-
The Subverter and 10 Infectors appeared over Autumnavia, already pointed at the planet. They charged up their cannons with the Virus.
-
As with the Narrikans, the First Battalion appeared through a ID-Gate in between the enemy ships and the planet, but this time, surrounded by an envoy of allied ships, while a Isolation Engine was deployed to prevent the gravitational pull of the fleet from adversely affecting the planet in question, and to protect it from stray shots. Autumnavia was a known world, and at that, one off limits to Narrikans by Mechera law, and so thus it would be obvious they'd keep tabs on the planet, even if contact was off-limits. The First Battalion's envoy consisted of the First Legion, the four Battleships of the Mechera within this dimension; all of them named after the old countries of the Mechera's homeworld, two Gateways, and four Divisions, and all ships had their weaponry prepped for battle. While they knew this wasn't the Narrikans from the scans detecting the enemy ships...They did recognize the designs were Aralang. Except the leader ship...It seemed much like a planet in design, except obviously weaponized. A transmission was sent to the opposing fleet.
Aralangs, this is your only warning. This peaceful planet is under the direct protection from interference by the Mechera. Any attempts at contact, whether benign or hostile shall be met with force, and negated. Leave...Or be fired upon. As with all other confrontations...We will not hesitate to attack.
-
They think the Virus are the Aralangs? That will benefit the Virus by a lot. How? The Virus already knows a lot about the Aralangs. Besides the Aralangs themselves, if you want to find out about the Aralangs, the top three sources are Asura, the Garelangs, and the Virus. The Garelang Virus infected plenty of Aralangs and their technology, so it knows the Aralangs pretty well.
A transmission was sent back to Mechera. "We are here, because we have detected Aralang technology being misused here! Haven't you seen anything? We have multiple reports from different sources, all saying that Aralang technology was being misused at this very planet."
The cannons were still charging up.
-
Hmph. This planet does not possess the technological level to have such technology, including if they'd salvaged it from another source, which means the only logical conclusion is that those you are pursuing are no longer here, and their misuse of technology would have happened someplace within the solar system, but not necessarily on this planet. Actually...Give us those sources, and the reports. And stop charging those cannons...It isn't very becoming of you.
The Mechera knew there wasn't anything even close to technology of the Aralangs level here, all you'd have to do is look around and it'd be obvious. Therefor, this meant something was wrong...Either the Aralangs had received a bad tip, they were being manipulated...Or it wasn't the Aralangs. This might prove interesting, but the fact was that these being seemed hostile, at least, at the moment. The weapons were still prepped, and the Isolation Engines were at their highest preparation settings. As fast as the enemy attack was, the reflexes of a machine is unmatched, and with their distance, there was a high probability that a Isolation Engine field could be erected as soon as a enemy attack, and prevent it from laying harm to them.
But then...If this wasn't the Aralangs, yet knew about their policies concerning technology...Then perhaps they had some vendetta against them? And if so...Perhaps war didn't need to be the answer. At least, not between the Mechera and whoever this was...
-
"Furthermore," Kurai's voice rang out as well as telepathically, but sounded like Hikaru's as she phased through the main ship and stood atop it, her looks identical of that to Hikaru's, as well as fully clothed once again. Her black robe gone. Kurai had intercepted the message and decided to play along as well. "I do believe I've overheard some pathetic rumors spread around that, I, Hikrau Tyris, eldest of the Sage Three, the three most powerful magic users on the dimensional plane, have been mistreated."
Kurai held up her hand and scoffed. "THIS IS A LIE! The Aralang's have been very good to me, I in fact love the Aralangs. Any ill-formed propaganda you have heard are utter lies. We are and have always been friends and allies," Kurai grinned a vampiric-like grin as she finished. Oh Hikaru was going to hate her for this. Excellent.
"Now if you'll excuse us, my friends, have had issues of misuse dealing with these people. They are not what they seem to you. It is all a cover up. The people of this planet have been long dead. What is left now is an illusion of a high magic sort that normal beings such as yourself would not pick up. That is why I am here!"
-
The cannons stopped charging, but they held their charge.
When Kurai came, another transmission was sent to the Machera. "We're edgy, right now, ever since the Relorians began using our own technology. A DAMN DISGRACE! You want a source, well she's one of them. The other sources, however, are kept confidential to protect the privacy of the reporters. And like she said, it's pretty much a whole conspiracy. Mages hate us because of a misconception over AM fields. They think that the AM generators represent the entirety of technology, and they automatically think that technology is trying to take over. It's basically full of propaganda and lies to fool people, so the mages can use them to destroy technological factions over reasons of prejudice."
-
Um...Thats...Thats all very good and well about the rumors...But...Hikaru, was it? Who, per say, are you again?
As to you, Aralang, we understand. But that does not mean we can trust you, at least as far as your reports of this planet. If this is true, and there actually is someone who stole your technology, then we would be willing to aid you. But simply because someone misused your technology in this area, does not mean that it was upon this planet. Even if what you say is true about this being a illusion...We would require confirmation.
One of the high-ranking officers got a idea. After the transmission ended, he reported to one of the Fleet Admirals, who thought it was a good idea. As they hadn't used transmissions to convey this, it wouldn't be detectable. The Gateway opened its ID-Gate, and a signal was sent through, bringing resource and trade ships through it, while a few Artillery ships were sent through as well.
These freight ships should be able to help transport any technology found back to you, if it comes to that. As for the Artillery, they are required in a skirmish back in our home dimension. A small rebellion seems to be going on...You understand, correct?
Back in the Mechera Dimension...
The Gateway that the Artillery had exited from received their message...And a ID-Gate leading to a Aralang Dimension was opened. These Artillery went through, and sent a message to the Aralangs...
We require information. At coordinates 2180427/7092348 in Dimension S-57 on the Mechera Data-Maps, are there any reports of a misuse of Aralang technology?
-
"If this was a trick, we wouldn't react like this. What are the Artillery for? And, the freight ships are not necessary."
The Aralangs at Aralia responded. "No. We don't have any reports of misuse of Aralang technology in that location. Are you sure you've got that location correct? Is there something wrong?" At that moment, an Aralang Beam Ship came, cloaked, to find out what's going on.
-
"Look buddy," Kurai growled, very much like Hikaru would do. They didn't know the Sage Three? Well that made that trick pointless. How sad, she had wasted a perfectly good setup on morons. "If you go down there, you'll die. The illusion is of a very high spell type. Lower magic users and inferior mortals would not know of such spell or sense it. It is a very powerful enemy down there using this spell and one your minds can't comprehend. An embodiment of sorts. Just leave is to us, and you may live. It's NOT to be taken lightly!"
-
As we said, the Artillery are taking care of a problem back in our dimension. A small rebellion, it looks like. And as to you...The point is to stop anyone from going down to the planet in question. Until we know for a fact that what your saying is true, we cannot allow you to interfere with that planet's development. We dont CARE about your talk of danger and illusions. We aren't planning on going down there as of right now, and aren't planning on allowing anyone else down there. Besides, if this being is as strong as you say, then its contained by our Isolation Engine. Which means we have plenty of time to talk and for you to either prove its there or for us to decide your either lying or wrong.
Back at the Aralang Dimension...
No, we got the location right. Low-Tech planet, very peaceful. There seems to be a task force there, with a unknown ship design of the Titan Class, and a Mage calling herself 'Hikaru'. Ring any bells?
-
"We KNOW that it leads to this very planet. They were very specific!" the transmission said from the Garelang Virus's ships. (Addressed it as the Virus's ships, to avoid confusion between the legit Aralang ships.)
"Hikaru? That's not right. Hikaru's on Aralia right now. Be cautious. It may be an impostor aiding out the Garelang Virus. We're sending data of the Garelang Virus." Data of what the Garelang Virus is has been sent with the transmission.
An Aralang Keeper arrived, and the cloaked Beam Ship docked with it. The Aralangs saw unidentified ships of the Aralang race, and what appears to be Hikaru. It sent a telepathic message to everyone, "Alright! Everyone, identify and explain these Aralang ships, here, as well as Hikaru! Unidentified Aralang ships, explain yourselves! Where did you get the Aralang technology to create such ships?! And Hikaru, who the hell are you?!"
-
"Who am I?" Kurai grinned once again as she turned to look at the new arrival. "Why, who do you think I am? I am Hikaru Tyris, eldest of the Sage Three! The one on Aralia is the imposter Kurai, you inferior dogs. Have you not noticed she has no magic signature?" Kurai smirked. "We traded places back when that great idiot you call a leader offed himself. There's holes in that contract you have yet to find out. Kurai did say she had ways of breaking the contract. Well, we broke it. For now." Kurai looked bored.
-
It LEADS here. But did you think that maybe they hadn't stopped at this location? Well, it hardly seems like a valid point at this stage. With them here, we can safely say you aren't Aralang. So, then, what are you? No more lying, now, we're far beyond that stage.
As for us, we are the Fleet of the First Battalion in the Mechera Navy. We have no explanation for this fleet of Unknowns here, which we intercepted in their attempts to presumably attack a single, underdeveloped planet we are protecting. The planet is safe at the moment, behind our Isolation Engine.
Since this wasn't the task force of Artillery, they wouldn't have received the data yet, and so they still didn't know who these beings were. However, despite finding out about their treachery, the Mechera made no hostile actions. Not yet, at least. However, all of them further prepared their weapons, a neutral action in Mechera culture, with the Anti-Titan Cannons of the First Battalion being brought out and readying as PSB Cannons as well, and each Anti-Capital Cannon on its side being readied. The First Legion's crust shifted in a mighty moonquake, forming a macabre, chilling kind of jagged smile as its weapons systems were brought out from its interior, and its massive artillery pieces calibrating.
And a small fleet of ships was released from one Division. These were the size of Frigates, but weren't designed for spacial battle. Numbering 15 total, these were the masters of Aerial Planetary Warfare within the Mechera Army...the R.O.K. A small escort of Gunships was made, around 20 Gunships for the lot. These would lead the charge if a battle were to break out. Even if that massive Titan was a ship, it was once a planet, that much was obvious by its design. It'd retain its atmosphere, and there would be structures, and probably vital ones at that, upon its surface. And those such structures would be their targets.
Of course, this was merely preparation. If no battle were to occur, then these preparations would have served as the equivalent of a drill. Its not like they were openly wishing for a battle, after all, but its better to be safe rather than not.
At the Artillery...
Hm...And this...Is a Biological Virus? Yet...It can control machines? How does this work...? This might be very...Very bad...Is there any weapon developed specifically against this monster?
-
"Yes, it's a biomechanical virus. Unfortunately, we have no known countermeasure or antidote against it, as it is extremely adaptive. Make sure you keep your shields up, as those are the only things that would keep you and your ship from getting subverted."
"Oh, so you're now supporting technology? You're calling technology your friends? So wait... seems like you NEED technology, don't you? And what about you, supposed 'Aralang' fleet? You're not Aralang. If you're not, then who are you?"
"Don't accuse them of being the Garelang Virus," the Keeper said to the Mechera. "It will most likely set them off."
Meanwhile, Aralang forces were mobilized for a surprise attack, including the Sajuuk, but they were all cloaked, rendering it undetectable.
"We are those who are loyal to Hikaru," the Subverter telepathically replied.
"So, you're the DACI, then, huh?"
"...Yes... we are. We're now taking significant measures to bring new order to this place!"
-
Kurai nearly frowned. Dammit! They were caught. She KNEW Hikaru would never help technology. Not unless she had to. Which is why luckily, Kurai had planned for just that. "Technology? Me? What the HELL are you talking about?" Kurai's face quickly shifted into a look of horror.
Falling to her knees, Kurai quickly clutched her head in pain. Seconds later she picked herself back up slowly and blinked and looked around her in a confused state. "Where... the hell am I?" Her eyes focused on the Aralang ships. "What the hell did you do?!"
-
This charade is growing old...Mage, stop hiding behind this persona and show your true face. As for you all...Aralang, what is DACI?
They Mechera are not as easily fooled as this Mage obviously thinks. In fact, that simply seemed to piss some of them off. The mere thought that someone wouldn't know they were surrounded by technology, and just happening to realize it then...How gullible did she think they were?
The Artillery's crew mulled this over. How was it made? Something biomechanical must have a artificial origin, after all.
-
"It's been made by the Garelangs, hence the name. It magic was used to produce the Virus," the transmission said to the Artillery.
"The DACI is the Democratic Aralang Civilian Independence Party," the Keeper replied to the Mechera. "It's basically a resistance against our current government."
The supposed DACI telepathically laughed manic. "We need you, Hikaru. You're a great asset to us. We couldn't lose someone like you. Besides, we're working on the same end. We want what you want. Of course, you wouldn't agree with us, since we are Aralang and technological, so we had to force you a bit. But, you will appreciate it in the end."
"The DACI are worse than we thought! You're supposed to be peaceful! Now, you're making the DACI look like hypocrites! What you just did is NOT acceptable!" At that moment, the Aralang fleet arrived. It included the Sajuuk, 14 Keepers, 3 Dreadnoughts. However, that's not it. 10 Elite Keepers and 2 Elite Dreadnoughts also came. They emitted every anti-field they had, keeping the Virus' ships from escaping.
All of the conventional forces were undocked and attacked the Subverter. The Sajuuk and the Dreadnoughts charged up their cannons. The ASF went and attacked the Infectors, using their tractor beams to make the Infectors violently collide. The Infectors couldn't do anything to stop this from happening. While that's happening, the Elite Dreadnoughts charged up their cannons while the Elite Keepers and the conventional Keepers shot at them. They were all tractor beamed to be clustered into one pack.
The Garelang Virus reacted by sending out all of their strike craft against the enemy strike craft. However, the ASF strike craft aided the conventional strikecraft, which severely bested the Garelang Virus' strike craft, despite being outnumbered. The Elite Fighters, Elite Gunships, and Elite Beam Ships were too agile, shielded, armored, and gunned for the Garelang Virus. The Infectors couldn't do much in aiming while being thrown around at each other. They were forced to remove their charge and use the energy for shielding.
Of course, the capitals, super-capitals, and titans were doing their job in fending off the strike craft. The Infectors were having a tough time doing it, though.
The Subverter shot the beam of Virus, infecting it entirely within seconds. Anything and everything on the planet was infected.
Kurai was beamed aboard the Sajuuk. There, she met Gaserlake and Leserlake.
-
As soon as she was aboard the ship, Kurai silently laughed to herself. Oh that was too easy. Holding her arm with her other hand, Kurai looked the two in the eye. "Psyche." She laughed aloud in a sadistic tone and scraped her nails against her arm in the blink of an eye throwing blood everywhere.
Thing were about to get interesting.
-
In the blood was the Garelang Virus. It reproduced itself and multiplied, and then it spread at an exponential rate. It attempted to infect Gaserlake and Leserlake, but due to the Elite Energy, it was unable to do so. The Virus spread around the titan, infecting anything and everything in its path. Gaserlake and Leserlake stood there. Gaserlake smiled, while Leserlake looked at Kurai in shock.
-
The cuts healed themselves almost immediately as the blood of a Phoenix would heal, magic or not. But that didn't stop the blood that had sprayed. That had already done its job. "Unlike Hikaru, I'm not above using anything to get my way," She laughed and held up her hand in gesture. "Technology, magic.. Both. Doesn't matter to me." Kurai showed her teeth in her next smile, her sinful nature showing. "I'm Evil."
"Now drop down and bow, DOGS!"
-
Gaserlake laughed at the command, while Leserlake told her, "Fuck you!", pulled out a gun, and shot at her at the neck.
Meanwhile, the Virus infected the Anti- generators. It then deactivated the AM generators and activated the AAM generators, which overwhelmed the entirety of the battlefield. It also deactivated the ASE and the AJD fields, too.
-
The moment the gun was shot it blew up. As for the laser pulse its self, Kurai merely teleported out of the way once the magic was turned back on. When she re-appeared she had her own looks back. From the magenta hair down to the sleeveless black tattered robe which was now noticeably a few inches shorter. Starting from every battle and losing a few inches, it now cut off to just below her belly button, giving a perfect-eyed view of her below. Luckily, feathers covered that part of her. Kurai's smirk, however, did not letup.
"Now now doggy, that's not nice." Kurai cat-walked to the twins a whip of pure black negative spirit energy forming in her right hand, and the feathers of wings falling out and being replaced, giving the notion of a shower of evil spread around her. Her eyes glinted maliciously. "I only accept bitches that are obedient. Like that cute little virus you're all so afraid of." Kurai cackled.
Raising up her hand, flames of spirit fire formed around the two, entrapping them within a ring of the light-blue flames. As that would keep them busy for now, Kurai cocked her head and stared at them. "So where is my better half? After all. I don't want to kill you unless she can watch."
-
Gaserlake and Leserlake weren't seduced. They were very resistant to that. Leserlake didn't say a word and looked down in defeat.
"She's in Aralia," Gaserlake answered. "Don't really know what's happening, besides a huge earthquake going on."
-
Kurai frowned. "You die later, then."
Turning back, she looked around her before shouting aloud as well as telepathically. "Now get us the fuck out of here." Kurai grinned, "We have two brats to find."
Turning back to the two fallen leaders, Kurai glanced to them. "Unless you want to disclose the information of your Special Forces, that is."
-
The Virus has successfully infected the entire ship.
The Garelang Virus' ships cloaked themselves, and then went away, leaving behind the strike craft. The Sajuuk went to a point in space in the middle of nowhere, while the Infectors, the Subverter, and the infected Beam Ships went to three different points before going back to Japae. The rest were destroyed, despite being cloaked, as the Aralangs knew the last known location of them before they cloaked, and then they tractor beamed them in place.
"How much do you need to know?" Gaserlake asked. Leserlake stared at him in surprise.
"What are you doing?" Leserlake asked him telepathically.
"Doing what I think is best," Gaserlake replied.
-
"All of it, none of it. I hardly care." Kurai snapped her finger and a crystal wine glass appeared within her hand. Then falling back into the air, she sat on the literal air its self with her legs crossed giving a perfect view of 'that place.' Raising her glass upward, blood began to our from the air out of nowhere, into the glass.
"I'm still going after the brats. They're fami?ly. That means they die." Kurai laughed for minutes before raising her glass and tipping it to her lips. The blood pouring into her mouth. When she was finished, the glass re-filled its self and she held it out. "Want some"
-
"Well, I can tell you that the Special Forces will hunt you down until you're dead," Gaserlake said.
"And who are these 'brats'?" Leserlake asked.
Gaserlake looked at the glass of blood. "Uh...sure?" He said.
-
"My better half's children." Kurai answered. Then glancing to Gaserlake, she smirked and shattered the glass, shards spraying everywhere. "Too bad." Standing back up she released the whip and stared point blankly at them. "Now get naked."
-
"Uh...yeah...no..." Gaserlake and Leserlake both said at the same time.
-
"Very well." Kurai pouted. "I guess I could always rape you with the clothes on."
-
"I don't think it would be considered rape," Gaserlake sensually said, winking at her while smiling.
Leserlake looked at Gaserlake like 'wtf?'.
-
"In your dreams." Kurai rolled her eyes at his reaction. "Now get to explaining, dog."
-
"Alright, hun," Gaserlake smiled. "Anyway, the SF are pretty damn secretive about what they do. I'm already saying too much about them."
-
Kurai merely looked at him. "No duh." She growled. "Now disclose EVERYTHING."
-
"Oooo. An angry chick. Time of the month, eh? That explains where you got the blood from," Gaserlake replied. "Anyway... I'll disclose everything... where do you want me to start? It's not a simple subject."
-
Kurai held her hand out. "Location. How to kick their ass. How to attract them TO kick their ass. And how to completely humiliate them. Any and everything. Oh. And where the contract is."
-
"And if I don't tell you this stuff, you'll kill me, huh? How do I know you won't kill me anyway?" Gaserlake asked.
-
"No. I won't kill you," Kurai replied. "I'll start with your brother in front of you."
-
"We're martyrs," Leserlake finally spoke. "If we have to die, then so be it."
-
"Very well." Kurai raised her hand causing the two to raise into the air. Then twirling her hand, she caused them to be turned upside down, hanging. Beneath the two, the spirit fire spread out into the center of the circle right where they would be dropped if Kurai wanted it. "Now. EXPLAIN." Kurai commanded.
-
Gaserlake laughed while Leserlake prepared himself for death. "Spare my brother. I'm more disobedient than him. If we both die, it would be my fault," he said. "Look, there isn't really any simple way to beat them. They're pretty damn trained and shit, and there's a lot of them. Location, however... I'm not telling. They're in some dimension, but that's about it that I'm telling. The contract? Up your fucking ass!" He raised the middle finger at her.
-
"That's not nice.But alright." Kurai released her hold and let them fall. The flames however disappeared from the center before they fell. "You die the same time I kill my better half. Till then, enjoy the show." Kurai spun around, turning her back to them. "Guess I need the brats after all." She closed her eyes and entered a meditation, scanning the dimensional plane with her magic for the two magic signatures she wanted.
-
Gaserlake laughed more, as Leserlake sighed in relief. Leserlake sat down to think, while Gaserlake curled up in a fetal position.
-
The Subverter shot the beam of Virus, infecting it entirely within seconds. Anything and everything on the planet was infected.
OOC:*cough cough*...No, dont wait for me, Im just the guy here protecting the planet and...Y'know...Who'd help the Aralangs in a battle...>> But I guess I'll settle for keeping the planet safe.
The Mechera are machines, which means their reflexes are faster than a biological creature's. As soon as shots were fired between the Aralangs and 'DACI', the Mechera put up a Isolation Engine around their fleet and the planet, to protect it. they were determined to keep it safe, and that they would. While the Isolation Engine was active, the First Battalion, and all the Divisions charged up their PSB Cannons, preparing for a strike to attack the apparent enemies.
The Battleships as well charged their Energy Collector Weapons, in preparation for if the opponents were still there when they released the Mirror Shields.
(1/3 charge for First Battalion's PSB, 1/5 charge for all Division's PSB, 1/? charge for energy collector weapon things)
-
As soon as the Virus' ships left, the Special Forces left.
Gaserlake and Leserlake relayed information via Aralang Linking to every Aralang they could reach, including those in other dimensions. It was where they are, what they're in, and what's happening. They know where they are, because the Linking System served like a GPS.
