The Peacekeepers of the Universe, the DiEn, keep records of every single mission performed by a DiEn member throughout history. Normally, these records are public domain to those who can acess them. However, for several millenia, there was one mission that was kept classified due to the extremely sensitive material involved.

The files have recently been released for the first time. The following is an account of the enclosed events.


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

DiEn agents Jarukoth, Leann Caldwell, and Shino Shadefoot have been summoned to the DiEn headquarters in Purgatory, to discuss a situation. They are currently situated in briefing room 11, waiting...

Leann: "Did anyone hear what this is about?"

Jarukoth: "Hey, I'm a warrior, not an Intel guy."

Shino: "Well, I....nah."

Jarukoth: "Mmm? What?"

Shino: "Well, I've been hearing that a lot more D-Leaks (Dimensional Leaks) have been occurring. It's just a rumor, though, as far as I know."

A DiEn officer rushes into the room, throws a packet of information, and quickly runs out. The three look at the packet, confused.

Leann: ...Ok, I'll open it...

Leann opens the packet, and quickly reads the memo. It's unusually short for something of such a supposedly large priority. The memo reads as follows/i]

----------------
Attention DiEn Agents #02466, #46992, and #10985 (Team #183):

"Severe leak in dimensional barrier. Gates are opening in all the realities, bringing all sorts of beings into other worlds. Most agents will be dispatched into various worlds to enforce what they can."

"Your team will be dispatched to gather information and intel. Current reports suggest that a certain being may be causing these sudden events. Each member will be sent to different worlds, and will carry out thier mission from there. Good Luck to All."

P.S.: "Citizens of the various worlds will no doubt be feeling the effects, and be encountering characters not from thier worlds. Handle these situations with great care."
----------------

Jarukoth: "Ok, let's get to work..."

----
[OOC: The idea of this story is Kingdom Hearts in nature. Different alternate realities are leaking into other ones. (Check my Bio for examples. That kind of thing is happening, but on a much bigger scale.) You'll understand the concept more as the story goes on...

To introduce your character, you can either have him stumble into purgatory and meet the party, or you can encounter strange events in your world, and the party will find you in your world.]

Jarukoth: "Hmm. That must be one of the gates now..."

The group sees a girl and a wyvern fall through the hole, and land in front of them.

Shino: "It's a girl..."

Jarukoth: "Good to see your'e not blind behind those glasses..."

Shino just shrugs. Leann runs over to help her up.

Leann: "Hi. I'm Leann. What's your name?", she asks warmly.

[It's been a while since I've been involved in a story, but I can't wait to get back into it .]

Clad fully in heavy steel armor, a green-eyed man strolled along a serene wooded path. A chain coif covered his head, but the odd lock of chestnut hair fell to his forehead and was tossed about by a refreshing northeasterly zephyr. Bouncing against his pack was an unnoteworthy helm. From his leather belt hung several closed pouches, and a naked steel shortsword was at his left hip.

This armored fellow carried an imposing halberd in his right hand. He used it as a walking stick.

Sighing contentedly, the fighter quietly reveled in the sylvan paradise. He had a special affinity for the pristine wilds surrounding his residence, and he made frequent excursions along the now well-worn path. Still, he was not so naive as to think the environment entirely harmless; it was his large polearm and sparkling armor that granted him the necessarily imposing stature to ward off potential predators.

The modest zephyr rose to a stiff autumn breeze, eventually growing to the point that the traveler struggled against it. His lighthearted tussle with the wind halted abruptly when the swirling air currents spun into a visible entity. They whipped around in a circular pattern, the center of which took on the appearance of dark, booming, rain-swelled clouds.

From within the disc came some manner of metallic sound, completely unfamiliar to the man. He'd already cast off his pack and assumed a fighting posture when a man-and-a-half-sized robot lept through at him.

Having never seen such a beast, the warrior was unsure of his options. He danced and dodged as best he could in his armor (though such a technique was never his forte, so encumbered or not). When it was quite clear that the monster had no intentions of parlay, the polearmsman sprung to action.

Grabbing hold of the extreme end of his weapon's wooden shaft, the fighter swung it about and built its momentum quickly. He struck with the halberd's full force, landing a direct hit on the robot's overturned bucket of a head. It made no cut, of course, but the bludgeoning power of the heavy steel axehead made a sizable dent and sent the monster to the ground. The weapon's point was immediately driven into a hole in the robot's metal casing, and it ceased its efforts to rise.

Puzzling over the creature's species, the fighter retook his pack and then paced 'round his opponent. In doing so, he drew too near the still-raging portal. He was sucked cleanly through, and instantly fell roughly to the ground behind a dark-spectacled halfling.

"C'mon, work, work..."

Troy twisted the key again, causing the small go-kart to let out a soft rumble. But, it quickly died yet again. He climbed out of it grumbling, turning only to give the light cherry-red frame of the vehicle a swift kick. One would think that he would be paying more attention to the axe-wielding barbarian that he had nullified with a Paralysis spell, but, well, different strokes for different folks.

Never mind that he flew out of a massive space-time distortion, Troy couldn't be late for supper.

Shino hears a loud thunk behind him. There is a man in armor getting up.

Shino: "Hey, It's a knight. Someone should help him up..."

He just looks at Jarukoth...

Jarukoth: "Tch. Lazy hobbit..."

Jarukoth had known several knights and paladins when he was alive, so he had a lot of respect for the lot.

Jarukoth: "So...what's your name?"

No stranger to interplanar portals and the like, the armored man was less shocked that he might have been.

"I'm Errol Lansink, good halfling, but I am no knight! A pompous and arrogant lot they are - I am a skilled armsman!"

Errol regained his footing and planted his halberd as he steadied himself fully.

Standard procedure was to escort such "visitors" to purgatory to a nearest transport zone. However, given the circumstances...

Jarukoth: "Nice to meet you. I'm Jarukoth, and this is Leann and Shino. I'm afraid that there has been a bit of a situation. You'll have to stay with us for the time being."

Leann: "What about the girl?"

Jarukoth: "Theyre's no place to take them now. The way things are going, they are better off staying with us until we get this mess sorted out."

"Now check for a quick second. Is there anybody else that showed up here?"

Welcome, Admiral Zerodius. Command?
-View reports on Possibility 250-121

... ... ...

Situation:

(unknow)

Cause:

An evil version of the Ex Comet has appeared in the Possibility. It is not know if the Ex Comet is behind the current anomalies in the Possibility, but it is a possibility. All agents that have been sent have failed to come back with their avatars in one piece.

-Shutdown all programs

... ...

_______________________________________________

Zerodius: "I've had enough! I'll check what's going on in this world myself!"

Zerodius activated his interdimensional teleport device...

Inside of the Purgatory appeared some kind of humanoid in a black high-tech armor that was a mix between Samus's armor (from the Metroid games) and Masterchief's armor (from Halo).

Zerodius: "OK... where am I..."

During this time...

==========================================

A Dark Force was laughing as a portal opened in front of it...

Dark Force: "At long last... I am free... these fools had tought they could seal me forever in this little place... but no one can seal me... as I cannot be sealed. I am the incarnation of everyone's hatred, sorrow, and fear... I am the bringer of death, destruction, and despair..."

The Dark Force became visible, revealing to everyone it's (rather horrifying) identity. The Dark Force was a gigantic comet made of souls...

Ex Comet: "The mortals and immortals... these pathetic creatures... so simple... so naive... so weak... but even such weaklings shall be forced to admit the truth... there is no such thing as Good. All that exist is the power of Evil and people are either too weak to wield it or strong enough to wield it..."

The comet laughed... it's voice was deep, cold, and cruel...

Ex Comet: "These naive people believe that the strong lives to protect the weak... but it is not the case. The weak only lives to feed the strong... and the strong lives to lead the weak. The people shall understand this simple truth... or I shall consume them! All of them!"

The comet began to emmitt extremely strong waves. It wanted the entire Universe to hear it's speech!

Ex Comet: "People of the Universe! Your time has come! The time for judgement is now! Now... a force shall consume this Universe and restore it to the way it was before Life and to the way it should have always remained... Prepare yourselves mortals and immortals alike! The force know as "Evil" shall purify this world!"

The comet entered the portal...

Jarukoth had heard of this new being before. His abilities and jobs were similar to that of a DiEn in many ways.

Jarukoth: "I think I know you. Zerodius, right?"

Zerodius: "No... we never met... but I could be still familiar. You see... while I come from another world, I could be similar to a being you met before..."

Zerodius made a few steps toward Jakuroth.

Zerodius: "My name is Zerodius and I am the Admiral of the Hunters. I believe you met with several of my agents in the past, do you? I was quite busy so I didn't took the time to check the reports about your world... tell me, what specie are you and what is your rank among the DiEn? ... If you're one of them, that is."

Jarukoth: "I'm sorry, I'm Jarukoth, a DiEn of the Jounin rank. We don't use standard Earth rankings here. In layman's terms, I'm the highest level before Kage, the Commander of our kind."

Shino: "Blah Blah Blah, yackety schmackity..."

Leann quickly stifles him. Jarukoth gets down on one knee, and looks at Shino.

Jarukoth: "Don't mind the hobbit, he's just peeved that he's older than me, yet I'm just about the best around here..."

Leann shoots him a look. She almost wished she hadn't kept Shino quiet...

Jarukoth: "Anyway, since you are here, no doubt you are aware of the current situation?"

Zerodius: "That's the problem. We know that your dimension is collapsing... but that's all that we know. For some reason, all of our agents have been eliminated by a powerful Dark Force... and we have many reasons to suspect that it may be the Comet of Fallen Souls. You do know what is the Comet of Fallen Souls, do you?"

Errol comprehended little of the conversation. He pulled down his coif and set his pack and halberd against the near wall. The warrior considered interrupting but, always being one who emphasized courtesy and ettiquete, he remained silent for the moment.

Jarukoth: "Certainly. I was one of the DiEn there to help seal it up, but that doesn't explain why the universal boundaries are falling apart."

"I suggest we get going, and begin our investigation as soon as we can."

Leann:"Ok. Bye..."

Shino: "See ya."

Jarukoth: "Hey! Wait..."

But it was too late. The two DiEn had warped away to a random dimension.

Jarukoth: "...Okay, I guess everyone else is with me. Make sure you have everything, and that you're ready. Things could get a little rough out there..."

Zerodius's right arm transformed into an Arm Blaster.

Zerodius: "I may be an admiral... but that doesn't mean that I'm useless without an army behind me! As for your first question... the boundaries are falling apart becease that something, or someone, is using it's powers to compress this Possibility into a single dimension. I suspect that the Comet of Fallen Souls is behind this becease that... face it... who else would be powerful enough to do this? Even I couldn't compress an entire Possibility! Anyway... heading into random dimensions will do no good. We should try to locate the source of the compression or, at least, go to where it all started. There, we will have far better chances of getting clues on why it is happening."

Jarukoth: "The comet never used to have that kind of ability, just pure power. It doesn't take a being of pure power to open several gates at once. But intelligence...

Anyway, our orders are to gather intel first. Since this seems to be happening everywhere, the best we can do is to look for hotspots of activity, and look there."

Jarukoth concentrates hard. Within a few minutes, he gets something...

Jarukoth: "There seems to be quite a bit of activity coming from one of Earth's realities. I'd say that's as good a place as any to start. Any takers?"

Errol stood idly by, dumbfounded by the multitude of complex and entirely unintelligible words. "Anything I can do to help?" he asked hopefully, grabbing his pack and halberd from their resting place.

Edit to fix a minor continuity issue that Zerodious gave me no control over .

Zerodius noticed Errol...

Zerodius: "Looks like a mortal... anyway, yep, you can help. You'll go ahead so we can use you as a human shield in case things would get a bit hectic."

Zerodius laughed... and he was the only one to.

Zerodius: "OK OK... I know, I'm not funny!"

Jarukoth: "Given the circumstances, I'd say we could use all the help we can get. I would be honored if you would go with us..."

Jarukoth concentrates some more, and opens up a gateway into the target universe.

Jarukoth: "As soon as you are ready, jump through the gate, and we'll be there."

He then jumps through the gate to the next world...
