough, prepare the truce messages to both sides.

And prepare the Fortess Palace Tree to be ready to Fold when ready."

Ackronus nods and then heads back to deliver orders. However he adds with a turn of his head... "~ You may want to be careful your mates do not think you see war as more important than the wedding. ~"

Aleaic actually gulps. There are wars he 'does' see as suicide.

--

The Ascendancy then with terrible ease, begin moving six Dimensional Fortresses through Dimensional Foldspace where they permanently exist in sub-dimensional pockets, to literally dump hundreds of new Warship Fleet Legions and thousands of new regiments upon both Deatharon and Dominion assets over several galaxies, hitting every ally both sides have, and thousands of worlds at once.

Meanwhile, the emotional 'war' is upped, and Jihad is forced in equal measure upon the troops of all sides. Where the enemies hit hard, the Ascendancy hit twice as hard, doubling effect until it seems ready that whole galactic arms are ready to immolate beyond control.

Then the Ascendancy begin employing the newest layer of defense, engaged in a very simple manner.....

The Dominion thought it was time to make a realistic reason for the Gaians to call for peace.

A Diminsonal Rift opened in the White Diamond Star System. icer 1,000,000 Saiyan Vessles the main brunt of their armada.

The Flag ship known as Eternal Life used a new expermant

It merged its main core with a Zohar

The result was as pretty as it was deadly

The Ship tured a golden color as what looked to be Angelic wings grew out of it.

The ship fired rapid fireing Diminsonal Cannons cuasing heavy damage to Gaian Defenders.

The Rest of the Fleet fired all their Diminsonal cannons at Gaian ships as the approuched.

As for The Eternal Life it had a date with the Eternal Destiny.

The Antarans clear away from the White Dimanod system. The sight of that many Sayian ships made there will to fight both forces fall fast. The Antarans returned home to the Antaries Galaxy to defeat the Gaians there. The Psykers are employed to use there abilities agaisnt the on comeing hoard of Gaian warriors. The Deatharon government would not surrender. The Fleets were forced to push the Gaians back with all they had.

The displays as well as strategic data was indeed 'purty' to look upon, but Aleaic felt there was something missing, as he looked on at the apporach of the Eternal Life towards his vessel's position.

"Dear me, they lack enough grace in battle. Too much blunt force. Well, there are way to endure lessons." ..he then flicks a single holo-comm button.

":: Prepare to phase-cloak the Star Systems. On my command. ::"

Meanwhile, he focused his warship squarely in the path of the enemy version of his own. He ordered focused fire from all nine superlasers (ionic) on his orders...

...then he ordered the cloak.

All at once, the sight of every planet in the system began to phase shift with little warning. The planets seemed to start melting away from sight, as were all moons and orbital assets, defending units seemed to also act the same way, and only the 'enemy' was not affected.

Meanwhile, as the Eternal Destiny itself faced down it's counterpart, it also phased in the same manner, all the same time firing all it's superlasers in a conical focal fire point that targets the entire portside of the Eternal Life.

At the same time, 'all' Ascendancy forces and assets begin to act in the same way all across Ascendancy Sphere space, as well as in Deatharon and Dominion territories.

And there seems to be little cause as to 'why'.

The Imperial Intelligence Core decides to use Sensor Drones to detect the cloaked Gaian forces. The Fighting intensivfies as Sucide charges of thousands are used to crush the enemy advance. This was one hell of a fight. The Ravager and the last couple of fleet were ordered to attack Neo Zeta Prime in one last ditch effort to crush the Dominion. The theroy wipe them out and use enslaved Neo Zetan forces agaisnt the Ascendancy.

The beams hits the Eternal Life as the beams passed right threw it.

It was a clever hologram. And with advanced sensor fake outs it seemed the Gaians had been tricked.

The Capitan of the real cloaked Eternal life laughed " I am artist when it comes to war"

Half of the Saiyan Fleet was a fake. The Eternal Lifes fire was real useing the same Cloak as Reman Warbirds.

The Saiyan fleet then begians to creat Diminsoal cuts forming almost a web around the now cloaked system. Anything that hit the cuts would be cut threw like a hot knife threw butter.

The Saiyans blunt force approch was only a trick and it worked. The Gaians were fighting the fake fleet as the real ships were creating a Diminsonal Prison. They Gaians could break it but the vast ammount of Diminsonal Types would take them anywehre from a month to 200 years.

Tho The Dominion was sad to use its trump card in a fake war.

Meanwhile The Defensive Network in orbit of Zeta Prime weakned but was still stroung. The Diminsonal Minefields would do massive Damage to the Deatharon Forces. As Orbital Defensive Platforms and 90,000 Ships would defend the planet

Even Cargo ships had been turned into floating bombs and rams.

The Deatharon Warfleets launch a black Hole in the Neo Zetan system. The Goal destroy everything. The Deatharon fleets jump back home before suffering more causilties to the Neo Zetan defenses.

The Dominion uses The Full Power of the Zohar shield. It slowly absorbs the Black Hole. The Energy it took to do so tho took most of the system offline.

The Deatharon Armada limps home to the Antaries Galaxy fighting with the same determination as a wounded animal trying to reach its home. The only hope for the Deatharon war fleets was to reach The Deatharon system or New Kathor the Antaran homesystem.

Aleaic, in the middle of watching all the 'festivites' come in across strategic and tactical boards, was suddenly disturbed by a strange darkness in the very shadows of his mind. Where the part of him was 'enjoying' this tryst of a war, was a terribly light sounding echo, one with no source.

He heard someplace in the back of this, the following...

{{{{{~ The same..... ~}}}}}

...one that was making him feel very clammy all over. A moment later however.. "~ Milord? ~"

Aleaic looks up with a rare shock type suprise, and has to correct his mind for a moment, making Lord Ackronus worry. "~ Master, what is it?" ~"

Aleaic finally collects himself enough to inform.. "I'm....... fine.

Inform Lady Funaho and my Father to begin 'feeler' messages for the next phase of the plan, the peace talks. Inform them that a Palace Tree will be sent to meet both delegations in a neutral point in space, outside all three realms.

That should draw out the enemy."

Ackronus blinks, worried like, and then nods. "~ It would be best before suspicions grow too far. ~" ..and the Avian Lord returns to his station. Aleaic meanwhile sits there, not contemplating anything..

...but that echo.

---

Meanwhile, the backchannel Gaian sources on both capital worlds is now sent to the leaders of both sides, indicating the 'desire' of a cease-fire, calling both sides corageous warriors and determined foes, but ones that need not exhaust themselves so utterly.

Then they waited for both sides to agree and 'tone down' operations, as well as wait for word the bait had been taken.

The Dominion got word of the cease fire offer. The attack on the Gaian Capital system ended as the Saiyan fleet left.

The Dominion sent a message

We will agree to talk... however we make no promises of peace unless we feel it is in our best intrest.

With that the war was still going on with Deatharon untell the agreed to it as well.

Meanwehil The Band of Seven got word of a Cease Fire in the works

They were not happy at all about it.

The Empire recieved word of the cease fire.

The Empire sends a message out:The United Galactic Empire of Deatharon agrees to a cease fire but will not agree to peace until a permant solution is done about the Dominion.

The Deatharon military forces stand down immediatley after the message was sent.

The chosen 'site' was as impressive as it's terrestrial bretherin have been. There were of course now hundreds of Palace Trees all across the Archonis Supercluster, and only Hikari Users knew where they all were.

Now one new addition leaves the orbit of Emerald, leaving the White Diamond System, it's emerald leaves, trunk of stone like brown, and aura of life that a Hikari Alcove Tree can.

It Folds with a large Holy Guard Fleet of the White Diamond Fleet and the Sapphire Eternus Fleet, a thousand warships each, as the first major version of a Shield Tree taken to the final level, sees a Palace Tree in space, Fold Jumping of it's own empowerment to a deep Void location within the Archonis Void, a several million light-year expanse of space where only dotted galaxies and isolated small celestial matter existed in a sea of utter darkness.

A natural darkness with no ulterior motive of it's own.

The Ascendancy however is fully of otherwise.

"It's magnificent Lady Washu."

The red, spiky haired scientific genius bows. "Thought this might make a good place for the 'talks'. I'm suprised it all went as smoothly as it did. Did it convince them all however..."

Aleaic, on a Palace Overlook, looking out at the VOid, with shield bits containing the atmosphere, as well as six very tall and vertical Angelhawk Wings orbiting around the Palace Tree, set upon a huge platform base that acts as a subspace converter and feeding system, giving the Tree and the Alcove access to the needed subspace layers, though the Hikari Trees within do the same in symbiotic operation.

He comments back without looking. "I don't care actually who it fooled. I suspect the party that we intend to draw in will either know better, or act as so.

Either way, it's the events after they arrive I await my eyes to settle upon.

Either way, we will know the next path we take." Aleaic says, a bit dour in tone, looking down at his right hand for some reason. Washu sees this and asks.. "You okay bub? You look..."

"I am fine. I think I just miss my loves. That's all."

Washu blinks, and then nods.

Neither of them are sure they bought that lie.

Soon after, the Palace Tree arrives at the location chosen, and transmits it's location rather openly.

Now the time had come.

The remaining Antaran Green Fleet headed towards the location. The passageners aboard were the Antaran Hegemon Minax and Emperor Akarth Von Antheron. They were to meet the Gaians and Dominion to try and make intergalactic peace.

The Flag ship the Demon King would take Emperor Jayce,Yusuke/Hiei and Weyoun to the meeting.

They wished to settle this once and for all.

But another ship was on its way to the meeting. The Band of Seven's Battleship was on its way.

Hegemon Minax and Emperor Akarth on the Antaran Command Cruiser Ravager: "I think the problem with Lady Aluria is serious. She leveled a building with her new power and seemed afraid. I ordered that she be dealt with or taken to a Psy instiute for people who need help controling there powers." Hegemon Minax replies, "I should never agreed on using Antaran science so you could have advance your projects now we have creature of untold power roaming the Galaxy and we have barley any control."

The Demon King arrived at the meeting place and signaled the Gaians that they awaited further instructions.

Meanwhile The Band of Sevens Battleship was only 200 meters away cloaked tho and they waited.

Both delegations were informed over holo-comm to teleport over to the Space Palace Tree. When they arrive, they are taken within a near mirror Palace Tree, and will be taken to the same areas where the Command Central Pillar and Council Chambers should be.

Except there was a difference. THe Pillar was replaced by a limitless height Hikari Alcove that ran the 'entire' length of the core of the Palace Tree. The Council chambers were replaced by a chamber that look a heck of a 'lot' like a carved Shinto Shrine, one that past the chamber door arch, seemed to be a limitless expanse within, a veritable, and in fact, actual Shinto Palace lay within, thanks to the immense power of the Dimensional Pocket Subspace that the Trees controlled.

Within was more kilometers filled with imperial shinto structures, than should be so for the size of the Palace Tree, even despite the titanic size it held.

The pocket was larger to the eye, yet all still somehow in feel, like a part of the Palace Tree.

Jayce,Yusuke/Hiei and Weyoun looked on Jayce was impressed, Weyoun was intrested and Yusuke/Hiei didnt care at all he came to fight nothing else.

They waited the arrivle of the others and their guest.

The Emperor Akarth Von Antheron was surpised and awed by the Shinto Shrine Hegemon Minax was less impressed.

Lady Funaho and Lord Terrai, Lady Jeain and Admiral Ruri also accompanied both sides. Lady Peorth and Lady Seto were present to act as negotiators, with all of them having to take a teleporter within the 'chamber' to reach an oriental type throne room, made of whitestone, white diamond, diamond, sapphire and crystal. The Gaian archetecture was well present.

..as was a single large council table, where a large glowing hologram was already present.

Upon closer inspection when they arrive, they see the terms of the Treaty of Clan Home, the previous attempt to prevent a war between these two realms. It already had amendments prepared containing extensions of the new races and civilizations within both realms, added in one format or another, since the document had be ratified last.

"I presume you both remember this iota." Aleaic says, appearing out from a side chamber with Lady Washu. "...shall we begin by addressing grevances and such?"

Just then, Lord Commander Mashim and two equal model Droid Generals appear from a second side chamber. ":: Sire, the fleets are prepared. ::"

Washu and Seto look at Aleaic. "What be this?" Washu asks.

"You'll see.." Aleaic comments.

Weyoun smiles " Ah the treaty of clan home. That treaty is null and void. The Dominion had yet to merge with Neo Zeta. There for we have broken no laws. And we damand massive payment from Deatharon. Also the Return of Albedo."

He smirks " My information network is more advanced then he and you both though i am afraid."

Meanwhile on the Band of Sevens Battleship Renkotsu didnt like this at all.

" Its a trap i know it. This is way to easy."

Bankotsu smiles " I know its a trap. If their had been a massive war as they say we would have absorbed the souls of millions and millions of kids. and very few came to us."

Renkotsu is shocked " Then why are we here big brother?!"

Bankotsu looks at his 2nd in command " To introduce our selfs to our foe."

With that they started their scan to find a hidden weakness that would allow them to beam in. A weakness the Gaians most likely left to allow the Band of Seven to beam threw.

SCAN RESULTS: ~ Two seperate paths through the upper Tree, due to a strange transference of energy types where Hikari and standard shield and sensor grids met.

Which wouldn't be if the Trees hadn't be so 'careless'.

-----

Unknown to everyone one extra actor was on the stage, waiting to see how everything turned out.

And to feed on 'anything' ill that took place.

Emperor Akarth responds, "This Treaty is void for us as well. It was signed when we were the Imperial Republic of Deatharon. We are now the Empire and as such this treaty is void of binding us to it. We demand the Dominion pay massive compensation charges for the mass murder of Deatharon citizens. For there attempted Genocide and Xenocide of the Deatharon people.

Weyoun laughs " They turned on us. They got what was comeing to them."

befor Weyoun could utter another word Six Figures beamed in

Bankotsu smiles " seems you have a little problem. We have a counter offer to you both. That both your nations be destroyed for the glory of The Majin Empire."

He said as he held his massive blade.

Jakotsu licked his lips as he looked at Yusuke/Hiei and Aleaic " Oh very cute it will be a shame to have to kill those two."

Seto then 'ahems' and then offers.. "The Ascendancy offers to compensate 'both' sides for their damages, and if both side will return personages of both sides, it will simply be a need of each side accepting neither side can beat the other, and that you 'both' have been played as pawns in another's agenda."

Aleaic stabs in.. "..and 'that' isn't necessarily 'us' either. I suspect the real fools that started all this will appear any moment now." ..he says with a rough tone.

And then they 'arrive'. Aleaic sighs.. "Told ya."

Hegemon Minax puts up a Psy barrier around herself and Emperor Akarth to protect themselves from the up comeing attack.

Jayce and Yusuke/Hiei look on and smiles

" So your The Band of Seven. Nothing more then worthless scum." Yusuke/Hiei said.

Bankotsu laughs " Oh that hurts me so much. I could kill everyone in this room with litte effort."

Ginkotsu rumbles as he speaks " Weak little things they are."

Aleaic and his faimly for their part, remain calm. (They've been through all this too much lately.) Aleaic notes all this, then comments.. "So, may we ask why you are doing all this?

Since the bad guys need to spout b.s. anyways..."

Seto chides. "Now now milord." Aleaic just shrugs.

Emperor Akarth Von Antheron is worried but Hegemon Minax thinks she can defeat at least three of the seven and hopefully beam back to the ship.

Bankotsu laughs " Oh we are not the bad guys. We are just doing our job. We were hired for. Nothing more or less. Yes we do evil things but what one race sees as evil is anothers good. We dont hold our selfs to any one standered. We simple are doing our mission. And our mission is the pave the way For The Majin Emperors return and to punish humankind for its sins."

Jayce looks a little stuned. "The Majin Emperor? he has been dead for along time. He couldnt be alive"

Bankotsu smiles " you think in such a human way. all of you do. Your so scared of the future you bring your greatist enemys back to aid you. oops i guess thats a little secret you have been keeping from everyone."

He smirks in a cocky way " I am smarter then you think."

He points his sword at Yusuke/Hiei " And there is the one who failed the Majin Emperor. The one who's mess we have come to clean up. None other then the Sith Lord Hiei!"

Yusuke/Hiei just gives a coold emotionless stare.

Peorth looks with suprised glum between Yusuke and her Lord. Aleiac however.. "I already felt the transference when it occured." ..he looks at Peorth. "At least do a better job of hiding such a thing next time. Same to Lady Zohar when she's seen next."

Aleaic then calmly walks towards the seven, and then when he is less than a few meters away, asks.. "Tell me, what sins does this 'Majin Emperor', feel the human civilization has comitted?

And... why should I fear so much? Besides, this is a time of peace and prosperity. We may have made mistakes, but that is the price of the Balance. If no mistakes are made, there is no learning, no learning means no change, and 'that' goes against the very pinnacle of the laws of the universe itself.

If humanity is so ill begotten, then 'all' races and civilizations are no better, for all still blindly follow these rules without ever realizing it.

That's how this universe was molded, over the eons. And you seek perfection, where such a thing is a 'greater' crime against the Balance.

Perfection, is the antithesis of change." Aleaic says, acting rather cordial to the intruders.

The Emperor and Hegemon listen inside there Psy barrier.

Bankotsu smirks " I do not judge i do my job. as for why you should fear me there is a good reason behind it. I know your powers and in truth your more powerful. But power means nothing when faceing me. Let me just show you one reason why."

One of the countless souls of the Children who had died. It forms a large barrier around him

" You will find you cant remove it,break it from my controle or save it once its destroyed. My 1,400 years in the underworld tought me this ability. To attack me you would have to destroy a childs soul. Destroying it utterly. Where not even The almighty gods and goddess' can bring it back. "

He smirks as it vanishs " Also i have a even greater trump card. But no need for you to know it."

He sighs " Trust me i would rather not do such things with the souls of kids. But if that is my job i will do it."

But as they speak Hiei atlast comes out. Takeing controle enough to do as he wants to a point but not enough to kill him and Peorth.

His Third eye opens

" I came here to fight. Not to chat about this balance the gaians so foolishly hold on to. Now whitch one of you will i kill first?"

Bankotsu smiles " And these are your allies. They seem to be the same as us if you ask me." He then looks at Hiei

" So you wish to die now? Very well then."

He snaps his fingers as Ginkotsu steps forword " I will crush him the weak little runt"

The Antaran Hegemon and the Human Emperor both have looks of disgust at the Seven using the souls of children as shields how low could these people stoop?

Aleaic however raises a hand, and Angelhawk-Zohar power Wings suddenly smack up in the combatants faces. "There wil, be no fight on 'my' grounds. Everything that was planned for, has been conducted to my satisfaction.

Everything..." ...a dark laughter starts to sound up... "has gone to plan."

The laughter turns darker, and darker....

...with no end in sight. Peorth, Seto, and Aleaic's parents are suddenly very much confused. Aleaic's face seems to contort from some unseen force.

And then out of nowhere... "{{{~ Such dark tidings are not befit another soul, unless it has a very, enslaved... link. ~}}}"

As if on cue, the very clothes on his body seem to start turning a dark black, as if charred by the Black Wilt.

The chamber suddenly is infused of a very dark and utter power.

The Deatharon Leaders start backing away slowly from this sight.

Bankotsu smiles " Time for a charge up"

His sword started to suck power that got close to it. Dark or Light or whatever type of energy came near it would be absorbed into it. Increasing Bankotsu's power. His trump card to those strounger then him.

He smiled as this event happened.

Jayce looked on in some what confused state and kept his eyes on his friend.

Hiei just laughed at the whole event " This is fare to great. The Idealist is in fact just what he fights agianst. How very very fitting indeed"

The Hegemon Minax prepared a Psy assault agaisnt the Band of Seven should they attack The Emperor or herself.

The Gaians on their end look immensely worried as well as confused. "What the hell is going on?" Jeain suddenly asks. Washu looks with intense reservation. "Is this what you meant by 'nothing' kid?"

The dark form that 'should' be Aleaic however concentrates on the power bring stolen by the sword Bankotsu is using.

The problem is that the power being stolen, is power being sucked as entropy. And not even Aleaic can feed off of entropy. Despite how much other powers think they have this power, they are only slaves of their own ambitions.

And 'none' of them have the forsight and imagination needed to cross an entire diemnsional reality to another that cannot concieve of the times that are to come.

The dark figure looks over at Bankotsu and comments.. "{{{~ If I were fully of this dimension, that trinket 'might' have trully effected me.

If you were from my realm, that power would have done far more damage.

But you are neither, and as yet, I am not trully 'here'. So do feed off the others as you wish, including your 'own' seven. It all only feeds me further to the time to come, when the flame of the End will have no chance of avoidance.

And none of you trully understand what has trully occured here. Even as a mere war, even as the seven were sent by their master, at 'my' behest', and even as none still died, the 'act' of death's continuance is all needed that I have, to grow stronger.

For it is merely the HATE I needed, here in the pitch of the Void.

My mere alien children of a shcisimed reality, you see the mirror of what you 'think' is both enemy and ally, but rather, my puppet form. My true form is not yet fully manefest in this reality.

And when such finally occurs, my armies beyond the Entropy see the time you cannot face. The death of two entire entities of existence. ~}}}"

The now all but wraith version of Aleaic then spreads out two oily black arms of ethereal hate and loathing. "{{{~ So do continue to profess all your hatred and power.

You have been all the true pawns of MY chess game. One day soon, you will be fed upon my true soul. So do keep blustering, it feeds me. Keep hating, it feeds me.

Keep plotting utter chaos. It 'feeds' me.

Keep up all the nominal activites of empires and realms thinking they know what true power is! THAT FEEDS ME ETERNALLY!!! ~}}}"

Terrai suddenly imparts... "You are 'not' my son... are you?"

The dark figure only looks over at Terrai. "{{{~ You will wish I was. That would make the nightmare less so, that all 'will' become, in all due time!

And it was so 'easy' to turn your weak minds to a plan that your supposed allies followed so easily. I thank you all 'so' dearly. And as for those children, do keep feasting suffering on them 'Seven'.

It feeds me as 'well'. And all that feast has a point. Wait for that day.

Know that Lord Mulhorand comes to see you all to the End. ~}}}"

And then a laughter that they cannot forget, and this from a mere shadow version, as it laughs a deep, throaty and infernal laughter from a master of the Negative Prime Dimension, once a realm 'exactly' like our own. The oil in it, the hate in it, it floods with the tortured souls of trillions already feasted upon, the power that allowed the invasion of another realm, and prepare for the afterflood to come.

No soul of light or dark here cannot stand but be shaken, no matter 'what' bluster is said next.

The Avatar of Entropy.. had finally come.

The Antaran and human look at each other and decide to get out of here and fast. The Psy barriers is put up at full power while Minax prepares her Psy assualt for the invetaible clash with this "Creature".

Jayce had enough of this " You are indeed a force that should be feared dark one. But you dont know who your dealing with. I am the God of War. And i can just end this now"

His eyes turn red as he points his finger at this dark enemy and starts to gather energy into his finger.

Hiei smiles as the darkness flame begians to gather on his arm.

They know attacking him could kill Aleaic and feed the power of this Dark Aleaic.

However another power was guiding them. One who was in its infancy and lacked the power of all in the room for now. One hidden from everyone. It knew that helping this Dark Aleaic will only aid it in time.

Yu Yevon was atlast awake and ready to aid the darknes untell its "armor" was ready to replace the darkness.

OOC: The Evil Aleaic makes his entrence ^^ this can not be good for ANY one other then Yu Yevon and the Majin Emperor. Yeah when it comes down to the fight i think i will leave him to you gaians << lol.

The 'Dark Aleaic', now Lord Mulhorand, only opens his arms wide. "{{{~ Do please try. I sense other 'wanting' you to attack a mere shadow of the true power yet unseen. ~}}}"

A split moment later however, a beam of pure light suddenly stabs through the neck-chest area of this dark being, causing a HOWLING scream of pain.

":: ~ it's about time this plan had a result. ~ ::"

"SON!?!?" Terrai shouts.

":: ~ Hey dad, gimme a sec. ~::"

Mulhorand staggers away from the blade, his form 'actually' bleeding black blood that easts into the very floor.

"{{{~ Not bad... for a whelp that can't even control his own feelings. ~}}}"

Aleaic just spits back.. ":: ~ I knew even the Seven were not completely evil. Tools that lead blind lives need others to command them.

There are few that would go this far. That message in my mind and dreams was a mistake. ~ ::"

Mulhorand only straightens up and 'heals', using the fear and hate in the room to do it. "{{{~ As is that war you keep prattling about. How 'else' did I pass through the Dimensional Barriers to reach a realm, the 'only' that could thrwart my Commandment of the Entropic.

But 'better', it was one in this very room that advertised the very existence of this dimension in the 'first' place. ~}}}" ..and it turns to look at Washu. "{{{~ My alternate version and slave of your mirror was correct about this realm, thanks to that dimensional experiment of course. ~}}}" Washu staggers back in horror! "That's impossible! No one...."

"{{{~ ...could have known? You forget how 'much' all reality is entertwined with one another. How much all emotions and acts are facets of a being that has many facets, and 'many' avenues kept hidden.

MY Mistress Washu was very effective in her task of breaching the Barrier, and soon, my Dark Ascendancy will thank you all for your knowledge of this realm, by tearing it all APART!! ~}}}"

Yu Yevon sees the time is not right for his takeing controle and Jayce and Hiei both stop gathering energy

" Dark One your no match for Aleaic as you can see he has tricked you. Dont feel to bad. He seems to be rather good at it." Jayce pops his neck and keeps a eye on The Band of Seven in case they try to take advantage of this event.

Hiei meanwhile looks right at Aleaic and thinks to him self :" Why cant i attack him. Now would be the best time i could kill him for good. But i cant... why...":

Weyoun was like acting like a Vorta. Already planning for war with this new force. He knew this would be a challange to say the least. He hoped they had time to rebuild from their current state befor war.

The Emperor was personally afraid of this new darkness and backed away. The Antaran Minax being of an Elder Race that prides itself on its ability to wage war and being extremely Secretive prepares for what seems to be a massive clash between powers.

(Yeah found it bump)
