Schwa
Posts: 247/2214 |
Schwa stands alone, looking at the sunset, for a very long time. Silence. Schwa seems to like solitude. Then, very quietly, he speaks to himself. "Yiusi. You were a great friend. Thank you." Schwa then walks back toward the city, which is repaired by now. "Why did Dracoon not want me to call him again? Oh well. I've learned a lot from this day." Schwa takes a long look at the ruins. "Yorra, I bet you'll be a great ruler for those Buster Beetles. My new goal is to decide which creature I'm going to raise next. Maybe I'll find someone who's as unique as Yorra. Actually, no. No one is that special. Oh well. I gotta go to Crystal Psipalace and rest up. Tomorrow's a big day... gotta figure out which creature to raise next..." Soon, Schwa is seen riding into the sky on his mysterious crystal disc.
The next morning, Schwa springs awake. "Yes! I still have to challenge Dracoonx4 to a one-on-one battle! He said he'd like to. I better get busy training so I can beat him! Sensae!" Schwa begins training like crazy that day, figuring out new moves and sharpening old ones.
What will happen in Schwa's future? Only time will tell. THE END |

"..., I think I am going to leave now, and if you get into trouble again don't call me. Sad about Yuisi though, and for Lunari. She has wanted to get rid of that thing for a long time. Oh next time please make sure you don't have a really unique thing on your farm."
Dracoonx4 shoots his gun which opens a portal and starts to walk through it.
"I still think Yuisi will come back because the buster beetles aren't truely united. See you later." |

"You don't understand," Yiusi explains. "The reason I'm leaving is because Yorra has fulfilled his destiny. When The Oracle created me, she gave me one purpose and that was to help Yorra. Now that the Buster Beetles are united, my work is done, forever. Thank you all for supporting me... now I must go. Goodbye!"
Yiusi starts to glow brighter, and brighter... soon, her form is surrounded by a white orb of energy. Then it dissolves, and a figure falls from it and crumples to the ground. It's Schwa. Slowly Schwa opens his eyes, and looks around.
"I'm back. Wow. That was a truly unforgettable experience. Dracoon, where's APH? And what's this metal thing on the ground? ...And is Yiusi gone forever? Oh golly, I'm getting too worked up. I'm just glad to be back in the material plane. Yeah, the Etheral Dimmension is nice, but reality is nicer, isn't it?" Schwa gets up, then remember's something. "That city... Do you think we should go there to wish Yorra goodbye? Wait-- wasn't Yorra here a moment ago? He's probably already back there. I think we shouldn't disturb him, eh? I mean, he just fulfilled a destiny that took him over 900 years to do. Wait a second!" Schwa remembers something else. "This means I can't train Buster Beetles anymore! Maybe I'll find something else to train. Pansers, or Ninjis... Maybe I'll go to Hyrule and purchase some Peahats or Octoroks... Hey Dracoon, what's on your mind? Do you think it's a bad idea or something?" |

Dracoonx4 turned around and in a whisper spoke to Yuisi.
"Hey I hope you know that you don't have to leave this plane of exsistance entirely. I know a place where there has been a body without a soul for a long time. Don't think it was something bad that happened or something cruel. I can only tell you more if you want to."
Dracoonx4 whatched the last of the buster beetles fade into the distance and was sure that they wouldn't come back.
"Hey Schwa you should be more careful next time you become great at something." |

"Ummmmm.......thanks?" APH says hopefully. "For fulfilling your destiny? So that nothing bad will happen to the Buster Beetles?" APH doesn't know what to say. "No offense, but I think that I'll be going somewhere else instead of watching you disintegrate." APH takes a vial and holds it in his hands. He begins quoting a verse of something, and the vial starts glowing. Suddenly, he sops and throws it in the air. It turns into a portal. He says, "G'bye everyone. See you soon, Schwa." before he goes, he puts a tracker from his jacket onto the floor. "I always want to see what is going on in this place." With that, he waves goodbye and steps into the portal, which vanishes when he steps through.
OOC: At the beggining of the story, Schwa, you said that you had Yorra in a farm and was raising him. I still don't get that. |

30 seconds later, Yorra and Yiusi appear out of the portal and run to Dracoon. Yiusi approaches Dracoon slowly and askes quietly, "You don't want to say goodbye?"
There is a long silence, then Yorra explains. "Yiusi's work is done. She is about to fade out of existance. Then Schwa will be back in the material plane. First, she wanted to say goodbye and to thank you both." Yiusi walks forward and embraces Dracoon with a mighty hug. "Thank you, Dracoon, for all your help. And thank you for trusting me in the end. I know you didn't believe I was trying to help at first..." Yiusi then walks to APH. "...You either, APH. But I thank you too for accepting that I borrowed Schwa for a while. In a moment I'll be gone. Forever. Then you'll have Schwa back. Anything else you'd like to say to me first?" |

"Sorry Schwa, I can't leave knowing that something could happen. You shold be more careful."
Dracoonx4 started walking farther toward the other buster beetles. He gets as close as he can then lays on the ground trying to hear if they are planning anything. |

OOC If I'm not mistaken, you're teleporting to where Dracoon is, right?
Suddenly, APH appears close to Dracoon. There's still a rainbow portal close by, and there's still the mystery of Yiusi-- what is all this about her disappearing? APH and Dracoon get another message.
"C'mon, guys, hurry up! Yiusi will be gone in a while!" |

APH is dumbfounded. He cannot find anyone anywhere. He tries to contact Schwa by throwing a vial on the ground, producing a tracking map. He sees 3 blips on one side and 2 blips on another. Suddenly, one of the 2 blips disappears and appears next to the other 3 blips! "Hmmm....either teleportation or portals are being involved. I wish I could use telepathy and find Schwa THAT way." Suddenly, he has an inspiration. He takes another vial and throws it on the ground, creating a teleporter. He steps in it and prepares to reach the place where the one lone blip is.
OOC: sorry I haven't told about this earlier, but APH striker's teleporting works with telepathy; before he steps into it, he thinks of the place that he wants to go, and it takes him there. |

"Dracoon, we're all gone in different directions. Every direction. They're not all hiding somewhere for an attack... they can't be. Besides, now that Yorra has essentially settled the conflict by offering the beetles a paradise, all they wish to do now is live alone where nobody can find them. I think you should--"
Suddenly, the Beetle stops talking and both Dracoon and the Beetle get a telepathic message. It's Schwa.
"Dracoon, and Buster Beetle! Hurry up! I had Yiusi open another portal behind you. You should be present while Yiusi disappears. At least say bye to her!" Sure enough, another rainbow portal is open behind Dracoon. The Beetle starts heading toward it. "What he said makes sense. It's also fair. Yiusi will die soon, say goodbye to her." |

There is a stirring.
Suddenly, APH striker gets up and moans. He has lost his "dead" look. "Wow....what happened?" He looks around and doesn't see anybody. "Oh yeah...I was in some Buster Beetle city with Dracoonx4 and Schwa. What a weird dream I had....oh well! Nevertheless, I must find everybody." APH begins walking around. |

"I should be, but I have a feeling that some of the buster beetles are going to come back for another attack. I know how stratigies work, but I doubt this is over. If you are strong enough you can go through the ruins."
Dracoonx4 keeps going hopefully to find out if there is any plan or not. |

The Buster Beetles are already gone over the horizon. But sudenly, a single Beetle starts running toward Dracoon. He reaches Dracoon, panting, and looks up at him.
"I changed my mind. Where's the portal?" The Beetle looks around and sees the portal closing nearby. He runs to it but it's too late by the time he gets there; the portal is gone.
"No..." moans the Beetle emotionally. "I'll never make it to paradise... Hey, Dracoon, why are you still here? Aren't you, like, supposed to meet Yiusi at the city to get Schwa's body back, or something?" |

"You think that fulfilling means only about half of what should have happened? I am following them, I have a bad feeling about something."
Dracoonx4 follows where the main group went silently and making sure no one can hear him. |

The Beetle explodes with rage. "SEE? You hate me! Everyone hates us! It's Yorra's fault! I want him killed! Please... kill him! Please let him die! Then let me die! Any way possible!!!" The beetle starts making this terrible grinding, shaky noise. It's their way of crying. But then, some of the beetles step closer to Yorra.
"We'll go with you. You can't take all of us, because nobody can foce another to a decision. But I'll go, at least." Some of the beetles, about a little less than half, nod in agreement. With that, they exit through the portal. All the others start walking away, all in different directions.
"Where will you go?" askes Yiusi, curiously. One of the beetles turns around and answers, "Somewhere where nobody can find us. Look, your city seems perfect, but I don't believe we'll ever be happy there. Goodbye." With that, they exit into the horizon.
Yorra sighs. "Looks like I fulfilled my destiny as good as it'll get. Let's go meet them at the city." Yorra and Yiusi exit through the portal. |

"Then think of this. If you decide to hurt Yorra or anyone else you will have to get past me first, and I don't think that is going to happen."
Dracoonx4 lands in front of Yorra and Yiusi no weapons drawn, but clearly ready. |

"Who we blame is none of your buisness," the Beetle replies. "Yorra, we will never accept you until we're sure the citizens of this planet accept us."
Yiusi jumps off the top of the ruins and lands next to Yorra. "Buster Beetle friends, if you're upset at humans for their ridicule towards you, why don't you come with Yorra to the ruins city? There you can start a new, peaceful life. The city is a paradise. Take a look." Yiusi opens a portal with the image of that beautiful city under the ruins. The Buster Beetles look at the image for a long time. Finally, one of them says, "It seems too perfect. It's not possible. There's no way out of this tortured life as it is. Or at least that's what I believe." It looks at the others for agreement, and most of them agree. Some of them are still silent. |

"I doubt that is true. Sorry to tell you, but from what I know people have always been intimedated by you. It was bound to happen that they would get a good reason, but still you are blamming someone because of how they were born."
Dracoonx4 lets his energy sword fall back and waits for their reply. |

"STOP!!!" Yorra screams, roaring like a dragon. "Why do you all wish to have me killed?"
The Buster Beetles stop fighting. One walks forward and speaks in a reptile-like voice. "Yorra, you know why. YOU are the reason we're condemned by all living things!"
Yorra stops right in his tracks, surprised. "Explain."
The Beetle responds. "Ever since people saw you, they've been scared or upset at us for existing. You freaked them out! Because you're so intimidating! So, since people think you're scary, they naturally think we are the same way. In fact, humans and others never showed us any prejudice until about 900 years ago. When you were born, if I'm not mistaken. Right?" The other beetles agree. Yorra is shocked at this. Despairing, he looks to Dracoon in hopes of a wise reply. |

Dracoonx4 jumps into action changing his gun to rapid fire mode. He jumps above all the buster beetles and right over Yorra, then he shoots his gun down, but it seems to be hitting everywhere around Yorra. As Dracoonx4 falls he brings out his energy blade and starts attacking any buster beetle left standing, but they counter attack and he has to do dodging then attacking.
"..."
Dracoonx4 remains silent as he fights for his and Yorra's life. |
