((I...don't remember that part. ^^;;))

 

Woman: If I do...everything I love will perish anyway. I cannot. I must not.

 

K'Warra: Mother of God, have you gone mad, or senile, or both? You can't fight fate. Everybody dies. Except a few immortals, and you're not one of them.

 

Woman: You, Immortal...you know what the Arc is...you tell them. And then tell me...how you can ask me to do this...this horrible thing.

 

*K'Warra frowns*

Arc Musea

 

H'lena: What horrible thing? K'Warra, what is this Arc, anyway?

 

K'Warra: Come on. You're from a frame of time far ahead of me...and you haven't figured it out already?

 

H'lena: No. Just tell us, we're running out of time.

 

K'Warra: Where are we now, Sister?

 

H'lena: Tercutta Musea...

 

K'Warra: Come on. Where's Tercutta Musea? Have you ever been there before? Gone sightseeing there? Seen it on a map? Read about it in a book?

 

*H'lena is silent*

 

Woman: If I unlock the Arc...all that is around us shall perish.

 

H'lena: But...this King Veldimos who used it...

 

K'Warra: This legendary King Veldimos used the Arc and wiped out an army of millions, an army that covered an entire desert. What the legends didn't mention was that the army in question was actually two armies. One of them was his own.

 

Woman: The Arc must stay locked up. Each time it has been used, its power has increased, and one more use will put it out of all control. It can never be put back. You ask me to choose between the death of the length and breadth of everything I have ever known, versus eternal sleep for the entire universe. What would be your choice?

Outside

 

*The skyships, gliders, and Trael have joined forces, attacking Shunaria. Unfortunately, their missiles, magic blasts and laser bolts have about the same effect as throwing pebbles at an elephant.

 

Shunaria swallows one skyship whole*

Arc Musea

 

*K'Warra laughs*

 

K'Warra: I wish you good luck with that.

 

H'lena: What is she talking about, K'Warra?

 

K'Warra: Do I have to spell it out for you? We're right smack in the center of the Deadlands, sister. Before they were 'dead'. Blast radius? The size of one and a half continents. And permanent. Unless the Deadlands have gone away in however many millennia have - will have - passed by before your frame of time.

 

H'lena: That's impossible. The past cannot be changed. We did not create the Deadlands. Thus we cannot---

 

K'Warra: Welcome to reality, H'lena! This is how fate works. One way or another, this will happen. Fate doesn't care who does it. It might as well be us.

 

H'lena: How will we survive this, let alone these people? No life, no magic, exists in the Deadlands.

 

K'Warra: That's an irrelevant question. I'll probably survive. You, well, I don't know how you've lived so long, but your friends...they're all dead. No chance they'll survive. Not even Drago. Sorry.

 

*Looking at the others* What? You came here to save the multiverse. This is how you save the multiverse. There's no other way.

 

H'lena: There is always another way. Always.

 

----------

 

Outside

 

*Shunaria roars, shaking the earth. The dragon is engulfed in flames.

 

Far down on the ground, in a patch of grass, lies a small pinpoint of firey light, the Phoenix Gate activating itself again.*

Deac: Wait...what about the Aeges...the guys who sent us on this thing...they wouldn't just leave us...they couldn't...

 

Hammerhead: I know little of gods, Mr Starkiller, other than ones from my world. But I do know Thorg sent me here, and if I were to die, he would allow it for the good of my brothers. This life is not the end. Shunaria can destroy everything in the multiverse...but he cannot destroy our souls. If it is our fate, and their fate to die, what is one plane in one time for them all? For everything?

*Talon stands there puzzled, his weapons should have eliminated K'warra for good he thought. For another moment he thinks about it, but then desides that there must have been a flaw somewhere. But now wasn't the time, Shunaria was around and looked like a more of a prime target.

 

Talon looks at the fire.*

 

Talon "Are you going to stay there all day now? I hardly think you needed that much time to prepare yourself."

 

*a set of eyes glow from within the flames that consumed Davin.*

 

?? *deep voice* "Who says that I am?"

 

Talon "Ah so the two of you finally desided to stop it with the bickering and got down to business, thats good. We have vermon to kill."

 

?? "We?"

 

Talon "Yes we."

 

*WH Irvine was sitting on an old wooden chair on a porch infront of a building nearby.*

 

WH Irvine "Perhaps I could be of some assistence?"

 

Talon *to WH Irvine* "Who you? You couldn't even hold out a few whelps from that portal you were supposed to guard. And in this dimension you have none of that ability that you had."

 

WH Irvine "Oh please like you to talk, You hid your little secrets about your clever swords you got."

 

Talon "I see you're insinuating that you're keeping something from me? Like you could have used it to prevent all this?"

 

WH Irvine "Shut the hell up Talon. You know what I'm talking about."

 

Talon "And you're not even a quarter of the man that you were."

 

WH Irvine "Look at that out there.." *pointing to Shunaria* "Does it really matter. Even if I try and die, it'll be better then sitting on my ass now."

 

Talon "If you're about to be put down, Don't expect my help."

Arc Musea

 

H'lena: Actually, we were promised no such thing, remember? We think that's what they'll do. We really don't know. We really don't know if they can save us. *She glares at K'Warra* What, exactly, were you thinking when you tried this? Why did you care if Shunaria gained immortality?

 

K'Warra: Hey. If you idiots hadn't ruined my spell, destroyed the Soul Gem, got the Avatars eaten and dethroned 'Queen Elizabeth', Shunaria would be long dead by now. Nice work there. If you're going to blame anyone for this, blame yourselves.

 

Rwos: Well, now we know why we were chosen...the Aeges cannot act here. That's why they needed us to do this. Hells! We must be missing something here. We couldn't be sent here just to die! Flax, you're right, the Aeges couldn't have taken us out of such vastly separated and interlocked time streams if we weren't going to survive. We need to be returned in our proper timelines, or we will not exist. We have to be missing something!

 

*The blue Twi'lek Jedi in the corner suddenly speaks up*

 

A'melie: Reletha Darkstar.

 

Rwos: What?

 

A'melie: We were told that Shunaria was her master. She said her master forbade her from allowing anyone through that portal on Ulna Shardes...that portal we took to the castle Shunaria had deserted and found that crazed gargoyle...*She looks at K'Warra*...ghost of him. *K'Warra raises his brows*

 

H'lena: You're right...why did Shunaria care whether or not someone could get in his castle? He wasn't using it...would never need to return to it...and certainly he wouldn't care whether someone released K'Warra - who got out anyway...

 

Rwos: That's it!

 

K'Warra: That's what?

 

*Rwos turns to the woman* How does the Arc work? Where did it come from? How does it kill?

 

*The woman sighs*

 

Woman: Creatures from another world brought it here. I do not know what happened to them, but my ancestors believed the Arc killed them. My ancestor, Recan Veldimos, found their ancient skyship in the middle of a jungle, and meddled where he did not belong. He took the Arc, and the Arc took him. It was only as small as a ring, then, but it went into its mind and changed him, and his descendants, forever. He used it deathly power to gain great riches and power. He assassinated the King of his country and took his place. The Arc grew ever-larger with each use. The larger it grew, the less my ancestor could control it. Finally he stopped using it. He took a wife, and their children grew to be adults before his kingdom was attacked by another army from a land far away and much more powerful than ours. Our armies met on the desert battlefield of Wekeji. Our army stood no chance.

 

K'Warra: If we could hurry this story along? Shunaria may finish eating the armies and innocent civilians out there any minute now.

 

Woman: Recan took the Arc, against the advice of his wife and children, and journeyed to the battlefield. When he reached it, our army had already broken and fled. Their pursures chased them relentlessly, running them into the ground. In a rage, Recan activated the Arc. He was unable to control its power. Every single living thing forleagues and leagues was destroyed. The magically erected mountains on the very borders of the desert were leveled. Everything died in a flash, in only seconds. The only survivors were Recan Veldimos himself and his children. His wife died along with the others. In grief, Recan went back to the place of his birth - here - and killed himself. His remaining subjects built this city to honor him. His descendants left for lands distant...except for my ancestors...and me. *She looks at her daughter* My child does not have the proper blood to be protected from the Arc. It is diluted by too much magic. *She closes her eyes* Yes, I have stayed here, and now I must kill all whom I love.

Town Outskirts

 

*A red, metallic streak rushes over Talon's head, carrying a bright flame with it. Shunaria, smashing a few houses, dives past the town borders. It is distracted by Davin's flame, much brighter than the one the winged being had carried*

 

Shunaria: <FOOLS! You shall all die painfully!>

 

*It lunges its immense head down for Davin*

*Both Talon and WH Irvine run in opposite directions away from Shunaria.

 

Davin's eyes glow bright at Shunaria's threat. The flame that surrounded him flares up and explodes as he in his new form leaps up agenst Shunaria. His new form consists of him being a large dragon himself, not even remotely as large as Shunaria. His shape wasn't a long dragon either, but one that had bulked arms, and stood on his legs.

 

He grabs onto Shunaria's jaws. Using Shunaria's momentum, Davin pushes himself off to a side and rockets up in the air.

 

At this moment Talon races back and slashes at the side of Shunaria with the two swords, creating another explosion.

 

WH Irvine in a decent spot for cover, he pulls out his signature Lightsword. He narrows his eyes as he ignites it. After that he closes his eyes and lowers his head, taking a deep breath. Then he opens his eyes real quick with a face of determination as a white-ish aura forms around him.

 

He smiles as he knows that he isn't as powerful as before, but it was something.

 

He bolts out of his cover and back onto the street, at this time Talon has struck oonce again, and Davin was attempting to scorch Shunaria with white-hot flames from his mouth.

 

WH Irvine runs for a bit, then sort of springs himself into the air...*

Arc Musea

 

Rwos: But what is the Arc? And how does it work? Surely---

 

*The woman sighs again*

 

Woman: Once I remove the Arc from its prison, its effects will take place instantly. It is in this prison because it can no longer be completely shut down. I will only be able to increase its killing field, or bring it back to a smaller killing field. But all beings without powerful protection will die in the space of an instant. Within minutes, or seconds, everyone would be dead and all magic would be gone.

 

Trael: The Arc is a machine...a machine designed to destroy all life.

 

*H'lena and Rwos whirl, startled. Trael is hovering in the Arc Musea's entrance. He is holding the burning Phoenix Gate*

 

Trael: I have studied the Deadlands. The power there dissolves magic and literally suppresses the life force. It is a power that could only be generated by a machine. *He looks behind him* Shunaria comes quickly. I would advise that we leave. Speak quickly, Rwos.

 

Rwos: Shunaria's castle was cut off from the outside world. It was on a separate plane altogether. We use the Phoenix Gate to drag Shunaria there - and we can use the Arc without killing an entire continent.

 

H'lena: How would we survive this? How will we avoid killing the entire worlds that Shunaria has eaten?

 

Rwos: We only need to use the Arc for a few minutes. It dissolves magic before dissolving life force, right? We activate the Arc. H'lena, K'Warra, you create magic shields for as long as you can. *He looks at the Nalas* They can help to, if they want to live. We use the portals of Shunaria's castle to escape.

 

Trael: Perhaps a feasible idea. If Shunaria is fatally wounded while under the influence of the Arc's power, he would be unable to recover, and those he has devoured would be released. However, you risk destroying the beings he has already swallowed if the Arc is active for even seconds too long. Not to mention that the risks to anyone present are extreme.

 

*But hope ignites in the woman's eyes*

 

Woman: Another world...take the Arc to another world? This is possible?

 

Rwos: With the Phoenix Gate...yes.

*Shunaria swallows the flames Davin bellows at him. He tries to snap his jaws on Davin, but is distracted by Talon*

H'lena: I'll try. *She glances at K'Warra* And so will you, if you value your hide. *She crosses to room to talk to the cowering native gargoyles*

 

K'Warra: You're forgetting I want Shunaria dead as much as you do. *He appears to suddenly remember something* Excuse me, I'll be right back.

 

H'lena: Wait! Where do you think you're going?

 

K'Warra: You've forgotten about Elizabeth. The vampire Vertmor may still have her. I'm certainly not leaving her here four hundred years in the past. Or her sister.

 

*He leaps into the air and flies out*

 

Trael: I will wait to activate the Gate until Shunaria is here. Since the Gate's essence is inside Shunaria, opening the portal now may alert him to our plans.

*Davin flys away from the distracted Shunaria, then loops around to Shunaria's torso and attempts again.

 

Talon on the other hand was hitting Shunaria with a blast, only to rocket away in a flash, to turn around and hit Shunaria once again using his blazing speed.

 

WH Irvine floated away from the action with an open hand, slowy powering up a sleeper destruction ball.*

 

----------

 

Alley

 

*Vertmor gets up from the rubble to find Elizabeth had ran off...*

 

Vertmor "Stupid girl, she'd..."

 

*He couldn't finish his sentence as he felt the shockwave from one of Talon's blasts. He looks up to see a small portion of Shunaria's torso between the two buildings.*

Outside

 

*Shunaria snaps his jaws at Davin, barely missing. A powerful thrust of the dragon's tail knocks Davin away in WH Irvine's direction.

 

Shunaria's body leaps into the air, thrusting at the two. Irvine, hovering in the air, presented the best target. The dragon opens his jaws wide and swallows Irvine's destruction ball, then Irvine an instant later.

 

Shunaria turns to Talon, now the nearest enemy, and lunges at him, missing and plowing through a whole row of buildings. A lone soldier hiding in a deserted house becomes a half-second snack.

 

Nearby, K'Warra alights next to Maria and Elizabeth, who had just caught up with each other. Elizabeth clung to Maria*

 

K'Warra: Time to go.

Arc Musea

 

*H'lena smashes the sarcophagus free of its pedestal. The blue light holding the Arc moves with the coffin*

 

H'lena: This has to be the first thing through once the portal is open. *She tries to lift it, and it drops* I need help here, this thing must weigh several tons...

Hammerhead: Allow me

 

*Hammerhead begins lifting , and takes most of the weight. Deac peeks outside to see Shunaria coming in their direction*

 

Deac: It's coming.

 

Hammerhead: Mr Starkiller, help would be appreciated!

 

*Deac runs in and begins lifting*

 

Deac: Come on motor enhancements, don't let me down.

*Talon and Davin take turns of destracting Shunaria and attempting to inflict damage to the massive dragon.*

 

Davin *telepathically to Talon* This isn't working

 

Talon Quitter. Nothing is done in an instant, and you haven't broke a sweat yet.

 

Davin Like you would either..

 

Talon Any suggestions then oh fearless leader?

 

Davin Funny. Supposedly this Arc thing is something important enough, it might be something to kill off this damn thing!

 

Talon Fair enough, we've given your human friends a long enough time to figure it out, let's lure it to it...

*Trael flies into the air, and hovers next to the sarcophagus.

 

((OOS: Assuming Davin and Talon went inside the Arc Musea))

 

A second later Shunaria bursts through the Arc Musea's wall high above, rubble exploding everywhere*

 

Trael: Deflegrate muri tempi et intervallia.

 

*A huge, firey portal opens in midair*

 

Trael: *as Shunaria descends upon them* Get the sarcophagus through, now!

((Davin should freak evereyone out, looking like a dragon now ^_^))

 

*Davin notices the group struggling to pick up the sarcophagus, and quickly goes to one end and picks it up and flys quickly through the portal.*

 

Talon *looking at K'Warra briefly* "I'll take of you later..."

 

*Talon waves his sword in the air, creating a controlled burst at Shunaria.*
