Gyrious- A dead planet

Life once thrived upon this ancient world, but now none live. All that remains are the ancient ruins of the glorious empires and civilizations which once stood upon this world. But there is something in the air, something which made a hand suddenly pushed up and out from the ground. It grabbed the top of the dirt and a skeleton thing jumped out. The smell of rotting skin filled the air as the dead being was yet again brought back to life. It's eyes glowed orange, and it looked around at the ruined cities. It then looked up at the huge dark cloudy sky and roared.
Suddenly, more of these deadthings popped out of the ground.

The dead have been awoken upon this planet, and the technology which their ancient empires left behind was still around.

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

Meanwhile, onboard the Tyrant Class Towerless Super Star Destroyer Tyrant.....


Lord Aunshi looked out at the planet and he knew something wasn't right.
"Standard orbit please helmsmen."

He continued to stair out at the planet. Something's not right here. Something's wrong.... Wait....Ahhh....... I feel, life and yet no life at the same time. This.... Is a good finding.
"We've found what we're looking for people. Congratulations people."

The Bridge suddenly cheered, but few, save one officer knew that they didn't know what they were looking for.
"What were we looking for my lord?" the crew man inquired to the dark lord. This was Lieutenant Termint, an "insubordinate" crewman always looking for answers.

Aunshi turned to the Lieutenant, "Well, that's an interesting question Lieutenant. Didn't I ever tell you?"

"No sir. Why not?"

"Because this is for my eyes only. And a few others. Your ranking is not above the rules of the Empire, Lieutenant. Clear?"

"Y--Yes sir. I was only concerned. I have a feeling which is telling me that we're not going to survive this.... Mission."

"You're gut feeling is wrong. The Dark Side is with us lieutenant, and any more questions will result in your death and then your gut sence will be showing clearly."

"Of course my lord. What is it you needed me to do?"

"Send a transmission to these nations."

"Why them sir?"

"Because I wish it. Now go."

Several Lambda Shuttles have landed on the southern hemisphere on the planet where there are more dead cities, and yet some "open fields."
Builder Shuttles have dropped off basic garrisons and barracks down onto the planet where the scientists began to set up their equipment. Several small command posts have been set up on the planet.

Corporal Scorn and Private Mussilni were sent out to scout the dead cities.

"Scanners picking up anything private?"

"Nah, just a bunch of rocks, debris and whatnot from the ancient cities. I don't like this place this place gives me the creeps. I mean, the whole civilization just died out. No reason."

"This planet I've heard has had a bad history. I've heard that the dead rise up from the ground and start to attack you."

"You know you've been reading to many holo-horror stories. You need to shut up."

The two marines continued on walking through the dead streets. There were boddies all over the place, skeletons. They were in their vehicles, hands still on the wheels.

"I have a hunch that this place had their version of a nuclear warfare and wiped themselves out."

"A good theory private, but not very useful. These buildings are still intact, buildings which shouldn't have survived if there was a nuclear weapon to drop here."

"Humph. I still like my idea."

"You've been reading to many armageddon holo-stories as well."

*Beep* *Beep* "Hey Corporal! I'm picking up something!"

"What? What is it?"

*Beep* *Beep* "I uh... I can't tell.... It's--It's--It's...."
*Silence*

"The signal's gone," the two solders stood silently. They looked up ahead but saw no movement. They looked above themselfs and saw nothing. They looked at the ground and saw nothing.

"That's it man. I'm out of here. I'm going back to the camp. Where are you private...??? Private?? Hello??" Private Mussilni was no where to be seen. Scorn looked at his wrist to check the vital status of his friend and found it to be a flat line.... Dead.

"T---That's it. I'm bailing," the Corporal turned and ran back to camp as fast as he could. As he was running out, he just missed Private Mussilni dropping to the floor with his head missing. Corporal Scorn continued to run, he ran and ran untill he was clear of the cities edge. He was out of breath when he heard a noise from beneith him, and was pulled under the ground. Never to be seen again.

Throbbing with essence, as he stood aboard his Throne, Totalius felt the faint prickle of another disturbance, and another, and another. Something was indeed odd, as the Force lurched and bounced, as it was throbbing with power one moment, and then drainingly weak the other.

"Head all forces towards the site of this oddity." Totalius commanded to his tuned commanders, as they wrapped the large ship around and began course, blinded by technology, but inexplicably by the sniff of death...and simultaneously, life.

"My lord, we're recieving a message from Darth Totalius."

Finnaly, someone has answered our message. "Tell him that the group will be meeting in the southern hemisphere, inside the largest city there."

"The group sir?"

"He'll understand. I'll first check into the Command Post to see how things are going."

The Lambda shuttle landed onto the planet's surface with a *thud* and Darth Aelikes strolled on out. He first headed to the command center and check on what's been happening. As he got there he noticed that everyone was spooked out about something.

"What's been going on here commander?"

"Sir, we've lost contact with 5 scout patrols which we've sent to the city. None have come back either."

"So... What is the fuss?"

"Well.... We think there's something in there. We don't know what."

Aelikes knew however. "I'm going in. If you see a bunch of ships come into this area, don't be alarmed."

"You're going in sir? Why??"

"Looking for answers Commander."

"Darth Aelikes, This is Darth Vaclavious we have dropped our Vengance Battle and Assault Transport and are skimming the ground in search. This planet is covered in a fog with the wonderful fragrance of death decay rotting skin and my favorite. BLOOD. The only problem with this fantastic scent is the fog we cannot see clearly so we think we are approaching you if we are flag us down or send us a message telling us to stop. We cannot see a thing. See you in a bit."

The small group belong to Lazarus Maya lay still near a distant nebula.
"Incoming Transmission sir." piped out an officer as the com station beeped. The transmission from Lord Aunshi played out.

"Send a transmission back acknowledging them and tell them we're coming." commanded Lord Maya. He pressed a button, "Activate the engines." Seconds later they were near Gyrious.

Everyone was silent for a second as they stared at the dead planet. The crew snapped out of it and they soon came into low orbit and spotted a command center. "Announce our presence. And bring us in to land there." ordered Lord Maya.

The Pantera, rebuilt and better then ever. Through the darkened corridors the crew set about their work keeping the ship in working order.

"M'lady, a transmission from Lord Aunshi,"

"Play it," Lady Nocturne demanded.

She listenened to the transmission and nodded.

"Set a course for Gyrious and send a transmission telling Lord Aunshi I am on my way,"

"Yes m'lady,"

Lady Nightshade too recieved the call. She mulled it over and decided to take one of her shuttles with two guards as escort. The ship left the hidden planet and jumped into hyperspace for Gyrious...

Lord Aunshi stood in the middle of what looked like to be an abandoned temple, he had his uniform robes on and was standing in the middle of a circle, which was followed by a bunch of seats. It looked like a meeting room of some kind, for there were little stubs of wood where the desk once was (Aunshi tore it up earlier). The room was dark, and there was a reddish smoke coming up from the ground. Lord Aunshi was clutching something in his hands.... A book. Something that the Empire hasn't seen since the invention of the datapad and books became old fashioned. He held the book by it's spine and was carefully rubing it's edges. It was as old as this planet was dead. Lord Aunshi wondered how many would make it over here, through those undead things lurking about in the city. Speaking of which....

Aunshi activated his lightsaber and swung at a couple of them which have entered the room.

This is the place all right. This is where our meeting should start.
However, those undead things were starting to rally towards the command post. They won't last the night.

A ship left Hyperspace, as the throbbing jump of the Force was felt inexplicably here, at the wasteland-seemingly Gryious, a planet unbeknowst much to Totalius. For once, he visited here as a child, but long forgotten and ill-needed were those days. He had to get onto the surface, as the transmission from his ally proclaimed to be in the southern hemisphere, at the largest city.

Deep within the southern hemisphere, a crater like mass was formed, amongst the decay and the rotting of the corpses, on the dreaded Gyrious, rumored unchasmed as the eccentric sith lord prepared his journey on foot, along with his new apprentice, Darth Xyious.

"Feel this wrath? This angry spirit's contempt?" Totalius whispered to her, as the pair of them walked intricately along the foggy outskirts of their knowledge, still walking blindly, but with their thoughts intent. At that moment, a long grazed hand flung out of the wet moist ground and grappled Xyious' foot, as it loosened it's grip towards her, a long metal gauntlet breaching out towards it.

A quick stab in the chest was all Totalius felt, when he drained it of life, as the being felt death once more, and it surged back forwards into his soul. "something is not right. Soemthing is very wrong with the Force here." He spoke quietly to himself, as Xyious helped her master up, the pair of them walking strongly, yet wary in defiance.

"There, where we are to meet, correct?" Xyious spoke to him, pointing to the city.

::Ah.... I feel your presence. Yes, it is this city. Be mindfull, for there are foul things which run about in the city and will not think twice for attacking you. Pleas enter and meet me at the temple. It should be fairly obvious.
It's the only building still remained fully intact. I've found something... Of our interests.::

The transport stopped and Darth Vaclavious steps out.

"Are you with Darth Aelikes and Lord Anushi?" He asks the rather frail looking man at an apparent landing site.

"Yes I'm the commander." he responds

"Where is Darth Aelikes and Lord Anushi?"

"They are out searching the planet."

"Alright. Me and my soldiers shall march onward and 2 TIE fighters shall accompany us. We shall look for them. O and by the way I'm leaving the transport here so you better take good care of her."

"Yes I shall."

"What's that in the distance?"

"Well Lord Vaclavious it looks like a temple."

"I know that you dumbass it's rhetorical and made to provide emphasis."

"Sorry sir."

"Better be stevenson. Hmmmm looks like a shadow up ahead a person. Draw your sabers and blasters best to be prepared. Wait that looks like Lord Anushi or Darth Aelikes it's hard to tell but whoever it is they are wearing the robe. HMMM. Let's approach but remain weary. Wait it's Lord Anushi. Lord Anushi what is the meaning of this meeting here the FORCE is very wrong here what is going on and why are we in front of this temple?"

OOC: Darth Aelikes is off at a war against Gronde/Defending the GE. Only Aunshi is present. The headmaster, Lord Vorman, is currently lost-in-space at the moment.

IC:

Aunshi pulled the book out from his robes, and opened it up. It was written in an ancient language which he didn't understand, but he could translate it through the Force.

"Bringing the Dead to Life"

The dead can easily be founded through the force as the living can. It's rather simple. Locate the dead minicloriants around the body in question and feel them through the force. Concentrate upon the dead cells and feed them energy with the force to give them life yet again. This is similar thus to recreating dead cells with missing DNA. Instead of completing the code for DNA, you would complete the missing energy which was drained from the minicloriants through out the boddy, visa vi the creation of life. As a bonus of this dark art which we've constructed, you'll beable to controle that dead being as though it was your servent. If you wish to break the life of the undead, you simply cut them off of the supply of the force they recieve and then they will die yet again.

"That book's not very clear. Something's not right. And something went wrong here. It's these wreched dead things which are interfering with the force," Aunshi muttered to himself. This was going to be news he know the others would like to hear.

The Pantera exited hyperspace and floated above the planet. Through the viewscreen, Lady Nocturne looked down upon it.

"Let them know I have arrived," she ordered.

"You think the others should know? I can radio into the transport and that should tell them the news or I could just send the TIE's to tell them. Well here I'll send the TIE's back to tell the news and you and I shall go into the temple and check things out."

OOC: Kid, it's plain obvious you still don't understand the difference. When I said [quote=This was going to be news he know the others would like to hear.[/quote] , that was meant for viewing purposes, AKA: Rping. Rping is the same thing as story writing. Aunshi never even thought what you responded to, so telepathy is out of the question. Really, as a peice of friendly advice, learn to respond to Rp's correctly. You should delete your other two posts.

Another peice of advice to improve on your Rping: Read other's Rp's and learn from them.

The shuttle carrying the Dark Lady reverts to realspace above the planet.

"I, Lady Nightshade, has arrived." A voice carried down. "Let me know where to land, if you please."

A polite Sith Lady. That's new.

Lady Nocturne headed planetside with her most loyal soldiers at her side.

"This is Lady Nocturne, where might I beable to land?"

"Lord Anushi I'm going in. You may come if you want but I goin in now I'm tired of waiting and bantering for the others. Stevenson you lead. HMMMMMMMM this enscription on the wall is rather weird looking. Let me translate this paragraph with the Force. It reads:Here lie the undead. here lie the forever restless and eternal death does not phase the. The dead will rise they will not be stopped death is upon all who enter this sacred temple.

Now that was strange. What do they mean? Surely this cannot be anything even close to the El Conado catastrophe. 80% of the population got the disease. 78% turned into Zombies. This cannot be as bad as that was. But yet the Force tells me it's worse."

Donalds go to the landing/camp site and see if anyone else has arrived I'm tired of waiting for ships to land there.

High in orbit over the planet, a small starfighter came out of hyperspace. "This must be the place," said the pilot. The starfighter began making its landing cycle, finding a place near the gathering to land. The pilot walked out, a robed figure, with a heavy hood concealing his face. Slowly he walked over to the meeting.

Darth Necromonius had arrived.

Walking inside the temple, the only structure still entirely intact, Totalius and his apprentice quietly, but swiftly, walking along, trying to track Lord Aunshi's previous message through the Force. But the dead and their tracks still lingered here, and as delicious the force here was, it was not a priority he took into consideration.

Lady Nocturne continued to await an answer, growing rather angry.

OOC: *Thumps Huntaer* Hello?

OOC: *Thumps Huntaer* Hello?

OOC:
*Wakes up from sleeping* zzz... Huh? Wha??? Forgot...


Lady Nocturne headed planetside with her most loyal soldiers at her side.

"This is Lady Nocturne, where might I beable to land?"

IC:
"We recieve you. We'll send you coordinates of the command post. *Coordinates sent.* Lord Aunshi is waiting for you in one of the religous temples in the center of the city."



The shuttle carrying the Dark Lady reverts to realspace above the planet.

"I, Lady Nightshade, has arrived." A voice carried down. "Let me know where to land, if you please."


"Please land in the following coordinates*sends coordinates.* Lord Aunshi is waiting."

OOC: we'll assume this take splace before the Chronoskimmer thing.

IC:
Lord Aunshi felt Darth Totalius and Necromonius arrive. He turned to face them. They knew it was him, though they couldn't see his face.
"Welcome my friends. We're still waiting for Lady Nocturn as well as Lady Nightshade. They will be here momentairly. In the mean time, I would like the two of you to examine this book."
He handed them the book which contained the dark secrets of this planet.

OOC: Heh, may I offer you a memory potion? :D

IC:

The shuttle landed at the command post, Lady Nocturne headed to the temple flanked by her personal guard. The hooded robe she, like the others, wore hid her face from view.

OOC: It's obvious SOMEONE has been messing with his memory recently. Now let's just assume my guy received coordinates so he won't get really pissed and try to blow you up.

IC: Lord Lazarus Maya landed at the command post and quickly walked towards the temple. He saw Lady Nocturne but of course they didn't recognize each other due to the masks.

The Dark Lady descended to the planet and walked out alone. She then entered the temple and noted the other Dark Lords and Lady.

As the prestigious Sith Lord, the Lady Nightshade entered, Darth Totalius bowed lowly in his subsequent manners. Interestingly enough, Totalius had lost all emotion, but proper etiquette. It was an odd sight indeed.

"I have heard of your certain escapades, milady." He spoke with a deliberate coldness, as if the last piece of his soul had been drained from his body; and it might have been indeed consumed by his everlasting thirst. "I am Darth Totalius, leader of the Moving Throne."

OOC: Typo

Necromonius took the book. "Thank you," he said, as he opened it up to read its dark secrets.

A small, R2 unit-type astromech droid, the property of Darth Necromonius, began milling around in the distance, trying to figure out what was going on. Hidden by tall grasses, it extended a periscope above it, looking in at the meeting. It began whistling with a combanation of fear and curiosity.

"Charmed." She nodded. Whatever else she was, she was a daughter of nobility first.

With a slight wheezing chuckle coming out from his mouth, Totalius stood back up with full height and stature, awaiting what would happen next.

Lady Nightshade looked around at the others who were there. She hadn't met any of them before so she silently studied them as they awaited what ever was due to happen next.
