Sticks and Stones

[Zero]

The body of Marco Stone, or rather his old body appeared right near one of the council members. It was dripping blood. 

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

Immediately the unreported teleport was sealed within a small tube that was covered in Anti-Teleport and AM fields. The council, which was in the middle of its afternoon tea looked on it with surprise. One even dropped his tea and let it break instead of having it float back up. A small mopbot opened from a corner and cleaned it up.

The Zarethian Council Guard rushed into the room, full on battle armor and everything.

A hologram appeared with no seeming origins. It was of a man in a hooded cloak. It was projecting from a device attached to the body.

Zarethians. How did you like my little present?

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

"who are you?" Demanded one of the councilors, the one who had spilled his tea in fact. He was quite furious. Moreso about the the corpse in his council chamber but also that he had SPILT HIS TEA. Tea was very important to him.

The guards traced the signal to the body.

Now if I were to tell you that it would spoil the surprise. But I'll give you a chance to find out. A game of sorts. At that a chess board appeared near one of the senators out side the range of an AM field. The goal of the game is simple. Find the pieces to the board which have been scattered throughout your worlds. Each piece is different, and no two are the same. If you find them all you will be one step closer to figuring out who I am.   As an added bonus, there was no traceable magical signature.

The military immediately responded along with the guard... along with them was Sora. "What in the Councils name is going on!"

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

"We will not play your games! Who are you? What do you want?!" The represenative asked furiously.
The guard at the door pointed at the corpse. "That is what is going on. Probably the BG."

[Zero]

Morons, why would I associate myself with such a pathetic group? At that the chess board vanished replaced by a scroll with a seal so that only the elder that had talked with Rezick could access it's contents. It has a lock on it of sorts. Tell ya what though. I'll make it less challenging for your feeble minds. The scroll contains information that will help you in the games I have planned for your planet. Oh and tell your military to discard their armors in the next 3.5 seconds before I decide to have a little fun with those outdated pieces of junk they call armors.

Smirking at his desk somewhere inside the armory Victor pushed a button. Suddenly lines of code began to trail through the visual screens of every communcations device in the room and a chess piece picture appeared on each one. Care to play?

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

She overheard the rep and the other thing talk about games... "Games? Move!", even with her slender 5 foot 9 frame, she throws the guard out of the way and bursts in with  her sword drawn.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

The councilman shook his head in disgust. "Close this room to all signals from the outside." He ordered another tea from his personal robodrone. "Burn that body." He ordered the guards, sipping his tea. The guards nulled the field and set the body on fire. Then put a field around it again. "Scum wants to play with us. Bastard." The councilman snarled.
