Haboring The Planet

[K2]

A bright light erupted in the darkness of space that surrounded the planet of Helios! The planet had not been detected on any of the sensors of the K Empire, and no visual contact had been made with it – a rather bizarre circumstance. However; the planet was giving off several rare isotopes which had been registered as unidentified by the K Empire computers during the last flyby of the area. It warranted investigation, because if the element that the K Empire now believed was present somewhere in this area of space really was here, it would be an excellent find for development of new technologies.

Out of the “light”, which quickly faded behind it, came the brilliant forms of the K.E.F. Eiffel Tower and the K.E.F. Keys, two majestically large ships which demonstrated the size and strength of the K Empire. They had just warped right into orbit, and could now see the planet, as well as it's moons... And they were dumbfounded.

Fiske Tyris, leader of the K Council – the K Empire's legislator – was roaring orders at his men inside the Keys.

“SCAN EVERYTHING IN THIS AREA FOR LIFE FORMS!” he yelled, “SOMEONE TRY TO FIGURE OUT JUST WHAT WAS CLOAKING THIS PLANET!”

He was fascinated. How had his people not seen this planet before!? How had they not been here, when this planet was giving off such rare isotopes? Surely it should have been something that they could have detected from lightyears away... How had this planet kept itself cloaked?

“Send a transmission,” he ordered, “An open transmission on all frequencies on my mark... One... Two... Mark!”

Attention all life forms, please respond. This is the K Empire Fleet Keys along with the K Empire Fleet Eiffel Tower. I am Fiske Tyris, brother of the Emperor of the K Empire. Please respond.

From behind the shadow, with an unsettling majesty fluttered the wings of a creature whose shape was indefinable. It had just arrived from who knows where, as its blazing talons perched on one of the moons, the roar of crumbing rock and burning atmosphere filled the moon with a shuddering sound. Letting out a piercing screech that rippled through the very fabric of local existence, allowing it to hurt the ears of anyone near, regardless of the void of space between them and this creature.

The screech was accompanied by a torrent of flame glowing a strange fleshy color, hitting the formation of ships. The fire seemed to move in strange dance, as if it was truly alive. Feeling out the ships weakness by merely burning where it was easier and as if focusing burning nothing else. No energy was wasted.

[Ragnar the Red]

Unfortunately the bird was on the other side of the shadow, and therefore inescapable of attacking the K fleet inside due to ignorance of it even being there in the first place. The bird would also be in dangerous proximity to Lorcar airspace, and after screeching would be catching the attention of any of the giant arthropod adversaries on patrol.

Meanwhile (on the moon Utalia) a few analysts were looking at the incoming transmissions from the other planets. The New Gia Project was now a few weeks under way, and things had seemed to have fallen sub normal. Upon receiving the message, Dannas sent a message to the Crfl station reading,

Haha, very funny. You're not fooling me again.

At the Crfl station Gimmy replied,

No, it's real this time. Look outside.

It was then that the people on Utalia monitoring the radar got through to Dannas.

Nvm

After a few minutes of deliberation, the Heliphlien people responded ,

Fiske Tyris of the K Emipre, we hear you. This is UCH, the United Confederation of the Heliphlein.

[K2]

Even had the figure made it through the cloak, they would have failed to impact the K Empire's ships, well shielded. Upon receiving a reply from a nearby moon, Fiske sent back another message:

Code: [Select]

We would like to engage in trade with your people for a rare element known as Neudimensio.
Fiske walked to the observation window on the bridge of the ship, peering out at the planet below. It was everything he had dreamed it would be and more... He could see the raw elements below, the atoms moving at intense speeds... Neudimensio.

[Capxeno]

The creature's fire actually burned away the shadow, taking on the properties creating a new kind of fire. Aserical Shadow Fire, mixed with the strange flesh fire, it burn through the powerful shields of the fleet as if it was made of paper. You see, whatever this creature was, it was more powerful than the shadow and the shield combined. As the shields burned away, the creature of indefinite shape disappeared. Something was wrong... very wrong. Considering a goodly amount of each kind of rare element or particle disappeared with it... almost as if something was taking samples.

Many sigils around the local air space began to glow, surrounded by an odd energy. Only to expand into a number of artificial stars, created by these sigils. In moment these stars would coalesce into one rapid expanding star, threatening to engulf the gas giant in its inferno.

Where the creature had been, a ting sapling of a tree remained. Strange that it was not crushed by the creature's talons. Throughout the local system, a chanting could be heard from an unknown source.

"From the light of betrayal
In the name of fairness
We were crossed
With what remains
We shall fight.
Allow creations to rend these traitors
Without anything by a single seed
As our weapon."

[@Pokemon Master Red]

Indeed, the screeching did alert the Locusts that were on their patrols nearby, though at first they decided to move on. Slim pickings, after all, one bird just doesn't cut it.
Then the bird made a giant fnarking sun.
This most definitely caught their attention. The Raid Fleet sent three Wasps to investigate, and kept the Hornets on standby in case their reinforcements were needed. Perhaps this would be useful...if nothing else, though, all threats to the Maltruse System must be obliterated. And this...seemed indeed to be a big threat.

[Ragnar the Red]

Unfortunately for the bird, the shadow was not flammable. It had no real tangible elements to it. It was not made of atoms, but of magic. A magic that made it unknown to everyone, and anything. Embodiments had based by this shadow for thousands of years, and never known its existence.

Unfortunately for the Rper controlling the bird, there was absolutely no way the bird could have known about the system. However the Rper had everything to know about Shattered's rules against metagamming.


Meanwhile, completely oblivious to the recent events outside their little world (including the sudden creation of stars that narrowly avoided contact with the Aserical shadow and seemed almost unable to form near it), the Heliphlien were scrambling around, asking themselves what it could be he was talking about. Finally they responded.

We do not know what you mean by Neudimensio. We believe it may be called something else in our languages. Could you tell us more about it?

[Capxeno]

Unfortunate, for the RPer who made this system, it said nothing about hiding magic signatures. Thus The creature had sensed the magic signature, no ands ifs or buts. Because of the kind of fire the creature, anything could become part of it and become a new kind of fire, even a kind of magic.

So yes, the shadow could be burned by this fire, and burn it did. Now as for the suns the were continuing to form, they were not normal stars. These stars were generated rapidly using very intricate magic. The creature was no long her, but its magic continues to grow, the rapid growing stars slamming into the three wasps, and nearing the moons, planet, and the K Empire fleet.

The star could indeed form near the shadow... because the star were made of the same kind of fire that ate away a section of the shadow. Eating away at this system ancient protection, the stars grew.

The sampling was no longer a sampling... it had grown into noble tree.

No.  Breaking the fourth wall is definitely not allowed even in narration or summary. If you have a dispute with a post either PM the person or start an OOC dispute topic. The RPer NEVER comes into IC posts EVER. Unless it's a stupid joke in the OOC section. But for IC written battles, and such, no. This is your informal warning, yours too Cap.)

[Ragnar the Red]

OOC: Hikaru, that is a misquote. That entire paragraph is is OOC, just unlabeled. Nothing IC happens in it, so it is not breaking the fourth wall. If I have to label it always, I'm sorry, I'll edit the post. I thought the double line skip made that clear. However if you think I'm going to let a greifer (and yes, Cap, that is by definition exactly what you are now) destroy months and months of work, you'd better be ready for years of posting.
Also, Cap, one word: Anidranium. Look it up in the tech requests. It hides anything near the crystal from anything magical, and the only known mine in the universe is on Kaltjnheim, a moon of Helios. It's power increases with size like diamonds increase in value: exponentially. While there may not be one crystal that could hide Helios on its own, there is more than enough unmined crystal in pieces to hide the planet and all of its moons. Ergo, you're birdy griefing device is no more powerful than embodiments, and has no way of seeing that the place exists. So stop trolling me. I will never forgive you if I have to use a Deus Ex Machina.
Also, I am pretty sure Angelic beings are on a higher plane of existence/mortality than sages. Sages are another race, an exceedingly powerful race, but a race nonetheless. Even Phoenix sages can die, their just reborn. That makes them mortal. Angels can't die, they can only be destroyed/ eradicated/ erased from existence. If not then the Archangel would have gone out far easier than that. And either way, your phoenix sage is not Hikaru. Nor is he the embodiment of fire. Fire may bend to his will, but Will will not always bend to his fire. If you burn something that is nonburnable nothing happens unless you make it burnable. And since the shadow is undefinable due to it's nature, you can't just say it burns. You must point and shoot, which you cant do without luck, my help, or metagaming.

The temperature on the surface of Helios went up four degrees. There were no other effects inside the shadow.


Edit: OOC: Alright, I'm sorry for exploding on you, but it is infuriating. I have a new strategy that will end this one way or another.

A beam of silver light flew by with instantaneous speed. As it flew directly into a star, it seemed to take the star with it: absorbing the energy with a silver light. When the whole star had been consumed, most would be surprised by what stood in its place. His hair glowed silver, along with his eyes. Suddenly a silver glow began to encompass the suns and the tree. Something he was doing. Something old, and something dangerous. However he was not here to start a fight, but to end one. The stars slowly began to shrink, and the tree was turning back into a sapling.

"Sliph!" The man shouted in a commanding voice.

[Queen Bright]

(You never pointed it out. Also, in Cap's defense, you never said it was protected against sensing magic signatures, just impossible to find which is godmodding it its self. Angels? They are of this existence and plane. They are from the North a realm outside of the Dimensional Plane, yes. But that does not put them outside our plane of existence in realities sense. They are no more powerful than a mere mortal at times. It depends on the individual angel.

Angels CAN die. They are not immortal.

Also BS on the last paragraph. Phoenix Sages have to go through my approval as it is my race. You cannot just NPC one out of nowhere.)

[K2]

The ship sent out a transmission to the people of Helios:

Code: [Select]

We will send delegates to meet with your people in a moment. Please hold, thank you.
It began to focus on the stars which were quickly expanding, and decided to fight fire with fire... Or rather, magic with magic. The mages aboard the ship responded accordingly and summoned Holy Water which, like the stars, began to expand in size, larger and larger as it grew from feeding on the base magic which had been used to create it.

[Ragnar the Red]

OOC: I know I can't just NPC one out of no where. It's Cadinae Rybic. I've requested him, and even had him in an extensive topic with Relle. Un BSed.

[Capxeno]

Sliph's name was never utter because NO ONE here knows that name. As the stars shrank, it caused it to implode... leading to an even faster expansion.
You see, the Helium Fire turned the Holy Water into Holy Water Fire. While hard to control due to the caustically opposite force, however, it was ignited. The very forced those mages were using was turned against them.

It was as if, whatever they were fighting was a natural disaster. The combination of three strange fires burned away at all that was in orbit of Helios, would at least damage anything in the system. As a sapling, grew back into a noble tree. Actually, there was now a forest of noble trees. Of a venerable size, these trees continued to grow, and spread across the moon, at a frantic pace.

[Ragnar the Red]

It did grow back into a tree, and then to a forest yes, but only for a brief second. Cadinae's magic was to powerful. Though he was flexing with all his might, red, and sweating, he was able to reverse the time flow of the suns to the point where they were simple specks of light, and the sapling to a seed.

"Sliph," Cadinae uttered with an outward breath.

OOC: Yes, Cadinae does know Sliph's name. He touched him when he flew by and turned into a phoenix sage. Doing that, he also would absorbed memories from Sliph, and of coarse the memories would include his name.

[Queen Bright]

(Cadinae was never approved. Calto was, but not the alter ego. That much power, and abilities that are borderline godmodding? Needs to be approved. And NO, secret approvals DO NOT count.

Also, You can't use phoenix sages WHATSOEVER without my approval as it is my race, so yes, BS.)

[Ragnar the Red]

OOC: The Cadinae was approved by both K2 and Jeebus. That's what 'Addition Approved at the bottom of the page is referring to. And technically the power to have other people's powers is no more overpowered than whoever's power he has taken. He can't even take the abilities of embodiments, the most powerful PC Characters here. It's not like he has them all at once. The main thing that makes him overpowered is that you say he's overpowered. In reality he's only on par.
I know secret approvals don't count. Public ones do though (and Harassment Reports), and 2 has always been enough. Unless you want to go back in time IRL and reform to three approvals, you're stuck with Cadinae IC.
To take a power here is a simple interaction. Saying I can't take a power is like saying I can't talk to another character or defend myself.
UnBSed.

[Queen Bright]

(It was approved in secret by those two not in public. It is not approved.)

[Ragnar the Red]

OOC: Link to public approvals in previous post.

[Queen Bright]

(That does no count. Why? Because it was never put up FOR approval in staff chat. Oh sure, I was yelled at for posting it, but those two just approved it without putting it up for approval. The rest of us never got the chance to say what was wrong with it. And oh believe me, there's tons wrong with it that need to be fixed.)

[Capxeno]

the creature of indefinite shape disappeared.

OOC: Sliph hasn't been in the system since, you are dealing with what he left behind. Never touched him.

[King Jeebus]

(That does no count. Why? Because it was never put up FOR approval in staff chat. Oh sure, I was yelled at for posting it, but those two just approved it without putting it up for approval. The rest of us never got the chance to say what was wrong with it. And oh believe me, there's tons wrong with it that need to be fixed.)

(You posted it. It was also in the staff chat for all the staff to see. You had PLENTY chance to contest it when it was being kicked about. You didn't. Cadinae is approved.)

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

(Cadinae was never approved. Calto was, but not the alter ego. That much power, and abilities that are borderline godmodding? Needs to be approved. And NO, secret approvals DO NOT count.

Actually his character has 2 approvals for the charater and the addition each. His charater IS approved. Get over it, seriously.

[Ragnar the Red]

OOC: Alright then, it's settled. BS saying Sliph and turning into a phoenix sage. The silver time magic shrinking the stars and sapling remains.
And also, there's no date on the quote. Can you quote the entire post or at least direct me to where it is in the listing? I still can't find it.
