Large structures of crystal began to replace the ones that had been previously made by the Warrior Humans. Yet why were the structures being replaced and what exactly was going on with the Warrior Humans?

Justin Lorrisain himself was arriving in a few days and as leader of the Warrior Humans and the current holder of the dimension key which he had taken from Arceis Verino once he had gotten out of jail, well he was an important visitor.

Brightly colored banners were being woven by the women as the boys and old men began to work together on spells that would prevent hostility during his arrival on the planet. A banquet was being prepared by the young girls made from local animals, and some food from the semi truck.

One of the women with a clipboard in her hand walked off to find Benjamin in order to talk to him and gain permission to do the feast and subsequent banquet. She timidly walked to his house and knocked on the door of it not wanting to anger him.

The door opened, a quietly intimidating man appeared in the doorway, there were some intense voices in the back round. The man, named Nosferatu, stared down at the girl. "How can I help you?"

"Is Benjamin here?" asked the woman as she approached. She wanted to be sure that everything on her clipboard of plans went exactly as had been ordered by Justin. She knew what he had done to the last bunch of Warrior Humans to displease him and she did not want that to happen. "Look, it is kind of important that I talk to him."

UnStellar · « **Reply #3 on:** July 03, 2010, 06:39:53 PM »

Nosferatu gazed doubtfully down at her. "What is it that is so important? Give me the details."

â€œSee, there is this man named Justin Lorrisain. He recently took over the Warrior Humans as leader and is coming to this world to see if we are doing fine. He is a powerful magic user and I thought that Benjamin might like him to help out on this world if that is alright with Benjamin.â€ said the woman.

UnStellar · « **Reply #5 on:** July 03, 2010, 06:58:38 PM »

Nosferatu quietly closed the door and stepped back, walking carefully until he came to a large table where Benjamin was conversing with other appointed Paxan leaders. He leaned over and whispered into Benjamin's ear,

"A warrior human girl is here. She says: Justin Lorrisain recently took over command of the warrior humans, and is coming to Xap to check on them. He is a powerful magic user and thought that you might want to help him out on this world." Nosferatu had a photographic memory and was ferociously neat. It had made him the right hand man of two of the last Bellicus rulers, and now he was Benjamin's.

"Send her-" Benjamin angrily snapped, but than paused and began to think. The Paxans stared at him well he though, and Nosferatu stood straight as an arrow behind his leader. "Gentleman. I think I have a plan. I don't want to say it right now. Later tonight. You can leave now." And with that, the table of men scattered, most of them opening various colored portals and teleporting away.

Benjamin stood up, walking to the door and opening it himself. "Come in." he said simply.

The woman knocked on the door. She would tell Benjamin exactly what Justin was coming to see and why the structures had grown taller. They had grown taller to reach up to the sky and generate a special kind of barrier in the sky that prevented Anrufe portals as Justin had memorized two of their magical signatures and had sent notes about their magical signatures to aid in construction of the barrier.

OOC: Doors already open.

Looking badly beaten she entered. She had been flogged by one of Justin's agents for failing to complete the modifications and the shield in the time it would take for him to get half way there. Welts covered her body as she entered.

UnStellar · « **Reply #9 on:** July 09, 2010, 05:08:51 PM »

Benjamin lether in and closed the door carefully behind, ignoring her wounds. "What are your people doing out there?"

Zero · « **Reply #10 on:** July 09, 2010, 05:12:36 PM »

"Preparing for Justin's arrival. And for his coronation ceremony. I am not sure what all they are up to, but his enforcers are unusually brutal this time. Something must have happened that put him in a bad mood."

UnStellar · « **Reply #11 on:** July 09, 2010, 05:14:31 PM »

"You have my permission for him to visit. On one condition." Benjamin said coolly, examining his bare hands. "He comes to visit here after the ceremony for some... Negotiations." He said slowly.

Zero · « **Reply #12 on:** July 09, 2010, 05:18:11 PM »

"I will make sure he knows." said the girl before hastily running for the exit. She feared getting whipped again more than she feared benjamin.

UnStellar · « **Reply #13 on:** July 09, 2010, 05:32:10 PM »

Benjamin turned to his constant companion and trusted body guard Nosferatu, who stared wordlessly at him. "You know what I'm going to do?" Nosferatu nodded, a man of few words. Benjamin stroked his chin. "Is it wise?" Nosferatu had much experience in advising his master. "Perfect, sir. For all of us."

Zero · « **Reply #14 on:** July 10, 2010, 12:56:23 AM »

Approaching Benjamin's hut was a squad of 10 men with one man in their center, the leader of the Warrior Humans, Justin Lorrisain. He was different from the Warrior Humans and he looked different as well. Why had he come here? His coronation had ended and he had eaten enough, but he had not drank any wine or eaten any salt yet.

â€œAlright. This girl said you wished to speak with me?â€ The girl, her arms covered in bandages as she had been hit much harder now was brought forward by the 5 men behind Justin.

UnStellar · « **Reply #15 on:** July 10, 2010, 02:05:36 PM »

Benjamin was alone as he invited the man and his guards in. He put on a smile as the men came in. "Justin, is it?" he asked the man.

Zero · « **Reply #16 on:** July 10, 2010, 04:32:50 PM »

"Yes my name is Justin." At the beckoning them in the men entered as did Justin, still protectively circled by the men and the girl entered last, looking scared of Justin and not of Benjamin. Her eyes seemed hollow somehow as if she was missing something.

UnStellar · « **Reply #17 on:** July 11, 2010, 03:37:15 AM »

Little did Justin know what Benjamin's Vuist was doing at that very moment. "And you are the appointed leader of the Warrior Humans?"

Zero · « **Reply #18 on:** July 11, 2010, 02:15:31 PM »

Justin pondered the question while at the same time mentally sending a warning to the Warrior Humans to be on their guard. A risk would not be advisable for him or his people and so he had just told them to be on their guard.

He would answer Benjamin politely but firmly.

â€œYes, I lead them. I was trained to be the successor for their leader and when he mysteriously vanished someone had to take command of them. So I was the one they all chose, and here I am today.â€

UnStellar · « **Reply #19 on:** July 11, 2010, 03:11:18 PM »

Benjamin's smile faded. He was not one for beating around the bush. A portal opened behind him, and Nosferatu, his Vuist stepped through. Portals opened up all around Justin and his guards, various Paxans stepping out.

"Justin, allow me to introduce you to the Xap Council."

Zero · « **Reply #20 on:** July 11, 2010, 09:12:58 PM »

"So why exactly am I needed here?" He had realized that a lot of the Warrior Humans needed medical care and that one of the duties as leader was to provide it. He focused on that problem for a great few moments. Supplies would be needed and plans began to race through his mind about everything that possibly would be needed for this world.

"I can help you a lot given a chance. "

UnStellar · « **Reply #21 on:** July 12, 2010, 05:55:23 PM »

Since inhabiting this new world, Benjamin split up the planet into twelve parts to better manage it. He gave the eleven sections to eleven powerful Paxans. Although they had full authority in their section, or country, Benjamin was still in command of them.

Each of those twelve countries had one leader, and one Vuist. So, surrounding Justin and his guards were twenty-four of the planet's most powerful magic users, a hand full of them perhaps equal to Benjamin himself.

"We, the Xap Council, only want two things in this universe. One, we want the Warrior humans off our planet. And two, we want to bring Xap equal to Pax's former glory." The twenty-four men surrounding him each gave a small nod to indicate they agreed. Benjamin stared steadily at Justin.

"You are in the position to give us both of those things."

Zero · « **Reply #22 on:** July 12, 2010, 06:08:37 PM »

Sympathizing with them Justin said "I too would have the warrior humans leave this world and restore it to it's former glory. However there is a slight hitch in the first part of the plans namely that there is NO and I repeat NO unoccupied worlds that can be currently obtained through magic or science. "

"But I will attempt to restore Xap to it's former glory if all of you agree to send your forces up against the Anrufe with help from my forces. If we succeed, the warrior humans would have their own would, be indebted to you and more importantly be off this world. "

UnStellar · « **Reply #23 on:** July 12, 2010, 06:15:14 PM »

"I don't think you understand." Benjamin said, as Nosferatu hands him Last Justice. "I do not plan to fight for you. I plan, to hand you over."

Benjamin's eyes glow red, brimming with energy.

Zero · « **Reply #24 on:** July 12, 2010, 06:24:02 PM »

"Fine. " Justin left the room before Benjamin could do anything and concentrated his magic communing with that of the other warrior humans and beginning to use the memories of the former Paxans to turn the world into what they remembered before the planet had been destroyed.

Once that task was done Justin opened a brief case and all the crystal structures flew into it and so did the Warrior Humans and then he teleported away.
