HundredEarths Game (CLOSED)

[Stormymystic]

but...how do we know we can trust you?

[/)eathKiller]

The party felt mutually about this as it was their only lead.. and this diviner's abilities certainly seemed proven based on his knowledge of things which he shouldn't have known.

Day broke and the party proceeded direclty east toward the named direction. Thanks to the nano mage a path off the plateu was constructed and they made their way as directed without much but rolling planes of grass in their way. Night drew close and they established a steakout of what appeard to be a large deserted boat landing dock... they didn't have to wait long as a large vessel armed with many cannons sailed into the port, and brushed against the dock. Planks were lowered men which appeard to be pirates began to leave the vessel. The noises of men shouting at eachother in strange tounges with the occasional "arrr" resounded from the distance. It looked like they were celebrating some kind of looting and plundering...

(OOC: Ok freestyle whatever you want up tot he point where you sail to the island, you guys get to make up everything that happens, I need to go to the hurricaine shelter ^^ Whatever you do make sure its nicley violent lol, have fun freestyle fighting)

(OOC: Oh yeah, and Bozos, you need to decide whether Kaerban wants ultimate power or not)

[Bozos of Bones]

OOC: I got ot, wasn't here. Replying now...
IC: "Yes!" he blurted out almost immidiately when the voice stopped. Money is a means to be powerfull, to have access to powerfull equipment and information. Money in the end equated power, the only real thing on the top of Kaerban's list of priorities. He then realised he sounded too eager, too easy, so toned down a bit "I want you to give me power, for exchange of the favor I am bout to perform for you. You now have an open gate at my mind." Kaerban, experienced in the process of mind entrance, cleared his thoughts and envisioned a white infinity. He was ready to embrace the owner of the voice into his mind.

Suddenly Kaerban was rocked backward into his chair and he felt the pain of large sharp needles inserting themselves into his spine. Suddenly his entire body began to shake and he screamed in agony as tiny robotic drills ran around his nervous systme and he started to feel the very blood in his body stop flowing, something was moving inside of him, growing, in every vein, in every limb, it coursed throughout so much that he was unable to even scream the pain was so intense... it grasped his heart and his lungs and all at once his eyes burst from their sockets... he lay still... very still... and almost instantly the pain washed away... all feeling washed away... he began to feel a heavy armor being planted onto his chest, his legs, his arms, and then a helmet was placed over his head. After several more sounds of gears tightening all of his restraints were released, the chair seemed to completley dissapear for some reason, and the next thing he knew, he was freefalling.

he felt as if his eyes were closed... and he opened them revealing what looked like a pair of monitors held closely to his head... But as he shook his head he realized that what he was seeing was being routed directly to his brain... He moved his body and stood up... a voice echoed inside his head...

"You are now inside of the combat armor prototype... it is more advanced than the armor which has been melded to the body of Masakari Kai. I, being the all knowing maintainer of this universe have apointed you, Teifling, to be my avatar. Your duty is simple to put into words but it is diffult to manage... Destroy the most elite member of InterDim Poletzai... I want you end the life of Masakari Kai. Do this and I will give you more money than your wildest dreams... and the position once held by Masakari... go my avatar... You can sense him even now, can you not? In your armor you have gained the ability to fold the space time dimension drive around you... you can destroy him! I am counting on you.

--------Meanwhile------- (This is just for interesting reading but you cant let it effect your charicters' actions)

"Sir we have a security breech!"
"Tell the forces to take their time, we don't want to cause a panic"
The silouetted cheif of interdim poletzai rested in his chair and lit up a new cigar...

a lylock rebel darted about while being shot at by 20 armed guards outside of the interdim poletzai HQ. He suddenly dissapeared and with a sonic boom reapaeard at the doorstep.

-----Radio chatter:

"He's too fast we can't even tag this bastard!"

"We can't stop him we can't stop him!"

*gunfire sounds*
-----

"Don't worry... Let him come here and make his case...

-----Radio chatter:

"We've got him on level 3... no... 8... what the hell... he's-"

"Monitor room what is your status? I just felt a shockwa-AAAAH!"

*silence and static*
-----

The doors to the president's room burst open.

A man in a lylock rebel uniform stood in the doorway panting heavily, his hands and shirt stained with blood...

"What the hell are you here for? Did you come to kill me?"

"That's *pant* a *pant* negative..."

the man fell on the floor, and with his last ounce of strenghte threw a small peice of paper at the president with some holes punched in it.

"Holy hive mind... he's dead..." a nearby guard reported.

The president picked up the peice of paper.

"Sir i advise againt inserting that in any machine, it could be an explosive command, or a virus of some kind..."

"Men don't give their lives for a cause like they do in the poletzai over at the lylock organization... if he came with this it was for anything but to die for... and if it was worth dying for then it is something beyond imperative..."

"That kind of assumption is..."

"Do not question my orders! I am the director of this organization and I will make whatever call is necessary!"

He slid the paper into a machine and the punch card holes were read, displaying a video message:

"Carl... I know we've had our differinces over these last few centuries... but... there's something very important that I think you need to see, it's a signal that came through our temporal portal, from both of us... and I think you need to see it..."

the image of the director of the Lylock organization dissapeared and in its place appeared an image of him and "carl" standing infront of a recording console. Behind them was the skyline of a hundredearths city... in flames... With explosions continuing to go off in the distance... it continued to faze in and out...

:"This... is a message... to the heads of Interdim- litzai ... and Lylo- ... Hive- is - losing - power is not - up very well - Shinokorosha - Cannot die - imperative - his skill - phage... - repeat... Rapture - is going to con- all! You must - Mind at - costs! Masa- Kai is - danger!! ... DO NOT ... LET TODAY'S... MERCENAR-"

and the signal went dead.

The image then flipped back to the head of the Lylocks organization.

"As you can see... Masakari Kai is in danger and needs to return here at once, he also must not eliminate the target named in a low-class mercenary mission... we have reason to believe that Shinokorosha is involved, and he is weak, and in danger... We don't know what his purpose is, but we have already dispatched a lylock member, a fine girl whom I have the greatest trust... she will try to prevent the assasination mission... she's already contacted 2 of your men and some mercs, from what our sources say... Can you give any orders to them?"

"Not at the moment, they've left the target destination and they're traveling to some unknown location on the world... only the mercenaries guild can pinpoint their-"

"My god... we might already be too late..."

"What should we do??"

"All we can do now, is pray... to the real God..."

BXR 64

The android watched the craft for several seconds before turning towards the others.


"If we can get to the control room I could use the ship's own weapons against the pirates. Let's go."

With that the android charged in to the ship and with his heavy metallic hand hit the first pirate he encountered in the neck, tearing his head off with much blood and gore. He then looked back to see whether the others were following him.

---Meanwhile back on hundred Earths---

An alarm began to buzz... you dreerily opened your eyes and find an alert message displayed on the holovid monitor. You jerk upwards in your bed and nearly hit your head ont he low ceiling, you shift yourself over to the monitor and try to get it to respond, but all you see is "report immediatley". There are no mission details or even a persons face mentioned in the message. This sort of thing is incredibly suspicious and it has never occured before. You decide to go to the interdimensional poletzai Headquarters to see what's up. You quickly suit up and head out the door, jumping on a platform you command it to go to the Poletzai HQ. You are flown there rappidly in a slightly disorienting mmanner. The transport pad quickly docks and you jump off, you begin running for the doros and you stop, you find bodies of police guards scattered all over the place with bullet holes embedded in the walls... this only makes you want to get inside faster, you start to run toward the doors and scanners run over you and open the doors quickly. You start running into the main hallway and toward the stairs, but then you notice the turbo lifts have come down quickly for you. You jump onto the lift and are quickly transported upwards, with a bell dinging sound the doors shoot open and you jump out expecting to have to run somehwere else, when suddenly you realize your'e in the president's office.

You stop dead in your tracks as the president's silouette aproaches you, menacingly while puffing a cigar.

"Hikari... what I am about to tell you can not leave this room under any circumstances... The Poletzai and Lylocks have joined forces once again, and you are going to be placed onto the most top secret of missions. We are not fully up to par with the details, but we know it somehow involves the hive mind, Shinokorosha, Masakari Kai, a recent mercenaries guild mission which has been handed out to an asortment of mercenaries with promises of high rewards, and basically the entire stability and fabric of the hundred Earths. Our nano cams also picked up the fried hull of what appears to be Rapture Phage technology... I cannot stress the relevance of everything that is going on right now, but we cannot stand idly by and not become involved ourselves... I would like you to meet someone..."

Two holovid monitors pop up...
"This is Tatsuko... A plan cutter. Tatsuko is able to planeshift between dimensions without equiptment and can also manipulate soul cells. In all essence, Tatsuko is a follower of an occult of individuals who believe that Shinokorosha is the savior of all knowledge... well it also just so happens that she works for the Lylocks... Now my normal instincts would say to never go along with a Lylock mission but we must do this, as parners. You are an ancient specialist and the world where all this madness is going on is one where they are still living in the dark ages. Your skills along with Tatsuko's abilities make you the perfect combination for this mission. I'll let the president of the Lylock organization continue the breifing..."

The second monitor with the Lylock's leader on it grew a little larger.

"Tatsuko has already been breifed and she is ready to take you at once..." The other monitor cutt off and with a slight breeze you turn to see the face of the person who was once on the monitor now in the same room with you. Both you and the president jump. Her appearance almost mimicks Shinokorosha's but she is an aasimar and not a Vacuum Genasi. The same grey shade of skin is prominant though along with the unusally colored eyes of someone who has embedded a soul cell in their own body.

The Lylock leader continued, "We lost contact with the party of mercenaries and one of my own workers aproximatley 2 hours ago when they traveled outside of the boundaries of our nano scanners. Some of our hackers managed to tap into the Mecernarie's guild gateway transport traffic, and it's been insaine! They don't seem to stop teleporting mercenaries around the multiverse, and from what we can tell, this particular dimension has almost 20 people sent to it! We also have reports of TWO individual quantum singularities present. This isn't possible, though, because only Masakari Kai is able to give off a singularity of this magnitude... if our reports are correct... Then there are TWO masakari kais in this world! We don't know what else to make of this data. We want you to investigate this data using a special device which can track singularities similar to Kais... I also want Tatsuko to help you find any Soul Cell signatures on the planet. Where there are Soul Cells there is always Shinokorosha... If he is on this world too, which is what we suspect... (Why else could kai be there?) Then he needs to be protected from the mercenaries at all costs... I have already given these orders to my lylock leutenant... I was such a fool... I followed the mission regs but didn't bother to read the fine print... She's there to SAVE Shinokorosha while every other Merc and Masakari kai are there to destroy him!! You need to find the party and tell them what I've told you! We have no leads as to where they've gone... They may already be dead...

Please conduct a thoreough investigation, and for the love of GOD, keep in contact at all times..."

The two warriors nodded and then the plane cutter waved her hand through the air... at once the air began to vibrate unusually and a small cut opened up, it then turned into a rip in the air which appeared to be filled with static like a TV with no signal. The static surrounds you and the the plane cutter, suddenly you feel like you are moving at an incredible speed, and everything goes black. In a few seconds you suddenly feel a jerk and a stop. You are now standing on a coblestone street in a city, you look infront of you and see the wreckage of a rapturephage mech. This sight disturbs both of the dimensional travelers greatly... Suddenly a man wearing a staw hat walks by, he turns toward you with a gland and says "They went east... across the sea... to and island... go there... now!"

The man turned and ran as quickly as his legs could fly, made a turn while running across the wreckage and jumped into an alley.

Do you listen to what he said or try and pursuit him?

[Morgeruat]

Ekans

The bot had gone in full bore tearing apart the pirates to violently take the ship they were using, and Ekans had to smile as he considered what would happen if two of the most ancient of enemies fought, pirates vs ninjas.

Calling to the nano-bots Ekans willed trhem to rise into the air, and fan the air currents. Within seconds gale force winds were buffetting the craft, hurling pirates upward and overboard, and threatening to overturn the ship.

[Skydracgrrl]

Tatsuko raised an eyebrow at the strange man's message and sudden disappearance, and decided to question him further.

"Wait here," she ordered her new partner... Hikari, if she remembered the name correctly. She would learn more about this Poletzai later, but time was of the essence at the moment.

Leaving Hikari with a very confused expression, the lithe aasimar chased after the man and quickly caught up to him, despite her short legs.

"Halt! I request more information from you!" she ordered sternly in a no-nonsense tone.
