Cantina Six: Postlude to Holocaust Part II


Redwing

Recommended Posts

Man: It doesn't matter who I am...it matters who you are. Listen carefully. The two persons whom you sense have just arrived on Coruscant looking for a Sith lord. Find these three, and you will find also the answers which you seek. But I warn you, they may not be what you expect.

 

*The man turns and walks away, fading and vanishing like a mist as he leaves the Temple chambers*

 

----------

 

Aidan: *low voice to Marin, before leaving the room* Well, they're going to be no help in beating this thing, if it comes to that. I'd start thinking of ideas.

 

Marin: What if their idea's true?

 

Aidan: What if it's not? Even if they're right, we don't have to figure out how to kill Fenrir. Even immortals can be beaten, you know that.

 

Marin: Maybe...Fenrir can beat Fenrir...

 

Aidan: What?

 

Marin: I'll explain later.

 

Raschel: *to Idun, sympathetically* What are you saying to the dead bodies?

Idun: I'm thanking them for their sacrifice, and giving them my oath that their death will not be for nothing. I'm telling them that they did much more then their duty required, and that the Allfather would be proud of them. Finally I give them last rites and place a rune upon their foreheads.

 

The dead are not necessarily lifeless.

 

*Heimdall enters the chambers, smiling at what Marin and Aidan were talking about. He goes to the center of the room and picks up the silken chain that bound Fenrir. Torn it was still in large enoough pieces that it may prove useful.*

 

Heimdall: We are in luck Gleipnir, is still in long enough segments that me may use it later on.

 

*Going towards the childern, he hands them a small piece of the soft chain*

 

Heimdall: What do you think of this. The more you strain the stronger it becomes.

RH Irvine smiling: "I understand."

 

*RH Irvine turns to take one last look at the temple chambers, and leaves in a flash... Dodging Stormtrooper patrols, getting closer to an Airfield...*

 

Didnt I name WH Irvine's frieghter that in the beginning of the rpg?

 

RH Irvine: 'Okay, I get to these two first, they are close together, and they are looking for the thrid, so my chances of getthing in contect with all three is larger...' *Smiles, then gets a determined expression* 'Still, what did he mean about both of us?? Another person? A Sibling?' "Nah, I doubt it..."

 

*Meanwhile in the bridge of the Phineox...*

 

WH Irvine : "Syrnl..." 'I sense someone... not Lokpehit...' "I am starting to feel a presence of another... Who do you think it could be??"

Marin: *taking the piece and tugging on it* Magically altered?

 

Aidan: *gives Marin a "why-are-you-touching-that" look* Marin...*something catches his eye* Hold on a minute...the walls. Those runes...they just moved.

 

Marin: Moved?

 

Aidan: I swear, one of those runes just changed.

((OOS: Syrnl has a crew on his ship, you know ;) by the way, why exactly did Coruscant give permission for an Imperial Star Destroyer to land in a docking bay?

 

edit: nm))

 

Raschel: *to Orthos, staring grimly at the bodies littereed around the room* All this carnage...blood...death...I can't bring myself to imagine something could do this. Sure, I've seen death...plenty of death...but this...not like this. And the thing that did this is supposedly being unleashed on the galaxy at this very moment...and we're looking for something I'm not sure I believe exists...

 

 

Marin: Hey, I didn't notice that. There's runes all over this room... *takes out the key and keyholder* they look like the runes on this.

 

Guy: *comes up behind them, holding a shred of Gleipnir* Yes. They're in a pattern all over the room. In fact, you're stepping on one.

 

*Marin moves her foot. One of the runes is indeed there*

 

Aidan: ...Wait. Step on that again.

 

*Marin steps on the rune again with a questioning look, and one of the runes on the wall changes character*

 

Aidan: It's a puzzle.

 

*Aidan looks around the room, finds another rune on the floor, and steps on it. Another rune changes* I don't suppose you can read these, Aesir?

Heimdall: The Blood and bodies hide many of the runes. My father had them inscribed when the station was first built. Currently the Runes read: Only the wise shall pass.

 

Obviously to gain...

 

*Heimdall is interupted by a booming voice*

 

Voice: Why do you disturbe the rest of the slain?

 

Idun: We seek a device to set right Gotterdammerung.

 

Voice: Long has what you seek been hidden and kept safe from fools. Only the wise will be allowed access to it. To proceed you must prove your wisdom.

 

Idun: How shall...

 

*At the far end of the room one of the few fully intact bodies begins to move. The body of the dead Einherjar stands*

 

Voice: To prove your wisdom you must answer seven questions. If you fail to answer a question correctly then you will lose your head.

 

Idun: What is the first question.

 

Voice: Ancient this universe is, much that once was known has long be forgotten. What is the name of the race that created the device you seek?

*The Voice ignores the answer and asks another question*

 

Voice: Long has good and evil fought. Where will the final battle be fought?

 

Idun: Ragnarok will be fought on the plains of Vigrid.

 

Voice: Three there once was, now only one remains. Give the names of all of the ones who know the future, past and persant in this galaxy.

 

Heimdall: Their names are Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld.

 

Voice: Not all are from this dimension. Name two powers that are not from this dimension?

Marin: Uh, ...magic?

 

Guy: I think it means something different...magic's more of a concept. The Fey. The Titans. The Oracles. Umm...Oberon's Children. The Styx Daemons. C'mon, at least two of those have to fit the "powers from another dimension criteria".

 

Aidan: What kind of questions are these? This is dependent on our knowledge, not our wisdom.

 

Voice: *ignoring Aidan* Many and varied have been the powers in the war between good and evil. Not all of them have stayed separate from the mortal world. Name the powers that Lokiphet and the son of Furro created.

*Orthos immediatley answers*

 

Lokpihet, God of Hatred forged the Darkstar in his blade. Alminstar, son of Furro, became the Starkiller. They are from the world of Mrear. They are their Avatars.

Syrnl: I feel it is time to show this empire it's folly. And you didn't think the Pheonix was the only one of it's kind? It's just the first

 

*Four other ISD3's drop out of hyperspace*

 

Here we have the Seraphim, The Ragnarok, The Furro and...the Deac...

 

*Syrnl's face fills with sadness at remembering his brother*

WH Irvine: "Srynl, I thought you were here for Lohpehit... Not only that If you think you can achieve anything by conquering Couresant, your just plain mad! Theres hardly anything left in the galaxy, struggling for natural resorces on populated planets wont solve anything, thats why you morn over your brothers death, because of actions he tried to prevent my Father from doing! The very same that you are doing now! Only theres no Deac Starkiller to come and save the day..."

 

------------------

 

RH Irvine takeing control of a small fighter: 'An emotioncal burst from both of those two...' "Whoa!? 5 of those things!?"

(OOS: Hello! I'm back! I created this spinoff, and I'm officially back to participate again! And to be honest, I'm in a hell of a fix. I don't have nearly enough time to go back and read all of PtH again, so I'm thinking that someone'll have to explain it to me. RedWing told me that Josine is on an Aesirian ship, so that's where I'll start.)

 

Light. That's all there was at first. Just a pure, pulsing light. No pain, no euphoria, though that would change soon. The drugs she'd taken were potent.

 

Josine: uhhhhhh.....

 

Obviously not quite awake yet. Now the sensations were starting to resolve themselves, but that blasted light never left. A small pinprick of pain started in the base of her skull and began to travel. Like a virus, it seemed to thrive on moving through her veins, making her entire body, slowly but surely, inflame with a burning, pinching, grinding sensation. Like I said, these things were potent. Finally, after what seems like hours, but was actually a matter of a minute or two, her eyes flutter open. That's when she discovers she's been bound to a bed.

 

Josine: What the... Where the hell am I? And why am I tied to a bed?!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Meanwhile, back in deep space.

 

The mystery man whose name has yet to be disclosed remained in stasis, while his ship, smart as it was, gazed at the stars. Over the course of the last few hours, the ship had taken to recording a myriad of events that had occured on multiple worlds, through the use of the onboard (and extremely powerful) telescope. Unbeknowst to the ship, one of the events it had just recorded would prove to be an unexpected key to a puzzle that, up 'til now, no one knew existed.

((I wrote a recap in the first post in this thread - backtrack there ;)

 

Btw - does anyone still want the old PtH thread stuck?

 

By the way, superthrawn, you're not just on an Aesirian ship, you're on OUR Aesirian ship ;) or rather, Heimdall and Idun's, the Asgardried))

 

 

Aidan: Obviously Frankenstein here can't see too well.

 

*Marin hesitates* We want the device to save this galaxy.

 

Why am I doing this? I could just leave these people, use a portal to get to some other dimension, and if that one's bad too, just keep going until a month's over and we can return back home. I'm sure Aidan is going to leave then anyway - he's just here because I'm here. So why stay? I could get killed so easily...

 

But I won't leave. I suppose it's guilt. I know whatever's happening to this universe isn't my fault, but I feel like I have a responsibility now. I'll just stay and help, and then make a decision again...in a month's time...

 

Guy: The...creature...you had chained up here is loose and attacking the galaxy, and one of the persons who have to kill him is dead. And in the last few days, ah...eighty percent of your galaxy's intelligent life has been wiped from existence. We want the Time Matrix to change that.

 

----------

 

*On Coruscant, the "Imperial Republicans" scramble to raise the planetary shields*

 

Security officer: Where are our forces?

 

Security officer 2: Most are en route from that rebel base. The rest are...still waiting to be called!

 

Security officer: Then hurry up and do so before they jam our communications! Alert all forces on planet as well. We won't go down without a fight!

*Syrnl turns from the viewport*

 

Syrnl: Irvine, we're not here to take Coruscant. We plan to try, don't get me wrong, but we're here to tie up their military whilst my son and his friends try to stop this from happening. Then Deac Starkiller WILL be here to set things right!

 

Launch all fighters!

 

Target orbital emplacements!

 

Fire!

*WH Irvine remains quiet... Then Suddenly gets a glimipse of a mirror image of him self in a fighter.*

 

WH Irvine pointing to the fighter: "There! That fighter! Bring that Fighter in! Srynl do you feel that!?"

 

----

 

*RH Irvine senses the excitmen from his counterpart, and too recieves a glimpse of a mirror image of himself, looking at him, pointing...*

 

RH Irvine: "What the hell??"

 

*RH Irvine guns his fighter to the Pheonix.*

Voice: You have proven your wisdom. You hold sufficent knowledge of the past and future to proceed.

 

*Right behind the dead warrior, a hidden door opens. The warrior slumps once again. Heimdall enters the hidden room with care.*

 

Heimdall: There is another riddle in here, as well as a door.

 

-------------------------------

 

Asgardried: Good Morning child. I assume you are hungry.

 

*the restraints are undone. a moment later a tray of food is brought in by one of the Asgardried's automated droids.*

 

((Superthrawn: Just so you know, it is the ship that is talking,

 

Everyone else: The Asgardried is outfitted with maintence units so it can take care of itself. The Asgardried controls them))

Heimdall: The Door is sealed, according to the inscription if we answser this riddle correctly then the door will open.

 

Time has no meaning to this, as small as a ball, more powerful then anything created. Thought can control it, only the wise will be able to find it.

 

Idun: This has to refer to the Time Matrix.

 

*The door suddenly opens, revealing a portal*
