“Quickly…or I shall have you arrested!”

“Ah…a Warheit…the Emperor sends me nobility. I must ask…what is the occasion?”

“Warheit you assume?”

“No other family in all of the Orion Sector has the silver hair of the illustrious Warheit family.”

“Perhaps I am not originally from Steel Butterfly…”

“No…you reek of arrogance…definitely Imperial.”

“Assured, I am Rei Warheit, the Commander of the Imperial Space Fleet and Marines. That being said, I demand you stop with your piracy.”

“Demand me? Force me to stop as your chosen few ‘slip past’ unnoticed. Surely you do not expect me to accept that I am not good enough to befriend a Warheit.”

“Surely you do not expect to live past this meeting if you fail to accept my terms…”

“You would have killed me already. I’ve seen and heard of you. Cunning, ruthless…all at the age of 28. Tell me…what do you think of time?”

“I beg your pardon…please…stay on topic…”

“What is time, General? It is simply the passing of existance? Is it segways into millions of other dimensions? No…I think time is the great eraser of the errors of man. Learn we to harness its power, and we become perfect, for a man is a god in ruins.”

“Such nice theories…however the only proven fact is that you have 5 minutes to decide your course of action.”

“And what if I had 5 minutes, then 5 more, then 5 and 5 till for eternity. In my travels, I have come across some interesting items, but nothing like this…no…this is the eye of Osiris! This is the hammer of Thor! This is all power invested in me…shown throughout history with the press of a button. This, General, is time travel, time control, and time compression!”

The masked pirate pressed the button on the elaborate machine and bullets of blue light flew out and then twisted around the room. Warheit only had a second…and then…all was lost in the universe.

OOC: Cool... a temporal RP *imagines all the rulers Crimmond has had all standing in the same room* They'd tear each other apart...

Well, to RP at my best, I need some info: How is this going to directly effect the universe, Earth in particular? Is there any warning? Is this going to be a stand alone RP that what happens here, stays here?

OOC: Necro changes a few specific things...one only applies if you've had prior contact with my nation...another the entire universe. Sure...there may be come cases in which a nation or so isn't effected...but say if it effects you for coming into contact with me...everyone who came into contact with you is effected as well.

Earth will be effected...and that will become clear later...

There is no warning...Warheit didn't even know...

This has alot to do with the Steel Butterfly Machina Wars (pre-NS history) and will feature AI and the like a good bit.

As for a stand alone RP...well...hopefully the ending will be a restoration to everything normal...so it might not have to be. However...if you feel it would completely ruin something you or anyone else has worked hard to achieve...then we'll work it out. Feel free to engage in other RP's during this one though with the same characters. NS time doesn't measure any thing.

Devastation. All around Warheit was the wreckage of civilization and humanity. He felt different…and the reflections the fire gave off of the puddles of oil just before they caught fire proved him to look different as well. He still had his sword, and for that stroke of luck he was grateful.

http://invisionfree.com:54/129/44/upload/p96.jpg

His hair was longer…and his clothes were of an odd style. The flames reflected off his shoulder armor and danced around on the rubble in the streets.

Where am I?

Warheit slowly made his way from the flames, amazingly not catching fire, and looked around. Gone were the buildings that went on forever. They seemed to have never been there. Entering a building, a being stumbled out towards him.

“I…am…Machina…Mark XIV…please state your…purpose…for disobeying quarantine laws?”

Warheit froze.

Machina…that pirate did something. That thing in his hand…time…he…

“Respond…human…or be purged…”

With that, Warheit unsheathed his sword and swung, slicing through the Machina’s neck, killing it. He remembered the stories…now…he appeared to be part of them…

OOC: Nice. Sadly, at the time of the Machina wars in SB, Roania had only just begun conquering and expanding its control on the island from the city state of Roan. Do you need someone to play the villian?

OOC: No...I'm quite capable of playing the villian...what you can do though is make up something how this unknown thing Necro did to the past effects your nation.

The Roanian army paused in its attack on the rival city-state of Agua. "Sir, your orders?"

The captain looked up from his primitive vid-screen. "Lieutenant, come and look at this." The lieutenant walked over. Instead of the complex battle schematics, the vidscreen showed only a white dot bouncing between two long white things.

"That's not good..."

"Welcome, ladies and gentlmen, to the Daily Sacrifice! Today we have two young girls and a young boy, ready to be sacrificed in the manner of your choice! Start the voting now and we'll get there in under 5 minutes"

The show cuts to commercial and the host sits down in his chair. Eyeing the security cameras that are present everywhere, he realizes that he is getting tired of this show and all this blood is getting boring. He pulled out the his ticket to relief, his death sentence, a marijuana ciggarette. Putting it in his mouth and noting the cameras focusing on him he, flipped them off and sat back, waiting to be shot and tortured. He closed his eyes, ready.
A minute passed.
Two.
Nothing happened.
The entire set was in awe, except one man, who was running out the door, probably the one of the secret police.
Looking again, he noticed the cameras were gone...

IC: Empress Domino Andolini stared out at the picturesque view of the hills and it was suddenly raining. She looked to the hills again and gaped.

The ruins of Fortress Skye were not ruins, the fortress was quite intact and had... a Polish flag over it. She looked around the office, the flag and Cresr of the Empire were gone, Polish symbols there instead. The Poles had been driven into Germany in 1948, and the Germans were happy to get anyone to help rebuild Post-Nazi Germany. They had lost the 300 year civil war.

She immediatly used her powers granted to her when she served in Hades and turns invisable, then goes outside. What in the Hell is going on here? The Plasma Pyramid is gone... the air stinks, pollution is heavy. The Empire was never like this... except in Myer.(industrial center of the nation)

SHe sighed and wondered what was going on.

The retired Generalisimo Simone sat drinking at his favorite bar. His graying beard and expanding stomach line marked him as one slightly past his prime, and enjoying every minute of it. But it was getting late, the bartender was once again giving him disapproving looks, and his mistress was waiting for him.

"Alright mi amigo, alright. I will go home now, if I can get through the traffic that is."

With that Simone pushed off from his barstool and started to head out. The streets were alive, bands played on the streetcorners and people danced in the neon lights of the shops and bars, young people danced and jostled him as he tried to make his way home. He saw an opening through an allyway and decided to use it as a shortcut, but he did not see the empty bottle underfoot, he put his weight upon the foot and it slipped. He fell, crashing to the hard concrete, and blacked out.

He awoke to sounds of gunfire and police sirens. He sat up slowly, clutching his wounded head and bewildered by the sounds, could it be crime? no, we have nearly no crime here in the capital city. He started to get up slowly, and was grabbed roughly from behind.

"Hey buddy! Don't you know it's after curfew!" Simone looked about and saw the police officer, with club poised.

"Curfew? What curfew! The Dominion hasn't had a curfew since the end of the imperialists." He stood unsteadily and shook the officer's hand off.

"Yea, whatever you say, your jacket there says general, but your breath and words say wino, and I know which I trust. You're only lucky I'm in a good mood." The officer replied.

"Bah! Don't you recongnize Generalismo Simone when you see him, look here 'buddy' I can bust you down to ran-..." Simone started to reply angrily.

"Hah! General Simone, you really are drunk mister, General Simone died years ago in the war. And you, you are a drunk about to get a beating." The officer whirled the club and hit him. Simone fell down in shock, and tried to cover himself as more blows landed on him. Eventually the officer grew bored, and Simone slowly uncurled himself, and tried to stand, every muscle hurting and bruised.

For the first time he noticed that the street was not the same. No neon lights played upon it, no people danced, no music thundered, it was empty. It was littered with trash, and the tall graceful buildings that once graced it were now ugly square ones of concrete, with blacked out windows. As he glanced down the street he could see an armed patrol coming, half a dozen armed men and a Humvee with a machine gun which had been replaced as obsolete years ago. He ducked back into the ally, from there he could see the tops of the buildings, from almost every one stuck the snouts of AA guns or SAM sites. But most of all, it was empty...so empty, only distant fires lighted the way.

Where am I? Did somebody kidnap me? But no...it can't be, there's the bar, and there's the old oak tree I climbed as a child, and there's the bay....but, there are warships on the bay, and where are the docks and terminals.

He stumbled in shock in the only direction he could think of, home. He arrived at the door, and rummaging in his pockets for the spare key to the old manor house he stepped inside. He stepped inside to see a burly redfaced man slapping his mistress, rage flowed through him, and he pulled out his pistol from it's holster under his jacket and shot. The burly man dropped to the ground. Simone then turned to the busty brunette with bruises quickly raising on her cheeks.

"Anna! Anna, mi amor, are you alright?" He asked and came close to give her a hug.

She recoiled in terror, backing away from him. And nearly shouted out three short words.

"Who are you?!"

IC: Domino walked the streets still using he powers when she saw the one person she knew, a tall bald woman that was putting a massive hurting on a mugger in an alley.

Larea dinAthos, head of Interspecies Relations for the Empire broke the mans wrist and he took off running. Domino drops her cloak and smiles. "Larea. You are a pleasent site to see."

Larea doesn't smile back. "Who the hell are you?"

Domino blinks. "I am Domino Andolini. You don't remember me?"

Larea shakes her head. "Nope, and I'd remeber an damn vampire..."

Domino knows more has changed than she thought and cloaks again, leaving Larea to herself and searching to see if an old friend, one that woked in low places, was about.

The King of Aguania looked around. He had an odd feeling that everything was out of place, that nothing was as it should be.

26-10-2003, 06:53

Somewhere deep in the bowels of a secret office, the Leader sat, brooding, pondering. Staring at his monitors, he saw a red blip on one. A man was comitting a robbery.

"Do they ever learn? Ugh..."

Pressing one of the many buttons on his control console, he stared intently at the monitor, watching the Secret Police rush into the empty home, only to find the man there one second, and gone without a trace the next.

"What?"

And then suddenly, all the screens went blank. A strange tingle went through him, as he realized that something wasn't right. Pressing the intercom button, he said, calmly:

"I want answers as to the the security failure. Now. Two minutes before we start random execution."

He sighed, and pressed the button again.

"And send a technician immedieatly."

A few seconds later, a knocking came from the entrance.

"Who?"

"Te-technician, sir." Came the nervous, frightened reply.

"Enter." Pushing another button, the 4 thick doors slid open, allowing the man in. A 3 foot square steel cage dropped down around him, immobilizing him.

"Now, explain, you have a minute." He sat back, waiting for a good reason to push the button.

"Well... I..."

"Yes?" His finger hovered dangerously over the button. Noting this, the man gulped nervously and continued,

"We... We don't know. All our cameras have suddenly... Well... disappeared."

"Ah. I see. You may go now."

The doors slid open and the technician rushed out, lucky to have left with his entire body intact.

Pressing a few buttons on his console, he sat back, thinking about the situation at hand. Flipping on the intercom system, he said:

"All Shadow clearance personnel report to debriefing room Alpha. You have one minute."

Stepping into his personal teleporter, the only one to exist in the nation, he keyed in the location of the room and was there instantly. Second later, 5 dozen men and women in black jumpsuits filed in, all of them serious and alert.

"Welcome. I am now telling you something, that if leaves this room, will gaurantee you an slow, painful death beyond your comprehension."

Looking around the room, he nodded and went on,

"Approximately 5 minutes ago, all of our camera systems went offline. A thief disappeared from existence at around the same time. I need you to go out and silence anyone and everyone who even suspects a lapse in our security. We cannot have a repeat of the Zelskin Incident. That is all."

Simone stumbled back from the door of the house, and the woman who was his....was not his mistress. Stumbling over the doorway and into the street he started to run, as he ran he could hear more police sirens converging near him. He was quickly panting, out of shape, out of breath, wondeing where he could go, wondering what had happened.

A bum,shabbily dressed, staggered out of the shadows, and reached for him.

"Penny sir? For a poor veteran?" The begger asked, one hand clutching a broken eyepiece to it's face.

Simone looked slowly up, his breath fogging the cool night air. And he jerked back in suprise. He knew this bum! But....

"Doctor Bolivar? What? Don't you recognize me? it's Simone! What happened to you? What happened here?" He almost shouted grabbing the bum he knew yesterday as a respected Council Member and doctor, usually impeccibly dressed and groomed, now shabby and unkempt.

"Simone? No! It can't be you! I'm dreaming again! I'm dreamin-" Bolivar started rambling before Simone slapped him, cutting him off.

"You're not dreaming! Why don't you think it's me damnit!" Simone growled at the bum.

"Because...because, you're dead. You died in the war against the machines, years ago. You died holding them off..." Bolivar stammered.

"Machines? War? We haven't been at war since the revolution!" Simone asked.

"Yes...we had been fighting them, we had been fighting many nations. And we have been fighting ever since, our cities are now fortresses, many of our young men are now dead or fodder for their factories. You see, after, after you died, Councilor Yang dispanded the High Council until the war could be won, Councilor Admiral Marcos and the others were killed shortly after, and there was no place in the new Dominion for a peaceful Doctor like me, they sent me to fight...they sent me to die. But no, I was too smart for them, I'm hiding you see, I'm living you see." The bum started to laugh maniacally and Simone once again slapped him.

"You stupid crazy! That tells me nothing!" Simone said. "Is there anyone else who would know what has happened?" Doctor Bolivar suddenly got a bright look in his eyes.

"Yes! Yes! I will take you to see them! All the nation still loves you for what you did...you will see them, and you will save us, save us from the dictator that rules, save us from the machines that attack our defenses, night after night, day after day, season after season, eating our dead and spewing out their own twisted versions..." Doctor Bolivar was shaking. Simone wrenched him up against a nearby wall and pushed himself up next to him as the spotlight of a Armored Vehicle rolled through the allyway.

"Alright, take me to them. Maybe they will not be as crazy as you. Maybe they will tell me something coherent." With that Simone roughly pushed the doctor before him and started off, taking care to avoid tripping on the garbage and debris clogging the path. He looked up at the night sky, it was on fire.

Deep in the bowels of Agua City, scientists looked at a set of documents. "Sir... the machines are coming."

"What?" General Black looked down at the reports. "Impossible... they must have broken through the surviving Orion forces, and the blockade of Sol..."

"We must inform the king! The Kingdom faces its greatest threat since... well, since the War Of Unification!"

"I know, I know. Get all districts on line! Top security! Move, move!" Black watched as the screen turned red. Derricks, secured. Roan Town, secured. Jungleton... secured. Mt. Wolf... secure. Altayan... not secure. "What? Try again!"

"Sir... something is jamming our signal!" All of a sudden, the screen changed to reveal the Altalayan Civil Defense HQ.

"Sir, we are under attack! The dead are coming from the... machines..." A massive explosion cut him off.

OOC: SB, you know I'd love to join this RP. I've read through the thing and it looks great. However, I have two problems: 1) I have and RP going called the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (the orignal one, not the second one by Celack), and 2) I also have to pay constant attention to the Tremalkier situation (supposedly he's on another imperialist spurt geared partially towards my nation and the Allied Powers). So, due to those things, it would be hard for me to participate productively in this RP. However, I wish you much luck with it. And if one of my other RPs ends, I will make sure to come back to this one. Thank you much for the invite!

Domino walked down the streets using her instints and soon enough, she found what she was looking for.

The creature had just finished with the soul of a begger and stopped when he saw her stare, "Domino. What in the hell are you doing in Warsaw? You are supposed to be at the front!"

She stared blankly. "Warsaw? This is Skye. The capital of the Empire of Crimmond."

He shook his head. "What? This is Free Poland. Are you daft?" His hooded head tilts to one side and he examines her. "You are Domino... but not the one I know."

She nods. "Until today, this was the capital city of the Crimmond Empire. The Crim wars were a success and the rebels won Poland and Czekloslovokia. This timeline is wrong."

He listens and nods. "If what you say is true, then how are you here, with the memories you have?"

She shrugs.

He sighs. "You can't stay here. Too many agents know you and ask questions. Where do want to go, in the galaxy?"

She thinks for a minute. "You said there was a front. Is the nation at war?"

He nods, "Against the cyborgs. Along with many other nations, but each day, the front starts to shift backwards... the nations are running out of people to use as fodder."

She frowns. "Cyborgs. The Borg?"

He laughs. "Those pitiful things? They were..." He looks up into the night sky. Flashes of light were appering. "The Polish were always triggerhappy, but something is wrong."

She suddenly knows where she wants to go and insists on it despite his objections.

Warheit saw him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw him.

Emperor Nemerov…

The Emperor’s hair wasn’t slicked back, and he hadn’t shaven for seemingly a few days. He was lying on the floor, and didn’t seem to be awake among the horror going on around him. Warheit rushed towards Nemerov and grabbed the man’s shoulder. Nemerov grabbed for Warheit’s neck, grasping onto his hair instead. In his horror, Warheit saw Nemerov’s face…or what was left of it…hanging off the left side of his head. Drawing his sword, Warheit cut the Emperor’s hand off and kicked the cyborg back, through a crumbling wall…

…and into a factory. The smell of death sickened the General and he almost gagged, but restrained himself. Mutilated bodies were on assembly lines as machines tore off body parts and inserted others. With every 3 or so cyborgs they made, a mistake was thrown out, and simply walked on by all the Machina as if they weren’t there. This was the illustrious and gorgeous capital of the Orion Empire…

This was hell…a metallic, electronic hell…

http://invisionfree.com:54/129/44/upload/p97.jpg
Rei Warheit

The Emperor rose once more and limped over towards Rei, not blinking, not breathing...a machine inside a human shell. Spinning his sword above his head, Warheit slashed through the head of Nemerov, dropping the Emperor where he stood. The Machina stopped...and slowly turned towards him.

It must have been a sight for the machines...seeing a human destroy one of their own. It had been a long time since anyone had dared. So the machines stared, as if they were shocked, and Warheit ran.

Through the streets, through the alleys, through the flames...until he had lost his breath and needed to rest.

Guarding himself with his sword, Warheit made his way into a house which seemed to be in decent condition.

"What are you doing here? Who are you?" A man asked. The fact that he spoke with emotion relaxed Warheit, even if the emotion was that of defeat.

"I am Rei Warheit, the com...a patriot. I seek refuge from the Machina..." Rei said, begging the man with his eyes.

"You can never find refuge from the Machina...but come...let me ease your nerves. I am Kyou Graav...welcome to my home."

Warheit stopped. Kyou Graav? Emperor Kyou Graav? The Emperor who was killed on Earth when a nuclear bomb exploded? What was he doing here...and how was he alive?

Warheit looked up and saw a spaceship go by overhead. It appeared to be one from a time not yet arrived at, and he had never seen anything like it. Machina shot at it, but its shields deflected the blasts back at the metallic fiends.

"What is that?" Warheit asked that man who should be dead in his own right.

"What is what?"

And Rei looked to the stars, only to see nothing.

(twisted version of my introduction to the broken wings RP)

Valentino Delacroix stood in awe at the as Angelus Delacroix stuck a dagger in the training dummieshead, backflipped, and fired his right pistol at another behind him. his son beamed back, his leathery demonic wing and white angelic wing flapping gently behind his back. then,

"Ughhhh"

A wave of pain hit him and he doubled over screaming and clutching his head. the Archduke ran from the control box to check on him.

"what's wrong!"

"disssss... AAAAIIIGh".

he exploded in a blinding red flame throwing Valentino against the far wall. the feathered wing on agelus's right shoulder burst open to a second leathery one scattering feathers spinning around him.

"youabandoned HIM! you CaNNoT LeeeeeaVEE HISSSSSEEEEERVICE"

Angelus charged his knives and they streaked at Valentino. pinning him to the wall by the hands, arms outstretched. he thrashed to free himself but the force Angelus empowered them with was too strong. Angelus drew his white pistol, sobbing. and shot his father in the head seven times, the blessed bullets turning him to ash. the gun clicked and the cartrage slid to the floor... so did Anglelus. weeping, berieved. but the sobbing slowly bubbled to maniacal laughter. his now red eyes glowed angrily. he was now the ten-year-old Archduke of all Skittletopia

OOC: Alrighty. Since it's open, here's my entry...

IC:
A man struggled through the forests of the nation of Steel Butterfly, tripping over roots and fallen branches as he ran. Behind him, a large man charged after him, moving with the practiced grace of a hunting cat. The pursuing man was Dekker Bray, a mercenary and bounty hunter of great renown in some circles. The fleeing man, a small-time criminal who had double-crossed a crimelord in a different sector of space, had a decent bounty on his head. Dekker smirked as the man stumbled for the up-teenth time over a tree root. The hunt was drawing to a close. Dekker finally caught up with the man, who was backing hurridly into a large tree, shouting for Dekker to stay back, begging him not to do what both of them knew was the inevitable. One of Dekker's AMT Hardballers came out of its hip holster. Dekker leveled the octagonal bore at the man, inches from his temple. Dekker squeezed the trigger, and brain matter and blood splattered against the tree. As Dekker turned to leave, something... odd began to happen. The world seemed to rewind. The gray matter on the tree began to seep back into the man's head, and the bullet backed its way out of his skull. Dekker watched in angry fascination as the brass casing jumped back into his .45, connecting with the bullet and reforming itself into a complete cartridge. The man jumped up, struggling backwards through the forest, tripping over the same logs and branches he had before. A bright light lit the area, and Dekker swam in darkness. Images flashed before him, images of his past, all playing backwards like a movie being rewinded. Before the images showed his birth, they vanished, and Dekker's mind was lost again...

She appeared on the station, right where the reports stated it was. It was equipped with a cloak, to hide the highly illegal action going on inside. The Empire had been toying with the idea of temporal weapons and even developed the phase cloak that seemingly allowed the station to still exist.

The commander spun and his jaw dropped. "Empress!"

She nodded. "What in the hell just happened here? I was in the palace and suddenly found out the Polish won the war. YOu were strictly instructed to leave the Sol system out of your temporal experiments."

He nods. "We did. Somone else did this. Somone from Orion."

"Orion? Our old allies seem to have made a blunder..." she thinks. "How many ships are here?"

He sighs. "Only two. Both are Border Cutter Advance's."

She smiles. "That's all I need. Commander, we're taking a little trip..."

Kanosis crawled out from beneath the wreckage out the parliament buildings. The war was going on strong. The war between the WMNK and GDODAD. He used to be a minor power until Automagfreek and The Slaglands were destroyed. he assumed control of the WMNK and they had suffered humiliating loss after loss. He began to feel he wasn't cut out for the leadership of such a large alliance. Then a miracle happened. The underwater bubble burst. However there still were several GDODAD countries left, including the one who just bombed the capital. He looked to his left and saw that the minister of defense, Jim F. Tuesat was dead.

this war will never end

Angelus's head swam with words. "Murder, power, money, might, oppresssss."

Unholy forces seemed to whisper what was happening into his ears. an experiment in time travel had caused this. in a country named steel butterfly, and there was one way to reverse the damage. the machine. Angelus knew his duty. he wet his lips and flung the palace's PA system on, connecting him to loudspeakers in the center of all major cities in Skittletopia.

"This is Archduke Angelus Delacroix. Skittletopia, is at war with the nation of Steel Butterflies, repeat, War has been declaired on steel butterflies, for the murder, by way of orbital laser, of my father the great Valentino Delacroix."

Everyone froze with shock. repulsed by a vile crime, united by a common enemy.

"Skittletopia's entire infantry will be deployed to search for the control box to this device. so we expect the home guard to organise itself to guard our sovereign borders, post haste. that is all."

Angelus rotated his chair and set upon relaying to paper a picture of the timetravel device. he hailed an aide into his office and requested that the picture be given to the entire away team, they should destroy it on sight"

the voices. "Gooood boy, you're on the track to some Real power now."

The two ships launched, landing craft full of marines, not the Assault Marines, but Strike Marines that nomally escorted convoys or did ops work.

The ships streaked through the night, entering hyperspace, unaware of what they would face.

In Warsaw, a terrorist blew up a dirty nuclear bomb. The terrorist was decribed by surviors that died shortly after as a tall bald woman an agent of SARSA.

The Polish and allies declare war on SARSA and a massive nuclear launch is started. The major cities of both sides are destroyed in minutes, the enitre European continent entering the first stages of nuclear winter within hours.

Warheit awoke, and without waking Kyou Graav made his way out of the house. Squinting his eyes as he saw the sun, he carefully made his way through the urban jungle of Monarch City.

Warheit awoke to find Kyou Graav making breakfast. When offered, Rei said he wasn't hungry. Ignoring Graav's warning, Warheit left the house to find that ship he saw the night before.

Warheit awoke, and saw himself beside him. His counterpart woke up and left the house, squinting as he saw the sun. Warheit followed.

Dekker crawled about, keeping low. He located some sort of building, and crawled inside. Most of the walls were blackened, and the lettering was unreadable. All he could make out was some thing about 'Orion'. What the hell does 'Orion' mean? Ain't he that fella who wears that belt?...

26-10-2003, 19:26

Warheit followed himself down the alley and watched himself be attacked by Machina. Not knowing what his counterpart's death would have on him, Warheit attacked and killed the Machina...but not before one ran his counterpart through the midsection.

As he held himself in his arms, he looked up to see the future space ship heading north, and this time he distinctly made out a burgundy and silver butterfly logo on the bottom, confirming that it was not from this reality...or at least this time. He looked down, and a child was now in his arms.

Holding the infant boy, Warheit wondered what the hell was going on. He had studied temporal physics entensively during his time at the academy and was quite good at it. However, he had never heard of anything like this.

He put the lamp, which had taken the place of the infant, on the road and continued north, heading towards the ship...and hopefully answers...

Warheit stopped...and suddenly...there was Necro, the bastard pirate who sent thkis chaos into motion. The crimson molester of time smiled at Warheit and chuckled at his emotion mixture of confusion and anger.

Death, destruction, disorder...it was all this man's fault. Enraged, Warheit swung at the space pirate with his fist and connected with what seemed to be much harder than bone. It was then that time froze. Everything stood still.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From behind a box, Warheit walked towards himself. The still version was clenching his left hand in pain. Warheit looked down at his broken left ring finger. It should be healed soon...it had been a long time.

He changed directions and headed to Necro. Holding his sword in hand, he promptly sliced the molester of time through the neck, exposing his inner wires and metal. Warheit was right...Necro was a Machina....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time unfroze and found a very confused Warheit looking over the suddenly dead Necro. He pulled out metal from the Machina and made a splint for himself. He tore Necro's shirt and tied parts of it to his finger, holding the splint in place. His stomach was getting the better of him, and he needed food fast...

Everything was a normal day for General Theallas, overveiwing a millitary parade. Troops marched in rank and file, soldiers marching in step, then something happend. The soldiers no longer were wearing the smooth parade uniforms, yes, theey were still wearing parade uniforms, but the armor was much diferent. Sharp, with spikes on the shoulder pauldrons and gauntlets. The skyline behind them was not filled with buildings made of white and blue crystal, but they were made of a black obsidian like crystal. And the soldiers, they were not marching for an instection, but on victory parade, loot and confinscated riches held in open grav-trucks behind them, and then, in some of the trucks, slaves and captives.

Theallas saw this procession, and he knew what had happend, "I never changed. Welcome Theallas, to a nation of darknes."

Simone slowly followed the changed Doctor Bolivar through the dark streets, twisting through allyways he could see that many of the buildings bore scars and cracks as if they had weathered an earthquake. The sky was aflame with explosions, higher than could be heard, starts were born and died, every now and then a flash of light would come down like lightning and strike somewhere far away...

He blinked.

The air around him stuck of roasting meat, he was alone. Small fires sputtered in the darkness, and all around him was ruin, there were no buildings, no people, no life. He started to panic, running even though his legs and lungs pained him every step....

He blinked.

The night shone like the day, as skimmers and jets battled it out overhead. The screams of the dead and dying pierced his mind, as firey wrecks crashed down to earth around him, and machine gun bullets spattered around him. An arm reached up from the rubble and grabbed at him, the face of a bloody and dying soldier looked up at him, the blood staining his pant leg, and the soldier spoke. "Too late General...I'm sorry, it was too lat-".....

He blinked.

He was no longer in a street. It was the same place, because he could see the sea, but it was not the same. People with hungry eyes and tattered clothing pressed up against them, moaning out in misery. He was in a cage, bloody barbed wired corraled the people in, and armed...things, stood guard over them with weapons drawn. As he watched one of them shot into the crowd, and a man spun to the ground, screaming as his leg burst open from the weapon fired, screaming as others in the crowd did not rush away, but rusted for him, clawing and biting as the man was devoured in an orgy of bloodletting. The smell of sickness and rot pervaded his nostrils and and he pushed one out of his way, it was a little girl, only a few years old, but her eyes were empty.....

He blinked.

"Yes, yes, we will see her. Then all will be alright. All will be alright." Doctor Bolivar was rambling, as he stumbled back beside him. Simone opened his mouth to speak, but closed it, everything was back as a few minutes ago....except for the blood red handprint on his pant leg. "It's not too far now...not too far to see, if only you could see....her mind is clear but her soul is mad, she's a great one general, I'm I'm just a little man see...I'm, I'm just a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas." The Doctor had led them to a house, he pushed aside the blackout curtains and led them in. In and down to the basement.

It smelled like slow death in there, disease and nightmares. A single lightbulb swung from the ceiling, and half a dozen people stood or sat about...the floor was stained with blood.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" Said a figure from a seat in the darkness where two walls met. "What indeed?"

Kanosis looked at the dead body of Tuesat and turned to look at a familiar voice

--------

Kanosis was discussing NATO's involvement in the new war with the Chancellor of Ruhr when he turned around and saw himself dying on the steps and another Kanosis and Ruhrian chancellor

---------

Kanosis was discussing war plans to invade Drum Gods with the Ruhrian Chancellor when he turned around and saw two others of him, one dying one with the chancellor of Ruhr

----------

"WHAT'S GOING ON?" All three of them shouted.

The cheif scientist of Celack, Dr. Fitzgerald Kanosis looked out his window at the Celackian National Reserch council and to the steps of the parliment buildings. There were three being that looked like him. Either a large doppleganger effect or there was a tear in the time- space continum. Someone somewhere had changed history and now several realities were colliding. Sooner or later they were going to collaspe.

He put the meat down. After killing the small animal, he had roasted it over an open flame. Sensing danger...he knew it was time to go.

Slowly walking through the burning streets, avoiding some flames, yet walking through others, Warheit tried to remember his temporal class.

If time be compressed, and everything had an equal oppertunity of happening at once, yet only one at a time, eventually, events would mix, then places, until eventually, things that never were, would begin to exist.

The past had been changed, time had been compressed, and now, for the first time, events were mixing. Necro just died...right in front of his eyes...and ceased to exist.

"But wasn't Necro the problem? Wasn't Necro the cause?" Warheit thought outloud. "No...he was a Machina...he mustn't have been from my time...someone else...someone else..."

The flames were all around, and Warheit wondered how many fires could exist at once.

"The planet must look ablaze from space..." He thought, and that thought reminded him of the ship he was after...so he walked a little faster.

i.c. The Kanosis sat in the labs of the CNRC building. The DR. was running a program on a nearby computer.

"As you might see we all come from different realities...you are a born pacifist, while you are about to lead Celack to war with Drum Gods, while you have already led the WMNK to war against GDODAD. We are in your reality. now the fact that we are all here indicates something big. The entire universe in collasping on itself. All the realities are compacting. The universe will be destoryed soon...i'd give around a hundred years give or take. This was caused by someone from some reality changing the timeframe of the unvierse. It caused a significant change in the time-space continum. Now this program will reveal who's reality and when the universe will collaspe. I will try to find a solution."

Theallas had walked back inside his office trying to make sense of thing, then he looked up at his wall, on it was a map of the world, but something was wrong, separate nations were part of Thelas, or members of allied states, he counted, Diablo NL, Der Angst, EOTED, Laverunz, Syskevia, and other SATO nation, he could see images of fighting in the capitol of Menelmacar.

Then the memories came flooding back. It all started in Knootoss, the Dominion had massacred the SATO forces at the battle of Amsterdam, Knootoss soon fell. Then an attack against Diablo NL. They were captured by the combined might of the Dominion. Then, the Triumvirate of Yut had gotten involved against the Dominion, for the Dominion, the NCA had entered.

Then, Titans Hammer. In a blaze of glory, the smaller Dominion fleets defeated the ToY fleets, almost sealing the fate of the World Disk in that moment. The World Disk was destroyed, lost with all hands abhorred. Then, Der Angst, EOTED, Syskevia, and others, now, the final battle was being waged, Menelmacar.

He felt some one else in the room, then, a hand came down on his shoulder, very gentle, reassuring, a feminine voice spoke, "well Theallas, you said we were going to have some fun, are we?" Theallas turned around, standing there was Aliria, (OOC: This is one of my alternate universes, I can do with people here what I want!) in an outfit that left very little to the imagination, "Yes I did, and we sure will". Black Out.

*****************************************

Theallas was standing in his office, he could see a battle being waged in the city, his forces against enemy Grav-Ships. He would recognize those ships anywhere, they were Menelmacari. The Thelasian forces were clearly loosing, the Dominion was falling.

After the war in Knootoss, SATO broke the peace treaty and conquered most of the Dominion nations, now, it was Thelas' turn. He had felt two presences behind him, "Theallas, we meet again." Theallas turned, standing the door way were Lady Sirithil, and Princes Aliria, the two people Theallas did not want to see.

A brief battle ensued. It came to a quick end as Aliria's sword ripped through Theallas body. Aliria dropped to the ground next to Theallas, he voice was full of regret and sorrow, "I'm sorry, I had to do this, Sirithil will heal you, I know that, and you think you will be imprisoned, but I worked out a deal with Lady Sirithil. You will serve her as an assassin again, for 500 years, then, you will be returned to Thelas, I will be with you."

Black Out as Sirithil is seen healing Theallas.

*************************************************

Theallas was standing in his office looking at his map. He looked at it, this was home, this was his world, the real world, or was it. He looked again at the map, Thelas' population read two billion, Thelas was no longer part of Menelmacar. However, it was part of SATO. The world had shifted, SATO and SAVIOR were the two major alliances, but they lived with each other in a tentative peace.

As he stood there, he felt time shift, he was now lying in his bed, and the only catch was that some one was lying next to him. He rolled over, pleasantly surprised at what he saw, it was Aliria; she looked at him, "Is something wrong?" "No, nothing, everything is right." His only thought as he dropped back to sleep was, This has to be Heaven.

**************************************************

He was not in his office this time, now he was kneeling in front of a throne, in a throne room, he recognized the voice almost instantly, "Well Theallas you understand your mission?" it was Lady Sirithil giving him a mission order, "Yes milady, I understand." "Good, I am assigning your co-agent Aliria to go with you. I trust you two will come back in less than three months?" "yes ma'am". Theallas stood up, his eyes glowing pale blue as he swept out. His mission location was Angbad.

****************************************************

He was back in reality, in his time. He knew that he only had a short time to get to work before another change hit them. He called up his temporal scientists. "I want to know where these changes are coming from, NOW!"

OOC: sorry for character usage, note, all of these time lines, except for ones marked actually, even the one in the real world future is only a possibility, will be destroyed when, and if, time goes back to normal.

"YOU!" Simone lunged for the seated figure, a woman with yellow cat eyes and delicate features. The head of the secret intelligence agency, cruel and heartless...no, that was wrong, she had a heart of darkness, Selkos. His hands grasped for her throat but she batted him away, he crashed into the wall in a heap of bruises.

"Why? You're alive?" The woman asked.

One by one the soldiers that were lounging around the room dropped to their knees. "He is the Generalismo, returned from the dead!"

Simone coughed and muttered. "I'm not dead."

He blinked.

He was in a prison cell, dark and dank, the only light coming from a small window. He pushed himself up on his elbows and looked around, and looked into his own face. One dead eye stared back at him, the other gaped empty, the face was a mass of scars and filty gray hair. The apparition in front of him began to speak in a cracking voice, each word painfully pronounced from a throat unaccostomed to speaking.

"I'm you, or I will be. Look...Time, is, falling apart. You have to change it, you can't let this happen to y-"....

He blinked.

He felt hands at this throat, strangling him. His own hhands clutched at another throat, gripping as the breath fled from both of them. He opened his eyes to face, to face his brother. His brother, twenty years dead, his brother the last emperor of Talkos, his brother, who he attempted to save from the rebel mobs. Simone's brother spoke through gritted teeth.

"Think you can take over, do you? Well little brother, let's see if you can at least die like a man!"

He blinked.

The woman was talking again. "Yes...very nice story. Well, you may or may not be who you say you are love...but it doesn't matter now. One way or another we can use you, and the only way we can is if you know what happened."

Simone attempted to reply, bewildered as he was helped to his feet by the soldiers. "What happened....the Doctor said there was a war. We've been peaceful ever since the revolution..."

The woman barked a short laugh. "Hon...now I know, whether or not you are Simone, you are not my Simone. We fought a war, we fought many wars, we were dragged into the Melkor war, we were a target of opportunity of the Dominion war, we were a main player in the machine wars, we still are... The orbital bombardments were the worst... they started off with-"

He blinked.

He was in a ship, a spaceship...but Talkos had abandoned all but near earth space. He looked around....and saw nothing but death, all around were bodies, dead bodies, the blood still running from their wounds. He turned over one of them, a blade sticking out of it's stomach...and saw himself. The dying Simone muttered painfully. "Dead...all dead....all gone..." Then, he died, his last breath mingling with that of Simone. The consol began beeping, a ship was approaching.

In Europe:

Warsaw stood in radioactive ruins, but was suddenly a bustling city. Several people stood together in an office at the palace all staring in shock at each other. Goor, Andrew IV, Vladimir Saratov I and Reil Tian looked at each other.

Each of the leaders of Crimmond had known that they were all dead nearly an instant ago, now they were all staring at eachother, all very much alive and then saw the Polish flag.

All of them said the same thing at the same time, though not in the same language. "Holy sh*t."

In the next instant all the sidearms came up, from Saratov's .45 to Tian's Bryar Blaster Pistol and Goor's Bowcaster. They all looked at eachother and time seemed to ditort again, but it slowed to a crawl as each fired at the same instant. Then it snapped back to real time and three of the figures fell. Andrew the IV and Reil Tian looked at eachother and smiled.

Reil put away his blaster and put out his hand. "Good to see you again, sir."

Andrew nods and takes the hand. "Same here Reil, but... what in the hell happened to my office? and what is THAT" he posited to the Polish flag, now standing by three different flags of the Empire. "Doing in here?"

Reil shrugs. "I don't know." He looks to the others, dead on the floor. "Whatever brought them here I guess." He sighs and looks out the window. "The Plasma Pyramid is there... but the rest of teh city looks fragmented into different times..." He points to the early primative building next to huge weapons plants pumping out smoke next to an equally large weapons plant producing no smoke.

"Someone out there has totally f*cked with time..." Andrew IV said quietly.

Finally...

Warheit was breathing heavy as he made his way down the mountain. He had last seen the ship traveling over the climax of the rocks and by its lights, appeared to have landed. A military general in excellent shape, Warheit hadn't been exausted in some time.

He approached the ship cautiously. Indeed, it was one of Steel Butterfly, but even he, the Commander of the Imperial Space Fleet and Marines did not recognize it. It had to have been from the future...or at least a future.

The doors opened, reveiling a bright white light, and Warheit felt drawn to it...not by the light or the ship...but by something inside himself. The doors closed, and the ship left the wretched planet behind.

Rei Warheit

"Rei Warheit I presume?" a man asked. "I am Leon Williams...the captain of the vessel."

"Rei Warheit I am..." Warheit answered...and eveyone except Captain Williams bowed.

"You must understand where we're coming from..." Williams explained. "We've been looking for you though."

"What the hell is going on?" Warheit asked. It was starting to come clear to him...or was it?

"The universe is collapsing upon itself. There is no more time-space continuum. Time isn't a concept any longer. Time is in fact...compressed. We're trying to find out who did this..."

"I know who did this!" Warheit shouted. "Necro the Red...but I killed him...and it's still going on!"

"Necro didn't do this out of his own free will. No...he was programmed to. We examined his body...someone designed him for this purpose." The Captain pointed to an examining table across the room which held the mangled body of Necro. Nemerov repeated the saying from his temporal class in his head.

If time be compressed, and everything had an equal oppertunity of happening at once, yet only one at a time, eventually, events would mix, then places, until eventually, things that never were, would begin to exist.

Williams, almost instinctively, said it outloud.

"Places have mixed...and already things are coming up from the past that has no ties with anything. Planets have disappeared. Stars have awaken. New distortions have arisen. Planetary systems on the outskirts of the universe...have ceased to exist..."

"Then who did this?" Warheit asked, shocked at the information.

"We're not sure...we were hoping you would have some more information..."

And with that, the planet of Steel Butterfly exploded in a massive light, and then a huge shockwave rocked the heavens. Warheit looked out the window at where his home used to be and remembered the first time he ever saw the gallant planet from space. His memories blurred...and a tear fell down his face. He'd fix this...if it was the last damn thing he'd ever do...he'd fix this.

Wiping the tear off as the ship flew into the darkness, Warheit clenched his teeth together. Never before had he been in such a rage.

Reil and Andrew looked up as the door opened and Domino stepped in. She sighed and looked at them. "It's getting worse..."

They both nod and look at a computer screen. "The planets population has trippled," Reil says. "here is a bright side though." He looks up and smiles grimly. "All the wars have stopped. Too much confusion."

Domino nods and looks out the window. "Soon there won't be anything left... The universe is dying. Why, who knows? I just hope thaty someone can find a way to fix it.

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

Reil looks up as Domino enters. "What the hell?" she asks, then shakes her head. "Don't answer. I have a bad enough headache as it is..."

Reil nods and Andrew continues to stare out the window. "Is this nightmare the last thing I'll see?"

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

Reil and Andrew look up as the door opens and Domino and Larea dinAthos enter.

Andrew arches a brow at the bald dinAthos. He had never seen a Beta Cygnian.

Reil frowned at a computer screen. "Polo's Bolos has jumped ahead... it's now just outside the Alpha Centauri System... The radiation has killed everything in it."

Andrew just looked out the window. "The universe is falling apart... time itself has no meaning... we're all doomed to non existance if some way to stop it isn't found soon..."

OOC: Polo's Bolos is a large 1.3LY wide storm with two black holes orbiting each other like bolos. The debris they collect puts out unimaginable amounts of hard radiation. It was supposed to hit Alpha Centauri in 30 trillion years.

As stated before...I have a general idea of the ending...and I will need it to further progress with another storyline of mine. Also, I find that if RPs go too long...they stray from the meaning...and lose their purpose.

OOC: Ok, let's see. This is one of my first character-oriented roleplays (in NS, I've roleplayed pretty much before), let's see what I can do. I hope I don't ruin this :P

IC: Eric Kelior, CEO of the Kelior Corporation, opened his eyes. "It's still dark", he muttered to himself, not yet awake, and closed them again. "It's dark and cold, still time to sleep.." He reached out to get his quilt. But he found nothing.

He opened his eyes again and rose. He was in a dark alley, between huge, dark buildings. There was only junk around him - a couple of broken cars.

"What the hell?" he shouted, but nobody responded. He quickly looked around and walked out from the alley. He regocnized the place at once - even though it was much different from what it had been. In front of him, maybe five hundred meters away, was the Presidential Palace. It stood there, noble as ever, symbol of the President's power. But that was it - everything else was different. The air was polluted, it smelled awful.

He looked down and saw his own clothes - and screamed. He was wearing a tattered t-shirt, about as tattered pants and he had only one shoe.

"WHAT THE HELL?" he shouted again, but his voice lost to the sound of the hundred cars driving in the road in front of him made.

Suddenly, he was very, very afraid. He was the CEO of the Kelior Corporation, he remembered it clearly. Yesterday, he had gone to sleep in his palace, in the countryside, far away from Kekkos-Vantaa. He was the richest man in Kekkosmaa, what the hell was he doing in that alley, dressed in this.. junk?

He was almost too afraid to look to the right, where he knew the office of the Kelior Corporation was. He stared at the road for minutes, gathering his strength. Finally, he turned his head.

He saw it - the sign of the Urheus Corporation.

His heart froze - the Urheus Corporation had been consumed by the Kelior Corporation years ago. It simply didn't exist anymore - what the hell was it's sign doing in above the door of the scyscraper that belonged to the Kelior? Eric shook his head, feeling desperate and confused - especially confused. Something was wrong, horribly, horribly wrong.

Eric saw many people who were dressed like he was - normally there was maybe one bum on that street - even now he saw at least ten. He walked to one of them, who was using a newspaper as his quilt, took the newspaper from him and read one of the headlines: "President Jaakko Urheus gives more funding to the Urheus Corporation's space project. The Urheus Corporation announces the development of the Armageddon Class Cruiser."

He lowered his head, stared at his feet. After a moment he started to walk towards the skyscraper.

OOC: This is a different Kelior. This guy's already in the skyscraper.

IC: Eric Kelior looked out of the window, turned, and sat on his chair. He opened his computer (wondering, why it has been offline anyways) and briefly looked at some of the papers on his table.

He typed his username and password and expected the familiar "Kelior"-logo to appear on the screen.

It didn't - instead a huge, red text appeared. "Urheus."

"What the hell", he asked from his secretary through the phone. "Have you been messing with my computer?"

"Of course not, mr. Urheus", his secretary answered, sounding confused. "Wh-why do you ask?"

"Never mind", Kelior said, dropping the phone and stood up at once, both confused and frightened. Something was wrong.

Mr. Urheus?, he though. She called me mr. Urheus? WHAT THE HELL?

He took the phone again and muttered: "Err..What did you call me?"

"A-are you allright, mr. President?"

He dropped the phone again and took a couple of steps backwards. He shook his head and covered his face with his hands. Am I losing my mind? Are everybody else losing their minds? MR. URHEUS? MR. PRESIDENT? The Urheus Corporation is no longer.. And Kekkonen is the president, as he has always been..

He rushed through the room, opened the door and took the elevator. He needed some fresh air.

The Marine was about to turn the corner when he saw the metal bounce across his path. He jumped out around the corner and looked at the man in front of him over the sights of his shardgun. "Identify yourself!"

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

At the palace, Domino watched the destruction of the Alpha Centauri system while Reil looked at the world maps, several of which had appeared. "Here... this is our map..." he says, pointing to one of them. "Our world."

Andrew looked at another. "Take a look at this one... it shows Arda as a nuclear wasteland. Menelmacari America and the EOTED too... like they lived out a MAD situation... And this map" he pointed to another. "That shows the GDODAD controlling 1/4 of the world! But the major nations... the UWB, Nod, Steel... Klamath.... all not there. It looks like the major three are Walten, Bajon and... what in the Hell? Satanic Balloons?! He was defeated YEARS a-" He stops. "I suppose I shouldn't expect anything to make since really."

The Kanosis' sat in the lab waiting for the computer to finish it's program. It started displaying several numbers. The Dr. started reading it.

"According to this your reality is the one in which the continum was tampered with. Therefore you must go and reverse it. i have soemthign that will take you to a man who was near the tampering. He didn't tamper with it but he was the person who was nearest. He is likely covered in entropy from having a time machine deployed close to him. Since he has the entropy it possibly could be used to travel to the deploying of the time machine. You may be able to stop it and Save the universe!"

"God you have a flair for the dramatic..."

o.o.c. Entropy is a unit of messuring time. for example lentgh has the metre, volume has the litre and time has entropy.

Another voice came from behingd the marine. "I have heard of his nation, but I'm not sure of it's existance now..."

He spins, ready to fire, but recoils in shock instead. "Lady Tian! But... Y-you're dead!"

She looks around. "With what's been happening to the city, is it really that strange?"

He thinks about that. "I... guess not."

sry about this but it is just a thought

if u kill someone in the past, you could quite literally kill the world

if you killed the ultimate -g-g-g grandfather of a super scientist who cured the world of erm plague what do you do then? since it is him and only him who has the idea to cure the people and you have wiped out his entire family tree with 1 action

or if for example you kill a mass murderer who turned out to have done you the favor of killing someone worse then him what whould you do?

and i am sure there are billians of other examples

They turn a corner and she walks slowly around a destroyed Panzer. "I'd say we're in the German area at the moment." She looks down the road at the people walking aimlessly. The palace can be seen. It is a shelled out ruin and a shining, untouched building... at the same time. She walks straight towards it, the marine following.

Andrew is studing the warzones across the globe. "The wars have started up again. The GDODAD is pressing towards Tokyo and Bejing."

Calm...calm down...relax...

Warheit opened his eyes. He was in a beautful field. Off in the distance was a majestic white waterfall. Over the water came a soft breeze. He had been to this place before, although he didn't remember when.

"Damnit...where's the ship?"

A few feet behind him, Captain Leon Williams was furious. They appeared to be the only ones here.

Ignoring the good captain, Rei laid down on the flowers. The sky was blue with no sign of clouds...and the sun felt good on his skin.

It was not to be expected then, when a darkness followed by a buzzing noise came over the falls, approaching the two men and growing in size. Darker and darker the heavens grew until all light was blocked out by the machines.

The Machina flew, with insect-like wings, over head, buzzing about their prey. Williams seemed not to notice, and Warheit was surprisingly calm. It was all begining to feel normal to him. He stood, silent among the diabolic buzzing.

And then the flames. Each flame burned deep into Rei, and he knew he had to fight. The flower turned into people, crying, screaming, dying as the Machina attacked them.

Rei and Leon stood in circle of flames as all around them people were killed, piled up, and burnt. Warheit didn't know if this really happened or if it was just a product of the dying universe...but he didn't care. It merely angered him even more. He looked up, smiling for reasons unknown to anyone but him, and slaughtered the nearest Machina, his sharp blade easily slicing through the evil combination of metal and flesh. It felt so good to kill.

IC: Agent 283 suddenly finds himself walking through a paradise. He was still in his usual suit, tie and sunglasses as he walked along the pathway, looking about.

He was in a garden, it looked like. Plants and animals of all kinds were about. He stepped through an archway that led into a hedge maze and found himself in a desert wasteland. He turned around and the garden was gone.

He climbed a dune and looked about. There was smoke over the next set of dunes. The agent scrambles down the sand and jogs towards the next ridge of sandy hills.

OOC: Post #101! Just as background knowledge, Warheit once ordered the slaughtering of a whole colony of elves within Orion borders.

IC:

Slowly, the Machina transformed into different creatures, which in turn transformed into elves. Warheit was shocked...there had never been elves on Steel Butterfly.

The elves seemed not to notice the two men staring at them. They simply walked, and were ever they walked, put out the fire. Rei thought he saw something...and by the second time he knew it was true...the elves were walking though each other.

He stood there in the field populated by elvan ghosts, with Captain Williams cursing and muttering to himself in the background. The elves seemed to grow old...slowly at first...then faster...and faster...until they were dying and being born within a few seconds of each other.

The sun and the moon rise and set so fast that it seems as if the sun is always up. Warheit squints his eyes and stares into the sun...his own person star now...and is consumed by it. His legs stiffen up. He feels so tired...so very tired...

Agent 283 climbed over the dunes and looked down at the caravan. "Hello!" He shouted out as he slid down towards them. The response he got was about 15 AK series rifles in his face. "Hey now!" He says. "I don't want trouble, I'm just lost..."

One steps forward and removes it's hood. Larea dinAthos smiled at him. "Stand down, he's a friend." They do and move back to thier fires. Larea looks at him and laughs. "You never take that suit off, do you?"

283 recovers from the shock of seeing her and looks around. "How in the hell did I get here?"

Larea shrugs. "Same way I did... the garden. Don't ask how... I don't know."

"Will I remeber any of this?"

That morning Theallas had awoken early, he had had avid meeting with the Dominion leaders, that ended in Theallas having an argument with Kain, again. Then the news he had been waiting for had come, Menelmacar had fallen. The last of the enemies of the Dominion had been destroyed, it had also been reported that Lady Sirithil nos Feanor had been captured by several agents of Morgoth, she was now being held in the dungeons of Angbad. His only thought, I hope you now know how I suffered when you betrayed me.. The rest of his day was uneventful, the supervision of the torture squads, ordering the execution of dissenters. He had everything, his nation, his life (better than some of his other realities), his love. He was happy, happier than he had even been.

************************************************

Theallas was standing in front of a desk, Sirithil’s desk, Sirithil had just finished lecturing him, they way he could tell was that he was about to fall asleep. “Any questions Theallas?” “No, no questions. except that I want to know what is going on here?

*************************************************

Time had shifted again and Theallas was standing in his office, looking over a map of the NS world. “Not one threat, wait, ohh Menelmacar has already handled that one.” As he stood there he could see the Crystal City out of his window. He had received a report from Cyberutopia about the reconstruction still going on there, life was grand, life was grand.

***************************************************

Theallas was crouched behind a rock, he would recognize the massive structure in front of him anywhere, Angband, the fortress of Morgoth and the last place an elf ever wanted to be. He dashed across the open land, running as fast as he could, finally reaching the cover of a slave shack. Then, he dashed again, this time reaching the wall that separated him from his prey. He jumped the 20 foot wall in one swift movement, landing on the other side noiselessly, as he crouched there he looked straggly feline. And then he went off, he ran deep into the corridors of Angband, dodging patrols all the way, then he saw his prey.

OOC: That place holder will be replaced by actual story plot once I figure out what to put in there.

Warheit entered the Emperor's office.

"Did you finish the job?" Nemerov asked.

Not knowing what "the job" was, Warheit froze. Thinking fast, he said "My job is never finished."

"Ah," The Emperor said, his smile turning to a frown. "And neither is that of the AMF rebels?"

"Pardon me, sir?"

"Ever since we took over that bastard region, it's been nothing but trouble. Why...it almost doesn't seem worth it." Nemerov said shaking his head. "But General, we must make it worth it...for all those men who died...and all those men you killed..."

"I killed...what about..."

"No, General...we both know who's fault that war was..."

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

Warheit entered the Emperor's office.

"Did you finish the job?" Nemerov asked.

Obviously this was another universe. "My job is never finished."

"And neither is your smart ass attitude," the Emperor lectured. Warheit frowned. "Mr. Dreadfire of Automagfreek wants those escorts NOW...not next month."

"But sir, doesn't the military have more important things to do than escort foreign leaders around?"

"No one is more important than our allies!" Nemerov commanded.

"We are more important that our allies!" Warheit shot back. It was strange...even in the alternate universes...Nemerov and Warheit had the same troubles.

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

Warheit entered the Emperor's room.

"Jeorb finesh dod the you?" Nemerov asked. The floor was bubbling and the walls seemed to have begun melting. The heat made the room hazy, like how an asphalt road gets in the summer time.

"Joerb finesh dod the you?" Nemerov asked...more serious this time. Warheit heard the buzzing...Machina were coming. Nemerov mumbled more distorted words off until a phrase came clear. "Then they will finish you!"

Warheit spun around and sliced through a flying Machina. The two sides of it disappeared. Slowly, goldfish, pencils, and Nemerov himself became the bastard machines, all wanting one thing - Warheit's death. They swarmed on him, covering him, smothering him, until he could no longer breath.

Then everything was dark...yet he was still alive.

Domino moves over to look at the bodies of the dead leaders and recoils in horror. She recovers and looks at the wound. "Andrew, what kind is your sidearm?"

He looks up. "A .45 Colt. Wh-" He finds her hand squeezing his windpipe in the next instant.

She stares into his eyes, as if trying to bore a hole through his soul. "I was the latest Empress of Crimmond... but I was there at the start of this nation." She points to Vladimir Saratov's limp body. "I was the daughter of the first ruler... you killed my father." She squeezes his neck hard and he falls limp.

She keeps squeezing and flicks her wrist, a crack coming from his neck and she let hinm drop. Andrew's head is at an impossible angle. Domino looks up and sees Reil pointing his blaster at her. He could have stopped her, but didn't.

Reil holsters the weapon. "Let us hope he is the last that dies today." he says quietly, returning to the maps.

Reil looks at a sensor image of the space around Earth being broadcasted from a border cutter. His jaw drops as a blue funnel forms and the cutter is sucked through... only to find itself exactly where it was. Earth orbit.

This was not the wartorn and scarred planet it had been around, this was a world that had recovered from WWV, where WWVI had never come to be, where Melkor and Siri where still in coldwar, where peace was prevelant despite so many small wars.

The Earth that each of them knew. The universe each of them knew. Not only was time being compressed, it was becoming unphased, where plants appeared where they were years ago. All the possibilities...

Reil and Domino looked out the window, the picture didn't lie. The tunnel of swirling light was there and there off to one side slightly... another Earth was visible.

Domino was the first to speak. "The universe is really coming undone, isn't it?"

Reil doesn't answer, not taking his eyes off the site of the Pacific Ocean of the other Earth.

Then everything was dark...yet he was still alive.

The darkness falls, and a hand reaches towards Rei, beckoning him to grasp it. He does, and the hand pulls him upward, through the stars, and unto the time ship from the future.

Captain Leon Williams greets him along with another man who introduces himself as Kanosis from the nation of Celack.

“Welcome back…” the captain started, but Warheit lost interest in his words. Looking out the small window in the boarding section, he saw the heavens falling.

A green light pulsed in an alley and Kanosis was appeared. He looked around at the filth creeping up on him. He then noticed the body.

Looking at the humanoid rabbit, Warheit walked out the door. He promptly fell a bit but luckily landed on a bed. The matress was soft and through a screen he could see a reflection of a woman, her curves showing off her naked body.

Warheit raised an eyebrow...

Eric Kelior, who was very, very confused of being called mr. Urhola, entered the elevator and it descended to the first floor. Then he looked down and saw his own clothes - they indeed were similar to those worn by the president. Black, lots of medals, blue ribbon. Shaking his head he stept out of the elevator, ignored the greetings he got and stepped out of the building.

Eric Kelior, who was very, very confused, walked towards the Urhola Corporation's skyscraper. He noticed that the policemen were hardly able to hold themselves when he passed them by - he would have probably been jailed if he would have stumbled even once. But he also noticed that they were a bit confused when they saw him. Then he arrived at the building.

---

"WHAT THE HELL!?" shouted Eric Kelior.

"What.. the.. hell?" answered Eric Kelior.

The two Keliors stared at each other for a while - then they started approaching, looking very angry.

"Who are you? Why do you have my face?" said Kelior, the one who appeared to be the president. The other Kelior looked at him for a while, his eyes burning and hit him at the chest. "Eric Kelior, you fake", he answered. Then the other guy hit him at the face.

Lara sighed. "The universe has bee royally screwed."

Domino rolled her eyes. "That phrase is getting old fast. Or not at all since time seems to have slowed to a crawl and compressed to a fervored pace all at once."

Reil just kept staring at the planet he could now see clearly. "There. I can see the capital. It always had a green tint from the Plasma Pyramid. At least we know our nation is still there in that universe."

And soon the beauty was on top of him, moving up and down, while pushing his emotions past reality. He caressed the curves, gently touching the maiden’s soft skin. It had been a stressful year – with much tension arising between him and the emperor. This certain disaster didn’t help…but bare breasts were much more beneficial to the mind than burning flesh and metal.

“Damnit!” a voice within him screamed silently. “How do I let my mind wander now of all times?”

Eventually, his body reached his mind’s level of exaustion and he retired into the maze of bed sheets with the woman in his arms.

~Morning~

Waking, he screamed, kicking, swinging, trying to escape the icy grasp. The old man held tight, pulling Warheit through the endless passage of winding sheets. He arrived in the throne room cold and naked.

“Clothe yourself!” The man in the white sheet commanded, throwing Warheit’s clothes back at him. Warheit did as he was told and prepared for the worst.

Kanosis moved towards the body in the alley and then saw a creature nearby. It seem to be a cyborg of some kind and it seemed to have blood on it. Fresh blood. The cyborg was moving towards him looking like it had the killed the person in the alley and that Kanosis was next. Kanosis reached inside hist coat to find his 9mm and found out that the gun wasn't there. Only several lumps of metal. He looked on the ground and saw a sword. He remebered training with a sword earlier on. He grabbed the sword off the ground and held it in a parry position. The cyborg kept coming. He did a circle slash across the cyborgs body then a cross cut and the cyborg fell over dead. He grabbed the scabbard for the katana of the dead body and sheathed the katana on his back. He then looked at his hands. They were without fur. He looked at himself. Still without fur. he looked all over himself. No fur. He was a human. No longer a genetic hybrid. He felt empty for some reason. He looked around for somewhere to sit and think and that's when he saw the rabbit

Loooking at the rabbit the pieces all fell into place for Kanosis.

"The trip seperated the minerals and my genetics. That sucks."

He went over to the dead body and turned it over and stared into the face of it,

"Him!"

how can he be dead. How can I save the universe with him being dead. How can he be dead when I saw him a few seconds ago. How could he not survived the fight with the cyborg

"HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The rabbit hopped over to him and looked at him. The rabbit paused and then jumped into Kanosis. A green lgiht pulsed in the alley and Kanosis was gone

The trio finally decide on a course of action. The only Imperial place to survive unchanged was the temporal research station in the outer Sol system(I got rid of my FTL capabilities). So if time was to collapse, at least they might live a few more minutes, if there were any after that.

The cloaked border cutters streaked away from the wartorn earth and it's jewel of a twin, arriving hours later at the station. There they would wait out the end in the proverbial Cold War bunker.

The man spoke and Warheit listened, entranced by the shrouded figure. Pulling the sheet off of his tired face he began his explanation of the universe.

http://invisionfree.com:54/129/44/upload/p102.jpg

"Space...time...matter...the elements are in chaos."

"That seems obvious," Warheit said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"Quiet...listen to me. Necro was mine. I created him."

Warheit stood shocked. Who the hell is this man?

"He was a Machina...Mark X...quite advanced indeed. Everything, his organs, his tissue, it was all real. Everything except his mind was real. But oh, his mind was the greatest of them all. It took me ten years of scattered work to bring it together...but from his mind...I controlled him."

The old man took off the sheet entirely, revieling a computer chair. He put a helmet type thing with sensors on his head.

"You see...this is how I'd control him."

"But why would you send him back in time? He was merely a greedy, bastard pirate," Warheit wondered.

"Imperial credits were worth less in your day. Five credits then are worth one now. Fortunately, the credit system stayed the same...allowing me to steal money from the past...multiplying my profit five times!"

Beginning to understand, Warheit ran the information through his mind carefully.

"Who better to steal credits than a space pirate? When I discovered that you were allowing a certain pirate to steal from the empire but stopping all others, I decided to get on your good side. Unfortunately for you...and the rest of time...you didn't give in. Therefore, I had to take drastic measures. I brought Necro back and had him equipped with a space-time communicator. When he pressed the button, I would activate the space-time disruptor from my seat here. He had to press the button at the correct time however, so that if someone stole it and pressed it later, I wouldn't ruin the threads of eternity for nothing."

Warheit listened, his anger growing with each word, finally realizing what had happened. "How is this place not effected?"

"Special barriers," replied the man. "I made them myself."

"Who the hell are you?" Warheit demanded.

The man smiled and held up his disfigured left ring finger. He slowly stood, and gestured at a slave with his head. The slave brought him his sword, long, slender, sharp, with a slight curve at the top. Warheit felt his side, his sword was missing. Then the slave brought another sword, exactly the same design and size, and laid it down beside the first.

"There's only one of that sword in existance. My ancestors gave it to me!" Warheit exclaimed.

"As did mine..." the man said, and Warheit understood. He was conversing with himself once more...except this time it wasn't an illusion...this time...he was the enemy...and the hero.

Where the explosion occurred was left unknown, as well as if it was an explosion or an implosion. All that was known to existence was that matter and anti-matter alike were degenerating rapidly, spreading out from a central point. Systems after system, culture after culture, were laid waste by the universe itself.

Warheit was still in heated debate with himself.

“But you see…you have failed! You won’t leave this time period…you won’t survive. You are merely one man…going up against a palace of my best men,” The older Warheit bragged, calling in his soldiers, each one armed with a photon rifle. The younger Warheit lifted a dagger from the back of his neck that was hidden in his hair. He aimed it at the older Warheit as the guards fired at him, much to the objection of the older Warheit.

The blast shook the castle, and blasted a hole in the wall of the room, revealing the chaos of the outdoors. The older Warheit screamed as his protective barrier had been breached and shot the five guards with his pistol that promptly shrunk after the fifth shot. The effects of the universe were beginning to take place.

The younger Warheit looked down at himself and noticed that his right side was beginning to degenerate.

http://invisionfree.com:54/129/44/upload/p100.jpg

“DAMNIT NO!” The older Warheit screamed in defeat. “You are all alone! You won’t survive anyhow!”

“But you see,” the younger Warheit said, smiling for the first time in a long time. “I am not alone.”

And with that fifty or more Warheits appeared in the room, all reaching for the older Warheit.

“NO! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME! DON’T FUCK ING TOUCH ME! GET BACK! GET BAAAA….” The older Warheit screamed and the fifty or so copies touched him on different parts of his body. The same matter cannot exist in the same place…and all of the Warheits except the main one vanished in a huge flash of light. Their essence seemed to restore strength and mass to Warheit’s body, restoring his right side to normal. The roof melted away from the room and Warheit could see the time ship from the future above him. He climbed the rope they let down, and they flew as fast as they could away from the rift, leaving time as it nearly swallowed them alive.

The ship arrived just before Necro pushed the button, and Rei heard the familiar conversation take place between himself and the pirate.

“Assured, I am Rei Warheit, the Commander of the Imperial Space Fleet and Marines. That being said, I demand you stop with your piracy.”

“Demand me? Force me to stop as your chosen few ‘slip past’ unnoticed. Surely you do not expect me to accept that I am not good enough to befriend a Warheit.”

“Surely you do not expect to live past this meeting if you fail to accept my terms…”

“You would have killed me already. I’ve seen and heard of you. Cunning, ruthless…all at the age of 28. Tell me…what do you think of time?”

“I beg your pardon…please…stay on topic…”

“What is time, General....?"

“Time is only what we make it out to be. Personally…I don’t believe in time,” Warheit said in one voice tone as he dropped the pirate where he stood with his sword. He stared across the desk, at a Warheit who was the same age, but with shorter hair and a seemingly much shorter life. That Warheit stared back, seeing a deeply troubled man who had been through too much pain to handle.

Captain Leon Williams and Fitzgerald Kanosis joined the two Warheits in the room and after some time and a lot of different stories, the Captain convinced Warheit (The one with short hair who we just encountered) to go to the future with him. Kanosis and the long-haired Warheit would stay in the present time.

Kanosis was given a royal escort to the Emperor’s estate, but Warheit chose to stay. His desk, his office, his life. They were all normal…now if only he could forget it all…

Simone staggered over to the communications consol. The corrupted air began to stink with the smell of blood and death. The ship was dying, the air recyclers no longer able to keep up with the demands, power flickering on and off in surges. He consigned himself to listening to the communications, confused and scattered as they were. The console exploded, a surge of power, flashing the lights. His eyes began to fill with blood, he blinked it away to see a daggerlike shard of metal sticking out of his chest, and to look into his own concerned eyes, as another of him looked down at him. The dispair was overpowering, everything that he knew, was gone.... And he whispered to himself slowly. "All dead....all gone..."

He blinked.

"Well Simone.... it's been a merry chase you lead us on, but it's time for you to die like the traitor you are." It was the woman again. Selkos...They were in an interrogation chamber, the stale and heavy air flowed slowly through the room, the concrete walls were stained with blood.

"Traitor? I have always been...a patriot." He replied slowly, the dagger of metal no longer stood out from his chest, but he could still feel the pain, firey and flowing through him.

"Patriot? You went against the Senior Councilor, that is treachery if I ever saw it."

"Councilor Yang is not the state. He has corrupted our values, I have always served the state."

"No, you are wrong...he is the state if we have one, you and the other Councilors are holding us back...now, time to die."

He blinked.

The air was filled with the smells of old wood, and fresh jungle. He was in a courtroom, and watched a younger self face the tribunal...he could remember. The triblunal looked at his younger self and spoke.

"Now, you will have time to decide. Either die, and let your troops bathe this nation in blood, or accept Councilor Yang's proposal, and name Selkos as your successor to the Council, and resign forever from your post as Supreme Commander of the Army." With that the judge walked out.

He watched his younger self collapse into his chair. He remembered the decision he made, so long ago. To give it all up, to go into seclusion, as a aging ambassador, put out to pasture, as Councilor Yang turned the nation into a police state. He could remember, the bloody past tempting him, the future frightening him, and the present confusing him, as his life slipped away, lost in that vast, terrible, inbetween. But there was still time to seize that one last fragile moment. To choose something better, to make a difference.

"Accept it!" He almost yelled, the pain coloring and narrowing his vision. "But make her a true successor, impart in her the morals and values of our nation, don't let Councilor Yang corrupt her, as he has all the others. This is you last chance Simone. Don't let him corrupt another soul."

He blinked.

And time slipped back into place. But he didn't notice, all he knew, was the pain spreading in his stomach. And he blacked out.

He opened his eyes to see the woman...Selkos. He was in a hospital, the smell of disenfectant overpowered all else. The sounds of celebration poured in through an open window. The woman was asleep, and for some reason, he felt that he should not wake her. He simply waited, for the next shift in time and place, the next dislocation, he waited as the hours ticked away on the clock on the opposite wall, but it never came. The woman stirred, and seeing him awake, spoke softly, soothingly, so contrasted to how he had ever heard her talk.

"Hey, you're awake love. You gave us all a scare there, but I know you only want to know one thing... The trial found Councilor Yang guilty of crimes against the state, they wanted to execute him, but your words stayed their hand, he is to be exiled."

And....he could remember, two lives fought for control over his mind, the memories of this present, the memories of the other life. One, he was a washed up old man, put out to pasture, this....here his life was interesting, his life was good, he was loved, the memories of that other time fell back, melting like paper submerged in the sea.

"That's good....That's good." And he drifted off to sleep, to dream of strange and horrible worlds, of death and machines, pirates and emperors, but, he knew that he would nonetheless, awake in light.

Reil and the others travel back to Earth and find the capital untouched. The aides are shocked to see Reil and Lara, who have been dead for 8 months. It's covered up with a quick 'top secret mission to disband the War Council' story. Everyone buys the story, it seems.

Agent 283 looks up. He was no longer in that God forsaken sandbox. He was in his office, in a clean suit. Either I smoked some weirder sh*t than normal or... He called up Larea dinAthos and confirmed with barely five words what happened. He turns off the vidlink and sighs.

Reil walked into the Imperial office the next day and scanned the reports. Melkor was back from isolation and building his military in the outer solar system, Siri was being fashionably late in her response as usual, the Empire had joined the APTO, the Mizar colony was recovering from the asteroids flatening the capital, space was filled with warships and countless convoys were being raided at the moment, countless wars were happening.

All was right with the universe...

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

Somewhere in the capital, a man was taken away by the EMTs. He was screaming. "I am the ruler of Poland! I am your king! You will be shot for this you ungrateful bastards!! I'll have you all killed for treason!" They sedate him and take him away.

"Poor guy. He needs a lot of help, I've seen Napoleon a few times, but King of Poland?" He makes a weird face and twirls his finger.

The other EMT laughs and the man ends up spending a long time in a nice padded room for his 'delusions'.

the two angelus's fought, the clashing of blessed and cursed metals jetting sparks around the office... they fell back, regaining their breath... then the demonic angelus felt a twinge... he shrugged it off... but again, more proounced this time... he felt himself being drawn to the angel, and felt thier thoughts become one again. "no... NO!" He drew his pistol but the Angel stabbed him through the chest, smiling. then time began fixing, he disintegrated and entered the open wound in the demon and his right wing burst into the splendorous white dovelike form. then he seemed to drown in matter, whooshing it's way around as particles moved to thier former place and the cynapses worked backwards draining him of memory. *clunk*. he was back with his father training. then the events since then happened with awesome speed, not that anyone noticed. and there he was. his usual form. eating dinner in the great hall alone. left with the most curious feeling that he'd forgotten something important

Theallas was standing on a balcony, in front of him was a small section of court yard, walled off, the walls stained with blood. Next to Theallas the other leaders of the Dominion were standing, Nemerov, Kaine, The Ineffable Bob, who looked like any other Bob (Quote from TST himself), and all the other major leaders of the Dominion, there was also Axaphanel, he was here on the business of his master, Morgoth or Melkor. Theallas had just received a, gift, from Morgoth for his services, Theallas had never expected to be rewarded, but it was nice.

Time flashed backwards, Theallas had just received the “gift” from Axaphanel, and now was poking the Maiar in the chest, “Damn it Theallas, you don’t get it! If we let her go she will come back to haunt us! And no matter that her kind massacred your people countless ages ago.” Theallas shot back, “Listen, we don’t have to just “let her go” I just don’t want to kill the woman. No matter what, she is an elf, and we are both First Born.” “Okay General, what do you have in mind?”

Time went forward, and Theallas was standing again at the balcony, now, the back, and bloody, wall in the court yard had people standing against it. They were leaders of SATO, RIP (Rest In Pieces), Empress Joanna, the leader of Der Angst, the leader of Diablo NL, and finally, Lady Sirithil nos Feanor, in front of them were twelve soldiers, armed with pistols, Theallas spoke, “Lady Sirithil, step forward” Instead of stepping forward, she shot a ball of magic at Theallas, Theallas extended his hand, a similar ball of magic shot forward. “You see the gift of Axaphanel over there, he made me as powerful as you Sirithil. Now, you see, you are not going to be killed, instead, we are going to exile you, and imprison you in the same way that Morgoth was imprisoned. I give you one choice, who will go with you and be saved death?”

Sirithil was caught, she knew that Theallas was in a very good mood, not only will he prevent her death, but also her madness, “on one condition Theallas, the person I take with me, will be given the same gift that we were given as First Born.” “Very well, I cannot do that as I am still Elven, but my good friend over there, will no doubt do it” After hearing this Axaphanel grumbles something, Lady Sirithil smiles, “Empress Joanna will accompany me” Theallas nodded, “Very well Lady Sirithil, it will be done” Sirithil, you love to torture me, well at least I get to see the execution of my other enemies, you were never and enemy, more a friendly opponent.

Then, everything changed, Theallas was standing in a circular room, as were four other versions of himself. One, himself, wore a black robe, with a Thelas emblem, next to it was a Impirium insignia, another one was wearing a Menelmacari insignia, but sure looked like he did not want to, another wore a Thelas emblem, with out the Impirium insignia, the last was wearing a Menelmacari insignia again, but looked like he had never wore any other in his life. The one wearing the lone Thelas emblem spoke, “So time is fixing itself, gentlemen, four of you will die, and one of us will remain, who will it be” The five versions of Theallas were circling each other each held out their swords, in the center, they did not touch, but formed a circle, magic was forming in the center, a blue ball of energy, the memories of each of the generals and assassins forming in that sphere. Then there was a flash of light, and then, only the real General Theallas remained, now crouching in a sewer pipe under the palace of the dictator in that nation.

The Emperor stormed into Warheit’s office, demanding answers, but the General was already gone.

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

He quickened his pace to a run, breathing heavily as his body moved down the ally, far under any aerocars that were zooming by ahead. People stopped to look at him, watching his long hair flow behind his glorious armor and long sword. Those who recognized him didn’t speak up, for in the slums of Monarch, you kept to yourself.

It’s me…

It began to rain, and quickly his hair was soaked along with his clothes. He shivered, as the slums were void of any heat or light from the sun. Light never reached the bowels of the capitol; the people lived in eternal night.

I’m the cause of all this…

He stopped, suddenly. Not knowing why, he sat down on a box and cried, his tears blending in with the raindrops and they ran down his face. It was too much…it was all too much.

I will be…my…fault…

And then came the pain…the sharp piercing pain on the right side of his neck. A certain toxin, flowing through his veins, causing him to get sleepy…sleepy…

“Hurry…gather him up before we make too much of a scene,” a masked man said as three men in ODIN battle armor carried him into an armored aerocar and left the scene. “The Emperor will be most proud…”
