"Sir," a reporter began. "What is the last known location of Mr. Warheit?"

"Like I said," the Emperor began. "Warheit's last known location was..."

But the man cut him off, in a different voice it almost seemed. "It feels bad not being in control, doesn't it?"

Nemerov didn't budge. "Excuse me?"

"All these years, humanity persecuted all others...now finally the situation has been reversed...how does it feel?"

Nemerov looked to the side of the stage. "Get him out of here," he whispered to the guards.

"You have not followed my instructions," the man continued. "I shall give you...one...last...chance..."

Nemerov's head was spinning... What is going on?

On the other side of the room, another reporter asked a question. Nemerov answered as the first reporter was escorted out.

"I've heard reports from the Worthen that a lab was found deep in the forests. What went on in this lab, your highness?"

Nemerov began to sweat. He gripped the podium harder, trying not to let anyone notice. "The lab was used for the production of biological weapons. It has been long abandoned."

'What kind of biological weapons?" Another reporter chimed in, his voice the same as the other two. "These reports say that hideous live creations were found. Some even attacked the locals."

"The attacks were most likely caused by Warheit. The Worthen can be quite impressionable," Nemerov replied, begging the guards with his eyes to get the reporters out...but the bait had been cast, and the fish were biting.

"Aren't experiments on sentinent beings illegal?" a deeper, almost evil voice asked. Reporters and guards alike looked around. There was no one to be seen.

"Y-yes," Nemerov stammered. He had to get out. "We'll be taking a short break," He slowly walked off the stage and into his office, which was protected from all sorts of things. Shaking his head, he drank a glass of water to cool him down.

There was no need to go back to the conference room, he would later find out. They were all dead...

o.oc.. dammit. has Warheit been found yet? Kanosis has an Edge that no one else has. OOOH I just realized I made a horrible pun.

nope...and he won't be until capsule corporation/raysia gets on

Roania: good

OOC: In Roania, reporters aren't allowed to think independently. Might be wise to adopt that.

Cspalla's Ambassador George Tominson becomes nervous. He turns towards his CIS station chief, with his sub-cranial comm unit. "Did you get clearance for that agent?"

"Yes sir. Agent Blackfire is one his way."

"Blackfire? That's a codename, I presume."

"I would think so. I don't even know. Blackfire is one of the best CIS agents. Rumor has it he once got the Csap'alla Order for a mission."

"Tell the embassy to have him come by there first, for consolations."

"Yes sir," he said, and began working his implanted comm system.

"Now, we wait and see what happens here. This guy looks pissed, and Nemerov's security has got to be paranoid with a murder on the loose."

The escape pod landed a short way away from the city. The Talon stepped out, and activated the cloak device. It shimmered away.

"Now, to begin the hunt."

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

Hundreds of galactic miles away, several Steel Butterfly guards had to explain to an angry Centurion what they were doing with a RIAS Black Ship.

<BUMP>

No-one around to meet him?

<BUMP>

No-one around to meet him?

OOC: Nothing worth while

btw, you landed in the slums (only possible way to land unnoticed) which are physically under the Industrial section, which is physically under the Heights, which are the nice parts. All land and some water on Steel Butterfly is a city, so you really can't land "a short way away from the city", you'd land in it.

And I'll continue when CC posts that Biggs, Garr, and Leandro arrive at the planet

Kanosis settled in the cockpit of his new ship. He managed to aquired it from the celackian Navy along with a large scale entropy detector. He knew due to Warheit time traveling that he was covered in it. He Had been following the trail from point to point for a while now. Seems as though the bounty was pretty big because evrywhere he stopped to ask questions some pea-brain bounty hunter would try to take him out to lessen the competition. The good thing was that he was fast with his reflexes. He managed to decpaitate the first one he ran across and now he had a spiffy plasma rifle.


He started to take off and leave the planet when his rear shields registered hits. Checking his rear sensors he found that he had aquired a pursuer in a small ship trying to shoot him down. Kanosis reached down and flicked a switch. The smoke machine started to come alive and mask the rear laser turrets charging up.

Believing that he had severly damaged Kanosis' ship the bounty hunter decided to gloat to Kanosis

"Aww poor bounty hunter. You shoot some thugs and then take off but you gonna die anyways. Warheit is my bounty fool. Don't ever mess with me."

"For one warheit isn't your bounty. Secondly don't mess with me."

Kanosis turned off the smoke machine so that the bounty hunter could see the rear cannons. After the smoke cleared Kanosis fired a blast from the cannons. They hit the bounty hunter's ship and it exploded in a big fireball with debris spreading everywhere.


Once outside of the atmosphere Kanosis ran the entropy detector and jumped in the direction it lead him.

OOC: Celack, I just hope you read everything...and I mean everything...if you haven't...go do it...

This RP is now closed

You made the cut Celack

Yay! Now to read the past 12 pages.

O.O.C. Done.

I.C. Kanosis pointed his ship at the planet. He ahd last seen it when he was on the transport home. Emporer Nemorov was generous enough to give him a ride over a year ago. Since hsi return to celack his had become an captain of one of the Fleet's battleships. He had convinced his superior officers to let him go on this hunt for Warheit by saying that he would be a great asset to Celack. After visiting CE he knew that Warheit could be a great threat to Celack. The man had gone mad and Kanosis would have to stop him. He hoped the Celackian embassy on the planet had contacted the patrols and told them that he was not a threat and he was travilling under diplomatic immunity.

Biggs decides to land in the slums anyway. The Jordan comes to a moderate descending speed, passing through polution barriers deep into the slums, in the general vicinity of warheit. They landed safely in an abandonned warehouse.

Biggs grabbed a few things off a rack, namely his sword for one.

"What are we going to do about Garr?"

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/jbiggs2.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2060378#2060378)

"Leave him here and he'll be eaten alive...although..." Leandro paused for a moment. "This warehouse...it is rather out of the way."

"Would leaving him here under the protection of you AI be alright? Can your AI defend the ship for you from thieves? We really must get moving...I suggest splitting up..." Leandro finished, handing a PADD with a map of the Capitol to Biggs.

Leandro Heroth

Biggs opens the door and points to the giant turret just outside. "yeah, he can hold them off... plus he has a Taser defense systemk. Jordan can monitor Garr as well, so I think we can leave him for now."

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/jbiggs2.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2060378#2060378)

"Good," Leandro replied, starting off for the Capital. "I'm going straight to headquarters," he teased. "Are you coming along...or are we going to spread out our search?"

http://invisionfree.com:54/129/44/upload/p134.jpg
Leandro Heroth

"I might as well go with you," he said, sheathing his sword onto his back underneath his shotgun.

"Let's move," he barks, pushing him out the door and shutting it, then arming the defense systems.

"See ya Garr."

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/jbiggs2.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2060378#2060378)

"Y-yes," Nemerov stammered. He had to get out. "We'll be taking a short break," He slowly walked off the stage and into his office, which was protected from all sorts of things. Shaking his head, he drank a glass of water to cool him down.

Nemerov was quite disturbed. He had been prepared to discuss it...but...something inside him told him to stop. The horrors of the experiments...they could never be reveiled. He'd have to take care of that lab and the records in it.

"Tomorrow..." he thought, rubbing his tired eyes. He looked at the clock...it was already tomorrow.

"Ardente veritate..." a voice whispered. Nemerov froze.

Where the hell is that voice? Who the hell is talking to be?

"...urite mala mundi..." After the last whisper, laughter was heard in the background...

Nemerov closed his eyes.

When will this stop?

OOC: Doesn't seem like I can keep up with this damn thing, I'm out.

OOC: Crap. He's going to kill Nemerov, isn't he. That could make The Talon's job impossible.

Thanking the departing man for his help, McGraw pondered how to get up there. He thought about going back for his ship, but he knew flying into the Imperial Sector was a pretty stupid idea. Spotting a handy lift, he decided to take that...
OOC: I'm assuming that there are lifts from the slums to the Imperial Sector, but I'm unsure as to whether they'd be guarded? I'm thinking of the planet being like Trantor from Asimovs Galactic Empire, or even Coruscant from Star Wars, yes?

Theallas landed his ship in the Impirial area, for the first time in his career, he was going to pull his diplomatic status to see Nemerov, and get some info on Warheit, as in, what the hell was that guy, his aura was not human, sure not Worthen, and not any other race Theallas had met, quite a lot.

Theallas walked up to the palace, intent on walking past the security, with out being stopped because of his sword, or his knives, or his poisons, or for that matter his pistol.

Kanosis landed his ship in the Celackain embassy complex. As he was flying in he ran the entropy scanner and was shocked by the results. he ran to the ambassadors office. He started to speak very fast

"Warheit is in the palace! Warn Nemerov and give me the fastest speeder availible. We can't waste anytime."

"I am doubtful of your authority but since high command has given you complete backing, I have no choice there is my personal one. Good luck"


Kanosis rushed and jumped into the speeder and sped away destined for the palace.

A lot like Coruscant...

I added my own twist to it...but think Coruscant

also...it's the industrial sector...not the imperial sector

OOC: Crap. He's going to kill Nemerov, isn't he. That could make The Talon's job impossible.

OOC: You'll just have to wait and find out

Kanosis knew that he coudln't just bust into the palace with the weapons he had but Warheit ahd so he decided to follow his trail with the entropy detector. He followed it to the slums. Exiting the speeder he turned on the secutiry devicea. A small cannon that would knock out thieves. He had walked 5 steps when he heard the sound of a body falling. The defensive system worked like a charm. Kanosis walks around following the trail


o.o.c. Can I assume that kanosis manages to find his way into the palace?

OOC: Sure, but he won't be able to get into the Emperor's office.

Theallas landed his ship in the Impirial area, for the first time in his career, he was going to pull his diplomatic status to see Nemerov, and get some info on Warheit, as in, what the hell was that guy, his aura was not human, sure not Worthen, and not any other race Theallas had met, quite a lot.

Steel can you give me a responce

O.O.C. no problem. BTW he is not trying to kill Warheit yet.

I.C. Kanosis ran throught the halls following the entropy trail. he smelt something. Death. He followed the trail to a press room. It was littered with bodies. Many of them murdered gruesomely. He drew the sword off his back and looked at some of the wounds. The sword could have made them. Warheit was here. He loooked at the entropy detector again and saw that the batteries were dead. He heard footsteps and turned aorund.


o.o.c Considering Kanosis is holding a sword and there's a room full of dead bodies that were killed by an identical sword it would safe to asssume that whoever is comming he assumes that Kanosis killed those people.

OOC: They have the same sword?

and I'm working on it Thelas :P

EDIT: Thelas...I was just assuming you made it in

o.o.c yep. Kanosis took it off a dead warheit in an alley in the a man is a god in ruins thread.

ASo anyways yoyu don't mind if I kill some of your soliders in self defense.

OOC: I don't think soldiers will be present...and no...you can't kill Shockey :lol:

IC:

General Shockey entered the conference room, only to find a rabbit man with a sword standing by slaughtered remains of reporters. Horrified and sick to his stomach, he was able to spit on one sentence before throwing up. "What...the hell...are you...doing?"

"trying to find who did this."

He dropped his sword and kicked it to Shockey

"Do you see blood on that sword? The absense of blood on it or me indicates I did not do this. I bring a warning. Warheit is here."

"So we meet again...Emperor..."

Rei Warheit

Nemerov didn't need to turn around. He knew that voice, that voice which sent chills down his spine. His body tensed as the cup of water slipped out of his hand, shattering on the fine carpet. Looking straight ahead, he saw the door...so close...yet so far away.

"Your plan didn't work," Warheit began, grinning. "In fact, it did quite the opposite."

"What...what do you mean?" Nemerov replied, trying to play it cool. "The Celestial program...it gave you everything. So much power, so much strength, so much intelligence. It was a gift..." he lied.

Warheit snickered. "You mustn't have read the reports...I was a failure..."

Nemerov couldn't believe his ears. The Celestial toxin effected all humans...no one was immune to it. "You're not human," Nemerov said, meaning it as an insult.

"Ah, Emperor, you are all too correct," Warheit replied, lighting a match, then setting it down on the rug. "With fiery truth, burn the evils of this world, alas Emperor, I am an Aural."

Nemerov knew his history. But how could Warheit be a..."Shit," he thought to himself. "No...no...NO!" Enraged that his elimation of the Aurals wasn't a sucess, he picked up a picture frame, and threw it against the upper left corner of his desk.

An alarm sounded. Immediately, a forcefield went up around Warheit as two guards entered the room, whisking Nemerov away. Before the doors closed, locking Warheit in, Leandro entered.

Abaze, the room flickered in the flames. Electricity had been cut, and that meant no more life support either. Air could not even enter the sealed doors and walls.

"Are you happy now?" Leandro asked, mocking the murderer. "Your only flaw...it did you in..."

Garr had been awake for some time now, and ignoring the pleas of the AI, he exited the Jordan and limped out of the warehouse. Gun in hand, he shot a man off his hoverbike and then climbed on. Giving power to the rear thruster only, be began his assent towards the palace. He was the only one who knew the truth...and he couldn't even walk...

He dropped his sword and kicked it to Shockey

"Do you see blood on that sword? The absense of blood on it or me indicates I did not do this. I bring a warning. Warheit is here."

Horrified, Shockey turned to hear the commotion in the hallway. Nemerov was being taken off the planet.

So Warheit really is here....

The water sprinklers began to pour, wetting his uniform as well as the rabbit man's fur. It mixed in with the blood of the reporters, draining it out of the room.

Shockey loaded his sidearm. "That bastard will pay...TODAY!"

"you really think you have a change? He killed everyone in this room. Icluding a soliders. You with a sidearm will do nothing. I on the other hand have a fair chance. Wish me luck"

Kanosis picked up his sword and ran towards the emporer's office.

Shockey shook his head. "It...it doesn't even matter anymore...I'm coming with you. There's no way to get into that room. You'll need help coming up with a plan."

"i do have a plan"

shit. I can't have him following me. He'll want me to kill Waheit. He is too much of a possible asset.

Kanosis looked into the room fo dead bodies again

screw it. He cannot live after this. I ahve to take him down

Kanosis turned around and spoke to Shockey

"Then again I could use some back-up"

EDIT: oops, missed the Leandro post

"Are you happy now?" Leandro asked, mocking the murderer. "Your only flaw...it did you in..."

"It's far from over..." Warheit responded, the evil smile never fading from his face. It was getting hotter and hotter in the room as tables and chairs caught fire.

"We're both going to die in here," Leandro said, coming to the conclusion suddenly. He unsheathed his sword as the fires flickered, and then went out. He frowned...no more oxygen...

"You won't know my fate," Warheit said matter of factly.

"And why's that?" Leandro whispered, trying to keep the air in his lungs. He was genetically altered and engineered, yet he wasn't immortal. Warheit seemed not to care about air, but the air in the force field was undoubtedly running out.

"You'll be dead..."

"So what exactly do we expect to find out from the SB Government?"

OOC: I missed something... life support? Did we get into space somehow?
...also trying to conserve oxygen.


OOC: Ok then...I have some explaining to do...

The room is self containing, meant to protect the Emperor at all costs. (Nuclear holocausts, etc.) It has its own life support system that goes up when the doors lock. However, if the doors lock due to the Emperor hitting the emergency button, the life support is cut off along with the electricity and the like. Since the doors seal out everything, as does the room...well...I think you understand at least a little now...

So...as for your post...there is no need for anyone else to conserve oxygen...

OOC: Ok, I must have missed something, i didn't see any leandro threads after we left the Jordan together, then suddenly he's ina room with warheit, alone?

I'm just confused... I didn't see any other threads with the Leandro icon on them

As fast as they can, Biggs and Garr speed towards the Imperial Palace.

-----

Upon entering, they find the palace in chaos. Garr picks up Warheit's DNA on the scanner, and he and Biggs follow it to the location outside the door where they meet up with Kanosis and Shockey.

Kanosis looked at the new arrivals.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

I'm just confused... I didn't see any other threads with the Leandro icon on them

OOC:

*smacks head*

I did it again...

Assuming that the journey was uneventfull, I just assumed Leandro arrived. Knowing the room system better than Biggs, he got in at the last second...so I guess Biggs could already be outside the room...

You want me to edit the whole him and Garr thing?

I'm sorry...I seem to...ah...I'm just glad you're here to keep me in line...I get confused with the mass of characters I have in this RP

OOC: Don't worry about it, I'll just do the Garr thing

Biggs rolled his eyes, "The building is in chaos, a madman is torching things, and you're wondering why we're here?"

Biggs, drew his sword from his scabbard on his back, not in a threatening position, just drawing it in case warheit showed up.

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/jbiggs2.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2060378#2060378)

"Great even more two-bit bounty hunters. If your going to attack em with that thing I assume you don't like having your head on your shoulders."

Kanosis drew his sword and held in a subtle defensive position.

Already feeling out of place for riding a hoverbike into the Imperial Palace, and for not having a sword as these men seemed to have, Garr merely kept quiet, not taking his eyes off of the immensly angered High General Shockey.

Kanosis drew his sword and held in a subtle defensive position."No, I just don't like going against a guy with a sword and not having one myself."

biggs was a sleeper... didn't like showing off, didn't like making himself big, he just wanted Warheit dead, and the money. He could very well do it too, he had the skills, he just wasn't cocky, brandishing his weapon around and such.

Biggs has skills :)

CC Kanosis is a former spec-op trooper. He was trained in several martial art styles and thadsian sword fighting. biggs has no chance.

o.o.c assuming Kanosis has to fight with the blade what kind of sword is it. Katana -like or broadsword like?OOC: Mine? Single Monomolecular-edged, katana-like, straight, about a meter long.

o.o.c no what kind of sword does Warheit have?

The power went off, and with it the forcefield.

"And so we are equal," Leandro stated, not caring about air anymore. "Both Celestials."

Warheit laughed, a long evil laugh, one of a man gone mad. "We are not equal," he stated. "Even the Celestial toxin could not effect my glorious soul. No...I am not human...I am an Aural...this planet...this empire...it's mine..."

Angered and confused, Leandro attacked. Warheit did the same.

Kanosis' ears pricked up with the sound of swords hitting each other.

"guys there is a sword fight going on in that room."


o.o.c. Steel what kind of sword is Warheit using?

o.o.c no what kind of sword does Warheit have?

OOC: Look at his picture...honestly...FFVII anyone? :wink:

He has a 6 foot long sword, curved at the end, but due to the nature of his being, he can use it with lightning fast agility. Funny Raysia should mention monomolecular, for that is what Warheit's sword is as well.

Kanosis' ears pricked up with the sound of swords hitting each other.

"guys there is a sword fight going on in that room."


Garr frowned. All he could hope for was a good shot...and there was a fat chance of that happening...

o.o.c. Okay. Kanosis has gotten his version shortened by about two feet then.

Biggs scanned through the wall to watch the fight. "That's odd... My sensors show that there's no air in there..."

The blades crashed against each other, different directions, different angles. Warheit was good, but Leandro was made to be good. Nevertheless, it seemed that the Crimson-haired warrior was being pushed back buy Warheit's sword's size and speed.

Kanosis decided to take a a gamble. He turned to the door and shouted at the top of his lungs

"OPEN THE DOOR!"

OOC: So... Leandro is "Special" too?

Hmmm... why do I get the feeling I'm just going to be a bystander when it comes to the final battle lol

OOC: Yeah...I think page 8 talks about him...

Also...if you think that...you're in for a surprise...

perhaps :wink:

Wow! three genetic experiments in one thread. In the final battle Kanosis is not gonna be a bystander. he is going head to Freaking head with Warheit.

Biggs hastilly took back the rifle from Garr, "sorry man." He opened up a small compartment on the side of the weapon and pulled out a single Anti-Matter shell.

"If you want me to blow the door," he slid the shell into the chamber and cocked the rifle, "I can."

"Do it. Here's waht going to happen. After the door blows you three cover me as i go for Warheit."

Wow! three genetic experiments in one thread. In the final battle Kanosis is not gonna be a bystander. he is going head to Freaking head with Warheit.ooc: 3? I missed someone else? lolLet's see the half-human, half-rabbit Kanosis maybe one.

Leandro needed to do something, he was soon going to hit the wall. Knocking Warheit's sword to the side, he jumped and tried to kick Warheit. Warheit was too fast, however, and he grabbed Leandro by the leg. Warheit threw Leandro threw the air (well...it's a saying) which was too smoke-filled to see through. Leandro landed hard on a desk, dropping his sword somewhere in the darkness.

"Wait..." He thought. "A desk...after that fire...."

He slammed down hard on the corner of the desk and an alarm went off. However, the door where Biggs, Kanosis, Shockey, and Garr stood behind didn't budge, for the reason that they were there. The room counted them as invaders and didn't open the door.

However, a trap door in the floor opened up...

Before he escaped, Warheit laughed. "Now I know...there's nothing to stop me...thank you...for assuring me...of what I already knew..." Picking up Leandro's sword, Warheit ran the crimson haired warrior threw the stomach with his own sword, and then hastily escaped.

Warheit shood be pretty well gone...he knows the passages under the palace...but you could chase him if you so desired

"Blow the door open now."
Kanosis had moved off to the side.

"Blow the door open now."
Kanosis had moved off to the side.

Garr nodded and followed suit.

Biggs, holding the sword in one hand, pointed the rifle at the door with the other, and launched it slowly, like a grenade. The shell impacted the door, breaking the magnetic field of the AM containment unit, and detonated with enough energy to blow the door open. Air rushed into the room while smoke poored out. Biggs stood waiting for anything.

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/jbiggs2.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2060378#2060378)

OOC: Terribly sorry, but I have to go... just don't kill me ^_^

Kanosis rushed into the room with his sword in hand. seeing the wounded man on the floor he rushed over to him. He applied pressure on the wound but it was too late.

OOC: Terribly sorry, but I have to go... just don't kill me ^_^

No...I'll probably have to get off soon as well...don't worry...

Kanosis grabbed Shcoker and pulled him away from the door.

OOC: Shcoker :lol:

IC:

High General Shockey, soaked from the sprinklers, pulled back and sprinted into the room. He found Leandro, with his own sword stuck through his midsection...

Leandro took a deep breath. It felt good to breath again, as the air cooled his burning lungs. His gift, being genetically engineered, was quickly becoming his curse as his body took longer to expire.

He almost couldn't feel the pain anymore...it was simply too bad...

Kanosis turned and saw the open trapdoor. Without hestitation he jumped down it and ran after Warhiet yelling

"WARHEIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Using his superior sense of smell Kanosis followed Warheit. The trail led him outside. He saw a tranport take off and he knew that was were warheit was. He jumped in his speeder and tried to follow the transport and almost caught up to it. It managed to get away. He headed to the embassy to retrieve hsi ship.

OOC: Make him not able to find Warheit...don't worry...he'll have his chance...I want to do one of those "1 month later:" or so deals if you know what I mean.

IC:

Garr entered the room, slowly approaching the man who had saved his life from Warheit. He felt horrible...he couldn't do anything to save Leandro's.

"It..." Leandro whispered. "It...was...Nemerov's..."

And with that, the Crimson-haired warrior breathed his last breath and expired. For the first time he could remember, Garr cried...it was all too much...

Shockey sent a commlink to the fleet. "Warheit...he's gone...I...I'll be joining Nemerov soon...but I won't be staying..."

Kanosis' ship blasted off. He reached the space alnes looking for the transport but there were too many identical ships. He couldn't find warhiet.

He slammed his fists against the his chair

"I promise you Warheit, next time you surface I will be there. I will be there to avenge the deaths of all thsoe innocent people. I will not rest until you are put 6 feet under. I promise you this."

OOC: I think 3 months will be good enough time. Prepare an re-opening post for your character then, everyone. Mine will be posted tomorrow most likely for everyone except Warheit. I doubt I'll have time tonight. I want to make it good.

And just for a message from the creator of this thread (me...lol) I'm just wishing everyone the best. This RP might get quite weird in the near future...or may not...it depends where everyone takes it.

Also, for those who decided that they couldn't keep up, now would be a great time to re-enter. Thelas, you too...sorry this happened without you man...we just were all here...and you weren't.

Oh well...this is somewhere between the 1/2 and the 3/4 point in the RP...it just depends how many more posts we need to get a good ending. Warheit won't die...I need him for future RP's...but I can't see him existing in society very well without a cop-out, cheap-assed ending...so something will have to be done with him... Good luck to everyone...and good night for tonight!

Just don't stay out too long CC, Biggs' fate is tangled in with everyone else's...it wouldn't be the same without him...

OOC: I just hope everyone's ready for a good old-fashioned plot twist...

I think I just came up with something sweet... 8)

The Talon cursed as he sat in the tavern. "I lost him... damn it, the Prince will have my head." He sighed, and drew his own blade. "I will be the one to kill him. I swear."

OOC: This thread moves damnably fast... and I was invited to take part, too.

Theallas had gotten to the room as every one left, he smiled, "Warheit, you cold be an assassin of the ages of you wanted to." Theallas turned around and walked out, intent upon seeing that Nemerov was still in once piece.

Several days later, Nemerov received a letter,

Dear Emperor Nemerov,

Recently I heard about your near death at the hands of General Warheit, you need not ask how I found out, but I did. We were allies in the past, and I hope we will be allies in the future.

Peace Through Power!
General Robert Theallas of Thelas

Theallas sat back in his office in Thelas, he had ordered Thelas Military Intelligence to keep both their eyes and ears out for any news of Warheit, and to immediately inform him of it. Unfortunately, that meant that Theallas had mounds of sightings, none of them real.

~Five Months Later~

With the wind running through his hair, and his weapon propped up on his shoulder, Garr walked down the dirt roads of CTaNbHaR Eabo4Ka, where it all began.

His leg had been fixed soon after The Attempt, as the assault on the Imperial Palace was now called. Thanks to modern medicine, it only took two days of stasis for his body to regenerate bone, muscle, and other tissue for his thigh.

Staying with the Worthen, on this planet, made him feel better. It was almost as if he felt more at home that way…

The lab was long gone, along with any records of the Celestial project. Warheit, and the reputation before him, was covered up as well, with Leandro Heroth given credit for the murders of over 300 innocent people. General Christopher Phaers, the man who took Warheit’s job of Commander of the Imperial Space Fleet and Marines, was given credit for killing Leandro, removing Warheit from the picture all together…and that’s just what Warheit wanted…himself removed himself from the picture…

Garr, a friend of Leandro’s, was deeply troubled. Nemerov had tainted Leandro’s name…when Leandro was fighting for his side. Was he on the right side?

“Of course I am,” he thought out loud as he looked over a ledge. A village near a waterfall had been rebuilt, and new Worthen families came to the area. Garr smiled. “If only it was really this way…”

Nemerov sat in his newly upgraded office, which was stripped of its artificial intelligence, and pondered his future. Warheit was still out there…somewhere…and as long as he remained alive, there was a chance that Nemerov wouldn’t be the next day.

“An Aural…”

Warheit was all Nemerov had thought of for these past five months. He had experts make all sort of assumptions on every aspect of the man, but it still didn’t make Nemerov feel any better.

“It didn’t affect him…he did all of that…naturally…”

Most disturbing of all, Warheit killed a man who was bred to kill. Leandro had been created as a super soldier, a Celestial, and he failed miserably. How? How could one man do all of this…and what would make him want to?

Shockey read reports on what Warheit did to the Worthen Villages, slaughtering children, burning homes…he saw pictures of what Warheit did to Krimm, a piss and bloody mess…and he saw first hand what Warheit did to Leandro. He would never forget the look of pain in the eyes of the crimson-haired man…and yet…Leandro had seemed so calm…

This was a battle-hardened General, who spent his whole life in the military. He was revolted with what he saw…and afraid of what was to come…

OOC: Excellent...just make sure you don't announce secret things...or thoughts or anything... 8)

OOC: Yo Steel Butterfly. As you may know, trying to read posts days after they have been posted is very difficult. I read posts 1-5 and 15-18 and sped-read the rest; it was insanely confusing, but what I basically managed to come up with was this. this evil general dude, Warheit, has gone psycho and started murdering people and burning villages. The government is covering this up for reasons unknown. <<<??? Up to three different bounty hunters are on his trail at any one time, culminating in a battle between Warheit and a bounty hunter ON the actual home-planet of the Steel Butterfly Empire thingee, right after an assassination attempt on the life of the Emperor by Warheit. But Warheit manages to escape (not sure how??? not very clear) and jacked the hobo-coat off of some bum, and will return. Cue evil laugh.

Am I right, basically? I'm very tired and bleary-eyed; correct me if I'm wrong, and tell me if I missed anything important, please, it'd be a great help. And please answer quickly, because I want to sleep very, very badly. :)

that's what the public would know...although if you read the newest threads...there is yet another coverup going on...

Page 8 is important for information too

...and I'm glad it's confusing :P

By the way...it's not even finished

ooc... Yup, I'll read page eight. And about the confusingness.. If it makes you glad, you should be in orgasmic delight right now... I'll probabley post the story tomorrow. Can't be bothered to right now. Got school... Peace out.

The Talon was angry. And he wanted answers. When he reentered the office 5 months after the first time, he was torn between bawling Nemerov out, and killing him himself. He slammed a fist into the secretary's desk. "You will let me see your master immediately."

Weeks spent in the slums of SB had not improved his mood at all. And his discomfort could be blamed on one man, and one alone. Warheit. This went beyond his orders from the prince. This was personal.

McGraw reached the palace, just as he saw everyone leaving. So he got away...

OOC: Just needed to wrap it up, didn't just want to leave it hanging.

Agent Blackfire of the Cspallan Intelligence Service scowled deeply inside his office. The small room was in Steel Butterfly's Cspallan Embassy, a ritzy building in Monarch Heights. Never had he faced such a conundrum. There had simply been no sign of Warheit since The Attempt 5 months ago. Blackfire had spent all that time trying to find him, tracking every lead. The man seemed to have vanished into thin air. Cspallan authorities had gone nuts trying to make sure he wasn't there. It was a shock back on Good Intent, normally nearly lawless, but now with tough boarder security. But still no show of the man anywhere. Oh, there had been "sightings," of course, but they all turned out to be false alarms. Cursing, he pulled out another supposed sighting, trying to see if this one was any more factual then the others. Yeah, sure it is, he thought.

o.o.c. I will post later. Don't start without me!

I need to wait a day or too, I have family comming in three days and my house is a wrek, so I have to clean the enitre thing from top to bottom, or else hear my grand-mother talking about "My kids always had their rooms cleaned, my kids..."

A man with a rabbit in his arms walked down the stairs into a stone chamber filled with assorted thugs and the like. A large fat man was sitting on a chair with a robotic bodyguard near him. The man with the rabbit started to talk

“I am replying to the bounty of 10 million credits on the head of one Fitzgerald Kanosis. I have proof of his death on this holo. However why is there such a large bounty on his head?”

“He has cost me dearly with his persistent efforts to stop smuggling and my pirates. Now let's see that holo” The fat man replied

The man with the rabbit tossed a small holo projector on the middle of the floor. An image of Kanosis came up. He stood for a second and then started talking.

“Good evening Gentlemen. If you are viewing this I assume a bounty hunter had arrived to collect a bounty over my demise. I have one thing to say about that.”

The holographic Kanosis glowed Green for a second and then turned into the man with the rabbit in his arms.

“I'm Kanosis”

The holo shut off and the man stood there with two lauzis (think laser Uzi's) in his hands. The rabbit stood nearby on the floor with a pouch of throwing knives. The man started shooting and dodging shots while the rabbit, with deadly aim started throwing knives. The rabbit ran out of knives and jumped at the man. The rabbit hit the man in the back of the head. They both glowed green for a second. Then in the place of the man and the Rabbit was Kanosis. He continued to fire the lauzis until everyone but the robot and the fat man were dead. Kanosis fired the rest of the shots from the lauzis into the robot but it did nothing

“My bodyguard can withstand even the most advanced weapons”

Kanosis drew a 9mm pistol and fired two shots at the robot. The first bullet impacted the
exterior of the robot's armor and the on contact explosive detonated creating a large enough hole for the second bullet to fly into and detonate, thereby destroying the internal circuitry of the robot. The robot fell on the floor

“It's an antique.”

Kanosis drew a remote with a single red button on it. He pressed it and then a second later a hole was blasted in each side of the room and 25 Celackian marines came rushing in.

“I never go anywhere without back-up. Arrest him.”

Theallas had been sitting in his office quietly, reading a report that had come in from the Ambassador to SATO about Thelas’ application, well, that had ended as soon as Theallas remembered that he needed to go pay a “visit” to Nemerov.

Theallas left on a diplomatic shuttle, too tired to bother taking his own fighter. As soon as Theallas arrived he went off to see if he could see Nemerov. (I assume Theallas got the palace or whatever it is) Theallas walked inside, and walked up to the front desk, “Excuse me, I am here to see Emperor Nemerov, it is a diplomatic matter.”

Garr didn't know how and he didn't know why, but his gut was telling him to return to the capitol. He hadn't been there since he left five months ago after The Attempt, and frankly, he hadn't planned on returning.

"I don't care," he told himself, slowly letting the words roll off his tounge as he choked on his lies. "It's not my problem anymore..." Garr closed his eyes and tried to ignore it all, only making the problems stand out even more.

Warheit was back, and regardless of any excuse Garr gave, he was afraid. Garr loved life...and intended on staying alive...

http://invisionfree.com:54/129/44/upload/p167.jpg

Leaving the slums was a gift in itself, but Warheit knew better. He had a job to do and...

NOOOO!

...he didn't have time to waste. The war between himself and the humans was escalating...at least in his mind and the minds of those he effected. The battle was...

LET ME GO!

...beyond good and evil.

OOC: Steel a responce to my post?

OOC: Getting there...had to make posts for each one of my characters...which everyone should read...especially the Warheit one...

Nemerov felt his pistol from under his desk.

"Let the man in..." he replied, not knowing what to expect.


And once again, the unexpected occured...luckily this time it was not life threatening. Instead of who he thought would be entering his office, a certain Theallas came in, looking worried.

Kanosis' ship apeared outside of the planet. It was the capital of steel butterfly. Warheit was going to make another attemp and he ahd to stop it. He sent a message to the embassy. He landed and grabbed the speeder and sped off to the palace.

Theallas nodded to Nemerov, "Good to see you in one piece Emporer, in case you do not remember me, my name is Robert Theallas, General, leader of Thelas, last time we met was at a GDODAD conference.

As you are wondering why I am here, I will cut to my point, I need to know any information you have as too the location of Former General Warheit."

Nemerov shuddered. Warheit?

"We have no information on him at the present time, and frankly...I don't wish to discuss the matter..."

Nemerov eyed up the man.

"A man was killed right here," he said, pointing to the area in front of his desk where Leandro was killed. "Warheit killed a man designed for killing and not being killed...a perfect soldier..." Nemerov shook his head. "It easily could have been me..."

Kanossi ran through the tunnels. He had found his way in here once before but that was almost half a year ago. he hoped his sense of direction was still good.

http://invisionfree.com:54/129/44/upload/p166.jpg

Upon reaching the Industrial Sector of Steel Butterfly, Warheit attempted to blend in, ignoring the impossibilites of doing so.

Noticing the ODIN guards, Warheit quickly hid behind a lift. He needed a...

STOP IT!

...way to get back to the capitol...back to the Imperial Palace. It was soon to be night. He could tell his body...not by the environment. The bright lights were always on, as sun could not reach even the middle section of the city-planet, Steel Butterfly.

http://invisionfree.com/forums/Orion_Sector/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=172

The lift Warheit was hiding behind began to move, and as a guard came his way, he simply held on, going...

GET OUT!

...back to where he had came from.

The Talon stormed in. "Let's get one thing straight, Your Majesty. You've been sending us on a wild goose chase. This Warheit, I've read what he's done. I did research. And you did something to him, didn't you." He spat. "That doesn't matter."

He smoothed back his hair. "Your majesty, if you want this man dead, then so be it. But, I would work better with you, than against you." He leaned forward. "I'm your only friend in this entire universe, Nemerov."

Arriving at the Steel Butterfly slums, Garr had since come to a decision. He couldn't cower away...he couldn't hide...he...he was too involved.

http://invisionfree.com:54/129/44/upload/p170.jpg

The slums reminded him of poverty, something he was very familiar with. Perhaps it was the money that led him back, perhaps it was the hunt, or perhaps it was the silver-haired man, who had more fire and suffering in his eyes and in his heart than all of the villiages combined.

Kanosis stopped and looked at the entropy scanner. Warheit was not in the palace. Kanosis turned around and started to run to his speeder.

The Talon stormed in. "Let's get one thing straight, Your Majesty. You've been sending us on a wild goose chase. This Warheit, I've read what he's done. I did research. And you did something to him, didn't you." He spat. "That doesn't matter."

Now Nemerov found himself in quite a spot. Standing in front of his desk was Theallas and the Talon. He sighed.

"We tried to do something to him...he...wasn't effected..."

Nemerov closed his eyes then shook his head. Opening them he said, "Anyone who is able can...no...should hunt Warheit. As for friends, I have as many as I need, and you sir, are not one of them."

Warheit jumped off of the lift with ease and onto a support pillar, grabbing a rail by one hand and holding onto his blade with the other. The support pillars were tens of stories high, put in place to support the barrier between the slums and the Industrial Sector. With his one arm, he pulled himself up and onto the platform, deciding what to do next.

Get out...of my...mind...!

Warheit fell to his knees and began to shake, holding his head.

Get...the fuck...out...

Garr stared up at the support pillar near the slum village he was at, and to his amazement, he saw a man holding on to the platform railing. The man quickly pulled himself up. Intrigued, Garr caught the next ascending lift to find out what was going on.

Kanosis landed his speeder in the slums and loked ath the pillar. It was huge and he had seen A white haired man on it. He decided to investigate. He ran for the nearest lift.

Garr jumped off the ledge, timing his jump better than Warheit had, and landed on the platform. There, he saw the infamous warrior crouched down, arguing outloud with himself. Garr raised his polaron rifle and aimed it at Warheit's forehead.

Kanosis shuddered on what he was going to do because the plasma rifle could swing around. He snuck up on a Garr and grabed the back of Garr's head. He pressed down on the blood vessel behind the ears. 5 seconds until he's unconsius, 10 till death. he held it for 7 seconds.

o.o.c. can I do this?

The Talon stormed in. "Let's get one thing straight, Your Majesty. You've been sending us on a wild goose chase. This Warheit, I've read what he's done. I did research. And you did something to him, didn't you." He spat. "That doesn't matter."

"You may have many friends..." The Talon said, smirking. "But how many of them are here, right now, going after him?"

OOC: Well yeah...but I don't think you can say how long you held it without a reaction from Garr...you'd think he'd try to get away or something...

IC:

After three seconds, Garr broke the death grip by smacking the man's hands with the rifle. He quickly spun away and re-aimed his rifle at Warheit, with a pistol pointed at the...rabbit...

"You bastard!" he exclaimed. "I should kill you where you stand! How could you ruin this victory? Are you that selfish for the money?"

"I..." the Emperor began, but he stopped, thinking of Leandro. Leadro was at...if not above Warheit's level...or was he? "I'm not sure."

Highest score in the training attained by any save former Master Dean Gray, 75 kills." The Talon locked eyes with Nemerov. Not a wink of humanity looked out of them. "I live for the hunt. And this is the hardest challenge I have ever faced."

Biggs had given up looking for Warheit some months ago, after searching around the Galaxy for any sign of his DNA and finding nothing. He spent his most recent weeks in the slums of Steel Butterfly... man, it was like Heaven for a bounty hunter... yet at the same time, very much like Hell.

The Jordan's AI spoke up, suddenly noticing something familiar on sensors. "Biggs, I'm picking up a familiar ODIN transponder signal... from what we know of the SB military, the ODIN armors send out identification codes to help their fellow soldiers to recognize thm so that they don't--"

"What is your point, Jordan?"

"Right sir... well it seems this transponder matches the one we picked up from Garr's ODIN."

Biggs smiled pleasantly, "Whereabouts?"

"Only 12 Kilometers West of here, slum levels."

"Sweet. Find a safe place to set down, I'm gonna take my bike."

The Jordan sat down in the middle of a junkyard about 5 kilometers west of garr's location. Biggs hopped onto his bike... what looked like your average Steampunk Chopper variant ((Cloud's bike, basically)), with an engine and suspension that made this recent purchase just about the funnest thing to ride. He wore only light armor... a Brown Kevlar flak-jacket with armored shoulder plates, over a simple black T-shirt, a baggy pair of black leather-like pants laced with a mesh of fibers of liquidmetal^2 armor, with his sword and his shotgun latched to his back, just in case.

Bigg's bike roared to life and pulled away from the bay of the Jordan., and raced down the streets of the slums to where Garr was last tracked.

"Very well. Then, I shall deliver you his heart." The Talon faded out of sight.

<<Outside>>

Two guards were talking about a recent game they had seen. Neither of them noticed a dark shadow go past them, and outside of the palace.

With a scream undescribable by any means, Warheit exorcised the evil from his mind and collapsed in a pile.

An angel materialized from the "evil" and glared at the limp body of Warheit. It then shifted it's gaze towards Kanosis and more specifically Garr. Raising his arms, the crimson-haired angel bend the gun in two without touching it.

Garr dropped the polaron rifle, which promptly exploded. He then couldn't see the angel anymore...

His left hand began to tingle, almost to the point that he couldn't feel it anymore. Warheit rose, grabbed his sword, and promply cut off Garr's hand halfway up his forearm. Taking the hand, Warheit burnt it.

Demonic sceams came from the hand, and the angel appeared again, enraged.

"You will rot, you worthless being!" the crimson-haired angel yelled at Warheit.

"Burn the heavens," Warheit reponded, slashing the angel in half. The broken body slowly fell to the platform like feathers as a small spirit ascended from it through the barrier.

Horrified at the loss of his left hand, Garr's heart began to race. "What the hell happened? Who the hell was that? What the hell did you do? What are you?"

"Quiet, for the present requires action not words..." Warheit said, jumping down off the platform. Garr looked over the edge, only to see the lift rising once more. He joined Warheit, nodding towards the rabbit. Somehow...he trusted him...but how?

Biggs noted his sensors... a major Spiritual Energy spike on a support beam about a kilometer ahead... He stopped and found a place to spy on what was going on, pulling out a pair of binoculars to look at the tower, seeing the bisected 'angel' fall to the ground.

OOC: The Talon is still going to try to kill Warhiet, regardless of mitigating circumstances.

OOC: And I would assume all minus Garr and Kanosis would still do the same. However, when the time comes that they meet, there might be more pressing matters for the Talon to take care of...as well as all the characters...

Theallas had been just standing against the wall with his eyes closed, sudenly, his eyes flew open, and glowed a white-blue, "Nemerov, Warheit does not just want your death, but the death of your empire, something I cannot allow. I must be going, I will see you later, I have no doubt"

Theallas swept off, traveling twoards the slums...

dAmmit got to catch up. I was booted freom the omp last night,

i.c. "Warheit, it's good to see you again now that you just killed and evil angel instead of us."

Kanosis started to unbutton his shirt

"I don't know why you went on that killing rampage earlier. Perhaps you can enlighten me?"

Kanosis opened his shirt and a vest with several vials was revealed

"By the way these are high grade miltary explosives and they will explode on my death. It was a precaution I took. And Garr don't even think about trying to collect the 20 million credit bounty on my head"

"I...I didn't know..." Garr said, sounding slightly disappointed.

Warheit began his story.

“There were only three Aurals left…myself and two who are still in hiding who I have yet to find. I know though…I can just tell. I always though I was different, but in my arrogance I simply believed I was a better human…not a more powerful race. In the possible future, which I traveled to, I was the evil emperor of Steel Butterfly. I eventually had to kill myself along with as many as 50 other versions of myself. It troubled me, but what troubled me more was the visions of monsters…when I returned…I did research on the various genetics programs done by the empire. With this knowledge, Nemerov couldn’t let me continue living normally…so he locked me up in the programs.”

Garr was confused. Three Aurals? Hadn't Warheit said he was the only one five months ago?

"The Celestial program was designed to make a god...not a super soldier as Nemerov believed. The scientists went behind Nemerov's back. No one had the currect DNA though, so the scientists went against orders and simply created a man...Leandro. However, it took several tries to get the god right and many mistakes died...except one. That mistake is the one you befriended...the one I killed. Thrilled at his "super soldier", the Emperor enlisted the red-haired man into the military, but the man only caused trouble, eventually becoming a criminal and being exiled."

Garr nodded. A god? "I...I still don't understand..."

Warheit pressed on with his story. "After I was captured, they tried once more to make me into a god...or at least clone me and experiment on my copies. Much to their dismay, Aurals cannot be clones, or changed. Aurals are too pure. During the experiments on me, the sucessfuly Leandro grew increasingly jealous, and lashed out. He slaughtered all the scientists as a hideous beast and then only I was in his way. When I got the upper hand, he suddenly disappeared, only to re-appear inside of me. That's what he was doing to your left hand, Garr...he was after you...I couldn't let that happen."

Garr looked down at his scabbed stump. Why did Warheit always get him?

"I saw everything," Warheit continued, with his head resting in his hands. "I saw myself doing everything...killing everyone...but I couldn't stop it. I felt so worthless...so weak. So when my chance came to go into hiding, I spent the time thinking of ways to exorcise that monster from my mind. I...I don't know how I did it...but I was gaining power...and then...you saw what happened. I fell...absolutely horrible. All those people...felled under my sword...I didn't want it to be all my fault...and now...it's become that."

"But it's the angel...Leandro," Garr argued back. "The people will learn the truth..."

"But will they listen?" Warheit asked. "And will they have a chance to with Leandro roaming the streets?"

"Leandro is back? You do know I had a speech prepared for you in case you started whining how the aurals were mistreated in their past? But anyways we must focus on the task at Hand."

Kanosis at Garr and winced.

"Sorry. Anyways with Leandro wandering the street no-one is safe. we can't warn Nemerov becuase he won't believe you. Warheit we have to get you off this planet."

The lift reached the platform quickly, and Biggs stepped off, sword drawn. All he could see at first was A bunny man (whom he quickly dismissed in his mind), Garr, sans left hand, and a positive on Warheit's DNA, but not his spirit. Confused, he just stared at Warheit, checking his scouter over and over, which just kept saying thesame thing... there was no incarnated evil spirit in the area... he had seen the "angel" leave the area, but he didn't know where it came from, until now.

He let his sword down and nodded as he came to a quick Hypothesis, "Warheit, I see the evil demon that possessed you has seperated," he laughed to himself, "Man, does this mean you get to collect your own bounty?"

He threw his sword gently onto his back, where magnetic clamps strapped it back into place.

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/jbiggs2.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2060378#2060378)

"Great another bounty hunter. How many are there? this is getting out of Hand."

Kanosis looked at Garr again and winced again

"sorry"

Biggs shrugged, "Well, the SB Empire sure wanted this guy dead... or someone with a lot of money at least... anyway, I see no fault in this man, other than he was a victim of demonic possession... I think that can be proved inte courts... we should probably take you in still, just clear your name... or would that be suicide?"

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/jbiggs2.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2060378#2060378)

"i'm saying suicide for all of us because the guards will start shooting on sight of Warheit."

"i'm saying suicide for all of us because the guards will start shooting on sight of Warheit."Biggs knew what he had to do, "Well, as I am not useful here standing amongst the gimps, I'll make my way up top and bring the case to the Capital, let them know to cancel the hits on Warheit." He pulled out a multi-purose medpack he had strapped to his back.... he knew he might need it. He tossed it to Kanosis (sp) and walked back towards the lift. he stopped before reaching the elevator, and turned to warheit, "Anything you want to tell the court?"

that's how it spelled.

i.c. Kanosis grabbed the pack out of mid air and started to apply first aid to Garr' wrist stump.

Warheit shook his head. "It would be worthless...Nemerov's hatred of me goes beyond recent events..."

http://invisionfree.com:54/129/44/upload/p167.jpg

He stood up and walked towards the edge of the ascending lift. Looking up, he noticed that they were getting closer and closer to the Industrial Sector.

OOC: How'd he get there? They're on a lift...the pic on on the previous page

OOC: I was confused, not sure how I got there, I thought they were just on a support beam, but somehow I'm on the lift as well now :mrgreen:

IC:

"So what do you suppose we do?"

OOC:

"Quiet, for the present requires action not words..." Warheit said, jumping down off the platform. Garr looked over the edge, only to see the lift rising once more. He joined Warheit, nodding towards the rabbit. Somehow...he trusted him...but how?


IC:

"Why not go after Leandro," Garr replied. "Surely he cannot overcome all of us..."

The Talon sat down against the wall. He fumbled through his pouches and withdrew a small liquid. Closing his eyes, he quaffed it. Immediately, his mentat-trained mind began to search out paths of fates and futures. [i]I must make a projection...[/quote]

He could see Warheit walking down an alley, Warheit climbing a staircase... but 5 paths showed him riding a lift.

"Why not go after Leandro," Garr replied. "Surely he cannot overcome all of us..."

"Hmph...if you're willing to make that sacrifice..." Warheit responded. His headache was going away, and he was beginning to feel normal once more.

The Talon began to follow those paths, until he was positive of Warheit's location. Projection made...

He stood up, and began to idly walk towards Warheit's location.

Kanosis' ears pricked up with the sound of footsteps behind them. He grabbed one of his lauzies and pointed it at the person sneaking up on them.

OOC: We're still on the lift... in a city... you would hear all sorts of footsteps...

o.o.c some getting neaer to us? soft footspets like someone was sneaking aroud? Kanosis is kinda paranoid at the moment.

Kanosis' ears pricked up with the sound of footsteps behind them. He grabbed one of his lauzies and pointed it at the person sneaking up on them.

The Talon watched, amused. He can hear me... but not see me. I think I'll open fire... soon.

o.o.c some getting neaer to us? soft footspets like someone was sneaking aroud? Kanosis is kinda paranoid at the moment.

OOC: Well...since we're on the lift (I'll post us getting off soon) we'd actually be getting closer to the footsteps...as we ascend to the industrial sector of the city-planet.

Theallas ran, and ran even faster, he had felt Warheits energy, or what he assumed was Warhiet. As Theallas ran he saw something he never thought he would see, Warheit, calm, cool, talking to that Garr guy, what the hell is Warheit doing? Theallas paused for a moment to see where that lift was going, then he ran like Morgoth himself was behind him, jumping from steel support beams, to a lift that was running to the same level as the lift that Warheit was on.

OOC: LOL OK, everyone is acting like we're already at our destination, so lets just skip ahead to that :P

The Lift

The lift stopped smoothly and dimmed it's lights. Warheit, Garr, Kanosis, and Biggs stepped off, eyeing the industrial sector around them. Quite busy, they were easily ignored by the general population as they made their way from the lift. It was the soldiers and the bounty hunters that they had to look out for...

Industrial Sector

The Talon walked up the maintenance stairs, and outside. He concentrated, seeking Warheit's energy signature. Eyes opening, he turned and began to ran towards the lift. I think I have him...

Warheit sensed it. Someone was here...someone was after him...after them...

Garr looked at the silver-haired man who he had hated for so long. Indeed, he was different. Garr fingered his handgun, still pissed about the demise of his polaron rifle.

The Talon stopped. And for the first time, saw his prey. Warheit... yes... this shall be amusing. Let the hunt... begin.

The lift Theallas was on stopped, and he stepped off. Looking ar Garr, Warheit, Kanosis, and Biggs, he started to run, pushing asside the people who got in his way, I hope I can catch them. Finally, Theallas caught up with Warheit and his party, he ran past them, whipping around after he past them.

Garr pulled up his weapon, but tensed as he recognized the man: Theallas... He remembered well their meeting at the Worthen Village.

Warheit grabbed onto the handle of his sword but was generally distracted as he continued to search his emotions for the man who was tracking them.

The Talon walked towards them. A feeling of tainted humanity came from him, of a machine for killing. His lip curled. "Well, well, well. Warheit. We meet, for the first time. For the last time."

Faster than even Warheit could see, The Talon flicked a set of throwing knives at them. "I am the Talon of The Prince. And your emperor has told me to kill you."

Focused once again, Warheit smiled his now infamous evil grin, much to the dismay of a horrified Garr. Garr new that look.

"Please do so then," Warheit told the Talon. "If you feel as though you can."

The daggers flew unerringly towards Warheit. Behind them, the Talon moved forward, drawing his pistol.

Garr ducked and fired two rounds at the mysterious man.

Time appeared to slow as the daggers moved towards the silver-haired Aural.

The Aurals were generally feared, for they had the distinct ability to manipulate nature. The elements were all under the Aural's command it seemed.

Warheit let the daggers close in one him, instead concentrating on the Talon, who he saw draw a weapon with his now superior eyesight. Almost effortlessly, Warheit drew his long blade and deflected the daggers in one slash, effectively slicing each in two.

EDIT: Bad Grammar :wink:

Biggs stepped back... He could see all the action as it happened with his enhanced vision, but still... come on, the guy was throwing knives. Judging by the look on Warheit's face, he should only step back and wacth, so he does.

The bullets were sidestepped. The Talon fired his own at Warheit. He continued to move forward, firing again and again until the bullets were spent. Then he drew his own blade, and waited.

Intense, Warheit showed the bullets the same fate as the daggers, deflecting the last one back towards the Talon. He awaited the arrival of the man.

OOC: You want a swordfight? It wouldn't have to be finished, for both of our character's sake.

OOC: I think we should all post our characters supernatural abilities, just so nothing pops up as Godmoddy...

My Character can see whatever his scouter can see, it feeds directly into his brain. This also means he can see at enhanced rate, and track high speed objects. His immune system is so super-enhanced that wounds don't hurt, blood clots almost instantly, and disease never has a chance. He has a greatly improved reaction time, but nonetheless I don't think he would have too much luck at deflecting bullets with his sword, but he would certainly have an increased chance.

Garr saw the blur before his eyes and shut them while despritely trying to move his body, hoping for the best.

Warheit saw the man, weapon drawn, move quickly towards Garr. Ten ODIN troops, at the command of their officer, stepped in front of Garr, protecting him. Someone must have called them...

Warheit shook his head. After they were done protecting Garr, they would come for him...

The Talon backed away and vanished from the crowd. His parting shot was, "Warheit. You will come to me."

OOC: I think we should all post our characters supernatural abilities, just so nothing pops up as Godmoddy...


OOC: Agreed...although...

Warheit is an Aural, an omnipotent, "godmoddy" race of human-lookalikes who did enhabit Steel Butterfly many years ago. They have the power to manipulate the "elements" (ie. Time, Fire, Water, Wind, etc.) but Warheit only knows limited ways of doing that. However, Aurals are also supreme warriors who are very fast, accurate, and deadly. They live rediculously long lives as well, lasting for centuries if not killed. This, along with the fact that I want to use him in other RPs, is the reason that Warheit cannot die.

o.o.c fuck! If I ahd control of Kanosis Thelas would have been long dead by either lasers blast or sword slash.

i.c. Kanosis stood in shok. The entire fight had prgressed and he was powerless of doing anything. he was rooted to the spot. why? He saw the troops surronding Garr and decided to make a gamble. He turned to the officer

"Ah good our escort has arrived. Thank you for your aid in transporting this vital part of capturing Warheit. His clone."

Relieved that the man (talon) had left, the officer turned to the rabbit-man. "I wasn't informed of a clone...please...come with me."

Warheit was cuffed and brought along. Garr and the rest followed.

o.o.c My Character can hear and smell well beyond any human range. He has increased eye sight. he has spent a good number of years studying sword fighting so he could possibly deflect bullets. He has amazing reflexes. as a by-product of his genetic conditioning he has an I.Q. estimated in the 200's. He can jump over 20 feet in the air.

"then you are not our escort. I believe I have said too much. Release him immediatly and we will be one our way."

The Talon returned to the undercity, finding an informer. He grabbed the pathetic man. "I wish to know if Warheit has any living family."

OOC: Damn. Any former girlfriends? An orphanage he visited? Friends?

IC: "I need something to lure him out of hiding. Aiding me would be aiding your Emperor."

OOC: A few other things I forgot to note... he basically has a hard-drive type backup memory, and can recall anything he wants like a computer. His ability to solve problems and recall information is beyond any means of calculating by an IQ...

Another physical enhancement I forgot to mention is that his muscles are nearly perfect... although he hides it under his baggy clothing, he has a perfect muscular system, balanced with nanite-managed body fat. He doesn't even have to work out, because muscles are torn and rebuilt stronger by the nanites in his bloodtream... they basically act as super construction workers, fixing everything, coordinating everything, and doing everything a lot better than a normal human immune/circulatory system can do.

"Sir i insist, as ambassador of Celack, that you hand over the Celackian property which we are using to catch Warheit. this is a joint steel butterfly-celack operation but that does not mean you can steal our tools. Now release him before we have an international incident."

The officer looked at his soldiers, then unwillingly uncuffed Warheit.

"Here, have you clone back...just no more scenes like this one!"

"Gladly sir. come along now. We must set the trap."

Kanosis walked off down the lane with Warheit.

OOC: Damn. Any former girlfriends? An orphanage he visited? Friends?

o.o.c Kanosis could loosely be considered one. Also remember the girl he slept with on the time ship? I'll find the post and bring it up.

"Gladly sir. come along now. We must set the trap."

Kanosis walked off down the lane with Warheit.

"What exactly do you hope to accomplish?" Garr asked Kanosis. "That was a clever way to get us free, but soon the Emperor will be informed, and they'll know we're here...and that we're working with him..."

"by that time we will be off planet and the embassy will deny ever having knowledge that I landed on the planet. Recordsshow that I am currently involved in a fleet peration 300 light years from here."

"No," Warheit stated. Kanosis and Garr both turned at stared at the serious look on his face.

"I'm not leaving Leandro here...I still have a duty to this place..."
