| 'C'mon, lets get out of here!' Zeta yelled, jumping the bodies of the guards and running for the door. 'Wait. Zeta, we've found them.' B3 said as the crackle of electricity died down. She turned round, 'No way...' She finally saw what B3 had been staring at. From a large glass container emanated a mysterious glow, and inside it were the Zoni. They floating effortlessly, seemingly unaffected by the previous chaos. Blue walked over to the cage, and quickly shorted the electrics of the security system. The glass panels slid downwards and the Zoni flew out, hovering above their heads. Zeta stared at them, she had never seen anything quite like this. She dragged her mind back to the current situation, and tore her eyes from the circling Zoni. 'Okay, where now?' 'Not sure, but lets get out of this base.' B3 replied, looking up the ladder for any guards. 'Hey, what about that?' Zeta pointed towards another door, further back into the lab. She looked through, a narrow corridor headed upwards, towards what looked like daylight. B3 grinned. 'Shortcut?' ((Thats all for now, its been weirdly quiet recently.

| ((sorry it's short)) Zim stands up, shaking in anger and grief. Mercuy, Ched, and Hank come bursting into the room. Ched looks up as the others are still catching their breath. "Oh no..." He hurries to the opposite side of the circular room to see GDN on the ground, a bullet hole through his front and a pistol at his side. Ched then notices a blue hooded figure laying on the icy floor a few feet away, unmoving. "What...What happened here?" Ched hesitates before asking. "Take him back to the Sony base...I'll take care of the rest when I get back." Zim then turns to Hank and Mercuy standing at the door in disbelief. "Hank, go with Ched. As for you, Mercuy...Go back to your own base. I don't want anything to do with you, and I have to do this on my own." Ched carefully pulls GDN onto his back. Hank gets out his radio and contacts the other Helghast for a ride back to the base as they exit the room, but Mercuy doesn't move or say a word. Zim puts the Console in her backpack and turns towards the doorway, but stops as she notices something on the ground. She kneels down and brushes away a layer of snow to see a small object, its metal surface reflecting the rays of sunlight shining through the thin ice ceiling. Zim picks it up and heads to the exit, cane in one hand and a dogtag necklace in the other. | 2010-12-23 22:54:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |

Ontom's face was numb and the freezing wind blew through his body, as though he was a transparent being. Visibility was nearly zero. Mass amounts of snow fell across the arctic. His partner, Nathan drake, drove up on his snow mobile behind him. "IS IT HERE?" He shouted over the noise of the blizzard. "ITS DIRECTLY BELOW US!" Ontom shouted back. "WHAT?" "I SAID ITS DIRECTLY BE-" Ontom froze when he heard a loud crack. "WHATS WRONG?" "DID YOU HEAR THAT NATHAN?" Ontom's heartbeat quickly increased. "NO WHAT WAS IT?" "A CRACK! I HEARD A LOUD CRACK!" "A CRACK?" "YES A CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Ontom shouted out in fear as the two treasure hunters and their snow mobiles fell through the ice. The Ice cold water pierced through his clothing but he couldn't scream underwater. Ontom desperately tried to escape the machine but his leg was caught in it. Down down down they went into the abyss... | 2010-12-23 23:14:00 Author: TheBlackKnight22 Posts: 695 |

| ((Sorry for the delay, I went overboard on this post..)) Their transport arrived as Hank had requested and was hovering besides the snowy cliff the two were standing on. However loud the blades of the helicopter were, spinning about it's axis with it's furious whirring noise; Ched could hear nothing but the melancholy silence that remained in his mind. He was hoping that no lives were to be lost during their climb upon Everest, that the war would be done with once and for all.. but as the Legend had stated, there could only remain one. The doors of the helicopter flung open, revealing a Helgan soldier signaling them in quickly with a hand gesture as the altitude and blizzard was too much for the helicopter to handle at once. Ched gently brought GDN off of his back and with the help of Hank, they carried him onboard the helicopter first. Hank was next as he climbed into their only means of returning back home. He stared at the body of the lifeless soldier, laying there inside the helicopter as the medics frantically rummaged about their health packs, doing their best to clean up the blood that had stained his clothes. He slowly closed his eyes and opened them. He was standing in the middle of Old Natal, the death of many lingered about as the painful memories came searing back into his skull. But there was a new body that differed in clothing among the rest of them. Ched walked over to get a closer look, and saw that a old rusted dogtag was hanging around his neck. He crouched down and lifted it up with a finger, and attempted to read the worn out print. GDN Sony Commander He brushed the soot off of the soldier's face. Ched took off his cap with one hand, placed it on his chest and closed his eyes as he bowed his head down in honor. He lifted his head back up and opened his eyes, returning to reality as the silence was replaced with the sound of the helicopter blades. The Helgan troop motioned him to climb in with an outstretched hand; Hank doing the same. Ched began to walk forward but stopped halfway and hesitated as he thought about the lives of all that had been lost in this reckless war of theirs. Now was his chance to help end it all.. His decision had been made up in his mind. "You guys go without me!" Ched yelled over the fierce winds of the blizzard. "What?! I thought you said for us to go without you?!" Hank yelled back. "I did!" He began to walk back but was interrupted by Hank. "But.. but why?!" "Now is not the time to explain; the helicopter won't last much longer here. Just go!" "Well take this with you!" Hank tossed back Ched's ol' canvas bag from the helicopter. Ched held it in his hands, it seemed to be a lot heavier than usual, but the scratches and tears still remained. "You'll need it! Good luck soldier!" "You too!" Hank bid him farewell as the helicopter took off, leaving behind Ched's only means of transportation. ((tl;dr: Ched decides to stay behind as Hank travels back with GDN; yeah I know, it's a pretty short explanation for such a long post.)) | 2010-12-24 06:41:00 Author: Cheddars Posts: 447 |
| ((heh, seems as though it's my turn now)) Mercuy stood in the icy cave, Zim tried to walk toward the temple entrance, but turned to see him still standing there, she didn't say a word, but turned back and hoped he would leave. "Zim, you're forgetting the last part of the legend of the Console." Zim immediately stopped in her tracks, and slowly turned her head back towards Mercuy. "And what would that be." "an unlikely hero will come and assist in the success of the prophecy." She still remained standing in the same spot, silent, until finally, a single word came. "And how do I know you aren't going to betray me and take the Console." "Have to trust someone to be betrayed." Mercuy then walked closer to Zim, his left hand coming up to grip his weapon, and his eyes meeting hers "You don't have to trust me." Zim was silent once more, a grim look coming across her face, as if she was going to shoot him right there, but drew her attention to the door straight ahead, 2 slots were on the door, one for a cane, another for a rifle that matches the one in Mercuy's hand... ((There was going to be another part of the legend with Ched, but I'll save that part until he shows up.)) | 2010-12-24 07:30:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| Zim places her cane into the opening as Mercuy does the same with his rifle. The ground shakes as the heavy stone door opens, but it doesn't reveal a room - Instead, it leads outside, a harsh snowstorm blowing across the landscape. Zim steps outside, Mercuy then following. He quickly glances around. "Uhh...Weren't we supposed to get new weapons or something?" "Not this time." Zim looks up at the jagged black rocks on the side of the mountain and notices that they lead upwards, but the swirling snow and fog make it difficult to see. "Looks like we're going to have to climb." She trudges through the snow and approaches the wall, then getting a grip on one of the rocks and pulling herself up. Mercuy follows suit and inches along each small rock, lagging behind Zim. The two of them climb for several minutes, but the blizzard only gets worse. Zim tries to ignore the extreme cold. The path seems to be endless, the rock steps aren't very wide, and the scenery looks the same even after what seemed like an hour of trekking, but Zim keeps her eyes focused ahead. After several more minutes, Mercuy notices a rope to his left, hanging from the side of the mountain and seeming to originate from a ledge higher up. "Hey!" He shouts over the whistling wind. Zim descends a few steps to meet him, and he points to the rope. "It was probably left by another climber." He tugs on it a few times to make sure it's secure. Mercuy grips it tight and plants both feet firmly into the snow, then begins to trudge up the side of the mountain as Zim follows behind. | 2010-12-24 08:01:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |

| Hank looks outside the chopper's window. Two medics are taking care of GDN's body. He asked: - How long until we reach safe territories? - Two or three hours... - Well, we better go faster then... He glances outside again. He looks at a light in the distance. Upon looking closer into it, he notices it's a missile. - Incoming missile! Hang on!!! It hits the chopper, making it crash on the ground. After a while, Hank and the crew wake up and notices GDN's body is gone. There are some footprints coming from the crash, and some tracks on the ground. Apparently two people dragged something out of the crash. - Do you think that someone got him? - I don't know... I'm calling for a rescue, they'll soon arrive. - Aren't we going to look for GDN? - I'm afraid that we don't have time for this... His men won't be happy...

| ((Gotcha Mercuy,)) Ched arrived back at the temple and was surprised to find that Mercuy and Zim were nowhere to be found. He went for his knife, cautiously checking around the area incase any of the cult's members had managed to survive and taken them both hostage. As he traveled further and further into the temple, he noticed that the air around him was growing colder and colder. Ched slid his knife back into it's belt and started to rub his hands together, trying to produce some warmth between them. His breath left a small icy white trail in the air; clearly something wasn't right here. He turned a corner and saw a wide opening in one of the walls. The hole was big enough for someone to travel through and was rectangular in shape. Peering through the opening, Ched saw another snowy landscape before him where he suspected had been the reason behind all the cold throughout the temple. The corridors came to a close which left him no other choice but to climb through the hole. The fog was extremely heavy around this area which threw him off and he slammed straight into the rocky side of a mountain, causing him to pass out onto the snow. ((^ Which hopefully will explain my absence from posting. ))"Pffthp.. pffth!" The snow had piled on top of him while he was unconcious and made him a living snowman. After brushing off the rest of the snow from his body, he felt his head and found an extremely sensitive bump that had emerged from his scalp. He stood up, his body feeling numb all over from the cold and looked up at his attacker. The fog had cleared up a bit, revealing a large snowy mountain. "That.. looks fun." He brought his foot up onto one of the shorter rocks and gripped a ledge above him. He had acrophobia just from looking up at the steep climb before him, but he shook off the feeling and started his way up. | 2010-12-27 00:56:00 Author: Cheddars Posts: 447 |

| "See anything yet?" "Nope, still just fog and snow, and... cold." "C'mon, just ignore it, the top can't be that much further" Mercuy's words were soon lived as the peak of the mountain was now within reach, flags still stood atop the snow, waving in the wind, but other than that, there was nothing there. "Great, we climb all this way and there's nothing here." "There has to be something here, hopefully something heated." The two of them stood in the cold, pondering the stones, and snow of the summit, but there was nothing to be found. "Well, I'm stumped, maybe there's some sort of-" "Shhh..." Zim swiftly stops Mercuy mid sentance as she hears what sounds like footsteps, coming up the side of the mountain. "I hear footsteps... coming from where we came up." "Blue Cult?" "dunno, thought they would've given up by now." Mercuy drew his pistol as the steps became louder, and then the figure came into view, he was about to pull the trigger until he realized who had trekked through the blizzard. "Ched? what are you doing back here?" "Well, Zim, I came back to help" "oh, of course! how did I forget earlier?" "What Mercuy?" "The last part of the Legend, A third will come, in your time of need, to put together the next piece of the puzzle." "Well, what does that mean then?" Almost right on queue, the three hear a rumbling beneath thier feet, and the snow blows aside to reveal a platform with the Atari emblem in gold, descending back into the mountain.

| The Microsoft spaceship descended through the airlessness of Europa, it split into two small jets, each carrying a Metal Cylinder the size of a small Room, They both landed on the poles of the moon and dropped their cargo, Matthews emerged, clad in a specially engineered spacesuit that stopped the cold and lack of Atmosphere, he quickly inputted the password whilst larger ships dropped Huge facilities onto the ice, So tall they poked into space, Huge solar sails expanded and began transmitting the suns energy to the Large Round Cylinders, The Cylinder expanded and dug about a metre into the ice before a long pole extended from It's top,* "Activate" Matthews said through his headpiece, A long shaft of Orange Light extended from both the poles, heating up the oceans, Vast Magnets activated as Numerous Gas ions were released, the huge structures of metal sank slowly down until they were a few metres above the sea level they quickly spouted red hot magma mined from nearby Io which quickly cooled and formed land... Slowly Europa was Terraformed. After the day long process had finished Matthews unsealed his helmet and looked at the growing green paradise as The Microsoftians colonised it, Jack couldn't be found and so had to be left...

| ((And on the 71st page, Blue said "Let thar b toast" and he toasted in epic bread, and he saw that it was good.)) The two made it out of the facility without much drama - a few shots here and there from Blue knocked out any guards they came across. Wherever they went, the three Zoni followed, hovering in the air, talking amongst themselves in their own language. As the group came near the Jeep, Blue suddenly collapsed. Zeta rushed over to see Blue unconscious, but before she could do anything, he opened his eyes again. The Nintendo solder looked very tired, and much weaker than normal. "Urgh," he moaned slowly lifting himself up. "What's wrong," Zeta asked, "did you get hurt in there? Are you alright?" He blinked groggily in response. "No, I'm fine," he said sleepily, "but I'm out of juice. Frying the lab guards drained the last sparks I had. We need to find someplace I can recharge." Zeta helped Blue get to the passenger seat and then looked at her holo-map. "Rest up," she said, "we're about twenty minutes away from the nearest town." Blue faded out as Zeta started up the car. | 2010-12-28 13:48:00 Author: Voltergeist  Posts: 1702 |

| ((All righty... http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b408/DizzyZebra/images-10.jpg ))The jungle was thinning, and thankfully the roads were improving as they headed across Microsoft territory. They were still in an isolated area, so no guards had yet noticed their presence. Zeta had shut down most of the technology for now in the hope it would hide them from detection by Microsoft's large network of monitoring beams. Luckily from the holomap's information the town wasn't too large, and with its closest neighbour a base that shouldn't even exist, it was a fair guess that Microsoft wouldn't want to draw much attention with unnecessary security. Soon they were out of the trees completely and travelling across some kind of desert, upon what seemed to be the only road for miles. 'Whoa, lucky Microsoft thought to have somewhere to pick up supplies, or we would be pretty stuck.' She said. B3 opened one eye and gave a noncommittal grunt. Right, maybe I should hurry up. Zeta thought, she knew how drained he could get if he used up all his powers. Only a few guards patrolled the borders of the town, stopping them for a moment to scan the car. Silently Zeta plugged the sensor bar into the controls, hiding all weapons from detection. What a absolute shame they don't just check the boot anymore... Zeta thought to herself as they passed into the town. ((Thats all for now.)) | 2010-12-28 17:17:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |

| They entered the town around noon, it was too hot for anyone to be outside so the streets were strangely quiet. Luckily for them, it meant B3 could recharge unnoticed. The Zoni still hovered above their heads, vanishing when anyone had looked their way. B3 shot a spark from his finger, 'Better.' he said. 'Right, so now where to?' Zeta said, scuffing her shoes in the dust. They couldn't afford to stay in one place for long while in a Microsoft zone. ((I only had a little more to do, you can carry on now B3.)) | 2010-12-31 10:32:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |
| ((Alrighty, I'm gonna be coming up with how to begin this endgame. I've got the main idea down, but I need to figure out how to kick it off.)) | 2010-12-31 16:37:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |
| ((bumpchan.gif)) The moment Blue had recharged, the Zoni seemed to take notice. One turned to the other two and said something Blue couldn't entirely make out, but which sounded like "It is time." Zeta turned to Blue, who shrugged. The Zoni turned and faced them, and suddenly Blue was in the air, being pulled up, like an alien abduction. Blue found himself transfixed, but Zeta immediately started yelling. "Blue!" she shouted, but it was no use. The Zoni lifted him up, and then in a flash they were gone. After everything we've gone through... to have my friend just taken like that... A long minute passed before it fully hit her. Zeta was alone, in hostile territory. She felt like breaking down, giving up. But that would do nothing... it wasn't what Blue would have wanted. Zeta headed back towards the car, unsure of what she could do. ((I'll be in contact with Dizzy on where we're going with this.)) | 2011-01-02 20:45:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |
| ((Sorry for delay, been shopping. Well toast soon-ish. *edit* Done: )) Zeta sat in the car for a bit, trying to figure out what to do. She felt very alone, and hated herself for it. This was how she had always worked before. She felt suddenly worried and exposed to enemies too, listening to the whistle of the wind through the town. Every sound appeared to be amplified. Attempting to ignore the cold feeling in her stomach, she decide to head west to Nintendo territory fast, where she hoped to alert their forces of their missing agent. Destiny or no destiny, she was determined to find B3. She headed out of town fast, eyes on the horizon blurred with heat waves. The road of dead straight, when the town faded from sight and the holomaps power finally run out, she didn't even have any proof that she was making progress amongst the identical dunes. When night fell she made a more direct route using the stars to navigate, making use of the off road modifications upon the vehicle. She was glad to be off the obvious track, the base they had broken into would have alerted Microsoft of the intruders. Zeta knew she only had limited time to get out of there before the enemy forces caught up with her. The longer she travelled the more the worried she felt, Zeta felt desperate to get back before she went crazy. More than anything she wanted to know where Blue was, she wished she knew more about what was going on to have some clue about what the Zoni wanted. She didn't even understand how any of this was possible, it was far stranger than some fancy technology. Finally the terrain began to change, become rougher as the sand was replaced with rock. From her knowledge of Nintendo's locations she figured when she need to get to the main river than ran through the continent, beyond which she would be safe. But to get there she need to cross the barren no-mans-land, past the heavily guarded border. ((That took longer than expected, D: I will continue again before long. Could you story continue round it B3? Funny, it sure is quiet round here, where are the others?)) | 2011-01-03 17:51:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |
| ((I have been very very busy lately, with you know, the comic and all, plus catching up on schoolwork...Plus the fact I'm stuck on what to do next, so it may be a few days until I post)) | 2011-01-04 06:25:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| ((Okay, I guess that gives me a chance to wrap up my part)) Zeta stopped the car behind a large outcrop of rock, she had seen the high scanning towers and fences that lined the border. Using the last of the cars power to charge her sensor bar she vanished from sight. Zeta just hoped it would last long enough to get her past the guards. Silently she headed for the large metal gates. Looking up she groaned, they were electric, there was no chance of climbing them. Zeta didn't bother to hope that another vehicle would come through so she could slip by, they were too isolated. Besides, she didn't think Microsoft would be expecting up traffic into their enemies' area. She had to find some other way of opening the gate herself. Zeta scaled one of the main buildings, jumping quietly in through the window. A guard had his back to her, bending other the controls. If I can just open it quickly and make a run for it... She thought, readying her gun. Suddenly a blaring siren made her jump. The guard span round too, but was still unaware of her presence. Looking outside she saw a troop of Microsoft soldiers in awfully familiar uniforms. They were from the base where they found the Zoni, here she assumed to raise the alarm. She ran to the controls, but she didn't have time to work them out. After jabbing a few buttons she abandoned the idea and decided to take a different route. Zeta clambered out of the window again, standing on the narrow groove that ran round the tower. She worked her way along till she was on the other side of the fence, from here she hoped climb down unnoticed. An order was shouted below her and billow of smoke shot out from the two towers, forming a thin wall of grey air across the border. Zeta nearly panicked, they knew about her technology. She waved a arm in front of her, fear rising as she saw her outline clearly picked out by the smoke, the one flaw in the sensor bar's design. Although it would make her undetectable in front of solid objects and in water, its particles could not react to gas, leaving a clear Zeta-shaped hole in the air. In desperation she jumped, but blaze of shots rang out from below, her vision wavered and blurred, before she blacked out completely. ----------------- Zeta awoke in a cold room, lying on a hard, flat surface. A painfully bright light coursed her to try and twist round, but something was binding her arms and legs. Moaning inwardly at being caught once again she opened her eyes a crack. She was in a plain white room, someone silhouetted behind the light was shining a torch in her eye. They grunted as a machine somewhere beeped, the person appeared to have found out what they wanted. Without saying a word they left the room, she heard the metallic clang of a door. When the spots cleared from her eyes she tried to move again, partly surprised that she felt okay. She had expected a far more painful awakening from a fall like that. Her relief vanished with a jolt when she saw the syringe embedded in her arm, out of the corner of her eye she saw an array of medical machinery beside her. Surely her injuries hadn't been that bad, fear began to rise fast in her throat. However, even if they were she doubted Microsoft would care much about her state of health. Zeta tried to twist round again, buy saw only a glass panel too small to be of use as an escape route was in view. Outside she saw a familiar skyline, Old Natal again. However this part seemed to be different, she thought she saw forest not too far away. Perhaps she was on the outskirts of the city. Either way being in a stronghold of Microsoft did not lift her spirits, he was well and truly trapped. | 2011-01-04 10:33:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |

| ((I am heating a slice of bread in such a way as to lightly singe all areas, cooking it in a way typically enjoyed with spread butter.)) Blue awoke on his stomach, on a hard metallic floor. At first, he was relaxed - after all, he had needed the sleep, very badly. Suddenly, though, the memories came flashing back. Zeta's panicked face, fading further and further away as Blue was lifted. His eyes shot wide open, and Blue lifted his torso up, his mind in whirling with anger, planning to smash his way out of here, whatever it took. He used the few moments it took to rise to look around. He was at the end of a dimmed corridor, surrounded by three walls, only one way to go. The hallway was decorated with gold, and seemed to have an elaborate mechanical design. But a closer look revealed that the gears in the design were spinning, an actual part of a contraption... the whole thing was one giant machine. In that look, Blue also saw what he feared. Zeta was nowhere to be seen. His friend was god knows where, left alone, and Blue had done nothing to stop it. Blue closed his eyes, clenching his fists, trying to stop the tears. This was the second time he had lost someone close to him. The second time it was his fault. Memories of Rebecca mingled with that of his friend, playing through Blue's mind. He felt like giving up. "Why bother? I can't even protect two of the most important people in my life. I failed both of them." Suddenly, Blue snapped out of it. His eyes opened, a spark flew from his hands. A single thought gave him strength. Zeta's not dead yet. For at least the third time in a week, Blue felt the anger build up in him and reach its max. Blue bolts went around not only his hands, but spiraled up his whole arms. That thought played in his mind again, ringing clear as day. Sure, it might not be true. Zeta might already be dead. Maybe Blue had already lost. But there was no way of knowing. And if he could still find Zeta alive, then Blue wasn't giving up yet. Blue clenched his teeth and eyes in anger. He knew what he had to do. Blue put the claw weapon he had stolen on. I'm gonna break out of here. He put his mp3 in his ears, turning it on to an appropriately heavy song. I'm gonna kill whoever's responsible. Slowly and painfully. And then Blue was off, running through the hall, into whatever lay ahead. He dug the claw into the wall, leaving a blackened trail behind. In the other hand, a ball of electricity built up, ready for its first victim. And this time, I'm not gonna fail. | 2011-01-05 21:05:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |

| ((Thought I had better double post, toastin' now.)) Zeta lay staring at the ceiling and concentrating on breathing, which was becoming increasingly difficult. Time was blurred, the window was blocked so not even enough light seeped through to distinguish day and night. At first she had struggled and screamed fruitless questions at the scientists till her throat was hoarse. But then they had put another drip in her arm, and soon even blinking took thought, and thoughts seemed to crawl through her head as sluggishly as her movements. She had no idea how long she had lain here, days, weeks or months seemed to blur in to one long struggle to keep alive. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a white coat of a scientist swish by. It was followed by someone she faintly realised as unusual, a Microsoft employee in a suit, who peered at her, silhouetted against the florescent lighting. 'Are you sure she can still be of use as the specimen?' He said, the harsh noise braking through her consciousness. 'Of course, we know what we are doing. Besides, the effect of the toxins well be reversed in the Light Chamber, what use is a half-dead soldier?' The scientist paused, but the Microsoftian only grunted in reply. The scientist continued, sounding a little tart at such little appreciation. 'The shock should leave her out cold long enough to administer the amnesia jab.' There was the sound of footsteps as he left, the door sliding shut behind him. Zeta felt a cold burst of fear begin to wake her dulled senses. She tried to scream in one last bid for help, but she couldn't find enough breath to manage more than a quiet moan of desperation. ((Right anyone can continue now. -Don't worry about messing up the story, I do need some ideas anyway. )) | 2011-01-15 18:18:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |
| ((Alright, here's my next toast.)) After a few minutes of running, breaking down doors, and destroying various equipment, Blue finally came to a more lighted hall. He slowed, though still shaking with anger, and walked to the hall's corner to peer out at whatever was ahead. It appeared to be a control room, three walls lined with machinery, and one with a large, secured doorway. But Blue didn't particularly care about these features, as they weren't much different from what he had seen this far. No, Blue was watching the strange robot (http://ratchet.wikia.com/wiki/Sigma_0426A) manipulating controls on the opposite side of the room, and the Zoni that surrounded him. This robot seemed to have them as help, as guards, as assistants - so he was most likely in charge. Hands filled with electricity, ready to attack, Blue stepped out from the shadows. ((Moar is coming)) | 2011-01-15 20:39:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |
| (("Please, sir, may I have some more?" Well of course, small English child.)) As Blue stepped out, the Zoni, of course, immediately noticed. "Sire!" one buzzed to the robot. He turned around and looked at Blue. "He's awake?", the robot said, starting to turn back. He then quickly glanced back, scared. "He's awake!" The robot rushed over to a panel on the wall, trying to open the door, but Blue was already too close. He rushed to the robot, swatting away Zoni that tried to protect him, and tackled the creature. ((Pause while I scroll through a gaziliion pages to find one of my older posts.)) ((Also Zim just read that in Sigmund's voice)) Blue knelt on the robot's stomach, holding a ball of electricity above him. The creature attempted to hit him with a glowing gold staff (http://ratchet.wikia.com/wiki/Chronoscepter), but Blue grabbed it and threw it across the room. "Talk. Now. Or I fry your circuits." The robot grunted and squealed, trying to get away, as the Zoni hovered nearby anxiously. At last it settled, and spoke. "My name is Sigmund, Senior Caretaker of the Great Cl-", and was interrupted by an angry Blue. "Caretaker! I don't have time for ranks, now tell me what the hell you do and..." Blue paused. "Were you saying 'Clock"?" "Yes," Sigmund said, "I'm in charge of the Great Clock." Blue started to let him up, but Sigmund quickly tried to escape again, forcing Blue to launch a warning shot. "You're not going anywhere until you tell me where I am, why I'm here, and where my friend is." He made a sighing noise, and turned back to the panel, though more slowly. He opened the door, and motioned Blue through it. "I'll show you." ((In this omitted section, assume that Sigmund explains the location and purpose of the Great Clock. I'm not going to write all that. Use the Ratchet and Clank wiki if you need filled in, or ask me. Still more to come.)) | 2011-01-15 21:28:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |

| ((moar.jpg)) "...so then Ratchet and the remaining Zoni fixed up the Orvus Chamber, and I was promoted to Senior Caretaker. Everything's pretty much been the same around here for the past few years, until recently..." Sigmund turned to Blue, who had been listening carefully as he looked out over the Clock through the room's window. It was almost too much for him to process. A giant machine, responsible for holding the universe together, from keeping paradoxes from growing beyond control... it seemed insane. But here it was, before him. "So, Caretaker, you've told me plenty about this place, what it does, and that's all very interesting, but what do I have to do with this? I really need to get back to... wherever I was." "Right this way, sir," Sigmund said as he opened yet another door. The room they entered was large and oval shaped, with a screen wrapped around the front of it. "This is the orientation room! Take a seat!" There was a small couch in the center of the room, which Blue normally would have found comfy, but as tense as he was remained standing instead. Sigmund went ahead and started pressing buttons on a panel, dimming the lights in the room and powering up the screen. ((More to come.

| ((Heres my next part - )) Zeta felt fear give her some new energy, but struggling was useless. She had to think of some other way to distract her captors. She was being moved along, still bound tightly to the hovering slab of metal, heading to somewhere she figured would be far worse than her previous cell. Two scientists were the only security, they thought that while drugged she could be of little danger to them. But Zeta had to try and prove them wrong, and besides, without the syringe in her arm she felt life returning to her every second. Suddenly she saw a large section of the wall had been removed revealing a tangle of wiring underneath, which someone else dressed in a long grey lab coat was bending over. As the scientists led her round she kicked at the exposed electrics, aiming for the pulsating glowing orb of energy nestled in its centre. It was just one last desperate attempt to halt her progress to whatever fate the scientists had in store for her. The effect was surprisingly dramatic. The orb exploded sending a line of white flame shooting across the floor and walls. All the lights went out and Zeta hit the floor with a crash as the metal clamps around her hands opened. She caught her breath, looking at the fallen people around her, half shocked at her sudden freedom. A second later alarms blared from all sides and emergency lights lit up on the floor. How thoughtful. Zeta thought, her strength returning as she half ran to the nearest exit. Pushing open two double doors she staggered to a halt, clasping an iron rail for support as she blinked in the sunlight. She was outside, about five stories up on a balcony, looking down at the employees streaming out onto the street. Passers by had stopped to stare up at the building, Zeta didn't think they knew much about this place. She doubted the silent people who worked here exactly took tours of the secretive facility. Looking round she saw silver letters on the outside of the building, 'W.C.R - Microsoft War and Combat Research' stretching out across the concrete. So far she had remained unnoticed, if she could just get out of here she could hide in the alleys in the outskirts of Old Natal. However the suited man from earlier had just ran out and was pointing up at her, shouting at the guards. Zeta ran back inside as shots ricocheted off the metal. Spinning round as her eyes got used to the blackness again she tried to form a plan, she didn't want to get caught again now. ((I hope that explains enough, got to go...)) | 2011-01-19 18:57:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |
| ((Alright, here's some more. Thanks Dizzy, I think that's all I need for a while. Don't post anymore yet, because I think you've left it at a perfect place for me to jump in later. :-D)) The screen lit up with pictures of The Great Clock, shining in all its glory. Blue crossed his arms impatiently. "I've already explained about the Clock, so I'll just skip past the basic orientation video." The caretaker pulled up what looked like some sort of alien schematic. "The Clock, being as vital as it is, is powered by great technology. This whole thing runs on PK-17 sisterboards - with a raritanium vector shell, no less!" Sigmund turned around, clearly expecting to see Blue impressed. "Uh, cool...?", he said sheepishly. The caretaker turned back, changing to another slide. This seemed to be a picture taken during the disaster he had talked about - where a 'Lombax' named Alister Azimuth tried to use the clock to change history. The room it was taken in seemed about to rip apart. "After these events, we thought everything was fixed. But a few weeks ago, I discovered that the Clock's problems went beyond the surface." A video clip was started. It showed a dark area, lit only by a glowing piece of machinery, suspended by wires. Suddenly, sparks and electricity flew every way. The metal stopped glowing, and the video faded out. Sigmund turned to Blue, looking quite worried. "You just saw those sisterboards... die. This was taken years ago, on the same day the Clock was nearly destroyed. We've been running on residual energy for all these years, so it was never noticed... but now, the Clock is in danger of shutting down. The entire universe is in danger." Blue raised his arms in frustration. "What does this have to do with me!? Don't you have mechanics in space?" "Of course!", Sigmund said, "not that I can't fix things myself. That is my job after all. The thing is, restarting that computer will take an enormous amount of energy, and create massive shockwaves during the charging process. Every organism I've ever known would be killed before they could get it to 20%." Sigmund paused. "That is, except for the one I'm speaking to now." ((Moar to come. Tonight is a possibility, but probably tomorrow.)) | 2011-01-19 20:26:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |

| ((Alright, time for another attempt at posting. Someone please respond! I'm starting to feel ignored... D: )) "So, what? You want me for what I can do? For this?" Blue flicked his hands, throwing a few sparks in the air. "The Zoni searched for weeks, looking all across the universe for someone able to withstand electricity. Out of the few we found, you were the only one who seemed willing to do this - the only hero, so to speak." He added in a mutter just loud enough for Blue to hear, "Heroic until you tried to murder me, that is." "But you're still a good person, right? You don't want innocent people to die?" Blue looked down at his feet for a long moment, his hair covering all show of emotion. Finally a quiet "No." rung out, seeming far louder than it was, given the gravity of the situation. Sigmund reacted quite positivity to this, half-flying across the room to open yet another door. "Excellent! Right this way, I'll show you exactly where to go! Cmon, cmon, stupid door, open alre-" "I don't want anyone to die," Blue continued, interrupting Sigmund, "but frankly, I don't want the universe to last any longer. If it's up to me, I choose to let it die." Blue started walking away, head still pointed at the ground. Just as fast as he had left, Sigmund was in front of Blue again. "Butbutbutbut why? Why would you want that?" "I told you. I've lost one of the most important people in my life today, one of my best friends. Let the world burn for all I care." ((Moar to come, after dinner.

| ((Alright, time for today's early morning toast.)) "This is insane!" Sigmund yelled as Blue started to walk away. "You're going to let the whole universe die out because of one person? For all you know, she could be just fine, and then you'd be killing her!" Blue stopped, sighing, because he knew the Caretaker was right. "Well... do you suppose you could show me where Zeta is? If she really is alright, I'll fix the clock up... so long as you'll take me back right afterwards." Sigmund breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Sure! The Clock monitors the whole universe - that's how it searches for paradoxes. Since I know approximately where your friend would be, this won't take long." The robot took his place at a panel and began furiously tapping buttons, talking to Blue as he set up the scan. "Let's see here, your planet is... E... starts with an, - Earth! That's it, and you came from this area, and then just check over here, and here, and here, and - Ah! Here she is!" He pressed a few buttons and an image started to show up on screen. "Now look," Sigmund said, still facing the panel, "I'm sure she's just fin-" Sigmund had turned towards the screen, which Blue was watching, terrified. Zeta was shown attached to a test table, connected to many strange medical cords, struggling to free herself. "Uh... yeah..." Sigmund started. "I'll just turn this off, then-GAH" Once again, Blue was on top of the Caretaker, shaken and angry by what he had just seen. Sparks flew randomly from up and down his arms, as if he could barely contain the lethal electricity inside him in this state. A few tears fell from his eyes, but his expression was that of pure anger. "Your choice, Caretaker. You can take me there as fast as this *******ed clock is capable of, or you can sit and watch until the lights go out on this thing for good. You understand? Now choose." He released the caretaker, who backed up against a wall and, terrified, started pressing buttons on his own attached panel. "I can open up a portal to where she is. It won't be exact, because we don't have time to calibrate it perfectly, but it won't be too far." A portal opened in the center of the orientation room. Blue could see lighting flash through the dark place it opened to. He looked into it for a few seconds, then looked back at the still frightened Caretaker. "Thank you so much. I will be back. I will return this favor." Blue prepared his electricity, spirals of blue sparks again running up his arms, and then walked into the portal. ((One more post, then Dizzy can take a turn.

| ((Milk or orange juice with your toast, sir?)) Blue stepped into a dark, rainy night, surrounded by buildings. He recognized his surroundings quickly as Old Natal. "Good," he thought, "If I'm gonna fry someone, might as well be Microsoftians." He began looking around, hoping, praying for some sign of where Zeta had been taken. Just as he was about to lose hope, he heard gunfire and took off running. In seconds he was in front of a large building, Microsoft's War and Combat Research - and so was Zeta. She was on a ledge in front of the building, not looking very well. "Zeta! ZETA!" She didn't seem to hear, the weather covering up Blue's cries. Suddenly more shots rang out, and she ducked back into the building. Blue quickly saw what both made Zeta run and made the noise, two Microsoft soldiers and a man in a suit. Upon seeing them, Blue was quickly overcome with rage. He raised his arms slightly, the limbs glowing in the storm. "Die!" he roared, and called down a lethal lighting storm (http://infamous.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning_Storm). The three men went flying. The two soldiers landed quickly, one dead upon impact, the other one barely surviving. The man in the suit was nowhere to be seen.

| ((Fuuu, now I'll just continue it here.)) Blue walked over to the surviving one, and knelt over the man, grabbing a key card from his pocket. He then prepared a ball of electricity, which quickly prompted a response from the soldier. "No... no, please, I have... family, friends... please... mercy." "Family and friends, eh? I have those too," he leaned down and whispered into the soldiers ear, "and Microsoft soldiers killed some of them." The shock was quick and painless, the man dead almost instantly. Blue walked over to the buildings edge, to where Zeta had disappeared two floors above him, and started climbing. Blue quickly reached the balcony and walked into the building. "Zeta?", he called out into the dark surroundings. A feeble, but recognizable voice rang out: "B- Blue?" Zeta walked into Blue's range of sight, and the anger, hatred, and rage Blue had felt instantly melted away. "Zeta!", he said happily, running to her, on the giving end of their trademark crushing hugs for once. Zeta gave a small, tired laugh. "I've been through a lot lately, could you please not break any ribs?" "Sorry," Blue smiled, laughing a little. However, he quickly was serious again. "Zeta, believe me, I want to catch up - but we've got to get out of here. There were two soldiers outside, and I'm sure there's more where that came from." He looked over her injuries and felt a pang of guilt, even though a part of him knew he couldn't have prevented it. "Can you climb? I took care of everyone out there, we should be able to get out that way." "Yeah, I think I can do it." Right as the went for the exit, however, shouting was heard from outside. "They're in there! The second floor!" A grenade was thrown, and Blue quickly pushed Zeta back, shielding her from debris. When the dust cleared, the hole was filled with rubble, blocking their escape. "Another fun event in this wonderful day," Blue muttered. He turned to Zeta. "I could go into my Bullet Bill form and smash through, but the way the building cracked, the roof might just collapse in on us. You've been here for a few days... so where to from here?" ((Phew, all done until Dizzy posts again. Dizzy, you can go as far as returning us to the Clock, but make sure to get us out of here.)) | 2011-01-23 02:48:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |
| ((Now that's some good toast)) | 2011-01-23 02:51:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| ((On the subject of breakfast, did you mention blueberry m-muffins earlier? *depressed* Why do we never have muffins...?/cornflakes)) Zeta glanced around, 'From what I have seen the floor is just slabs of metal resting grooves in the ceiling below. We could probably leaver them up and get down to the next story.' B3 looked a little surprised, 'How did you find out stuff like that?' She grinned, 'I guess I am not a very good damsel in distress, I get bored and try and escape you know...' Using a bit of mangled machinery they removed a piece of metal just large enough to slip through to the floor below. B3 checked for guards, but it seemed to be deserted. After descending Zeta had hoped to see another balcony or window that they could get down from, but the corridor only led further into the building. 'We need to get out of here as soon as possible, guards are bound to be flooding this place soon.' She muttered, feeling uneasy. 'Nah, don't worry, lets just keep moving.' Blue replied, heading through one of the doors into another metallic corridor. A sound of pounding footsteps and shouted orders headed their way along one of the passages. B3 signalled for her to hurry up. Still there was no opening to the outside world. Zeta ran faster, this place was like a fortress with its featureless walls and cold cells. Then her fears were confirmed, B3 stopped suddenly in front of a squad of Microsoft guards, weapons pointing straight at him and Zeta. 'Put your hands up, your games over now.' A voice came from beneath the leaders visa. 'Jump.' B3 whispered out of the corner of his mouth. 'Wha...?' Zeta replied. 'Just jump okay!' Suddenly she realised his plan, Zeta jumped just as B3 launched an electric shock along the metal floor, instantly frying anyone touching it. With the guards out of the way they finally saw another balcony in front of them. Running for it Zeta clambered over the edge, hoping her legs wouldn't give way beneath her. But she felt stronger now, and the height didn't bother her. B3 followed, looking down to check no guards had thought to leave the building. When they reached the ground Zeta started to run, but halted in fear as a portal appeared blocking her path. 'B3! Theres something appearing!' 'Don't worry, its going to take us back to the Clock.' 'Clock?!' Zeta said suspiciously. 'Whats that? Aren't these are the people who kidnapped you in the first place?' 'Not exactly...Just step through the portal.' B3 said. But Zeta still hesitated, giving him a worried glance. 'Trust me, these people aren't interested in war.' He reassured her. 'All right, I'm going. You had better follow though.' She smiled weakly. This had been a confusing day, even by her standards. Zeta stepped through, vanishing. With a last look around B3 slipped through too, and was swallowed by the portal once again. | 2011-01-23 12:00:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |

| The Tiny Space craft shot towards the large blue sphere hanging in the eternal darkness, it slingshotted around the moon and into sub stratospheric orbit, Flames billowed as the outer casings ejected allowing an even smaller glider to shoot outwards, a silent motor powered it forward, It dived downwards towards a billowing sea, Gigantic waves Rose and fell threatening to collapse on the tiny flyer, it hugged the ocean a few feet above the toiling surface. A small light blinked on the horizon, Small and blue it was barely noticeable but the gliders augmented reality focused on it and subtly headed towards it, Swooping like an oversized albatross. It headed towards the coastline.* It alighted as a suited man gracefully walked over, He pulled the Suited engineer out of the glider and patted him down "Sir!" the man saluted "At Ease Corporal" Matthews replied The man pulled out a brief case and opened it casting an eerie glow "oh yes..." | 2011-01-24 19:58:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |
| ((Alright, I'm preparing the endgame. Just so you guys know, I took yesterday off because I needed to come up with a new, shorter ending. You see, I'm going on a youth retreat Friday immediately after school, which means I'll be gone Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I needed to shorten my plan so I could end it by Thursday. It'll still be quite epic, though... look forward to it. )) ((I'll go ahead and write today's post. ))Once Blue and Zeta came through the portal, the decision was quickly made to rest for a while before they took on the new mission. Insisting that she take the Orientation room's sofa, the only furniture Sigmund knew of, Blue used a small amount of anesthetics to put Zeta to sleep as she still had unhealed wounds. To Blue's relief, nothing was broken, and there was only a small amount of bandaging and stitching to do. Zeta didn't stir in the slightest while Blue worked on her, sound asleep as a result of the hellish situation she had just lived through. Once Blue was done, he smiled, still glad to have reached her in time, before falling asleep himself. That night, the hard metallic floor of the clock felt as great as the comfiest bed. ________________________________________________ Blue, who by nature wasn't the type to sleep in, awoke at what Sigmund informed him was 6:30 in the morning of his own world's time. Zeta came to a while later, and after they had talked a while, Sigmund explained to Zeta the grave situation. It was decided that Zeta would go with Blue to venture into the Clock, only staying behind at the final chamber to avoid the shockwaves. Sigmund led them to a special door, which he opened with his staff. The path was dark, but Blue lit the way. After about 45 minutes of travel, the two reached a huge room, big enough that even Blue's brightest light didn't quite reach it's edges. In the center was suspended a piece of equipment about the size of an infant, connected to hundreds of wires that led up to the room's ceiling. Blue smiled a little. "This should be fun. It's supposed to release shockwaves as I charge it, right? What are the odds that something so powerful doesn't juice me up a bit? Being able to do something new would be great." Zeta laughed at her friend's hotheaded attitude. "Just charge it, okay? I'm ready to get back home... it's been a long trip." She walked back into the previous corridor so she wouldn't be zapped. Blue climbed up onto the machine and set to work. A few minutes in, he got hit with the first shock, and almost fell off. Feeding off the Clock's power was an incredible feeling, as if Blue's body and mind were one. Enjoying the sensation, his thoughts drifted off, and he started to think over past events. Defeating the assassin who invaded his camp, befriending Sony solders, recovering an incredible artifact with those new friends... it had been an incredible experience thus far. And yet, reflecting, something tugged on Blue's subconscious. That nightmarish experience in the Temple... that horrible shadow he had to face. Against his own will, Blue's mind turned to darker thoughts. That shadow had forced him to relive that day, to stare into that Microsoft solder's haunting red eyes again, to... Blue's heart skipped a beat, that chain of thought was interrupted. Red eyes. No normal person could do that. The memories amplified by the Clock's energy, Blue was unable to keep his mind from flashing back, from showing him the horrific truth. Details he had never noticed, but were terrifyingly real. Red eyes on the soldier that killed Rebecca. Red eyes on guards in the many places he and Zeta had traveled to. Red eyes on that scientist, red eyes on the suited man. And lastly, Blue's subconscious called up the footage of the Clock failing. Red eyes had glowed in that darkness too. The clock charged, Blue fell to his knees, tears falling from his eyes. This monster had plagued him his whole life, and yet Blue had never seen it coming, never stopped this killer. Never avenged Rebecca. The tears stopped, as Blue realized that it would end today. This creature, this murderer was here. And Blue finally had his chance. At just that moment, Zeta came back into the room. "I heard the charges stop... everything al-", stopping as she saw Blue on the ground. "Zeta!", he exclaimed in a grave voice, "Go, now. This area isn't safe. Go back to Sigmund, now. Please." Red eyes glowed from in front of Blue, and the familiar laugh echoed out. "Glad you've figured it all out," the shadow said, appearing. ((That's all for today. The suspense!)) | 2011-01-25 21:50:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |

| ((I'm obviously kidding. Here goes, firing up the ol' toaster... EPIC BATTLE TIEM! :kz: )) The two enemies just stood there for a second, facing each other. Blue's eyes, shining with sparks, looked into the blood red pits that made up the creature's face. The shadow laughed. "So, I guess this is it... either you've gotten better, or you'll die. Simple as that." "Bast_rd," was Blue's only reply. With that, he charged headlong towards him, flinging bolt after bolt of bright blue electricity. The shadow put up some sort of electric wall (http://infamous.wikia.com/wiki/Polarity_Wall), blocking all of Blue's shots. At about a ten feet distance, Blue turned into a Bullet Bill, striking the shadow with massive force, clearly inflicting pain. Before Blue could smash him into the room's walls, however, he disappeared. Blue changed back and rolled, turning around expectingly, but not in time to avoid being hit by a large ball of electricity, which exploded on impact, blowing him back a few feet. Blue then tried to call another lightning storm, but was seemingly unable to, perhaps because of his indoor situation. His shadow took full advantage of this situation, hitting Blue full-on with another explosion. This was too much for Blue to take, and he was flung back. Here Blue found himself hanging at the edge of a platform - it turned out the room actually was a suspended field, with a good ten feet gap from the walls. Blue tried to pull himself up, but barely had the strength to hold on. His shadow slowly walked over to him, leaning over the edge to look down at Blue. "I really thought after all this, you would be stronger... you would have learned. Become better than me. But I guess I was wrong." The next events happened in less than a second. The shadow reached down and shocked Blue, and he started to fall. Zeta's voice could be heard crying out. Blue was suddenly hit with something hard and metallic, stopping his fall, pulling him back up. Blue rolled back up in time to see what had saved him, Zeta's Omniwrench tether. She pulled back on the device, using it to swing back at the shadow, who dodged the metallic head easily. "Stay away from him!" The shadow looked at Zeta with surprise, before hitting her with a bolt that flung her back into the hall. "This doesn't concern you!" Blue, recovered from his near-death experience, was enraged. "Zeta!", he yelled back into the hall. He was completely consumed by anger once more, his eyes turned fully into bright-blue pits, the mirror image of his enemy. "Don't touch her!" he roared, his voice changed by the energy running through him. Blue's hands clenched, creating bright blue electric blades (http://infamous.wikia.com/wiki/Gigawatt_Blades), another new power. He charged his shadow so quickly that he couldn't dodge as Blue slashed through him with strike after strike. He flung the shadow into the air, to fry him with two criss-crossing electric bolts. The shadow fell, beaten. Blue caught his breath, breathing hard. The shadow, on it's back, simply laughed. "Good job. I knew you had it in you." Blue said nothing, walking forward, his electric blades still glowing. Blue stood over his shadow, and quickly reached down, ready to sink his blade into the shadow for the last time. At the last second, the shadow flung himself at Blue, grabbing his face with one hand, which caused a bright blast of energy to surround the two. Blue cried out in agony. When the brightness faded, Blue laid on the ground, unconscious. The shadow was nowhere to be seen... ((All done!

| ((Behold, the great wall of China text)) Blue's vision blacked out, only to suddenly brighten. He was contained in some infinite white space, seemingly stretching out forever. He shook with anger at the shadow's trick, when he had been so close... He stood up, looking around, when the shadow appeared before him. "Gah!" he grunted, charging forward, but the shadow teleported out of his way, to appear again beside Blue. He once again attacked, and the shadow once again dodged. This repeated several times, with the shadow never reacting, never attacking, just dodging. The shadow seemed different, calm, not angered, no malice in his actions. When at last Blue was exhausted, and paused, moving into a more defensive stance. The shadow did nothing, simply staring at Blue. Then he flicked his hands, and to Blue's surprise, the shadow faded away. He was now looking at a man in his thirties, with short dark hair, who wore a grey jacket and simple black pants. "I'm really proud of you. You've taken everything I've thrown at you and simply grown because of it," he said, his voice no longer a growl, but an almost quiet speaking tone. The man gave no visible emotion. "Shut up and die already!" Blue yelled, now slightly confused as well as angered, and charged, but the man teleported just as he did under his shadow disguise. "Stop." the man said. "Just listen. Stephen, you can't kill me. I am you." "Stop trying to mess with me!" Blue roared, enraged. But the man just smiled sadly and reached into his jacket pocket, pulling out a picture. "Just look." Blue took one glance at the picture and his mind started to reel. An older version of himself stared back, standing in a tuxedo... next to an older Rebecca, wearing a beautiful white wedding dress. "No..." Blue muttered, "this must be some sort of trick." But as he looked at the picture, he realized how accurate it was. Everyone he knew was there. Quite a few of his men stood in the background, and the couple's left, Zeta stood arm in arm with a man he didn't know, with a bouquet she had apparently caught. The couple both looked happy about this blessing. The picture had even caught, though hard to make out, GDN dancing with Zim. The man put the picture away, his eyes now unable to hide the sadness the picture brought him. "Everyone in that picture, in my world, is dead now." Blue clenched his fists in some mixture of anger, frustration, and sadness, thoughts churning too fast for him to fully comprehend. "Please, listen to me," the man continued. "All my - your - friends and family fell victim to Microsoft soldiers. I wasn't strong enough to stop them then, nobody was, and by the time I was ready, it was too late. All the Sony and Nintendo solders who could fight were too scared to, no one would stand with me. There was nothing left to stand for, and so I came back to this time, hoping to prepare you - me - for what lies ahead." "So you killed your own wife," Blue roared, his anger fully back, "in some effort to "prepare" me!? You were willing to take that chance!?" Now the man raised his own voice. "I didn't take a single chance! I gained my own powers seven years ago, when I saw Rebecca killed before my own eyes. Do you think I wanted to do this? Any of this!? I've hated everything I've had to do, but I did it so that everyone else might have a chance! So that you might be able to save someone, anyone, who I wasn't able to!" Blue's mind continued to reel, close to total overload now. The man grabbed Blue by the shoulders, looking him straight in the eyes. "Look. I can't stay here long. By changing your future so much, I'll cease to exist within a few hours. There is a powerful object, exclusively granted to Nintendo heroes, and that is the world's only hope. The only thing powerful enough to take down the coming Microsoft empire, which grows even as we speak. If you work with your friends, you can do it. You can fix everything." The man let go of Blue. "You're already far stronger than I ever was, even if you don't know it. I really am proud. Goodbye, Blue." And he was gone.

| Blue woke up exactly where he had fallen. He sat, thinking, for a few moments before rising to go find Zeta. For now, at least, it was time to go home. ________________________________ An hour or so later, after quite a long explanation and one time-portal transportation, Blue and Zeta were in front of Blue's camp, the place where their long journey had began. Blue smiled at his friend. "Well, I guess this is it," he said. "You have the Wiimotion Omega ready to take, right?" His friend nodded. "Good," Blue said. "I suppose you better get going then," and breaking into a grin, added "the kitchen awaits." Blue got the usual punch, and they both laughed a little. Blue reached out and hugged Zeta, slightly sad to see his friend go again, after all they had been through over the last few days. Blue slid his keycard into the camp's gate, and was quickly mobbed by cheerful soldiers. He laughed. "It's great to see you guys." He turned back to Zeta, yelling "Stay in touch!" She smiled and nodded, responding "See you soon!" As Blue turned back to his men, he thought of the words of his older self again: "If you work with your friends, you can do it." Yes, Zeta, he thought. Very soon. ((Well, there it is! I want to thank all you guys for giving me this opportunity, to be a part of (what I consider to be) an epic story. It may be a few weeks until I start the next Console Wars, but I look forward to it. Finish up your stories! It'll give me something to read when I get back. Thanks again guys.

| ((Yeah, yeah GDN. Time to wrap up my story...)) Zeta was sitting in the Nintendo's base, waiting to return the Wii Motion Omega. She stared out of the window across the grounds, the endless green broken by soldiers patrolling the border. Oh well, it shall soon be over... She thought to herself, looking down at the technology she had travelled across the world to get. All that for this. She wondered if it had been worth it. The thought of the damage it would do still chilled her, she just wished she could forget how human their enemies were. Groaning she rubbed her head, it had been a long trip. Zeta hoped the officer wouldn't be too mad at their detours. It certainly hadn't been the usual operation she had expected. 'Enter.' A metallic voice sounded from the speaker above her. Zeta heaved herself to her feet as the doors slid open. As soon as she walked into the crisp white room the Wii Motion Omega was taken from her by excited scientists, keen to get it into the labs for final checks. The Officer greeted her in a warmer manner than usual. 'Welcome Zeta. Despite certain delays we have been quite impressed by your conduct in your first mission. You might even be considered for promotion.' Zeta said nothing, feeling awkward. The officer coughed and continued, 'We hope you know the er, importance of this new technology. It will win us the war, and you and B3 will be remembered for playing a vital part in it.' Zeta suddenly realised she hadn't really thought much about the what they had been trying to achieve. What with everything, the temple of Atari, meeting GDN and Zim. It hadn't seemed exactly important. I don't think I am meant to be a soldier, not if I think like this... 'Excuse me? You are dismissed.' The officer's voice cut through her thoughts. 'Oh, sorry.' Zeta apologised, giving a quick nod of respect before leaving. She walked outside into the cold air of the mountains, trying not to be reminded by the gunfire that the war wasn't over yet. She picked up her bag contained the Omniwench, some tools and the rest of her baggage and slung it over her back. Home sweet home... She thought, starting towards her quarters.

| ((Alright, i've been itching to post for a while, here it goes!)) ((also, since last part was a month ago, ill post it here)) "See anything yet?" "Nope, still just fog and snow, and... cold." "C'mon, just ignore it, the top can't be that much further" Mercuy's words were soon lived as the peak of the mountain was now within reach, flags still stood atop the snow, waving in the wind, but other than that, there was nothing there. "Great, we climb all this way and there's nothing here." "There has to be something here, hopefully something heated." The two of them stood in the cold, pondering the stones, and snow of the summit, but there was nothing to be found. "Well, I'm stumped, maybe there's some sort of-" "Shhh..." Zim swiftly stops Mercuy mid sentance as she hears what sounds like footsteps, coming up the side of the mountain. "I hear footsteps... coming from where we came up." "Blue Cult?" "dunno, thought they would've given up by now." Mercuy drew his pistol as the steps became louder, and then the figure came into view, he was about to pull the trigger until he realized who had trekked through the blizzard. "Ched? what are you doing back here?" "Well, Zim, I came back to help" "oh, of course! how did I forget earlier?" "What Mercuy?" "The last part of the Legend, A third will come, in your time of need, to put together the next piece of the puzzle." "Well, what does that mean then?" Almost right on queue, the three hear a rumbling beneath thier feet, and the snow blows aside to reveal a platform with the Atari emblem in gold, descending back into the mountain. A few different emotions showed on everyone's faces as the platform descended back into the mountain. Fear, Satisfaction, and silence. None of them knew what was about to happen, but they all knew that whether they make it out or not, good will come. Mercuy held his magnum high, ready to fire at any minute. Ched kept his knife close; it made him comfortable yet frightened at the same time. Zim only stood there, trying to keep her mind off of GDN, he haunted her, but she managed to hold him back. Any thoughts that came into thier minds were supressed immediately, as they had no idea what to be preparing for. ((Building up suspense, making the end sound epic, if ya don't mind.)) ((P.S.

| ((continuing Hank's story, last time we mentioned him he crashed the helicopter and lost GDN's body, remember?)) Hank looks outside the chopper's window. Two medics are taking care of GDN's body. He asked: - How long until we reach safe territories? - Two or three hours... - Well, we better go faster then... He glances outside again. He looks at a light in the distance. Upon looking closer into it, he notices it's a missile. - Incoming missile! Hang on!!! It hits the chopper, making it crash on the ground. After a while, Hank and the crew wake up and notices GDN's body is gone. There are some footprints coming from the crash, and some tracks on the ground. Apparently two people dragged something out of the crash. - Do you think that someone got him? - I don't know... I'm calling for a rescue, they'll soon arrive. - Aren't we going to look for GDN? - I'm afraid that we don't have time for this...

Where is his body? - That's what I wanted to talk to you about... We lost his body... The soldier grabbed Hank by the collar and held him against the chopper fuselage. - HOW COULD YOU LOSE HIS BODY??? - Argh... We lost him in the crash... Someone took him away... *cough* The soldier lets him go and sits on the ground, confused. - He was our commander... He did a lot of great things... And now is dead, and we can't even provide a decent funeral... - Said him. - Listen, we'll talk about this when we get back to your base, right? The chopper took off towards the SONY base.

| From the top of the lighthouse Matthews observed the barren land below him. Poor farmers toiled producing very little for not very much. Matthews descended down the spiral staircase; he ran his hands down the cold stone as he spiraled into the darkness below, His ran over a black stone, indistinguishable from the rest and gently pressed it. Suddenly the steps angled as Matthews landed on his back and began to slide, faster and faster, any other man would've panicked before hitting the seemingly solid wall, It clicked on a hinge causing the entire panel to swing upwards propelling Matthews into neon darkness. The Slide finally ended half a mile under the Lighthouses foundations, it was a cold dark room with stone walls and panels, it was reminiscent of a dungeon. in the centre of the room was a small device with a green crystal on it. Matthews smiled to himself, the protocol had initiated causing the holograms energies to focus on ripping a hole in the fabric of space allowing him to teleport to the building under the lighthouse. Matthews picked up the tiny microprocessor, and placed it in his pocket. He then pushed through another panel into a small elevator shaft. "Antigravity" Matthews announced "Activate" The Whole shaft suddenly wobbled, bathed in a strange purple light as the Universe was warped around Matthews, swiftly launching him upwards, the shaft narrowed, into a single file as Matthews speed increased again, he was traveling at sub-sonic speeds. the Shaft began to wobble as the tunnel neared its end, Travelling at the speed of sound, Matthews was borne into the sunlight, he was soaring. he acrobatically somersaulted into a nose dive, Down. | 2011-02-04 19:28:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |

| In a makeshift tent outside the Lighthouse Matthews busied himself around the microprocessor, the shard of crystal had been buried in the soft sand and Matthews was busily reattaching a new one, This one was a deeper darker green and glinted in the darkness. Holding a screw driver in his mouth he carefully wired the tiny machine up to it. there was a bright flash followed by a low hum as the microprocessor rebooted itself. Matthews stood up and headed for the top of the lighthouse. On top of the large lighthouse was a tiny tube, He carefully slotted the shard into it, He smiled as he heard the device slide down the tube, Suddenly a bright flash emanated from the peak of the lighthouse followed by darkness as a white suited man identical to Matthews appeared in front of him. on that day Kernel was reborn... | 2011-02-05 19:16:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |

| ((This has to be my longest post. EVER)) The three heroes go down the set of stairs. Some torches illuminating their path. They eventually reach a circular room. The door behind them closes as they advance into the room. Some creepy statues seem to watch them. - What's with these statues? Zim asks. - What about them? Merc answers. - They don't seem to be here just for the scenery... Zim walks to one of the statues, which seems larger than the others. She touches it and thinks for a while. Ched interrupts her thoughts: - What are these creatures anyways? I have never seen something like them... - Who knows? There are many strange creatures in this world... Zim, you and GDN would know that well, right? - GDN... Zim stops for a while. Merc notices it and tries to get her mind away from GDN: - So, we got to discover what to do with this thing... - What? Oh, yeah, right, the console... Zim puts her backpack on the ground and takes the console out. It is emitting a golden light. When she gets closer to the statue, the glow gets stronger. She notices that the statue was holding something. She carefully places the console on the statue's arms, and its glow gets even stronger. But suddenly, the door behind them explodes. Five remaining men from the Blue Cult get inside, pointing guns at them. One of them steps ahead and says: - Nice work! Nice work! I still can't believe it... You and that... Pesky soldier... - GDN's not a pesky soldier! - Right, right, whatever you say... But you have been a thorn in our side for too long... On your knees!!! Ched and Merc both kneel. Zim stands still, looking at them. Ched whispers: - Zim? What are you doing? - I thought I told you to kneel! - No... - What??? The console keeps glowing, and the light takes over the whole room. The walls begin to spin around them. - What is this??? Zim takes advantage of their distraction and tells everyone to stand up and run. The Blue Cult men notice this and prepare to fire at them, but their weapons float out of their hands. The statues have turned into real beings, and they attack the Blue Cult. The three keep searching for an exit, but the walls are spinning very fast. A portal opens on the ceiling, beginning to suck everything, even the room itself. Zim and the others hold into a column, while everything else gets sucked, except the creatures. - Aaargh, I'm slipping!!! Zim loses her grip and flies towards the wormhole, but an alien hand catches her. It opens a hole on the wall and throws Zim in it, followed by Merc and Ched. They find themselves in another corridor, but the ceiling is falling apart. - We gotta get out of here!!! They run through the corridor as it falls apart. A light appears in the horizon. They keep running as fast as they can, until they manage to get out right before a large rock blocks the exit. Zim and Ched regain their breath, while Merc looks at the top of the mountain. - Guys... Look at that... Something emerges from the mountain. Large rocks float and spin around it. Suddenly, a large flying saucer appears from it. It spins really quick, creating a large vortex of rocks and wind. It then bursts out into space instantly, leaving a hole in the clouds and a green wave that spreads across the sky. ---------------------------------- Everywhere in the world, the soldier's guns stop working as the sky turns green. They look at their weapons, confused, then at each other. They forgot what where they doing. ---------------------------------- The floating rocks suddenly stop and fall towards the mountain, making the ground shake. A rock almost falls on the three heroes. But, it was all over. The sky was blue again, and the clouds disappeared. A bright sun could be seen. Merc looks at Ched: - In case someone asks, you never saw that. Merc looks at Zim. She is looking at the horizon. - Zim? - ... - It's GDN, right? - Yes... - Don't worry, Zim... I'm sure that he's watching you from above... - I guess that you're right... I'm glad this is over... But I will miss him... Zim grabs GDN's dog tags from her pocket and looks at them. The sun sets in the horizon. ---------------------------------- 2 MONTHS LATER... ---------------------------------- The soldiers are preparing their gear at the SONY base. Ched is fueling his helicopter. Zim is returning to the base after a long while to see how things have been going. She notices all the movement, then walks to Ched and asks him: - Ched, what's going on? Why is everyone preparing for a mission? - Our intelligence squad has been looking into the Ascension group recently. We found that... - Wait, Ascension group? - Yeah... They don't belong to any kind of nation, except their own. We discovered some intel about an "important prisoner" being held at a Russian fort. And we know that anything that they keep away from us is of our interest. - Oh well... So I guess that I'll be going with you then! - What? - I don't know, this whole war thing, the legendary console, I really got into this kind of thing. - Need for adventure, eh? - Like that... - Ok, you'll come with us then... Any help is welcome. ---------------------------------- The helicopter approached the fort and the squad lands, Zim in the middle of them. The guards immediately respond with gunshots. The group makes their way into the fort, always having to fight some guards. They get into a large corridor that leads to the cell block. Zim leads the way, telling everyone to follow her, but an explosion makes the ceiling fall and block the rest of the squad. Zim is forced to go without them. She approaches the cell where the prisoner is meant to be. She places a charge on the wall and detonates it. Upon entering the room, she sees someone choking a guard. He throws the guards onto her, making her fall to the ground. The he points his gun at her. She looks at his face, then suddenly recognizes it. - GDN? - Zim? - But wha... How??? Suddenly, another explosion shakes the building. GDN helps Zim up and asks her to move. - Ched, I found our prisoner, do you copy? - Yes, get to the landing zone right now! - Ok, also, about this prisoner... Suddenly, another explosion makes the ceiling come down right on top of them. GDN gets out of the pile of rubbles and looks for Zim. She's under a large piece of the ceiling, screaming. - Aaagh... GDN, I think I broke my anlke, I can't move! - Hold on, we are getting out of here. GDN rolls the rock over and picks Zim up. As he keeps heading towards the exit, more explosions occur around him. ---------------------------------- Ched can only see someone carrying Zim out of the dust. When he gets closer, he notices who he is. - GDN??? - Come on, she needs medical attention! The helicopter takes off with the squad, Zim and GDN. Ched tells the base that GDN's alive, but no one believes him. ---------------------------------- The helicopter lands at the base. GDN helps Zim to get out. She got treated onboard, and was now with a bandage on her foot. Everyone looks at him, startled, while he takes Zim to the command room ? the same room where they met for the first time. GDN and Zim get inside the room, followed by some other high-ranking soldiers. One of them begins talking: - Ok, so when are you going to tell us what is going on? Why are you alive? - I... I don't know exactly... I just woke up in a surgery table, surrounded by some scientists. I was then taken to that cell... And when the attack began, I thought that it would be the perfect chance for escape... - But still, how are you alive??? - I don't know!!! Damm... The soldiers discuss for a while. Then they get back to GDN: - Ok, listen, we are going to trust your story. And we're willing to give your position back. - What position? - The Commander position. You were one of our best Commanders ever! We want to have you back. GDN thinks for a while, then he speaks: - Okay. You can tell everyone that they have their old Commander back! - That's good to hear... Sir! - Ok, you're dismissed soldier! Hehe... ---------------------------------- GDN gets outside the building, now in his soldier outfit. He gets into a jeep with Zim. A lot of journalists are swarming the base. The soldiers open a path to him, and he drives away, followed by some news vans. ---------------------------------- GDN stops in front of his old apartment building. He gets into his apartment, Zim following him. - So, what are you going to do now, GDN? - Well, I'm going to clean this place up. I pretend to live here from now on. - Really? - Yes. And if you want, you can stay here too... - Well... No, thanks, I'm not used to live with others... - Your choice. But remember to pass by sometimes! - I will. See you later then? - Of course! See ya! Zim gets out and GDN goes to the balcony and looks at the sun setting in the horizon. He went through a lot recently. This war had caused many losses, some irreparable. But it also gave him strength to face whatever was to come after. And why not, also a friend? THE END? ---------------------------------- ((That's it, guys, hope you all liked it as I liked. Count me in for the next Console Wars! There you will discover all the secrets behind GDN's sudden appearence. Thanks for everything! )) | 2011-02-20 00:09:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| ((There's so much Zim loves GDN trolling to be done here I don't know where to start. Awesome, awesome post though. Got to reread it.)) ((EDIT: Some problems. The current war cannot end, as it's important for my story (and therefore the overall Console Wars story) that Microsoft continues to gain power. When you say the guns stop working... just don't think that they stop working for long, they don't. Second, the next TCW will take place six months after this happens. Just FYI on that one.)) | 2011-02-20 00:52:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |

Also, I have to post what happened to me, seeing as it wasn't covered in that post, I'll throw something together.))

| Mercuy's Epilogue part 1: 4 Months after the events of The Console Wars 3. "You are here by sentenced to 5 years in Old Natal federal prison...." 2 months later the words still repeated in Mercuy's head over and over, even after all he had done to stop the war, Microsoft still considered him an enemy. He had only been helping to save the world, but they didn't care, all they cared about was that he was working with Sony. "Hey Mercuy" He jumped up from the ground and mumbled a response. "Yeah.. what?" "Visitor for you." | 2011-02-20 07:49:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |

| Kernels Console Wars Epilogue Part 1: ((imma refer to the end of all things as the neutralisation. k?)) --Four Days after the Neutralisation-- Matthews stumbled around in the darkness his headache raging as emotions that he had long cast away came racing back, Switching on a dim red light he looked himself in the mirror, his once ice green eyes had been fizzled out by dull brown ones, he slammed the mirror in anger as he lost all memory of his inventions, New Moral ideas rushed into his brain and he hated it. He stumbled down the stairs of the Lighthouse and brushed his hand along the wall out of instinct he pressed a button as the entire stair case shifted and he found himself at the bottom of the stone laboratory again. Eyeing up the microprocessor he smashed it against the wall, If he could trap his personality in a crystal, then it should essentially be a back up, The Crystal exploded as it converted itself to pure anti-energy, it began to tear at the walls transforming them into pure energy as well until nothing but a crater was left where the great lighthouse once was...

| Got an idea on what the next one could be called: The Console Wars: Ultra extreme extravaganza Nexus Ultimate Ignition Storm Redemption Chaos Explosive Massive Maximum Uber Ingram. Also, why are you still talking in between (( )) anyways? xD Ps: I don't think B3 will be managing the next one tbh, considering he's banned and all. | 2011-02-22 19:40:00 Author: Silverleon Posts: 6707 |
