| OOC: Alright, attempt #2... Don't screw this up, let me direct the plot. This is a very short story, it will only take place over the course of seven in-story days. I've got a reasonable plot set down, and just follow it, for my sake. This is purely an exposal story, ties up some plotholes that I've had for a while. Story's been rewritten, and this is it in its final form. You can join if you want, I'd suggest limiting it to people I've already RPed with, as this will make more sense to them. And now, the dawn comes... My name, as many of you know it, is Janus. I have a story that I would like to tell you all. Be forewarned: By the end of this story, I will have died. Many of you know me as "immortal". I can assure you, this story will disprove that theory. I have come to accept this fact as true. There is nothing that can stop this from happening. I can guarantee you, by the end of it you will have said many times "Oh, he should have..." But this story doesn't center around what I should have done. I've learned that there are so many should-haves in this world, that you can't pick any single one. All you have to do is live your life. Go forward, be as strong as you can... You see, I've waited to die. I've wanted to for hundreds of thousands of years. But, of course, in the most recent of these years, I gain a reason not to. Figures, eh? But that's ok, I believe there is more to the story than what happens. After all, I'm still here telling you it, right? Right.... -------------------------------------- Janus was frantic. 2 AM. August 11, 2005. That meant there were seven days left. He had to move fast. It was coming. It was coming, and he had to get the hell out of his house before it came. He had to keep moving, he had to act now. The wait was over. There were so many preparations to make, and so little time... Janus: "GREY! GREY GET THE HELL OUT OF BED NOW!" The young man's roommate staggered out of his bedroom, clad in flannel pajamas... His face was gaunt, his hair short, his eyes puffy, and glasses tilted on his face. Grey: "What, what...? It's 2 AM, man... You can't seriously want to go drinking NOW?" Janus: "This isn't about drinking! This is about life and death! We have to move NOW! We're moving, pack your stuff, put it in Satchel, everything must go! Out of the apartment, NOW!" He began grabbing random artifacts that were placed around the dingy apartment that Janus and Grey lived in, and started tossing them into Satchel. He was fully dressed. He pointed at Grey, and suddenly Grey was fully dressed as well. This was new, Grey thought. Janus tossed him a berry from within the confines of the bag and urged him to chow down. Grey bit into the Ygg berry and was instantly woken up. Grey: "Wha! That's some strong stuff..." Janus: "I normally use them for hangovers. Get packing! Axel CANNOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE GET HIS HANDS ON ANY TRACE OF US BEING HERE. Understand? Furniture, mattresses, posters, pictures, TV, everything! Satchel can fit it all easily. Just help me get it inside! God, there's so much to do..." Grey was dumbfounded. There really was no explanation for this whatsoever... Axel? That name sounded familiar, but he really had no clue at 2 AM on a thursday... Grey: "Wait, man, I"m not doing anything until I get an explanation----" Janus smacked him in the face and a rush of thoughts blasted through his head, and in one clear instant he understood what he needed to do. THAT was new, too... Janus: "No time for explanations, I'll tell you the rest later. Just GO! So much.... We need Star. We need Schwa and Yiusi (definitely Yiusi...), we need Dracoon and Origin, fuck, we need that bastard Dark Phoenix, we need as many people as can show up, we need them and we need them now!" Grey: "What about Kalar and Garro?" Janus: "If I'm correct he'll have gotten them already. There's no hope for them right this second, we've got to concentrate on keeping ourselves alive. Two pieces of the Trinity have been lost, I'm not about to let him get the third!" Grey: "Wait, what?" Janus explained as he tossed everything he could into the bag. He motioned for Grey to help him lift the sofa as Satchel magically expanded... Janus: "It's all that bastard Dark Phoenix's fault! He took Kalar and Garro out of my mind, and when he did he took two pieces of the Trinity with him!" Grey: "Trinity?" Janus: "It's the all-encompassing control force of the Grey Dawn. A bit like the Triforce: You get all three pieces, you control the world. Get all three pieces of the Trinity, Grey Dawn's yours. You don't need to know about it right now, I'll explain when we have more time! The point here is that Axel can't get the third piece!" Grey: "Who's the third piece?" Janus: "ME! God, use your head!" Grey: "And the Grey Dawn?" Janus: "YOU especially can't know that one! All will be explained in time, just move! NOW!" Janus was NEVER like this... Whatever it was that was bugging him, it had to be big. Really, really big... Grey: "Eh? But if Kalar and Garro came from you, does that mean you're supposed to control this thing?" Janus: "Like hell I am! I'm not sitting around and waiting for the Grey Dawn to come so I can take control of the world, I'm here to stop Axel from doing it!" Grey: "Who the fuck is Axel?" Janus dropped the sofa into Satchel, and leaped over the bag, directly into Grey's face. He was drop-dead serious.... Janus: "Axel is the single most evil person you will ever meet. And you will meet him. And he will try to kill me. He wants the Trinity, I took it from him, he's got two pieces, he can get the third. He just did it now. I noticed a surge of Time energy screwing up around where Kalar and Garro live, and I know it was him. Look, I know this sounds really hacked up right now, but you've got to trust me, there is no time to waste. We need to get to a safer location. We have to last for just seven more days. Seven. Survive for that long and we're fine. He catches us on the seventh day, and we're dead. Everyone's dead. Whole world is dead. Or rather..." His face looked solemn, he could barely think about it without seizing up in fear... ".....I'd rather not talk about it right now. Let's just pack." Grey: "I.... ok." There was nothing to do but that... The men finished their packing in almost no time, and as soon as Satchel was sealed, Janus used him to rip open a portal. Where to? Kalar and Garro's apartment, of course. He pulled Grey through the portal without a word, and dropped out of it directly in the middle of the apartment. Nothing had changed since last they had been there: Discarded pizza boxes littered the room, several copies of Garro's bible had been strewn about, and there were no signs of a struggle. Janus: "Damn, I was right. He got them first." Grey: "What're you talking about? It looks like they just went out of the place..." Janus: "At 2:30 in the morning? No way, man. There's more to this than that. Everything is EXACTLY as Axel wrote it. There's no signs of a struggle at all, it's made to make us believe that the two of them are just out of the house, which makes this automatically a worst-case scenario. He's trying to stall us. Kalar and Garro are NOT coming home." Grey: "What, again?" Janus: "Video games. You know how I do video games? There's one of me for each media type out there. Music, Television, Film, Gaming, anything you can think of, there's one of me. But by far the strongest of them is Axel. The most dangerous, too. Most of us just live our lives in peace. I actually retired from my job, didn't think it was necessary what with the ESRB and modern legal systems. Wal-mart, too." Grey: "So what's this Axel fellow?" Janus: "Books. Literature. Anything written down, even if we broke the fourth wall right now and took that, theoretically he could use it. If it's been written, it's his." Grey looked into the camera for a second, then shook his head and glanced back at Janus. Grey: "So why's he so evil? Seems like he has enough control over the world." Janus: "Axel is nothing but inspiration. He wants to be more, he wants to write for himself, but he can't. Not part of the job description. I couldn't make video games, Algus can't make movies, Raon can't write for television." Grey: "Wait, who are these people?" Janus: "Old friends of mine that I'm gonna hope haven't joined him. They seemed on pretty good terms with me when I left the Order, so I'm gonna guess things will be ok." Grey: "Order?" Janus: "No time to explain, we've got other places to go!" He ripped open another portal, this one through to Star's humble abode, and sent out a loud mental scream in the process... (thinking): 'SCHWA!!!! If you can hear this, get your shit together and move, we've got work to do! Bring Tux and especially Yiusi, this concerns them too! Don't ask questions, all will be explained soon enough, just go! And when you find out, make sure Sensae knows too!' (edited by Rear Admiral Grey on 08-11-05 02:24 AM) (edited by Rear Admiral Grey on 08-11-05 08:36 AM) |

| Jeff "Jarukoth" Cross was in the gardens of the DiEn HQ Complex, indulging in one of his favorite, stress relieving pastimes; stretching. It was wonderfully relaxing. The sound of the fountains, the light chirping of the birds, the green grass under his feet, all of it made for a magnificent... Khrone: "HEY! J! THE READER-THINGY IS BEEPING! GET IN HERE!" The sudden outburst send the birds flying away, and easily broke Jarukoth out of his relaxed state. Irritated, he quickly gathers his things, and runs inside. Jarukoth: "Was that megaphone really nesscessary? This had better be a big one, Rob." Khrone: "Number One; yes it was. Number Two; why don't you see for yourself..." Jarukoth hated to admit it, but he was right. The Dimensional Stability Radar had indeed picked up on a seriously large disturbance. It was rare to see such a displacement of power like it anymore, at least in DiEn circles... Jarukoth: "Do we have a visual lock on it yet?" Khrone: "We tracked it down to it's home dimension, so we should have something by now..." Flipping a switch on the radar, the screen converts to a security camera style view, searching for any lifeforms that may be involved in the disturbance. To his surprise, he sees... Jarukoth: "Janus? ...and Grey?" Khrone: "Geez, what's up thier butts? He acting like someone's trying to kill him..." Jarukoth: "...Maybe someone IS trying to kill him..." Jarukoth and Khrone stay silent for a moment, listening to the converation between the two... Jarukoth: "If this big force is after Janus, it's gotta be a major problem..." After all, Jarukoth's team would know better than any other DiEn, Janus was no pushover. For him to be that worried... It was apparent he could use some DiEn help. Jarukoth would go, but it would be best if he had some assistance. But who? Kari Chailyn was recovering from Nijote's poison, and couldn't fight. Besides, even if she was well, Grey probably didn't need any more distractions at this dire time. Shino Shadefoot was busy tending to Kari, curing her body of said poison. He seemed pretty intent on saving her, and looking at Kari, probably shouldn't (or couldn't) be persuaded otherwise... Given Ada's...condition, she was definitely in no shape for a mission. Since he had been taking care of her lately, that would mean someone would have to stay behind. He could leave either Nimue LaFaye, devout High Cleric and master healer, or... Khrone: "Hey! Did I mention I found out how to conjure a metric ton of horse manure the other day?!? Can you imagine casting that on an enemy army? HAH!" ...He may be family, but something about leaving his brother in charge of looking after his wife just didn't sit well with him... Jarukoth: "Ok, looks like the two of us are going out on this one." Khrone: "Excellent. Maybe this one will actually be a challenge, this time, eh?" Jarukoth's BioArmor instantly changes into his regular battle gear, as he takes in his brothers statement. There was little doubt in his mind that it would be. He goes over by Ada, kissing her goodbye. Jarukoth: "We have a bit of an emergency, and I have to go." Ada: "Yeah, I heard the whole thing. Janus and Grey, right?" Jarukoth: "Afraid so. I won't be long. Nimue will look after you until I get back." Ada: "Okay. Take care." Khrone opens the portal to Grey and Janus' world, and the two brothers walk through, beginning the search for thier comrades, arriving in a place they had not seen for quite some time.... Khrone: "Where are we?" Jarukoth: "Star's place. The last I saw on the radar, they were headed here. Now, all we have to do is find Janus and Grey..." |

| It was silent inside Star's house, but lots of magic was flowing through it. Star had died earlier, the exact time was out of reach to probably everyone, but it was the start of something big, thankfully, it was put to rest. Nijote: "Janus, normal people are asleep right~" A portal in time opened and Star (TC) stepped out and laughed. Star: "I was right this time! Who cares if it took a hundred tries!" Star paused as he noticed it wasn't just to himself. Star: "Anyways, its time right? I've already gathered everyone that can help you, well... at least are willing to. I couldn't convince Hero to come along." Nijote: "What are you talking about?" Star: "Grey Dawn of course. I've told you about it before." Nijote became speachless as she noticed Janus' breathlessness and how worried he was. Nijote: "They need another hour or so before they can bring Star back... They've been working at it for a few days, so I'm not sure if they can help at all after this. I'm not even sure if Star will be able to fight." Origin and Dark Phoenix waited at the top of the tower, feeling the unrest on the planet. Origin: "We should go help." Dark Phoenix: "That bastard of a Star made fools of us. Whats the chance we can have against someone that makes Janus' shake in his boots." Origin: "..." Origin didn't have anything to say about that, that insane Star had been able to send them back to the tower with basically a snap of his fingers. What chance did they really have against something else. Phoenix: "They're going to need you for what you can do outside of battle and not inside... especially you." Dark Phoenix sighed as he knew it was pointed at him. Dark Phoenix: "I'm not going to move unless they come through my tow~" Origin: "Your side was destroyed, and good riddance." |

| Janus: "Alright, good, so long as he's alive. Star, I can give a bit of a better explanation now." The lights go down arund Janus as he goes into a story-revealing monologue... "This really evil guy, Axel, he's coming. The Grey Dawn's coming, and there's only one thing that can stop Axel from using it to take over the world, and so far I've botched the job. The Trinity is the controlling factor for this extreme disaster that's going to happen in seven days. It's made up of three parts. I originally had all three locked inside of my mind, in a place where Axel really can't get to. Only thing Axel could really do was curse me with immortality so that the secret to controlling the Dawn wouldn't die with me, hence all the excessively suicidal missions you've all been on with me. I've tried to die, it hasn't worked yet, and what's worse, I don't even have all three pieces with me anymore. That stupid fool, Dark Phoenix, generated physical bodies for the other two pieces of the Trinity that were locked inside of my mind, the two that are least prevalent in me. They took the physical forms of Kalar and Garro, who don't know who he is or what he's capable of. Now, they're missing. Since I can't die, it's pretty obvious that one piece of the Trinity will always be alive. Chances are Axel kidnapped Kalar and Garro in order to make it so that they wouldn't commit suicide when the vital moment came, and believe me, it is going to COME." The lights go back up, revealing the night sky and forested area around Star's abode... "And that's the story in short. I'll reveal more when the time comes. I don't quite know WHAT the Grey Dawn is yet. That's what we've got to find out, and we've got to find it out before one of two things happen: Axel finding us, or the Dawn coming and us not knowing what to do about it yet." He turned to Grey... "YOU especially need to keep safe, for expressly special reasons. You guys got that? Nobody harms Grey at all, he cannot be hurt, he takes priority at this time." Grey: "Wait, why me?" Janus: "Can't tell you that yet, it's not proven, it's just a suspicion, there's still no time, only seven days, and WE NEED TO MOVE. There are things to do, places to go, people to see. We're gonna need more allies, people who are closer to my old order than any of you are. That's why I've called you all, and anyone else that's willing to help. Right now we need information." Janus' tone was commanding; unusual, considering his laid-back nature... It was quite clear to him what needed to be done, and he needed to express that as blatantly as possible to anyone willing to help. He pulled open Satchel, and revealed several large pieces of paper. "Divide and conquer! There are areas that need to be visited in order for the information to be gained. No duking around, the mission is to find as much as possible in as short a time as possible. These pieces of paper are the only clues I took with me when I left the Order, they lead to certain areas of the world where information can be drawn. The point here is that while you guys go out and find my old comrades and give them the message that I and the rest of the world are in danger, I'll be taking Grey with me to do a little information seeking... and maybe find out just what happened to Kalar and Garro. They might still be saveable." He looked at his fellows. No doubt they had no clue what was going on... He didn't like it, it felt like a waste of time for him, but... "Any questions? I'll spend the next hour answering as many questions as I can about our current situation. We need to plan this one carefully, every second counts when you're racing against time." |

| Star looked clueless while Nijote sat at the door, catching almost everything. Star: "So... umm... my job is to like... go get everyone that can help throughout the time stream? Cause... you kinda lost me..." Nijote: "After an hour you're going to have to explain this all again, because the other Star will probably be comming too. Nino will come and probably Lunari too..." Nijote sighed. Nijote: "You know, we could just find a way to kill you and be done with it, it'd sure make things easier." Star: "He's been trying that for thousands of years...." The house began to pulsate with energy. Nino: "Its almost done!" Everything seemed to silent for a moment and everything in the house paused. Nino looked at Lunari who seemed to be frozen. She looked into the source of the light and saw a body. Nino: "..." Nino opened her mouth and tried to say something, but she couldn't. She could feel Star's energy, but it was different... very diffferent... Nino: "St...ar..." The figured moved a little and she could feel some of Star's energy, but it still seemed different, more powerful and not quite as human. Star: "Nino... Thanks for calling me back..." Time seemed to be moving again and Star was standing where the light had been, he smiled and and kissed Nino while hugging her. Star: "We're going to have to help Grey first, but after that, we can take a break from saving the world..." |

| Jarukoth: "So that's the story, eh Janus? Sounds like a mission..." Khrone: "...Uhh...yeah.  "He probably didn't understand a word Janus said. Jarukoth didn't blame him much, after all, it seemed like a pretty long story, and urgency and long tales don't tend to mix well together... Jarukoth: "Ok. If that's the case, then give Rob and I..." Khrone: "Khrone." Jarukoth: "...What?" Khrone: "Call me Khrone in front of these guys. It's cooool!" Jarukoth: *sigh* "In that case, you can give us a destination, and we will retrieve the information. Or, you can take us with you to wherever you go. You seem to know a bit more about what we're up against, so it's your call how we're being distributed..." |

| Janus: "My thoughts exactly... And no, Star, we've finished that part of the job already. If this is it, we can deal with this. There are still a few people that I'm counting on, I just hope they show up soon. In the meantime, there are a few people you'll all need to visit." Janus turned to Jarukoth and Khrone. He looked over to Nijote and motioned for her to come over. "Jarukoth, take your brother and Nijote to meet this man:" He held out a piece of paper, with a letter attached to it. The letter was sealed, the piece of paper had a picture of an older man, crusty and british looking. Monocle to the eye, moustache to the face, and a narrow squint that suggested a taste for dignity. There were directions as to how to get to him, as well... "His name is Algus. He was an old comrade of mine, doing to film and television what I once did for video games. He's so old that I believe he's retired by now too, though for different reasons than mine. That won't stop him from being helpful, though... Give him this letter and he'll tell you everything you need to know. Be careful, though. Those directions lead to where he's hiding from Axel at the moment: All I know is that the location is somewhere beneath Hollywood, in California of the United States. Your best bet would be to start searching there, obviously. Ask around for a man by his name, particularly among the filming higher-ups. You'll need to break into a few backlot studios and talk to a few directors (Nijote, this is pretty much where you'd come in...) in the span of about four days, but once you meet him, it'll be cake from there. He'll make the decision himself, just deliver the letter. Oh, and you might want to keep your guard up if you happen to discover his hideout. Some of his special effects are a little more special than others, if you catch my drift..." Once Nino, Star, and Lunari had joined them, Janus handed them another letter. Attached to this letter was a piece of paper with a picture of a beautiful young woman on it. Her olive skin and chestnut hair suggested greek descent, but one could never tell with multidimensional beings nowadays... That said, she was excessively pretty, and smiling brightly in the picture. "Nino, Stars, Lunari... Your mission is to find this woman: Raon. Her job was musical in nature... She was the inspiration for nearly every major musical fad of the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries... She's almost as old as Axel, but you wouldn't know it by looking at her. I don't quite know why she quit her job, but Axel wasn't happy with her, and I can tell you right now that she'll have some tough mental defenses around her location. It's pretty obvious where she lives: The clues I pieced together led to Paris, France... Nightclubs and parties are what she digs nowadays. From what I hear she's pretty popular with the beatnik crowd nowadays, so check them out. There might be a bit of a language barrier, but I'm sure you can figure a way around that. Once you meet her, give her this letter, as well. She'll understand. The catch is, you must give it to her at night, and you must sit through one of her performances. This is a little more daunting than it may seem, because the thing about our kind is that we can't specialize in our patron... She can't make music, no matter how hard she tries. So to that I wish you the most luck." He grabbed Grey by the wrist and pulled him away from his previously sneaking position... "In the meantime, Grey and I have some research that needs to be done. There are a few places we need to visit, and a few theories I need to have proved or disproved. And we need to go alone. That, above all else, is important. Take these..." He reached into Satchel and pulled out a pair of walkie-talkies. They weren't ordinary walkies, though... "These are Intercommunicators. They're capable of surpassing the boundaries of space and time to allow for communication between the units with near-unlimited clarity. There's not much battery power on them, so I'd suggest using them sparingly. Any time they are used, they will set off an alarm on the corresponding communicators to send them out of sleep mode and into communication mode. In other words, if you're stuck, give someone a call." He stepped back a few feet, and prepared to address the entire group. "Now then, the fate of the world rests with you guys, so if you have any final questions, I suggest you ask them now while the going's still good." |

| Jarukoth and Khrone take a brief moment to look over the picture, before Jarukoth tucks the picture away... Jarukoth: "Roger. We'll report in when we find something. Whenever you're ready, Nijote..." Jarukoth opens his portal to thier destination and enters it, followed closely behind by Khrone. He leaves the portal open for a moment so Nijote can slip through... The warriors arrive in a back alley behind a large building, so they cannot be seen. Khrone looks down the alley to the sidewalk... Khrone: "Hey! Isn't that the Walk of Fame?" Jarukoth: "...I think it is. We are in Hollywood, after all. The real trick now, however, is figuring out where to start..." |

| Nijote came out of the portal and immeadiately began to move. Nijote: "No time to waste, come back on a holiday." Nijote walked towards a restuarnt where a party was obviously going on. She stopped at the front door and then watched a worker come out through another door. When she actually got near the door the bouncers didn't even ask her name. Bouncer: "Shove off lady, we're sure no one invited you." Nijote just moved back towards Jarukoth. Nijote: "I'm sure you can fake a way in easier than I could. Handle the drunks, they won't be able to think to keep quiet." Star (TC): "I'm going to finish picking up people since you don't need me." Star opened a distortion in time and stepped through before anyone could stop him. Star (BM): "Right... Lunari get us to Paris..." Lunari nodded and light enveloped them and they were gone. They materialized on top of a night club in Paris, but it was mid day here, and no parties were going on. Nino: "We should find a place to stay till night, bringing you back was hard." Star: "I'll find some place to keep me occupied till tonight. There are pleanty of hotels around here to choose from." Lunari: "Right, I brought money because I knew niether of you would." Star sighed, he didn't have any money, but he knew how to ask around at bars and win money off of idiots. He jumped down and entered the bar near the club, walking up to a guy that looked like he'd had a hell of a night. Star: "Know anyone named Raon?" |

| Immediately upon seeing Star, the tired man simply stared at him and furrowed his brow... Man: "Ah.... Je ne sais pas... Je n'parle pas englais, mon ami... Je ne sais rien au sujet de quelqu'un Raon appelé. Je ne suis pas assez compétent en votre langue pour communiquer correctement avec vous, monsieur." Yep, that'd be a bit of a problem in Paris. Random Stranger: "Hé, c'est un Étranger qui parle anglais ! Tirons profit de sa stupidité!" A man and several of his friends approached Star and began speaking to him in French, enveloping him and pushing him around jokingly. Other guy: "Regardez-vous ! Vous portez l'armure et une épée ! Vous devez être une certaine sorte de bravez le guerrier, naturellement ! Ha ha ha !" Anotherother guy: "Oui, nous sommes très effrayés de vous ! Je le détesterais si vous me coupiez avec votre grande, mauvaise lame !" And of course, being a public place, this wasn't exactly the right time for Star to start slicing heads off... As for Khrone and Jarukoth, they were only in H-town for a few seconds before a gigantic, bright white limo passed by them and sprayed mud on them from a nearby puddle in the street. This was NOT the place for Ninjas. A few passerby looked at the two of them, clad in Bioarmor and battle gear, and started wondering if there was going to be some kind of live action G.I. Joe movie made... Other than that, nothing. At least, until the short, fat man with round purple mini sunglasses and a megaphone dashed up to them... Fat dude: "AH! PERFECT! PERFECT PERFECT PERRRRRRFECT! You'll be amazing!" The man was clearly insane... And Janus and Grey? Well, they began their search the moment Janus ripped open a portal... Grey: "Where are we off to, while they're so busy?" Janus: "Research, my friend. Sumeria." Grey: "What's in Sumeria?" Janus: "The origin of literature..." He stepped into the portal, and pulled Grey along with him. They exited in a beautiful meadow in between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, somewhere in the middle east. A small cave lay before them, which Janus immediately started toward. "Here is where Axel's powers originate. The very first tales of the world came from places like this, cave drawings on the wall that no doubt form the basis of his abilities and his chain of command over the creative powers of the world. It is here that the first stories came from, and here will be where the last story ends..." He strode ever further into the cave, as a small, dull light began to glow from Satchel... Murals were illuminated on walls, carvings that had all but faded with the ravages of time... Mammoths, tigers, fire, trees, lightning, water... All were represented. But above them all was the Sun. The highest drawing always, above the clouds, even above the stars... The Sun was depicted always as rising, in its midpoint, and falling. "The men of the caves were surprisingly deep, Grey..." Grey: "Eh? What does this all mean?" Janus: "They told tales, you see... of fantastic events. I'm looking for one in particular." Grey: "Which would be?" Janus: "This." He stopped in front of one amazingly large drawing. It depicted a landscape, somehow... The sun, as usual, was rising far above the rest. However, it was different from the other suns that had been drawn. It showed a dark sun, and all was as dark as the sun that rose that day. The drawing, though skillfully done and crafted as well as any cro-magnon could, radiated a sense of... well, boredom and blahness, almost as though the world had been reset. Janus studied the picture for several seconds, and took note of several odd designs that Grey had not seen in the other drawings... Janus turned away from the mural, and began to make his way out of the cave. "I've got what I wanted. Let's go." Grey: "Wait, wait, what was that? You mind explaining to me?" Janus: "As a matter of fact, I do. Let's just go. We don't have much time." He swung Satchel, and another portal opened... |

| OOC: Eek! Ya started without me! Well, Janus said he needed Yiusi AND Schwa, so I'll try my best to write a fitting intro... Here goes. P.S. I'm NOT using Geezer Schwa this time, just so you know, but if Star were to travel to the Future to pick him up then I'd get him to join. "Schwa, something's bugging you?" "...." Allaura and Schwa stand in the Crystal Psipalace 12th Lobby SW. It's quiet there, and Schwa had come there to relax after fighting Grax Necrosis, a Gazer Demonlord who had been troubling him for a week. The battle was finally won, by Schwa, and Grax is dead and never to return... but something did indeed trouble Schwa during the battle. Halfway through, he could've SWORN he heard someone familiar calling his name... 10 minues of silence goes by, and Schwa cracks. "JANUS!!!" "Eek! Schwa, what're--?" "Gottagonicemeetingyakthxbye!" And Schwa jumps through the crystal wall, shattering it and falling out of the palace, summoning a Psi Disc under him and taking off in flight to some random direction! Allaura nearly has a heart attack. " *gasp* !!!!!! Sensae, come down, quick!" "I'm busy too, Allaura. Not as much as Schwa is going to be, though..." "What!!?" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - As Schwa flies, he telepathically tries to get a hold of Janus. "Okayokay, sorry for the delay! I'm very sorry! Did you need me? I'm on my way as soon as I get a ping!" Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, a cute, young Oracle girl, about 18 years in appearance, in a gold skirt with two magenta stripes and long, gold, flowing hair, half-walks half-dances her way across a lovely garden of rare flowers. She is completely at peace, and doesn't expect anything odd to happen anytime soon... |

| Khrone: "HEY! What the hell, man?!? This is my favorite coat!" Jarukoth: "Easy, easy bro. Let me do the talking..." Going on appearace and mannerisms alone, this guy seemed to be a director of some type. Jarukoth couldn't tell yet it if he was big time, or just another blithering idiot, but that didn't really matter. In this town, you had to network to get to where you wanted to be, as well as find who you sought to, and everyone had to start somewhere... Jarukoth: "Pardon me, sir, but what do you mean? What can we help you with?" |

| Star silently cursed under his breath, this would be a pain in the ass. Star: "Ugh... damnit..." Star thought for the only basis he knew of French and hoping it'd geet his point across. Star: "Parlez Anglais, oui, non?" Star grabbed his sword hilt as some people pointed at it and a little lightning went down it. He was mildly angry at everyone's mocking voice. Star: "And for those who can speak english. Don't. Take. Me. As. A. Joke." Nino followed Lunari into a big building with "Auberge" above the doorway, with a smaller sign below that with "Inn" on it. Lunari spouted off some French and the worker at the desk nodded. Lunari: "Ok, I got us a two room suite, and a wake up call at about 6 P.M. That'll give us about 6 or 7 hours worth of sleep... after a shower and a meal of course." Nino: "Thanks, a nice nap would be great. We should both be careful though, someone might be looking from us... and how do you know French?" Lunari smiled as she remembered. Her childhood had actually taken place around this area in a monastery. She was originally supposed to be a nun, but that idea fell apart after Lunari exposed a very strong personality and a strong magical ability. Lunari: "I grew up in France, I was supposed to become a nun, but I found out some of the extreme secrets of some of these churches here and decided it was best to leave. I was 12 when I left, the government put me into a foster home and 6 years later I started my own life. So, I know about part of the area, 8 years is a long time though, I might've forgotten a lot." Lunari turned and grabbed the key to their room and went upstrairs, knowing Nino was following. She opened the door to the room and fell down in one of the rooms, falling asleep rather easily. Nino sighed and sat on the couch, trying to find out what was different about Star. She realized how tired she was but kept trying to think. After a few minutes, she was fast asleep though. Nijote: "This is going to be a hassel, information will be heavily distorted..." Nijote stayed a little ways from Jarukoth and Khrone and waited to see what was going on. |

| Fat fellow: "What can you help me with? What CAN'T you help me with? You'll be perfect stunt doubles in my latest feature, Clevon Schpielbunk's "Enter the Nunchaku!" I tell you, it's a brilliant feature, absolutely PERFECT in execution! Why, it may even get the attention of the independent film populace, and then I'll enter the REALLY big leagues! Come, come, there's no time to waste, we've got to get to the set and begin production! Bring your lady-friend too, I'm sure we can find her an extra role!" All of this was, naturally, said very fast. Without even speaking, at about 7: PM in the middle of Hollywood, Jarukoth and Khrone found themselves being pulled along by a fat independent film director. Nijote might want to follow them. Something about the independent film business attracted a more cultured and exclusive crowd than did the average 20th Century Fox film. And Star? Well, ha. This is the real world. They were clearly drunk, and the lightning wasn't all that impressive considering some of the *other* things they were seeing right about that moment. One of the thugs approached him the moment he started speaking english. Even though he clearly understood, he was quite drunk. The trick here was now understanding HIM. Drunkard: "Ah.... velll, vattttwbeare gpoing at heree is,..... how yousay. A joke?? Mah freiends and I meannyou no 'arm. Comaend 'ahve youareself a drink vith us..." The rather disgusting (at this point) fellow put his arm around Star and began pulling him toward a bar, where a rather sober bartender awaited. ----------------------------------- Janus: "Hrm...." Grey: "Eh?" Janus: "A moment." They had emerged from their portal outside a magnificent pyramid in the middle of Mexico, an Incan Ziggurat. Janus, however, had other things on his mind at the moment. (thinking): 'Schwa, glad you could finally make it. We've got trouble...' In the space of about a minute, Janus' thoughts exploded with the events that had transpired thus far, sending them out in a mental wave that he knew Schwa would be able to at least sense. It was strange, Janus found he couldn't really do that with anyone else, but for some reason Schwa's thoughts were so in tune with his, mental communication between the two was almost as free as speech. That kind of ability was new, too... 'So you see, I need you to get Yiusi and Tuxydon as well. More Yiusi than anyone else, I'll need her Royal Ball... Among other things... And no matter what happens, stay away from Grey and I. It's too dangerous at this point. In a few days, we're all going to have to meet up together. The point here is to make sure we have as many new faces as possible. If I'm right, then Axel kidnapping Kalar and Garro has a little more to do with stopping US from working than it does using them as pieces of the Trinity. Especially...' Janus was suddenly hit with an awesome realization: Garro kept a journal that logged everything the four of them did, and every person involved with the events. And Axel was able to draw power from any form of literature. And Garro slept with the damn thing next to his bed. Another hole in space ripped open, there was a ghastly rustling of papers, books, guns, mattresses, sheets, and a few discarded food items, and he was back in Central America, a small black book in his hands and a satisfied smile on his face. Janus: "Heh, good thing he didn't get this." Grey: "I suppose asking for an explanation would be out of the question?" Janus: "You're learning. Let's move on." He tossed the book into his bag and strode into the massive stone structure. Again, as they walked, they were greeted with large drawings and mural that covered the walls of the darkened cathedral equivalent. A torch emerged from Satchel that lit itself in Janus' hands, and light shone about the place, casting shadows all around. Janus set the torch on the wall and suddenly stiffened. They weren't alone. He continued his observations anyway. "Hrm, more of the same. Detailing a dark sun rising and falling... Though this one was much more recent. Montecsuma's Revenge. The coming of the Conquistadores, and then the dark sunrise. It happened then, too. But there was a difference between then and the Sumerian age, which I'd like to investigate..." He was stopped in his tracks, however, by a very large fireball that flew toward him from the darkness. A distorted voice rang out... ???: "You should not be here..." In an instant, Janus' hammer was in his hands and slamming the fireball away into nothingness. He would NOT have this place be destroyed. He took a defensive position as Grey merely looked on in bewilderment. Janus: "If I'm not allowed here, why're you?" ???: "What you find out here may be the death of you!" Another fireball flew at him, this time accompanied by a large chunk of stone that Janus again batted away effortlessly. It was hard to tell whether this guy was just that bad of a fighter, or if he was only trying to warn the two explorers. Be that as it may, the darkness soon gave way to a figure in brown leather clothing. A scarf masked most of his face, but his build was plain to see through the clothes. He was brawny, but somehow amazingly agile, zooming past Janus and pulling a near-instant 180 to come at him from behind. The top of his head was also covered by a hood that gave way to a cape that flared behind him as he rushed Janus with nothing but gloved fists. Janus was taken by surprise for what may have been the first time in a few hundred years, as the fellow's unprecendented speed had left Janus completely open to the flurry of fiercely powerful punches that sent him flying backward several tens of feet. This guy didn't mess around. He pointed at Janus and another fireball, lazily aimed and shot, blazed from his fingertips. He raised his hand in the air and called down a piece of ice as well, hurling it in the shape of a sharp spear at Janus. Janus got to his feet and was immediately enveloped by the fireball, which was hot enough to burn him to his unkillable core. The spear of ice pierced him, and his eyes widened as he fell backward in shock, collapsing to his knee as the ice dissipated into nothingness. There was no visible wound. He staggered back to his feet and held his hammer out in front of him as another charge came from the mysterious warrior. Switching plans at the last second, he set his hammer aside and met the charge with his own two hands, going into a hand-to-hand battle with the fighter. The warrior sent a roundhouse kick at Janus, which he caught and countered with a quick sweep of his own. The fighter jumped the sweep and flipped in the air, coming down with a stomp toward Janus' exposed torso. The stomp barely missed the rolling Janus, who countered again, this time with a punch of his own. The punch, which had all of Janus' strength put behind it, connected with the brawny fellow's chest and bounced right off. Janus wrung his hand in pain and stared at the man's chest. No impact at all. It was like punching a steel wall. No matter. A short chuckle came from the fighter's throat as Janus snapped his fingers and held his right palm out facing the fighter as Satchel flew back into his other hand. A burst of void energy blew out at the warrior and surrounded him, pressuring him on all sides as Janus swung his hammer downward, hoping to amplify the normally excessive amount of damage a blow with the weapon could deal. He didn't count on the warrior being physically powerful enough to actually move out of the way. There was, after all, only one person who could do that. The keyword there was "was". The warrior near-effortlessly hopped, not even stepped, hopped, backwards as though mocking Janus' efforts. The hammer slammed downward and cracked the stone floors of the palace, and the warrior took this as an opportunity to grab Janus in a strong grip around his neck. At this close range, Janus was finally able to take a look at the warrior's face. His eyes widened in recognition, and he sagged into a state of tired resignation, returning Satchel to bag form and strapping it to his arm as he waited for what came next. The warrior made another throaty chuckle and tightened his vise-like grip, taking the limp immortal and slamming him into an intricately carved wall design. He then threw him toward the entrance to the palace and into the darkness. Janus was out. His eyes strayed around the room... ... And left their focus on Grey, who whipped a pair of fingers toward his forehead, concentrated, and pointed at the figure. Grey: "PK Freeze Omega!!!" A cold wind swirled from out of nowhere around the fighter, encasing him in a large block of ice. Grey turned tail and ran toward the entrance to the palace, trusting his instincts to guide him through the darkness of the ancient ruin. He came upon the light of the entrance in almost no time, where he found Janus sitting against a rock and breathing exhaustedly. Satchel lay at his side. Janus: "That fighter..." Grey: "He's taken care of. I froze him solid and ran." Janus: "Good, good... But it won't hold him for long, that much I know. We can't go back there any time soon. Not if he's guarding it. Come on, there are other stops on our list. Fortunately, this one wasn't essential." Grey: "Who was he, though? And what did he mean by "the death of you"? It sounds like he was trying to keep you alive, if anything." Janus: "Oh, he was. He was. But he never understood that side of me..." Grey: "So you know him?" Janus: "Of course." He ripped open another portal with a swing of his hammer, and set a foot inside. "His name is Evan." Before the portal shut behind him, Grey jumped through and the adventure continued...

| Nijote wondered what this guy was going on about. She had thought every single independent film of all time sucked, but she wasn't much of the movie person. She sighed as she ran after them, not really liking what was going on. Nijote *to herself*"This is going to take to long..." Star sat down at the bar and looked at the bar tender. Star: "You'd let them drink themselves to death wouldn't you?" Star flipped a coin onto the table, while not real currency, a gold coin had to be worth something. Star: "Get me something strong." |

| Schwa takes it all in as he flies. Then, "I'll get 'im both." (Of course, right before he entered the pyramid...) As Janus explored the pyramid, fought Evan and got his arse kicked, Schwa focused on detecting Yiusi and Tuxydon... Funny thing was Yiusi was right underneath him. Meanwhile, in a field of flowers... "Hey...! Isn't that Schwa?" "Yiusi, is that you? Oh God, I'm lucky to find you..." He touches down. "Hello, Oracle. Long time no see... Uh, sorry for bugging you again, but--" "Another Buster Beetle problem, right?" "Not at all. We need you for something else... Uh, it has to do with the security of our home planet. Kind of a big thing." "Well, I'll help you. It's about time I start doing something big... After all, if it's up to me to make my OWN destiny, I'm gonna need something to show off to the other Oracles when I return home! Where we goin'?" Schwa summons a Psi Disc emitting cream-colored ether. "Hop on, we need Tuxydon too..." "Uh-oh, not him..." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Don't be difficult, old man... Come ON, we need your help!" "'We'? There is no 'We' in Tuxydon. I am a lone wolf... A solitary eagle... A secluded tapir, call it anything you want, I am NOT helping you." "A secluded tapir!?" Yiusi exclaims. Schwa rolls his eyes. "Janus is a lone wolf too, that doesn't stop him from--" Schwa doesn't get to finish his sentence. One fine-tuned Chaos Gadget is on it's way to him. Schwa jumps back as the mini-bomb explodes into an earth-arrowhead, an air-blast and a plasma bolt, which Schwa dodges but barely. He then retalliates. "Alpha Psibeam!" (echo effects) "Chaos Psibeam!" (echo effects) They fire their projectiles, and being polar opposite elements, the result is a megaton explosion. Yiusi shields Schwa with the Yiusi Ball's shield, and Tuxydon, not being so lucky to have an ally, is thrown backward. He gets up and arms the Shark's Maw, a peculiar knife shaped like the mouth of a shark when viewed from it's side. "I don't care if I use my last breath of life fighting you, I'm not going to help you." "Fine! Settled! Yiusi, let's get outta here." "Wha? You're giving up?" "Yiusi, there's no point in forcing someone to do Good things against their will. If Tuxydon chooses to be Evil, that's on him. Let's get outta here." They fly off... Tuxydon stares at the two ether streaks in the sky as if they're a bad taste in his mouth. "Evil my ass!!" he yells to the sky, angrily. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "So, now it's off to see Janus, right?" Yiusi says to Schwa as they fly. "No, no that won't work. He needs some space for this mission and we're supposed to meet up with him in a few days." "Aw, that's too bad... I wanted to see him again! He's just so awesome..." "Whoa, 'again'? You've seen him? ...Yiusi, snap out of it! You're drifting lower!" Yiusi's Psi Disc regains the altitude it lost. "Oops, sorry! I was daydreaming..." "You don't have a crush on him, do you? I hope not." "Wayll... Hard to say. Uh, Schwa, where are we touching down? This leads to the ocean." Schwa looks up and sees an ocean ahead of them. He notices buildings on the shore, big ones... but not skyscrapers. "Some kind of port is down there, let's touch down there." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "5 degrees left. Locked on! Fire!" The red button is pressed hard, and in no time at all 3 guided missiles are on their way to Schwa and Yiusi. That kind of thing happens... when you intrude the air-space of a military base... |

Jarukoth himself was more than proficient with nunchaku, and he was sure that Nijote had more than enough skill to wield the weapon with ease. With thier combined expertise, he was confident they would steal the show. As for Khrone, well...someone needs to get the coffee, right? Jarukoth: "Sir...you've got yourself a stuntman! Lead on!" |

| Schpiel: "Excellent, EXCELLENT!!! Let's go! No time to waste!" As the well-rounded would-be director pulled Jarukoth and Khrone along, with Nijote also in tow, he began explaining a few other things. Schpiel: "Now, there are a few catches to this job: One, I've never actually directed a martial arts film before. Mostly I've been dabbling in the adult film industry, but everyone's got to start somewhere, right? This is my first attempt at something new, and I'm not entirely sure how to go about it. Funding, however, is quite amazingly provided." He continued on. His tone changed a little bit, however, as he started talking of just where he got his money... "The film, you see, was actually commissioned. Apparently some benefactor out there was looking for an underground director (LIKE MYSELF, HAHA) to make what he was calling one of the greatest creative projects of our time. I was tapped, and given the job nearly instantly, along with an almost unlimited budget! I couldn't believe my fortune, this was a huge step up from "The Lucky Cat" and "3rd Watch At Long Towers" (have you seen those? They're really quite masterful, there's some scenes...)." At this point, he actually stopped moving for once. It was really amazing how the man stayed so fat, he had been talking and moving at a rather uncanny speed for a fellow of his weight. "Oh.... but the trouble is, I don't really know what I'm going to do. You see, in my previous line of direction, there wasn't much rational thought required. You pretty much expected what seemed most extreme at the time. Here... I got shafted. Apparently, the greatest creative project known to man wasn't already in the benefactor's head, it had to be in mine. The worst part was that I was given no script, no recommendations for actors, no crew, no equipment. Just money. The commissioner seemed to believe that that was all I'd need, but I need something else..." Schpielbunk noticed that the stars had finally just begun to come out. He looked to the skies, his eyes misty and his face forlorn, almost as though he was half-heartedly expecting something that deep down inside he knew simply wouldn't come to him. For a man of his position, he was surprisingly sensitive. "I need inspiration. No director can work without it. I need a muse, an idea, something bigger than the rest of this. Some piece of perfection so grand that no amount of money that I spend could ever come close to even trying to honor that degree of creative strength. My work is the reason why I love my life, just the fact that some kind of crazy, mixed up, genius idea could come from a single person's head excites me, fills me with the zest I need to live on. But without any kind of inspiration, I'm nothing..." He went silent at this point, and continued his movement, which had slowed to a dejected trudge. They had arrived at his studio. ---------------------------- Bartender: "Do not patronize me, Monsieur Armorall. While my fellow counsrymen are admoneeshed by your prasonce, no matter what, I will always have seen strangaire folk. Someseeng strong, you ask? And all you have to show for eet eez zis piece of----" He lifts the gold coin off the counter, and realizes that it is actually NOT fake... His eyes widen. He realized just then that he, in an instant, suddenly became richer than half the bourgoisie. ".......... Pleeze, my good man, come to ze back. I will show you my very best." His hand is shaking as he slowly walks toward a locked door in the back of the nightclub... |

| Nijote sighed, she could tell something about this guy was wrong. She kept her thoughts to herself, not really sure what he was planning. Martial arts movie might be interesting though, she was decent with most weapons and hand-to-hand combat... Nijote: "Maybe me and Jarukoth fighting will give you enough inspiration..." Nijote grinned, the last time she'd fought Jarukoth, they both ended up almost dead. A friend had to come rescue him. It had been truely fun. Star got up and approached the back room, the gold coin he'd given the bartender was nothing to be surprised about, even though it was incredibly old, when Star had gotten it, it was hardly worth anything. Time traveling does a lot for you. Star: "I hope you can make this worth the money. Comming back from a hell like place leaves a guy thinking about violence." Star's hair seemed to stand up a little for a second, then dropped back down. |

| Later... "Geez, that was close! Nice smooth-talking, Yiusi. We could've been shot." "*giggle* I don't mind. I've had worse happen to me... but this time I had you to protect." "Yiusi... I can protect myself. I was wondering if YOU could protect YOURself, though. You seem to get into trouble a lot." There is silence for a while as they fly away from the military base. Earlier, they had been shot down and Yiusi had an interesting conversation with one of the Majors there, tricking him and his privates, and Schwa and Yiusi managed to escape to safety.
