	Vincent took the hit... but being as tough as he is, it didn't do much damage. Vincent then turned around to face the bodyguard... Vincent: "You can't harm me this way...thing is... I'm not here to fight... I'm here to become an annoyance!" SUPER FOCUS! The blue wall of energy (or "ball" if you really meant that) started to approach at a MUCH slower speed than it had earlier... infact, it went at a speed slower than slow motion, while Vincent's moves would go at Turbo speed for a while! Vincent: "Even with the help of your friends, you're being greatly outnumbered... where there's one of us, there's many of us... look around you!" The UEN bodyguard then felt something tap his shoulder... It was another Super Agent clone... or a pack of Super Agent clones, persay! He turned around, and... WHACK! The Vincent clone punched him straight square in the face and the bodyguard was thrown off guard! Infact, he was hit so hard it was as if he were hit by a ton of bricks! Then, something stopped his motion as another Vincent clone (actually, the real Vincent) grabbed him from behind, and put him in a full nelson! Normally any UEN would be able to break out of this fairly easily, but since this IS just a human being, and being that Vincent is heavier than a car because of all those muscles in his body, this submission hold would prove to be much too strong for the bodyguard to break out of. Then, a Vincent clone began to pummel away at the defenseless bodyguard, hitting him a few hundred times in merely a few seconds! One hit would sure leave a mark, but several hundred? DAMN that's gotta hurt! Then, Vincent performed a wrestling move on the bodyguard that involves grabbing him by the neck, putting one arm around Vincent's head, lifting him up and slammed him into the floor with enough force to send him flying through a concrete floor (but since this has a protective force field around it, it managed to keep him inside of it without being blown through the floor)... in short, a chokeslam... and a vicious one at that! ...only to be interupted! (Vincent clone): "Super Agent Vincent! The beam is getting too close! I guess I'll have to use myself as a sheild for you because it wouldn't do them any good to turn an avatar of an Agent into a UEN agent... you could just pull the plug on him through his jack port linked to the Matrix world... but if it were to forge the real Vincent's soul, then the entire Legion of Doom would be majorly screwed! Wha....AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Suddenly, the beam forged Vincent... or at least, one of the Vincent clones. It's body began to morph until his entire body would be repossessed! When this clone was turned into a UEN agent, it turned towards the real Super Agent Vincent, who had the bodyguard pinned helplessly to the floor, and tried to attack him! But then the remaining Vincent clones got in the way and they started to exchange blows to one another and, as they had done so, they had created a HUGE fight scene that didn't look like any normal fist fight at all with all those people crammed into one little spaceship standing neck-to-neck with eachother, but one of those everyday street or prison fights rather, and the Vincent clone-turned UEN agent was winning... somewhat, but nonetheless the clones were putting up a great blockade from the real Vincent. (On NARC control base) Ding Lee: "ZeroNumberX, do you copy? ZERONUMBERX, DO YOU COPY?!!" ZeroNumberX: "Yes cap'n." ZeroNumberX: "Quick! Now's the time! Vincent had successfully infiltrated the ship and his many clones are setting up a nice distraction, but the Vincent clones won't be able to hold him off much longer! We need you to load up the Nebuddchanezer Hub program, find the jack port linked with Vincent Clone #G-UNIT594, and pull the plug on him and we should have our way with the UEN agents and the Lucifier... or so I hope. But hurry! If we want to stop that ship from destroying your home planet, you gotta do it in a timely fashion! Now, ON THE DOUBLE!!" ZeroNumberX: "Yes sir!" ZeroNumberX then rushed out of the room as fast as he could, logged onto his computer, the Head Computer, and loaded up the program entitled "Insertion/Exertion Program"... this was a Matrix-based program that classifies all Agents linked directly to the Matrix by database and by G-Unit number... ZeroNumberX then typed in the search query "G-Unit594"... and it brought up the following result: Alias: Vincent, Super Agent Age: 26 Gender: Male Specimen: New breed Agent Current location: LucifierXIII battlecruiser, exact location unknown ZeroNumberX then put up a drop-down menu entitled "Commands" and selected the "Exertion" command. -Please type in the Exertion pass code- [DJF-DDA-849-034] -Your command is being processed... this may take a while- (During this time, BACK on the LucifierXIII) At this point, more than 3 quarters of the Vincent clones were beaten at their own game... and pummeled into submission. While they were strong, this UEN agent was too much for them to handle. The Head Computer displayed the footage of the UEN agent and it's so-called "fight" with the whordes of Vincent clones, who's Agent database was still linked with the Matrix and the Head Computer and could still be processed despite the change in character, body and soul. He started to work his way through more of the clones, beating them all up one way or another with little or no difficulty as ZeroNumberX continued to watch both screens displaying the fight onboard the LucifierXIII and the progress of the "Exertion" simuation. ZeroNumberX: "Come on, come on, come on... WORK, you stupid thing! You're wasting more time than what we already have!" Progress: 65% complete... The UEN agent took out 70% of the clones Progress: 75% complete... The UEN agent took out 80% of the clones Progress: 85% complete... The UEN agent had decimated 90% of the clones... they were almost all defeated now... ZeroNumberX: "That's right... just a little more..." Progress: 95% complete... The UEN agent had finally took out the barrage of Vincent clones, leaving only the original left. Progress: 96.25% complete... The UEN agent called Vincent's name... Progress: 97.50% complete... The UEN agent began to approach Vincent. Progress: 98.75% complete... The UEN agent was awfully close to Vincent... looked like his death drew nearer with each footstep. Then... Progress: 100% complete... The UEN agent literally swung a punch and tried to finish Vincent once and for all, until.... he feel backward as if something had cut the strings from him... and it had!...ZeroNumberX cut the strings off this puppet! The real Vincent, still leaving the bodyguard pinned, then looked to face the fallen UEN agent for a mere second and then, turned his attention back towards the bodyguard. Vincent: "Now... listen to me, agent... you WILL survive this one... only to walk me through the self-detonation of the Lancer... you know the Lancer's Self-Destruction sequence... and you're going to help me activate it... or you will die! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" Vincent then began to press a little bit harder as he had shouted those final 2 words of the sentence... he waited to hear his response... (During this time, Dimension 1) Seph: "No... never heard of it... what's it supposed to mean?"

	Bodyguard: "Hahaha... Game over! Super-agent Vincent!" Vincent had forgotten one very little detail... and unfortunately, it was a VERY important one. The Force Field passed right trought Vincent and in a mere second, all of his memories were erased and his soul was reforged. NeoBowser *telepathy*: "It is over, Super-agent Vincent! You are now condemned to serve me... for all of eternity!" ??? *using telepathy*: "Oh no! You won't do that!" A scythe made of bones passed cut Vincent's neck. A few seconds later, his head fell on the floor. NeoBowser *usint telepathy*: "What the... WHO DARED TO KILL MY NEW AGENT!" ??? *telepathy*: "See ya, loser!" ... During this time (unknow dimension, Lancer V2 - main deck)... ... Death: "Sir! Death reporting! Vincent was extracted from the LuciferXIII... but unfortunately, I was too late. Vincent has been reforged. I destroyed his current body in order to break the link between him and NeoBowser..." Zerodius: "Leave it to us. A soul can be returned to it's original state after being transformed if it is repaired before 24 hours has passed. Since merely a few minutes passed since he was transformed, I guess that it is possible to return him to his original state." Death: "Fortunately that the LuciferXIII's Dark Vortex system wasn't operationnal!" Zerodius: "Indeed. I'll contact ZeroNumberX and tell him that Vincent was extracted. I hope that Vincent remained there long enough for our special surprise to be placed there..." Death: "Probably..." Death disappeared. Zerodius stared at the little box that was containing Vincent's soul... Zerodius *transmission*: "Agents #20252 and #410150, come here! I want you to repair a transformed soul before tomorrrow. This is a direct order from your admiral and as such, the order has absolute priority." ... During this time... ... Goombario: "Well, according to the Hunters, the atoms are made of neutral particles, positive particles, and negative particles... however, these same particles are made of a specific material. This material is the "Base Matter". For exemple, Dimension 1's Base Matter is paper. While to everyone living here, this Dimension looks very real, to outsiders, we look like a living storybook! It is like this for every Dimension... exept the Prison Dimension and Dimension 0. The Hunters also found out that when one made of matter travelled trought Dimensions, his molecular structure would change, causing the traveller not to notice that the Base Matter is different in the new world. I always wondered... every Dimension has it's very own Base Matter... it's very own atomic elements and yet, even if this Dimension's water is totally different from Dimension 3's water, it doesn't make any differences... and also, why are the laws of physics the same in almost every Dimension? I also find it pretty weird that while matter's nature change in each Dimension, the energy that animate the matter is the same in every Dimension... Anyway, that wasn't important at all but well..."

	Chronic, watching everything from outside, started to get a little worried now... Chronic: "Little do they know that those agent clones aren't quite dead... well, not all of them! They could keep trying this all day... we'll just keep making more of them; thousands more infact, each time they forge one pack's souls." The attack hit the real Vincent, and he fell to the floor, immobalized and headless. Vincent: "No... this can't be happ...en....uuuhhhh!!!" With the rapid blood loss from the neck Vincent was suffering, he was pretty close to death... Until... The bodyguard's true form then exploded, and out of it came a new Super Agent Vincent... it appears as though he had used the "Aquire" ability... new soul (until his current is fixed; hence the reasoning for getting a new soul and then dying all of a sudden), but his head was back in place, body, everything that had changed was brought back to normal. Super Agent Vincent: "That was a nice try... but I don't give up easily, UEN! You forget: you are being bombarded. You are surrounded by clones of myself and, no matter what you do, they're just going to keep coming back! Boys, would you be so kind and finish the job for me?" Vincent clones (ALL): "Yes boss!" Suddenly, thousands more Vincents came storming in from another corridor into the room Vincent was in earlier. For a second, the other UEN agents (may have) turned and looked as Vincent's "revamped" body then fell to the floor lifeless even after aquiring a new body... looks like someone must have pulled the plug on him and jacked him out of the Matrix. As they (may have been) watching, they fell to the floor on one knee, stunned as the Vincent clones shot each of them once in the leg with a Golden Desert Eagle handgun! Normally this would kill any normal being in one hit, but since these UEN agents can't be killed (just yet, anyway), the worst that could happen to them was simply being stunned from the shots. The Vincent clones stopped firing after one leg shot for each UEN agent in the room. Vincent clone #1: "This is a lose-lose situation!" Vincent clone #2: "You'll have no choice but to nuke this ship!" Vincent clone #3: "If you don't..." Vincent clone #4: "We will!" All Vincent clones in this ship, which took up more than half the ship's capacity, then stood in lines in front of the ship's control panel, with their sniper riffles's red light (rangefinder) pointed right to every UEN agent's heads while one of the Vincent clones guarded the control panel. Vincent clone #1: "Alright, on your knees, gentlemen... you heard me! ON YOUR KNEES!! This ship will be under our control until we can find a way to severe it, Admiral Zerodius' orders... in the meantime, stay perfectly still with both hands above your heads... if you move, we'll be forced to shoot you again, and trust me, you DON'T want that!" One of the Vincent clones then looked the other way and whistled to another Vincent clone guarding the door. Vincent clone #5: "Yes master?" Vincent clone #2: "Apparently NeoBowser is in the other room... and quickly! Let's lock him out of the Cockpit/Engine Room so that he doesn't mess this thing up, which you know he will if you let him!" Vincent cone #5: "Affirmative!" Vincent clone #5 then started pressing some numbers on the C4 Lock and pressed it against the door... The door was now locked by a very powerful explosive lock keychain that is said to carry a bomb within the seal that, should anyone or anything try and unlock this door, it will go off and ignite itself in a VERY powerful explosion that will severe ALL electronic systems in this ship, thus destroying it (enhanced "motion sensors" were turned on meaning that it'll explode just by touching the lock). Vincent clone #2: "Now, don't even think about unlocking this door... this C4 Lock will go off and destroy this entire ship if you do! Anyways, it won't help you if you do because we'll shoot you on the spot using these "specialized" sniper riffles and then you'll become one of us, and once this red light touches the intended target, it can't miss! G-Unit501... contact Admiral Zerodius immediately!" Vincent Clone #1: "Yes sir!" Vincent Clone #1 used his "earplugs" to send a direct call to Admiral Zerodius. Vincent Clone #1: "Admiral Zerodius... what's the current condition on the true Vincent's soul?" Vincent Clone #1 stood and heard that they were already fixing it and that he should be up and ready by tomorrow at the very latest... he was (somewhat) delighted to hear the good news. Vincent Clone #1: "Excellent... anyway, Zerodius, permission granted to plant the Lucifier de-stabalizer. We're more than ready to nuke this joint and save the city once and for all!" Vincent Clone #1 then hung up, and continued to watch the other UEN agents... Vncent Clone #1: "Good luck to NeoBowser in getting back into this room, which is, of course, impossible. As for the rest of you who may very well try and stop us, we'll be more than happy to add you to the mix... you'll be a great randition to our Clan! This ship is nothing more than a sitting duck now, just waiting to go off. It won't be long until we finally nuke this thing and save the city! This explosion WILL hurt, but I figured it'd be much less painful to just sit back and let yourselves fade into the darkness rather than getting up and fighting out of this losing situation to which is inevitable. Well... I guess there IS one person who could help you right about now, but we've already dealt with her and, considering the legit consequences, I'm not so sure she'd want to help you guys out any further, thus it'll cause this ship to blow up in a heartbeat (it'll detonate if ANYTHING goes past it's laser-trip sensors once it has been planted, which would be the Engine Room/Cockpit), so don't count on it." (During this time, North Toad Town) Seph: "That information was untimely told, but nonetheless vital... I'm sure it may be of some use to us later on, but in the meantime, we've got some catching up to do!" Seph, followed by Goombario, then hurried towards the Shooting Star Summit.

	Off: Unfortunately, you misunderstood my post. Vincent was hit by the UEN Force Field and reprogrammed to serve the UEN. However, this was only a weak system and as such, the original soul data wasn't deleted. Death appeared and killed Vincent so that the Hunters could delete the reprogrammed part of himself and then revive him. In short, as long as the Force Field generator is active, each time Vincent tries to inflitrate the LuciferXIII, all that the UEN agents will have to do is reprogram him to serve the UEN, thus forcing Death to kill him and bring him back to the Lancer V2 so he can be revived. In short, if Vincent remains in the LuciferXIII for more than a few seconds, it's instant-death for him (but fortunately, it's a temporary death... but it's still annoying since each time he gets killed, it cost him his most recent memories). Yep, that's very annoying... but the LuciferXIII is the UEN' HQ, what do you espect? You espect them to sit there and wait for the Legion of Doom to kill them? Nope, they're going to kick them out of their own home and since it's their HQ, their strongest defense systems are there. Until the LuciferXIII's internal systems has been weakened somehow, a direct assault is impossible (but an indirect attack is still possible. Remember, however, that while indirect attacks can cause serious damages to the LuciferXIII and greatly slow down/screw their current plans, until a direct assault has been made, the LuciferXIII will endlessly regenerate and the UEN will always get back on their feet after being knocked down). Surprisingly, I have an issue with my last post... I did controlled your character thus breaking my own rules. I'll make sure not to repeat that mistake (but I hope you'll overlook this little fault in my last post since it explained in a very clear way what happens when someone infliltrate the LuciferXIII when it's defensive systems aren't down).

	Off: You do not understand. The LuciferXIII hijack CANNOT happens becease that it's the goal of the VERY LAST CHPATER... and anyway, the Force Field does NOT only forge one soul, it forge ALL souls on the LuciferXIII and it is impossible to get a new soul becease that one's soul is his very essence! If Vincent gets a new soul, then he's not Vincent anymore! And anyway... NeoBowser wasn't in that corridor. How could Vincent cast Banish3 on him? And NeoBowser is a mortal, so he is immune to it, anyway (technically, he's the Absolute Evil... but both his body and soul remained mortal. In short, he can gain power from all negative feelings... but does not suffer penalties for having such a great power).

	Off: First of all, the Vincent clones were NOT trying to hijack the ship... well, not really anyway. They were just guarding the ship's control panel so that noone or nothing may take control of it until Zerodius interveins with that one "explosive" he mentioned earlier (whatever it is). Second of all, there WERE a few misunderstandings last post(s)... I'll correct those immediately.

	My question is... how could the Vincent clones continue to keep coming if they were ALL reforged (including the real one)? Furthermore, Vincent was teleported off the ship and even after editing, you STILL ignored the Force Field. ...but I can still ignore all that becease that, anyway, it would have happened even if the Vincent clones had evacuated. ____________________________________________________________________ Zerodius *transmission*: "Evacuate NOW! Remember that you can teleport inside... but you can't teleport out! You'll have to run away, steal ships, and get at a safe distance from the blast! The blast won't destroy the LuciferXIII but it should SERIOUSLY slow down and foil ANY plan they've been planned so far! Anyway, you have 15 minutes! Good luck!" 14:59:99 before explosion... ... During this time (Dimension 1, Shooting Star Summit)... ... After travelling trought a short path and climbing the mountain, the heroes reached Shooting Star Summit's summit. Becease of the location's mystical powers, it was permanently night at the mountain... In front of the heroes was the Seal of Stars, the gateway to Star Haven, the Stars' realm. On the 7 symbols of the seals, hollograms of the Star Spirit appeared... ???: "Welcome Seph. We are the Star Spirits, the guardians of this Dimension. We have been waiting for you..." Goombario: "I'll stay back. It is with you that they have business, after all! Step on the center of the Seal and listen well to what they have to say. The Star Spirits are very wise. Their advice is crucial to our success!" Goombario got out of the way. (edited by Zerodius on 09-28-04 08:41 PM)

	Off: New Vincent clones were created, and they were produced AFTER Vincent's soul was forged, and since they all have different souls (the soul is what makes a person him or her, gives him/her his/her alias, etc; these clone's names start "G-UNIT (insert number here)", NOT "Vincent" or "Super Agent Vincent") there's no way that it could've inflicted them before being made like it had the other Vincent clones... in short, they'd have to be ON the ship at the time the Force Field was unleashed in order to have their souls be reforged. Incase you're wondering who or what is making more of them, it's the X Sentinel Squids from outside the ship (after they respawned, anyway). As for the true Vincent, hence the reasoning for Vincent aquiring the bodyguard, snatching a new soul but then suddenly dying immediately afterward, he did that so that he could be repelled from the soul forge and use a new soul until his current is reparied (this actually could've happened one of two ways; he didn't even need to use "Aquire" to prevent the UEN from mind controlling him as putting him in an unconscious state would've prevented that to begin with; the reason he did so was to get his [old] head back after Death lobbed it off). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vincent Clone #1: "Admirable!" Vincent Clone #1 then hung up... Vincent Clone #1: "UEN... you have approximately 15 minutes to evacuate this ship... yes, we're obliged to follow Admiral Zerodius' orders and evacuate, but don't think for a moment that, just because we're not here, that you can continue to attack Xavior until that time elapses... I've got something for you!" Vincent Clone #1 then opened up a remote controlled gadget of some sort and dropped it on the ground right in front of the ship's control panel... Suddenly, the gadget started to transform itself into a briefcase... Then, the briefcase opened up a couple hatches, revealing a machine gun turret... but for some reason, it didn't start firing... yet! Vincent Clone #1: "This is a, what I like to call a Phoenix Ronin... a rapid fire auto cannon disguised as a suitcase. It identifies any and every target that lies within close enough range of it's microcomputer, but it won't start firing unless or until the user comes within several feet of it... since you guys are somehow "special" and cannot be killed by anything just yet, you WILL experience what I can only describe as severe, nonstop and crucial pain with each bullet if you do what I think you are going to do, thus rendering you helpless. One last thing..." Another Vincent clone stepped in... Vincent Clone #2: "We are an organization not built on resources, but on money. You think we have that kind of technology? Then by God you are mistaken! We pay the people who do have the needed technology large sums of legitimate money, and they make it FOR us! And we are paid with every accomplished deed as well... after so many accomplishments, we've got all the hi-tech gadgets and weapons of mass destruction we need to take out our other foes the Guardians... which they're next on out hitlist! In the meantime, feel free to make yourselves at home... if you can!" One of the Vincent clones then chucked a grenade into the air... And then, another Vincent clone used his vast reflexes and coordination to blast the tear gas grenade with a single shot of his handgun while in midair! The impact left a clear cloud of tear gas directly in the eyes of every UEN agent on board the ship's Cockpit Room... their vision is now so impaired it was as if they were drunk. Vincent Clone #1: "Sienora, UEN!" The Vincent clones "Phased" to move past the locked room door, and then simply walked out the door leading into the LucifierXIII towards the very end of the ship. They hurried out as fast as they could. (During this time, Shooting Star Summit) Seph: "Will do, Goombario... after all, sometimes you've got to just go things alone, and this is perhaps one of those times... so, off I go!" Seph then stepped into the center of the Seal... he prepared to hear the Guardian's (predictably) long-but-important speech

	NeoBowser ('s real body) opened his eyes... NeoBowser: "Zerodius... YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS! HEAR ME! THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY DEFEAT! THE UEN SHALL BE BACK!!!" In a flash of light, the LuciferXIII exploded! ...or so it seemed. Where the UEN's mothership once was, there was now an armorless Hell Worm! The LuciferXIII stared at itself for a while before finally realising that it's armor was gone and that only it's survival systems were left. The LuciferXIII roared in rage and teleported back into the depths of the Prison Dimension. The FALCON agents received a transmission... Zerodius *transmission*: "Are the X Sentinels still operationnal? I know the Vincent clones made it out... but I'm still worried. Anyway! Congratulations, the UEN's plans were seriously screwed up thanks to you! Their mothership is in ruins, their new weapons are now nothing but cosmic dust, and NeoBowser was burnt to a crisp! While we did win... it is only a temporary victory. We were lucky that the LuciferXIII wasn't completely operationnal yet and that the Dark Kings didn't used their powers to enhance the LuciferXIII's defenses. While we did destroy the LuciferXIII... we only destroyed it's mechanical part. It's biological part as well as it's life-support systems are still intact and while NeoBowser was indeed burnt, it was only a mere annoyance to him. The LuciferXIII shall be rebuilt and NeoBowser will recover from this humiliation. Anyway... all units, return to base for debriefing!" ... During this time (Dimension 1, Shooting Star Summit)... ... The Star Spirit that seemed to be the oldest advanced a bit and started to speak... Eldstar: "I am Eldstar, the oldest of the Star Spirits. We have called you here to inform you of the events that are happening on our world... ever since Bowser came back to life, he has unleashed his minions upon the world and has plunged our world into chaos. As the guardians of this world, we were given the Star Rod, an item of infinite power, by the Hunters. However, Bowser knew that we would try to use it to drive his forces back so he gave to Kamek, the Dark King who is in charge of plunging our world into darkness, his latest creation, the Star Field." The Star Spirit who was wearing glasses floated foward... Skolar: "The Star Field is a corrupt magical force field powered by Kamek and his main commanders' life forces. When you defeated the Goomba King, the Star Field was weakened a bit... but as long as Kamek and his commanders will live, we will not be able to use the Star Rod." A Star Spirit with a thick mustache stepped foward... Klevar: "Bowser is terrible beyond imagination. Using the power of Everyone's Hatred, he made himself all-powerful. By using his puppet, Kamek, he is able to fuel his underlings with infinite power and I fear that only our Star Rod may be powerful enough to keep Bowser from infusing his troops with power. Unfortunately, our realm, Star Haven, has been under attack by the UEN's space fleet and we are unable to go and destroy Kamek and his commanders ourselves." Skolar spoke again... Skolar: "Bowser has improved since his last attempt at invading the Universe. He knows that, last time, he lost becease the legendary hero, Ex Lightheart, summoned the power of the Star Rod and sealed Kamek's power so... he decided to send a dual attack. Like last time, his troops are attacking Toad Town and are trying to form a perimeter around Toad Town... but this time, they're also trying to invade Star Haven as well. The UEN are already way too powerful. We cannot afford them to steal and use our most powerful weapon against ourselves!" Eldstar spoke again... Eldstar: "Seph... we know that you seek to defeat Kamek as he is a Dark King, one of your targets. However, you cannot defeat Kamek with the Dark Weapon alone. When you awakened the Dark Weapon, you also awakened the curse that was on it. You will need to find the 8 weapons that the ancient heroes used to defeat the Dark Kings, before the rise of the UEN. As such... Seph, you will have to find the Lavalava Hammer, Mario's weapon, and use it to undo the first seal on the Dark Weapon. Only by destroying the seal will you stand a chance against Kamek." The Star Spirits seemed to disappear for a few seconds... Eldstar: "I fear that we can't continue to speak with you much longer. While it looks like we're just there, in front of you, we are, in truth, using our powers to communicate with you from Star Haven. We are already using most of our strenght to repel the UEN attacks and if it continues like this, we shall run out of power. Please hurry, Seph... you must shut down the Star Field before the UEN we completely run out of power..." The Star Spirits' images faded...

	Vincent Clones (ALL): *transmition* "Affirmative!" The Vincent clones, and the remaining X Sentinel (Squids), quickly teleported back to the Hunter's HQ to meet back with Admiral Zerodius and... apparently, accompanying him at the round table was none other than second-in-command ZeroNumberX himself. ZeroNumberX: "Congratulations, gentlemen... you've succeeded in dishing out the agony, the impurity, the disgraceful piece of slime, that was the UEN... I must say I couldn't be any more proud of you... but you shall come to find that parties and makeovers aren't the only thing I be talking about here... I'm also here to talk business." ZeroNumberX then began to light a cigar in praise and celebration of this moment... pretty unusual of Zero since he's typically not the kind that smokes or does any kind of drugs. ZeroNumberX: "We stuck it to them hard this time... but next time, we won't just be sticking it to them... we'll rub it right in their faces! They know what we're up to, they know what to expect from us next time around... or so they "think", you see? What I thought I'd do is put that knowledge to the test... the Ultimate test! Why? Because, like one of our or their so-called "Double Agents" like so..." ZeroNumberX points one finger towards Celebi and then continues talking. ZeroNumberX: "They're holding tidbits... tidbits that are linked with our aliases, our plans for taking out the UEN once and for all, our plans regarding the Guardians, everything putting our destroying the UEN and the Guardians at stake... and for our being successful, it is important that this information doesn't sink right into their heads, or else they can use it what can only be described as a very deadly, brutal weapon of mass destruction against us, thus destroying any hope of defeating the enemy we may have left... that's our problem, and what I thought we'd do is a, what I like to call, a "Problem-Soluton" scenario... the soluton? A lie detector test of doom! Several stipulations regarding this plan..." ZeroNumberX paused for a moment and took a few smokes of his "praisal" cigar. ZeroNumberX: "That makes 8 UEN agents, so that leaves us with 8 test tubes, one for each. Our approach to this plan is somewhat like our previous attempt at "imprisoning" them back at the Velvet Underground, thwarted by someone we've trusted and known for so long, might I add, but that's beside the point! Anyways, the main difference between that and this new plan is that we are going to be holding them "hostage" at a certain degree, but unlike before, we aren't going to be locking them away in a jail cell shortly after knocking them unconsciously to the floor... we are going to let them keep their consciousness and make themselves at home... inside these Chriogenic Gas Tubes!" Suddenly, 8 other agents then pulled the blinds over the tubes, which revealed 8 large chem lab tubes meant to stick one person or being inside of each one for either chemical research, gene splicing, or other scientific studies. ZeroNumberX: "But hold on a second... it doesn't stop there! We aren't going to kill them off shortly after hostaging them, we aren't going to witness them suffering at all, hell, we won't be acustomed to affecting their hostilities whatsoever... under one condition: they pass the test... the lie detector test that is, infact, built right into these "Brainwashing" tubes... infact, that's the specialty of this whole plan! We are going to transport each and every single UEN agent involved in our previous plans earlier on, somehow, someway, into these test tubes, and we are going to conduct a lie detector test on all 8 agents simultaneously based on the aformentioned "tidbits"... they must answer each and every single question we ask them not only truthfully, but in a timely manner as well... they each have 20 seconds max to answer each question correctly and honestly, or else, guess what?" ZeroNumberX then held up some sort of remote, and pressed the red button that laid in the center of it... and suddenly, the entire insides of the test tubes were encased in pure green, phosphorous and exotic gas of some sort... looks like ZeroNumberX was giving off some sort of "demonstration". ZeroNumberX: "They'll be gassed! Where they shall suffer through such symptoms as amnesia, dehydration, decomposition, mutation, cellular implosion, even deformation. Not only will it erase any and all links with the UEN in their system in the process, but it will also "brainwash" them to the point that it'll begin to take over... and they'll each be transformed into one of our very own personell like NeoBowser has tried, but failed, to make us of his! And unfortunately for NeoBowser and his UEN, if and once this happens, there is no cure for scientific fKitten Yiffers such as the chemical meltdown that either NeoBowser's own ministry, or it's agents themselves, shall suffer through. It's either the ministry perishes slowly-but-surely, or the agents suffer quickly-but-deservingly... which choice I will leave to them once this plan gets underway... but let's not worry about that now! I say we file this one away and stick it in our "Future Reference" folder... as for you, Double Agent Celebi, regarding this plan." ZeroNumberX snapped his fingers as to give a direct call to Celebi/Death. ZeroNumberX: "Yes, we understand that these agents may be your friends, even if they are UEN agents, and yes, we understand how you must feel of being apart of running the lie detector test that will prove each and every single one of their state of mentalities, but what you must understand is that, friend or foe, these people you rescued from the prison, the very people you aided earlier, are terrorists, and what's our policy on terrorists again? Oh, yes, that's right... WE PUNISH THEM! Punishment they need to be taught, and punish them I will, and this time... there's not a damn thing you can do about it, Celebi! Because, in regards to Clause 18 of your "Contract".... ZeroNumberX then opened up Celebi's file containing her Contract, and skimmed right to Clause 18 "Thou shall not, under any circumstances, aid terrorists of any sort while in the hands or custody of the Hunters/FALCON clan" ZeroNumberX: "You agreed to abide by both the Hunters and FALCON policies, as stated in the contract and, while they do differ from eachother in some respects, you signed an agreement declaring your inclination of both when you signed your Hunter organization contract... which means you're also abiding by us... and the Clause I described applies to the FALCON clan and, while it is indeed, the Hunters that are commanding us as you so described earlier, it is us who are secondaries to the Hunters... which means that the Hunters have one power, and we have another... what I'm trying to tell you is, the Hunters are the ones that gave you your job... and it's us, the FALCONs, who can take it away, and we will if you continue to violate Policy any further may you like it or not... but as you can see, while I'd like to cut down to the chase of all of this, there's some key moments I'd like to go over... perhaps THIS footage sounds familiar?" ZeroNumberX then pulled out some sort of radio-like device out his backpack and held it high in the air... looks like some sort of tape recorder. (Previous footage) Captain Dark: "HAHAHAHAHA! What losers! They just executed lifeless dolls!" Assassin: "According to the reports, the Legion of Doom won't be able to use the Emerald of Doom for a while, now." Captain Dark: "For a while? HA! The boss has made a little plan to destroy it. It won't take long until the Legion of Doom is finally defeated. We shall exploit their two major weakness..." -END OF TAPE RECORDING- ZeroNumberX: "And that, ladies and gents... was ALL thanks to one of your so-called "Double Agents"... back at the prison, while she was supposed to be helping us, she instead only made US look stupid in front of our bitter rivals, and that, to me, is an insult... a pure insult, a disgrace, a matromony, discrepency, whatever-the-hell you want to call it! And that's not the last of the footage... here's the evidence of her betrayal! ZeroNumberX hit "Play" on the tape recorder once more... which took place just moments after the displayed footage. (Previous Footage) Death: "Well, I WAS actually trying to free the UEN agents. You see, I am a double-agent... which means that I work for BOTH sides... or so it seems. I really am on the Hunters' side but sometimes, it is better not to defeat an enemy now and let it escape... if it can lead us to their base! Just think about it... the UEN won't care if we destroy these agents. Even if they don't have spare bodies for them, they can replace them... but if we destroy their base, then it will be a fatal blow to their organisation! Such is what you do not understand... it is why it is still the Hunters and not the Legion of Doom that are leading the assaults. You may be strong... but if the Hunters were letting you lead our forces, the UEN would have defeated us a long time ago. Anyway... I have to go now. I have to report to both admiral Zerodius and Dark King Mewtwo." -END OF TAPE RECORDING- ZeroNumberX: "And there you have it... Death, in her own words, explaining her reasoning behind freeing the hostages, hence violating FALCON Policy... this is why the vast majority of the Board of Owners of both the Hunter and FALCON triads voted in favor of your impeachment, Mrs. Death, but it was I who was so kind and turned down that proposal even knowing you had personally betrayed me and the rest of these people..." ZeroNumberX then pointed towards the rest of the people sitting down at the table with his waved hand. ZeroNumberX: "Also, I DO recall someone thwarting our preceding attempts at nuking and "replacing" one of the enemy's bases, classified under an anonymous name, in this way..." ZeroNumberX pressed "play" yet again... (Previous Footage) ???: "You're SO gonna own the UEN, are you? All the violence... all the carnage... all the destruction... it is a pleasure to you... isn't it? Heeheehee..." ..... ???: "So... you have the advantage, do you? ...but the question is... do you WANT to have the advantage? Do you REALLY desire it to be this way? Heeheehee..." ........... ???: "Yeah... right! YOUR property, isn't it? You sure enjoy the tought of senseless slaughters and destruction, do you? Hahahaha... I can see it in your heart... the Hunters are wasting your potential... you could become a much, much greater destructive force... hahahaha..." -END OF TAPE RECORDING- ZeroNumberX: "And so there it was... this "Anonymous" individual, who we hadn't managed to catch his or her true name nor alias at the time, mouthing off to our General-in-command, Sgt. Mayhem, and tried to thwart our attempts by attacking him from his soul... or rather, the Linxys... bad mistake on *her* part. This led to Gradius taking the stand and setting up the entire UEN agents-hostage scenario by first stripping the victim of the UEN's basic powers: Soul Bind, Eternum, Power of Hatred, but apparently, that didn't stop her, either! Her response: ...... ZeroNumberX hit "Play" again... (Previous Footage) ???: "Hahahaha... very funny. Since when do gods actually waste their time fighting their own shadows? I am merely Sgt.Mayhem's own Evil side... if you tought that you succeeded in doing anything, then you are a fool! Face it Gradius, there is nothing the Hunters, the Legion of Doom, or even you can do. Even you, Gradius, is a servant of the UEN, without knowing it! We all are... it is just that we don't know it yet! Anyway... there is no way YOU can stop me from foiling that plan my other half made. The only one who can stop me is... myself! ...and my better half is way too weak to supress me!" -END OF TAPE RECORDING- ZeroNumberX: "What better way to spit in the Legion of Doom's faces, than to mock the very essence of our leader Seph, which in herself is the very essence of the Legion of Doom, to which, in return, is the essence of Naval Arms Reserve... yadayadayada! I think you get the point! Continuing on, it wasn't learned of this "Unknown" being's true alias until we managed to identify a user under the same name back on the LucifierX, which THIS "Unknown" user just so happened to reveal HER true self as being none other than... Death!" (Previous Footage) ??? *using telepathy*: "Oh no! You won't do that!" ......................... *sounds of a scythe cutting Vincent's throat* ??? *telepathy*: "See ya, loser!" ........... "Sir! Death reporting! Vincent was extracted from the LuciferXIII... but unfortunately, I was too late. Vincent has been reforged. I destroyed his current body in order to break the link between him and NeoBowser..." -END OF TAPE RECORDING- ZeroNumberX: "Both recordings happen to show much suspicion as they were BOTH tracked with the name ??? and Celebi is the only being in our database who keeps her true identity a secret for a certain period of time... in short, there's reason to believe that YOU, Celebi, were the one behind thwarting our "nuke the base" attempt... care to explain all this?!?!" Death: "But I'm a Double Agent working for both the..." ZeroNumberX: "I don't care if you're one of Gradius' servants or something! The bottom line is, and you may or may not have heard this already: if you choose to help these "Terrorists" out like that again, especially while they're in OUR own custody... you will be fired from this organization! Do I make myself clear?! As far as your "Anonymous" self goes, I feel I should fire you right now for the suspicious betrayals of our people regarding our taking out the UEN base alone, but I've got a better idea: since you seem to know so much about the UEN and their agents; after all, you ARE technically one... you will also be apart of that "special" lie detector test once we get it underway! Same rules apply, same consequences apply... now, enough bickering. I don't think I've fired one person yet ever since I became head of Naval Arms Reserve... but whatever you do, just don't make yourself the first..." ZeroNumberX paused... ZeroNumberX: "Celebi, I think we have an understanding... bye bye!" ZeroNumberX then left the room. (On Shooting Star Summit) Seph then stepped away from the Seal... Seph: "You heard the Spirit! We must shut down the Star Field before it's too late... in short, we must find that Lavalava Hammer!" Seph waited for Goombario's instruction.... (edited by Seph2k4 on 10-02-04 03:35 AM)

	Death teleported out of the room and appeared in the main Command Room... Zerodius: "He doesn't understand, does he?" Death: "Nope! He doesn't! ...and he DARED to call me by my mortal name!" Zerodius: "Did he... revealed the plan?" Death: "Unfortunately, he told me everything. I must now inform NeoBowser himself of the plan." Zerodius: "I see..." Death: "How long are you gonna hide them the truth? They MUST know... if they don't learn it, they'll continue making mistakes and then..." Zerodius: "Don't worry. I'm sure everything will be alright..." Death: "You know them just as well as I know them. You know that the second I'll tell them... the plan will become inneffective." Zerodius: "I know that. Don't worry... I was not stupid enough to tell them the secret plan..." Death: "Just make sure I learn it at the same time as the UEN, not before them, this time! That ZeroNumberX guy... he just doesn't know when to shut up! Worse, he tries his luck non-stop, defying the UEN as if he really stood a chance... if he continues like that, NeoBowser may order me to kill him and then..." Zerodius: "I know that. He will not give you this order. He'll never get the occasion to." Death: "Anyway... I fear that I just have to go now..." Death teleported away. Zerodius *thinks* The Legion of Doom are making mistake after mistake after mistake... I MUST inform them of their mistakes and make sure they don't repeat them. I should also speak with Gradius about his Lynxis. That last report Death made about them was... very important. Zerodius stared into the darkness of space... Zerodius *thinks* According to Death, the UEN was not even trying when they attacked. They are testing our patience, analysing our methods, probing for weaknesses... they probably have something big in store... I just hope it's nothing we can't handle... and why has the Guardians so quiet lately? Usually, they keep attacking us with all they got and never ever give us a break... What's going on? Zerodius opened a portal to Gradius' world and stepped inside... (edited by Zerodius on 10-02-04 11:11 AM)

	ZeroNumberX's eyes widened with rage... ZeroNumberX: "So that's how it is then... well, it doesn't matter what NeoBowser thinks, what NeoBowser wants Death to do... Death is apparently working for both sides and thus, must give them both what they want... and each side wants the other dead... how can Death agree on both? It's like this: any plan having to do with the UEN, Death thwarts, KNOWING it will cost her her job... that said..." ZeroNumberX then held Death's contract folder high in the air, and then tore it up, crumpled it and threw it in the recycling bin. ZeroNumberX: *telepathy* "Celebi... YOU'RE FIRED!! I don't care what her reason is for helping them out like this, thus thwarting our every plans doing it... it is the Policy of the Hunters/FALCONs NOT to cooperate with terrorist acts for ANY reason! Thus, there simply IS no excuse for thwarting our attempts at putting them to justice... Celebi has no business working with us if all she's going do to is give us the cold shoulder like this EVERY time we go after the UEN! And since I am head of the FALCON clan, only *I* have the power to give her her job back... and if only Death would listen to us for once, then maybe I would reconsider... MAYBE! But as long as she's no longer with us... " ZeroNumberX "whistle-called"... dozens of X Sentinels gathered before him. ZeroNumberX: "Guys... Death is at it again! This time, at the cost of her job! Now, she's using the fact that she is a "Double Agent" as an excuse for thwarting our plans regarding the UEN agents, just like before... only this time, she's going to let them in on every little detail involving this plan, which we simply cannot allow! So, it's up to you to stop her... Units 1, 2, and 3, you split up and track her down any way you can... I've got something special in mind for one of my other X Sentinels." X Sentinels (ALL): "Yes sir!" The X Sentinels then held up some sort of mechanical, hi-tech sniper riffle, pointed it's crosshairs on the "mapped" location of Celebi, and then fired... wherever this sniper fired to on the radar/map, it would create a portal leading to that location... in short, this allowed the X Sentinels (the G.M.C.s, not the Squids) to track Death down this way. (On Celebi's location...) The dozens of X Sentinels saw Death running towards the UEN's holdout... but before she could come within several acres of it, something stopped her walk! A blue, electrolight force field of pure impermeable energy! ...Suddenly, she heard a voice calling from behind her... she also saw thousands of NARC UAVs parked in a circle around her, and with hundreds of NARC soldiers with weapons coming out of them and aiming them right to Death's head! X Sentinel: "Calling Double Agent Death! This is your last chance! Surrender now, and we'll spare you at all cost... continue running and we will be forced to kill you without a fair fight... and I fear that not even the true Death, one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, such as yourself can withstand such a strong impass as the one that's blocking your trail! And for the record, ZeroNumberX HAS already fired you... but he may give you your Hunter job back if you give him reason to... you see, ZeroNumberX doesn't axe his employers like that so easily, so you must've done something terribly wrong... and we've been informed that you had done so, which is why we're here, before you, to give you a second and final chance at redemption! So... what's it gonna be?" (During this time, Sands of Time....) ZeroNumberX heard the loud rift upon access... this rift was much too predictable not to know who it had to have come from. Gradius: "May I help you, Admiral Zerodius?"

	Suddenly, ZeroNumberX received a transmission! Zerodius *transmission*: "This is Admiral Zerodius. You WILL let Death go, NOW! This is a direct order and has ABSOLUTE priority. Unsurbodination will NOT be tolerated and shall be punished by banishment to the Prison Dimension! Understood? Now... DO IT! ... no good idiot..." Zerodius turned back to Gradius. Zerodius: "Sorry for the interruption but ZeroNumberX just did the mistake I hoped he would NOT make... I believe that you do know why she serves both sides... anyway! I must speak with now about the Lynxis... I just finished analysing the way the Lynxis works..." A hollographic Lynxis appeared in front of Gradius... Zerodius: "There is a fatal flaw in the Lynxis. I've been analysing the effects of the Lynxis... and found that flaw in them when NeoBowser tried to take over the FALCON agents. It is a very serious flaw and yet, it is only when the Lynxis were used that I could see... and fortunately, the UEN did not find it. The flaw is really simple: The Lynxis makes the FALCON agents stronger and stronger artificially against possession, thus nullifying NeoBowser's influence on them... however, I found out that it also makes YOU vulnerable. If NeoBowser had used the Lynxis to bypass the FALCON agents and possess you, I fear that there would have been very little that we could have done to stop him." The hollogram began to glow red... it imitated how the FALCON agents' Lynxis reacted when NeoBowser tried to possess them! Zerodius: "As you can see, the Lynxis were designed to bring your Soul Energy toward the FALCON agents and stop a backward stream so that you wouldn't be possessed while you're vulnerable but... watch just to the left of the Lynxis... can you see it, it is a small stream of data created from the transfer. While the Lynxis themselves can't be bypassed, this stream can be used to track and locate you. While, in theory, it doesn't allow the UEN to possess you... in fact, it does allow them to. NeoBowser is linked to everyone's souls, may we like it or not. Becease of this, if he can locate a being, he can try and increase his hatred to possess him. Normally, it shouldn't work on you, since you're mentally strong and since such a blind mental attack is weak anyway... but the Lynxis nearly drain all of your strenght, thus making you vulnerable." The hollogram disappeared. Zerodius: "The flaw didn't seem that serious when we first found out about it... but... we received some critical info. Before detonating the bombs inside of the LuciferXIII, we had downloaded most of the data on their computers in a separate database... and found out that the reason was able to try and possess our troops while normally, NeoBowser must have eye contact with his target, is that they had finished something they call the "Soulnet". The Soulnet is a powerful device that makes the nature bond between all souls so strong that it allows NeoBowser to possess anyone when he wants to. These mental attacks on our troops were merely tests for the Soulnet. To me, it is obvious that they're trying to bring you down. You are the main source of the FALCON's defensive powers and if they can possess or kill you, then the FALCON's defenses will be down. We cannot afford that to happen. Until the flaw in the Lynxis' system has been corrected, I will ask you to break the connection between you and the FALCON agents. I will now return to the Lancer V2 and continue to decode the UEN database. Maybe the Soulnet's location is in the database. Destroying the Soulnet looks like our first priority right now..." Zerodius prepared to teleport outside of the Dimension but didn't entered the portal. He closed it and faced Gradius... Zerodius: "I had almost forgot! Gradius, do you have any important informations or questions? You see... ZeroNumberX is writting his report right now... but I need a report from both those who work on the scene and those who work behind the scenes..." ... During this time (Dimension 1, Shooting Star Summit)... ... Goombario: "The Lavalava Hammer, you say? After Ex Lightheart defeated Kamek, the Lavalava Hammer was returned to the Lavalava Mountain on Lavalava Island, to the south. The problem is... the Lavalava is a holy relic of incredible power and as such, to prevent evil ones from using it, it was sealed in a powerful force field that can only be lifted using the combined power of 8 people... and these 8 people are Mario's former companions! I am one of these 8 people, and as such I can break the seal... but not alone. We'll need to find the others if we are to break the seal. The closest of these remaining 7 people is Kooper, a blue-shelled koopa who lives in Koopa Village, at the end of Pleasant Path. Pleasant Path is a very nice place... but it was overrun last week by UEN forces. We'll have to prepare a bit before going there. Let's return to Toad Town for now, shall we?"

	Off: BIG surprise coming this post, mainly toward the end... any questions or concerns, just PM me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zerodius received a transmition right back... ZeroNumberX: "No... leave that to Gradius, whom I believe is the one person who TRULY knows Death... as being the traitor that she is! Hence working for both sides, I already fired her for being a backstabbing bitch! And unless she can give me a DAMN good reason for why I should give her her Hunters job back, she shall remain this way." Gradius seemed a bit "intimidated" by Zerodius' speech... Gradius: "Zerodius... you really are misunderstanding this whole concept. Incase you have not noticed, the footage ZeroNumberX portrayed earlier CLEARLY indicates that the unknown shadow being whom my patience has worn thin of earlier on was really Death herself, seeing as only she has the ability to keep her identity secret. First she mocked Sgt. Mayhem to death, then she harrassed the whole entire Legion of Doom acting as a UEN agent, to the point where I just couldn't take it, anymore... and decided to take care of her personally... but unfortunately, that wasn't enough for her. So then, she mocked ME.... which is a BIG no no! Telling me that it's in my nature to serve the UEN... I thought she would've learned by now that any true legend serves none other than him or herself! So then I decided to use the power of my Emerald of Doom that the UEN agents sealed against them to sic them into an unconscious state and tried to teleport them over to the Velvet Underground prison... and yet, when I tried to bring these terrorists to justice, Death YET AGAIN defied me and let them go, and without good clause! So, you see... ZeroNumberX has a VERY good reason for "firing" Death, and he, himself, EVEN WARNED both you AND Death that, if this behavior were to continue, that she would lose her job... there's no way she can take orders from both sides, anyway, if both sides are just willing to kill eachother! Say NeoBowser, from one side to the other, orders Death to kill one of OUR own agents, which was bound to happen at some point anyway; she'd be in the right place (inside the FALCON HQ) at the right time (when they are in the midst of planning another attack) for that. Infact, I wouldn't be surprised if Death were to for real turn her back on us when we'd least expect it! Also..." Gradius paused... Gradius: "I'm about to prove to the UEN why I shouldn't be their first target! Even IF they find a way to possess me somehow, I can very quickly and easily disrupt their Soulnet and/or their possession of my soul and thus, I've already come up with a counter attack to it... I'll show you what it is in just a seond. And as far as draining power goes, it doesn't matter if I put every ounce of strength left in me to make the Linxys... even if I lose legit sums of power, I can easily gain it back, because what you do not realize is that Gatekeeper Gods such as myself have endless supplies of power... we can use it any way we please and there is no limit to this power. Anyways, back to Death..." Gradius paused for another moment... Gradius: "ZeroNumberX is doing the right thing in keeping Ex out of reach of NeoBowser and the UEN; it's not what I think, it's what I know! Why? Because she for, again, no good reason, wants to let him in on every known detail regarding the FALCON's plans, which would once again disrupt any future attempts we make at bringing these criminals to justice, just like before. What Death does not understand is that these UEN agents DESERVE the punishment we are trying, but failing now thanks to one of your so-called "Agents", to give them. While I am a God, I am also Seph's "mentor" in a way, and Zero is her son, meaning I trust them, and they trust me back. ZeroNumberX has his reasons for taking such actions against Death, one of your ex-Double Agents, and I believed he summed them up very nicely. In short, I'm afraid I can't let you banish him into the Prison Dimension... or else I'll have to kill you, and I know that, if I can kill NeoBowser and the rest of the UEN, that I can definately kill you... I don't wish to kill you, but I will out of instinct if you do. Death has proven to me, and to the rest of us, that she is a traitor and thus, is getting what she deserves... and since this IS her second warning, I guess I'll have to kill her now like I said I would... OR, I could just let the FALCON agents do it for me! These other UEN agents may be terrorists... but Death is a terrorist in the making! Meaning we have no choice but to finish her off... once and for all... but Death is the least of our worries right about now... compared to the UEN's current plan, at least. I've got something for the UEN..." Gradius pulled out some gong-like object. Gradius: "An urn... a very special urn.... this urn is a powerful dispensor of energy that attacks the user from the soul using it's weakness or weaknesses with so much power that it's conscience will tell it to do whatever this urn commands it to, or else the soul will become immobilized and perished... and whatever command comes from me! And I fear that not even NeoBowser can withstand such powerful effects as the one coming from this urn. This should hold them off at least until the Soulnet has been immobilized... now..." (Back on Death's location) Suddenly, the NARC agents heard a voice coming from the Linxys! Gradius *transmition*: "People of the FALCON clan... this is it! Now's your chance! I've just about had it with Death... my patience for her has worn thin! In short... permission granted to assassinate her!" Suddenly, more NARC troops got out of the UAVs carrying weapons and one of them happened to be... Sgt. Mayhem? Sgt. Mayhem: "Alright, Death, that's it; that's the last straw! We have just received word that you are trying to foil our plans, meaning we'll have no choice but to take care of you personally... in short, you have 3 seconds to raise your hands high in the air and surrender!" ONE! All NARC troops held their fire, and their guns, directly at Death... (Back on Xavior) ZeroNumberX: "G.M.C. K17..." G.M.C: "Yes?" ZeroNumberX: "Here's the plan..." ZeroNumberX began to whisper it in it's ears, also mentioning "oh, and bring this urn with you..." G.M.C: "Yes sir!" Suddenly, moments later, Death walked out of the room carrying the urn (covered up inside black blankets), and then "teleported" to NeoBowser's location... or so it seemed. (During this time, Shooting Star Summit) Seph: "Alright... sounds good to me. Let's roll!" Seph hurried back to Toad Town, hoping Goombario would follow.

	Zerodius *transmission*: "FALCON clan, listen up! This is a direct order from your Admiral, Zerodius. You WILL cancel your attack on Death! Absolute priority! I repeat. Absolute priority!" Zerodius charged magical energy into his left hand... Zerodius: "Gradius... repeat after me. Zerodius is the leader of the Hunters, Gradius is not... and thus, Gradius must obey Zerodius! Understood? I had enough of the FALCON clan acting like stupid cowboys! You are Hunters, you are this world's guardians! You should... I mean, you must think BEFORE doing something! Death is a critical agent. Without her, we cannot prepare against the UEN's assaults. Guess what? The bomb that nuked the LuciferXIII was built using blueprints Death stole! The X Virus was designed thanks to DNA and Soul data that Death got! I could name so many more of our secret weapons that were created thanks to her... but you're a mere mortal. All of this is beyond your understanding." Zerodius paused... the magical energy took the form of a sphere! Zerodius: "I always knew that it was risky to give the FALCON clan such an important task. They are stupid bloodthirsty fanatics that shoot first and ask questions later. Furthermore, due to their chaotic nature, we determined that unless controlled directly, the FALCON clan has 99.99% chances of betraying us. In short, you are filled with so much hatred that people would think you are UEN soldiers, not Hunters. Fortunately, you do not serve NeoBowser... for now. I will now do one more futile attempt at trying to reason you." The spell disappeared... or so it seemed. Zerodius had only stocked it into his Arm Cannon as a bullet in case Gradius would try anything funny. Zerodius: "The life-form number D-73878 codenamed "Celebi" is no ordinary being... After analysis, we had found out that she was the very incarnation of the end of everyone's lives... in short, she's Death. She is not a Grim Reaper, she is not a Doom Spirit... she's Death, the one and only. However, Celebi has no control over her powers. Her mortal consciousness has no control over her inner, dark powers. For millenias, Celebi went on a rampage, killing all living things she met... against her own will. Her friends, her family, all those she cared for were consumed by her own power. In the end, we sealed her inner power by linking her to the Doom Scythe, a living scythe made of human bones that feeds on all the souls Death harvest. Thanks to the power of the souls the weapon eats, Celebi has gained the power to nullify her thirst for murder... but couldn't control her power. As such, Celebi can't choose her master. Now listen carefully. NeoBowser is the Absolute Evil and since the Absolute Evil is the Bringer of Death, then it means that NeoBowser and Celebi are natural allies, since NeoBowser's power summon Celebi and since Celebi's power keeps NeoBowser at full strenght. However, Celebi's mortal soul doesn't want to serve him... and she knows that once the Universe will be his, NeoBowser will take care of her. As such, she begged us to help her, to help her fight her own nature and destiny. While Celebi is forced to serve NeoBowser... it does not mean that she like him... or that she's forced to do her best helping him! As such, trought sabotage and spying, Celebi has helped us. Celebi's bond with NeoBowser can't be broken and we can't give her eternal peace, either. You have to understand that Celebi is a double-edged weapon... working both for us and against us. There is nothing we can do to change that... so you will have to accept it." Zerodius paused... Zerodius: "Well, I guess that's it. Gradius, I knew that the day would come when your loyalty to our cause would be tested... Have mercy upon this soul, Gradius. She will never, ever be able to be free. She will always suffer the fate of seeing all those she love die again and again and again... she will never be able to live a normal life becease of her destructive nature... and she will never, ever be freed of her pain by the eternal peace. Such is her curse... the curse of the Eternal Ones, beings that can never die... even you, Gradius, will die... and so will I... but not her. She has been cursed to eternal damnation... have mercy upon her and let her go... If you are unable to feel mercy for this poor soul... then I do not think that you deserve to help us." Zerodius *thinks* I know that you can read my toughts, Gradius, so listen well! If you can't feel mercy for Celebi... then you shall be kicked out of the Hunters and your memory shall be erased. It is necessary for the only possible result that those who lack virtue will get when fighting the UEN is fKitten Yiffer. The Guardians were once our FALCON clan... but their ambitions and lack of mercy turned them into sadistic monsters. Gradius... the FALCON clan seems to be following the Guardians' path... for it is very, very similar to what they once were... too similar to my taste. ... During this time... ... Seph & Goombario arrived at Toad Town... Goombario: "OK! Here we are! Toad Town! Now... where should we go next?" (edited by Zerodius on 10-04-04 06:27 PM)

	Sgt. Mayhem: *transmittion* "NEGATIVE! NEGATIVE! We are not authorized to carry out your request at this time. Alternative plan set and in action.* Sgt. Mayhem then hung up on his walkie talkie... He then turned to face the surrounding, yet swarming, NARC troops. Sgt. Mayhem: "HOLD YOUR FIRE!" The NARC troops aimed their crosshairs on their guns off of Death. Sgt. Mayhem: "Death... you can forget I ever threatened to kill you... YET! Instead, you shall explain, to all of us, why you have chosen this path and, depending on your response, we will choose to either release or arrest you... so, let's hear it!" (During this time, NARC HQ) ZeroNumberX: "The firing of Death led to a gap on the FALCON/Hunter's roster, so I thought that, with her gone, that I'd assign a replacement... someone who is handy with technology, blacksmithing, scientific research and engineering... may I be proud to present our NEW blacksmith/technician... Headhunter, weapons and swords perfectionist! Unless Death has a good reason for "walking out" on us and thus, I would be forced to let her back in... let's wait to hear her response." (During this time, Sands of Time) Gradius: "If there's one word that describes both our actions, it's this... misinterpretation. Yes, I do feel for Celebi/Death, and the many mistakes that have controlled and upheld her wretched past life... but then again, she's also been making the kind of mistakes here and there in her present life that are the very source of the current attack on Death. For instance, Death walking out on the fact that ZeroNumberX threatens to remove her of her job if she continues to do what he, himself, does not believe is right, just as you do for the rest of my allies... and that is helping their worst enemy... so much so, that they even created a Policy against it, and have printed it on Death's Hunters/FALCON contract before she signed it. That, and trying to tell the enemy of the FALCON's plans, which I could literally feel ZeroNumberX's pain he suffered from both his and Death's reaction to that. This is totally uncalled for, says me, Gradius, this is unnecessary, says the rest of the FALCONs to that. That is why ZeroNumberX has, despite the great things she has done for the Hunters, chosen to kick Death out of the Hunters club... and unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about it, because I get the feeling that you do not fully understand just how this 2-party organization works.... let me explain it for you." Gradius stopped... Gradius: "Unlike most joint organizations, where there is only one building, one boss, one chain, one community, there are a couple. There's ZeroNumberX, head of the FALCON party, and then there is, of course, you, head of the Hunters party. All FALCON and Hunters agents are employed by both, and each boss has equal power amongst both party's employers, yet no power against eachother... in other words, Zerodius, may you like it or not, you have no power to fire ZeroNumberX. As much as you want Death back in the Hunters, there is no way she can be rehired unless someone can somehow convince ZeroNumberX to rehire Death as well. Because, since this is a 2 party organization, recipitents must have their charter approved by both the Hunters and FALCONs in order to be hired/rehired to this club, which, in this case, Death's reemployment status would be approved by you, but rejected by ZeroNumberX, thus turning down her new job application unless he is convinced otherwise. Now, you should already know everything there is to know about the Hunters organization and their business habits, now let's talk the FALCONs'..." Gradius paused. Gradius: "The Hunters are sweet apple pie when it comes to business. The FALCONS, on the other hand, are an organization of strict business habits. They have rules for employment, rules that Death has, unfortunately, broken, thus leading to these events. Rules that, as strict as they may be, apply to both parties... even though Death was apart of the Hunters at the time, she could still, and infact, already has, gotten fired for voilating one of the policies of the other part, the FALCONs... the part of the Rules of Engagement which states that noone from either house shall cooperate with terrorists or clubs linked with terrorists in any way... you see, Death couldn't have any more seriously violated this clause if she tried. Not only did she free the UEN agents from the Velvet Underground without good clause and without paying bail for these crooks, another policy she violated, but now she's trying to let the UEN in on the FALCON's plan to bring them to justice once again for no apparent reason, which is another example of her violation of policies... the same one she was in violation of earlier. Like it or not, ZeroNumberX has the right, reserves the right, and has always had the right, to control business of both chains in this way, and it will always be that way for as long as he is apart of the FALCONs, which will, rest assured, be forever. More about Death..." Gradius paused yet again. Gradius: "Whatever the circumstances, I can change any and every aspect of Death I please, just as I can anyone else I feel the imminent desire for... including her own character. While she can't die now, I could easily change it so that she is not only mortal, but a mere human being... if I felt like it. I can also change the same aspects of the UEN agents just like... *snaps* that! Not to mention I can disrupt the Soulnet in a heartbeat in much the same way... which I won't do so because, while I want that Soulnet down as much as you do, I want to make sure the UEN suffer along with it, and that wouldn't be the case if I just shut it down by hand so... I'll just have the FALCONs, with the help of my urn, destroy it by attacking the UEN agents, every last one of them, from the soul. And with one of the FALCONs "secretly" in their presence, wielding the urn, their potential plans to possess anyone they please will come to an end in virtually any moment now. If Death could still come to the UEN's aid, the plan could easily be disrupted, but thanks to the impenitrable blockade set up by the NARC troops, she will be stopped before coming within several hundred acres of the UEN this time around, and there's nothing you, NeoBowser, or even I can do about it... after all, this is the FALCONs doing, and it is my job to interpret their actions and try not to be optomistic about them, but to understand them... me, I perfectly understand their reasoning behind all this." (During this time, NeoBowser's location) Death (clone): "Master NeoBowser... some news: Apparently, ZeroNumberX, #1 on your hit list, has fired me from my Hunters job for helping out you guys... "it's against policy" they say. So... now I'll take all my things I made specially for them that they took for granted against them... but first, allow me to elaborate on their so-called "plan" that they have in store for you..." Death stopped and waited to hear NeoBowser's response, whatever it may be. (During this time, Toad Town) Seph: "Isn't there a shop around here? See if we can conjure up a list of essentials for later on in this mission, and stock up if needed!"

	Off: I think that Gradius' explanation pissed off Zerodius... and I think that if the FALCON clan doesn't let Death go, there will be MAJOR trouble... ____________________________________________________________________ Zerodius stared at Gradius... Zerodius: "Yep... the perfect stereotype of the arrogant, self-confident "immortal"." Zerodius contacted ZeroNumberX Zerodius *transmission*: "I just spoke with Gradius about your policies and the way you act... and here are the comments from your Admiral!" Zerodius prepared for he was going to make a long speech... Zerodius *transmission*: "OK, here I come! Earth to idiot: I am the Admiral, you are not and as such, you must obey me. The FALCON clan is NOT a separate organisation from the Hunters, there are a part of the Hunters and as such must obey the orders of their superiors... and that superior is me, NOT you. It is direct and very impolite... but it is the truth. Personally, I am sick of your stubborness. You fail to understand that the world isn't made of just black and white. You also fails to understand that you're not the master of the entire Universe and that I could kick your sorry a** anytime I want... and so can NeoBowser! You're even more pathetic to my eyes than the Guardians!" Zerodius didn't seemed happy at all... Zerodius *transmission*: "I have NO respect for your FALCON clan. All that you have shown me yet is that you're stupid brainless cowboys that are unable of thinking before acting and are totally possessed by their own feelings. In fact, if I could, I would have only called Seph and would have let your FALCON clan rot on your little homeworld!... but unfortunately, I needed your X Sentinels and X Virus to neutralise the UEN first waves... The Hunters have been far too kind to you. We have let you use our ships... use our troops... we supplied you with information... with equipment also... and when we ask of you to let our agents, no matter how weird they may seem, do their jobs, you spit in our faces act as if you were the bosses? We really do appreciate this! You know, it took a mighty long time to make sure Death would be on our side!... and what you don't know is that we already knew that she leaked information to them. She just can't help it, becease of her nature so we simply made a little plan to counter-act it. HOWEVER, that plan require the cooperation of all agents... and this include the FALCON clan!... but the FALCON clan just can't obey to orders, can't they? Oh! Look at me! I'm a member of the FALCON clan! I'm so great, so powerful, so invincible, so perfect! HAHAHA! ... Seriously, the FALCON clan disgust me..." Zerodius turned to Gradius... Zerodius: "...and so do you! You are COMPLETELY hopeless... Unlike what you may believe, you are NOT all-powerful. All that I have to do is say a word and a number and POOF! Here goes the so-called almighty Gradius! Know, Gradius, that while your powers do help us... we can easily replace you so... stop acting as if you were so powerful and everything! You're not the most powerful being ever, get over it!" Zerodius resumed his transmission with ZeroNumberX. Zerodius *transmission*: Well now that you know that the Hunters are out of patience... will you FINALLY decide yourself to ask your little FALCON clan to cooperate... or is the hard way for you?" Zerodius paused... Zerodius *transmission*: "ZeroNumberX, you may think you're powerful and everything... but I dare you to try to fight the UEN without our help! I dare you! You won't last even a single day! So... I suggest that you choose to cooperate unstead of forcing the Hunters to take direct control of your troops using brute strenght! Yep, we're the good guys... but even the good guys have a limit to their patience!" Zerodius tought for a while... Zerodius *transmission*: "Also... just a little fact for you: Death is a Hunter agent, not a FALCON clan agent. You have no authority on her... in fact, she's the one to have authority on you since the FALCON clan is under the Hunters' juridiction. Not happy with that? Good! Meet me at the Lancer V2 briefing room and we'll break the alliance and either forge a new one, either take back the equipment we gave you and return you to your homeworld!" Zerodius standed there... Zerodius *thinks* I wonder if I have been a bit too harsh... Yes, they're chaotic and immature... but they still bring results and show potential. It's not becease they're immature now that they'll always be... ... During this time... ... Death: "You don't understand... I can't help it if I'm helping the UEN... my power force me to do so... I do my best to fight it out by helping the Hunters as much as I can... but my nature is what is is... and I tought that you were agents! You're supposed to know that! You know that if you don't let me go, something terrible will happen... but Zerodius already told me and I saw it for myself! You're stupid and immature. Unable to understand that sometimes, it can't go the way you want..." NeoBowser *using telepathy*: "Death... what are you waiting for? Come back to base and give me my report ASAP! ...or I will come get it myself!" Death: "I really... REALLY have to go now. Let me go..." ... During this time... ... NeoBowser smiled... NeoBowser: "You're merely a clone. BEGONE!" ETERNUM! The clone was instantly destroyed. NeoBowser *using telepathy*: "Death... what are you waiting for? Come back to base and give me my report ASAP! ...or I will come get it myself!"

	Off: BIG surprise coming this post... it looks as though NeoBowser had fallen into a trap... a very deadly one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ZeroNumberX: "So much emotion over nothing... in all honesty, I WAS gonna let Death go eventually, but after that speech, I can't believe I am about to do it... but nonetheless I am. The fact of the matter is: it's such lewdness like that which sparked the past rivalry between Ex Lightheart and Seph/Legion of Doom... that is what Gradius meant by "misinterpretation". You just look at us wrong... all of us. Sure at times we don't think before we act... yet also, you don't think before criticizing us much the same... so, what makes you any different from us in that respect? Not to be mean, but seriously, there's the old saying "don't judge a book by it's cover". I know it may sound childish, but relevant nonetheless. And you know, it doesn't have to be like this... if we REALLY wanted to, we could just quit the Hunters and do our own thing, but we won't for safety measures. As for NeoBowser, I get the feeling he's in for one hell of a surprise... feast your eyes!" Unfortunately, that Eternum spell didn't kill the Death clone because it wasn't who he had suspected it would be... The clone exploded upon impact and then, the true being finally showed itself! BUM BUM BUM! A yellow and blue ninjac being that has crossed Sub Zero and Scorpion (Mortal Kombat) together, both costumes, masks, and face! Half Sub Zero, half Scorpion... alias, Sub Scorpion. Sub Scorpion: "Surprised to see me, NeoBowser? I am Sub Scorpion, the 2 Mortal Kombatants fused together to form one being, and a former incarnation of Seph, but like Mewthree, the FALCONs decided they wanted to recreate me, so I followed in Mewthree's footsteps... and here I am! And since I was created using both the FALCONs and your own UEN agents DNA, I can't be killed... just yet, anyway! Anyway, you can forget about that report, because I am here for one thing and one thing only... to bring my clan's fiercest rivals to justice!" Sub Scorpion then uncoveted the blanket... and wielded out one hand, which was carrying none other than Gradius' urn! This was a god forsaken urn of holy power that is said to be the source of Gradius' power... there is not one being alive in this universe, not even NeoBowser, that can resist it's undisputably strong power. Sub Scorpion: "NeoBowser... time to feel the pain... the pain we've suffered through your mixed emotions and relentless havok! You're the reason for all the hatred in this world, the reason for our passionate hatred towards the UEN and the Guardians... time to give in to the light!" Gradius' urn then shun with so much power that it began to sink into NeoBowser's soul... And then, in a matter of seconds, the urn started to glare orange and then, NeoBowser started to cringe in pain, standing on both knees. So much pain, infact, that the soul felt it could not take much more of it already! Sub Scorpion: "Now let's show you, and the rest of the UEN, just how WE feel about you trying to take over US! Telling us that it is in our purpose to serve you... which is a lie. Look at Death. You told her that she was destined to serve you, and she did... but then again, you said the same of us and yet, not one of us are doing the same! If it were TRULY our destiny to serve you, both the FALCON clan and Hunters would've already done so a long time ago... and that obviously didn't happen, and it won't ever happen if I can help it! And don't bother waste any more energy from your already weakened soul and try to fire back at me with another one of your senseless babble... your conscience is telling you otherwise as I speak and, if you don't do as your conscience tells you, your soul will be sealed right into this urn... for all eternity!" NeoBowser's conscience started to speak to NeoBowser's soul... NeoBowser's conscience: "NeoBowser... don't fight back... you... will... die... horrible... painful... death! Your soul will become one with Gradius' urn... so, listen to me. Give into... the light... listen to Gradius.... stop the pain and suffering." Suddenly, NeoBowser, tortured and wrecklessly weakened almost to death by such a powerful urn, heard a voice! (Gradius's voice): "NeoBowser... listen to me... LISTEN TO ME, OR I WILL HAVE THE PLEASURE OF SEALING YOUR DECAYING SOUL INTO MY URN AND KEEPING IT... FOREVER!!! Do as I say, or I will gladly take out whatevers left of it's life force... as you can see, your soul won't last much longer at this rate... you can save it by following this order... shut down the Soulnet, every last bit of it, and then, and only then, shall the pain and suffering soon prosper. And believe me when I tell you that this is the ONLY way the relentless pain will flourish! And you know what else? You're not the ONLY one feeling this pain... look around you!" Suddenly, all the other UEN agents were down and cringing as well. As for them, Gradius was not speaking telepathically to them via the urn... instead, they literally knelt down and were bowing to it as if they were being possessed or something... so much so, infact, that they couldn't even control their own actions! Fierce Diety: "The UEN are no longer necessary..." Assassin: "I can't take it any more!" Captain Dark: "WE ARE WORMS!" Lt. Shadow: "No, not worms, but..." Fierce Diety: "SLAVES!" (ALL): "AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Suddenly, light energy particles started to commense from the urn and then, all of the UEN agents were sucked right into it's seal in the form of a laserlight! While they weren't dead, they were sealed into this urn until someone with the given power would decide to let them free. Sub Scorpion: "There goes the UEN agents... we'll be storing them away for our own 'safe keeping'... anyways, NeoBowser, it's do or die for you! You can choose to live, shut down the Soul network, and forever be freed of this urn's influence, or you can choose to "have your own way", and let yourself fade into the darkness! And don't even think about trying your tricks on the keeper of this urn because, the second you call out Gradius' name and try to possess him, your soul will be sucked into this urn within .00000594 seconds of you possessing him. Death..." Sub Scorpion turned around to face Death, urn in his hands... Sub Scorpion: "Wrong place, wrong time, wrong person... may I point out that, when you tried to report to NeoBowser, you were falling into an obvious trap! I merely disguised myself as you to fool him! Thus, this place has been entirely arbitrated by none other than Gradius, meaning there is nothing you, the UEN agents, or even NeoBowser can do about it... make one mistake, and it will cost you dearly. Any which way you look at it... it's mission accomplished for us."

	Off: MAJOR mistake. Good for you that Death was there or else, it would have been an end-of-world post! In this post, you shall see what was the flaw in the trap... and also, I hope that unless Gradius had other power sources besides that urn for if he doesn't, he's out of the story (reason: physical death)! ____________________________________________________________________ Zerodius *transmission*: "NO! YOU JUST DID A MAJOR MISTAKE!!!" Suddenly... NeoBowser felt that his power was returning... no... it wasn't returning... it was actually growing... and it was growing fast! All the pain was filling him with hatred... and hatred gave him power. NeoBowser: "YOU... SHALL... LEARN... TO... RESPECT... YOUR... NEW... MASTER!!!" NeoBowser was encased in a a purple flame. It wasn't since the Apocalypse that he had been so powerful... NeoBowser: "PURE... PAIN... AND... HATRED!!!" NeoBowser's shell began to break apart... and divided itself into a pair of wings! NeoBowser's skin turned to a gold color and his body began to grow as he assumed the form of some kind of winged snake demon... AbsoluteBowser: "I... AM... ONE... WITH... EVERYONE'S... HATRED..." AbsoluteBowser grabbed the urn and held it in his hand... the pain and hatred that flowed from it filled him with power... AbsoluteBowser: "ULTIMATE... POWER... MINE... GRADIUS... IMMINENT... DOOM..." AbsoluteBowser roared in rage as his overwhelming power took over Gradius, without leaving him any chance to retaliate... ... During this time (inside Gradius' mind)... ... Gradius was chained to a large rock. In front of him, AbsoluteBowser was floating... AbsoluteBowser: "You have did exactely what I had always seeked to do... you fused my soul with everybody's pain and hatred, purifying me from my mortal body's disadvantages... now, thanks to you, I am TRULY the Absolute Evil... Now, I shall take pleasure into torturing your soul and forcing you to watch the consequences of what you just done... I won't even need to harm you. I'll just watch you feel pain as you realise that you just doomed yourself and your people..." Zerodius *using telepathy*: "Sorry to break your party but the Hunters got a little trick for you!" ... During this time (LuciferXIII, NeoBowser's room)... ... Death (the real one) teleported in front of AbsoluteBowser! Death: "I know that you'll punish me... but I'm really sorry boss but I must do so!" Death took her scythe and... SLASH! AbsoluteBowser: "NOOOOOOOOOO!!! MY ULTIMATE POWER!!!" The urn was cut in two by Death's attack! The pieces fell to the ground and shattered, freeing the UEN agents. AbsoluteBowser standed there for a while and then, he reverted back to his normal form. NeoBowser: "NOOOOOOO! My precious ultimate power... what did you done, Death?!? I had the very key to our ultimate victory in my hand... and you shattered it!" Death: "I had to free your agents. What good is it for you to conquer the world if there's nobody left to worship you?" NeoBowser: "...You do have a point... but I can't let that slide so easily! Death, you're getting yourself a free pass to the torture rooms!" Death: "I know that and in fact... I don't care. I'm Death, no matter how much you harm this body, I can't be killed!" NeoBowser: "Don't defy my authority, Death! While you can't die... remember that you're still no match for me! While I can't kill you physically, I can easily kill you mentally!" Death: "Yeah yeah... I got it..." Fortunately for Sub Scorpion, NeoBowser hadn't noticed him yet. It was probably his only chance at escaping... ... During this time (Gradius' Dimension)... ... Zerodius approached Gradius... with his very source of power gone, Zerodius espected Gradius to vanish soon... Zerodius: "Gradius... such is your end. With your power source gone, you shall disappear soon. In short, you are dead, Gradius. However... you aren't completely gone yet. If you can accept the fate of a mortal and cling hard enough to your mortal side... then you shall be reborn as a simple mortal. Sure, you won't be as strong as before and even if you do are reborn as strong, it will take millenias to reach full power again. Also, if you have emergency power sources, you can always use them to extend the amount of time that your current form will hold. Anyway... I hope that you and ZeroNumberX learnt something from this. You couldn't kill NeoBowser becease that you tried to overcharge him with hatred and pain. NeoBowser is almost entirely made of pain and hatred, attacks such as this one merely makes him stronger. If Death wouldn't have destroyed the urn... the UEN would have conquered us all and all that was once good in this Universe would have disappeared. Yes... my speech was harsh... but I was right, in the end... unfortunately. Your cause is simply destruction... vengeance... such causes lead nowhere. You already have a much noble cause... but you don't accept it. You let your hatred lead you... Should you survive the loss of your immortality, I hope you will learn, Gradius..." Zerodius *transmission*: "ZeroNumberX? Are you OK? I want to compliment you about your plan... FOR BEING THE SINGLE WORST IDIOT I EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! Striking NeoBowser with pure pain and hatred... HOW DID YOU GOT SUCH AN IDEA?!? NeoBowser can't be harmed by these forces! He's MADE of these forces! If I hadn't sent Death to break the urn... we would be all dead by now! Just for this, I should fire you from the Hunters! ... no... this is far too kind! You deserve banishment to the Prison Dimension!... but I won't punish you. It's not becease you made one mistake that you deserve punishment. Yes, that's the SINGLE MOST STUPID MISTAKE I EVER SEEN!!! ...but that's still one mistake. However, ZeroNumberX... if you EVER do something like that ever again... you WILL be punished and to make things worse for you, I'll deliver the punishment myself! Heard? Now to talk about business..." Zerodius paused. Zerodius: "ZeroNumberX... altought your troops are supposed to be part of the Hunters... you quite never acted like Hunters. Acting without ever consulting the others... never taking care of other clans within the Hunters... placing your feelings before our Cause... in fact, you sound more like an UEN faction than a Hunters clan. However, you have something that the UEN factions don't have... You can change. You can repair your mistakes and change your point of view. It is very hard but I will ask you to ask for my advice before launching major operations starting now. We were lucky this time. Death was in a perfect situation to intervene... it won't always be like that however. ZeroNumberX, the fKitten Yiffer of your operation and the fall of your main ally, Gradius, should have tought you a very important lesson... You can't act alone and you need a better cause than just personnal vengeance... Also... you spoke about the Hunters being identical to the FALCON clan... I shall now tell you the differences. We have a superior cause, we just doesn't use allies as ways of getting more men or more technology... they're true allies that fight alongside us. Also... we are able to forgive others when they make mistakes... and we do accept the fact that we do mistakes. Even I do mistakes. One of the major mistakes I did recently was surely to accept the FALCON clan within our ranks so early... you hadn't been properly trained mentally yet... you were not ready to face the UEN. I will now ask you to sit back and let the Hunters do their jobs. Stand back and think about the purpose of the FALCON clan... and also about their methods. Also... ZeroNumberX, I will ask you this very simple question... do you care about your father, Seph?" (edited by Zerodius on 10-06-04 11:05 PM)
