((ok, since it turned out no-one what so ever was bother by this plot, i shall use my backup plan story in order to sort out the plot.
I am fully aware that the two plots so far i have ran, have both ended with some sort of destruction, or big event.. this is due to the whole flim/comic book thing i was trying to do, which seems those here arne't overly happy, or interested in, since its like maybe a normal thing in the city for said events to happen due to the fact of what the city is, City of Heroes.
Anyway, here is the last ish part of the Battle-master plotline: A future's past. hopefully it should be enjoyable.))
Battle-Master plotline: A future's Past: Our solemn hour.
Atlas city, city hall. 15th of jan 2008, time: 8:50 pm.
Curran hurried along the path along side the city hall, from the monorail station, his raptor pack had cut out suddenly and without warning above the path a moment before, and was now laying broken on the ground behind him as he walked off.
"Darn machine, never did work after Unit got it's robotic hands on it." Curran muttered frowning as he held on tightly to a CD rom disc in his hand, a hero ran past him stopping just for a moment to look at the pack before running off again.
Curran slowly walked up the steps to the dorrs, standing there was one of his guards, as well as the City rep for G.R.A.T.A.R.U. wearing his suit and holding onto a brown bag.
"Sir, everthing is ready upstaires for you, the system link up post is active." Said the Rep, looking to his somewhat annoyed boss.
"Good, now go make sure noone come to the room while im there.. i don't want to be stopped, understand?" Curran muttered to him, before pushing past him and walking inside.
"Of Course.. Curran.." he said looking to the guard, ".. i'll inform Andrew, you try to buy us some time."
The Guard nodded and ran off down the steps,and picking up a nearby waiting raptor pack, before flying off.
Room 24a, City hall.
Curran opened the door of the room with an almighty bang, looking around quickly before closing it behind him, there in the room was a computer station, monitors and a map of Paragon city. Curran hurried to the computer, and poped the disc into the driver, up on the monitors came the Grataru logo, followed by the tiles and then the countdown, with read "5 minutes: 24 secounds.", to which Curran smiled and chunkled to himself.
"finally, the whole thing is coming to a head, those idiots don't even know about, this time i win."
Slowly something moved in the far corner of the room, before a black throwing dagger flew out and stuck Currans face, but the only damage was his sunglasses being knocked off, and his face cut to his nose on his right side.
"AH! what in the world!" Screamed curran turning holding his face in an attempt to stem the bleeding from the cut.
"Thats what you get for having me beat up, and trying to kill andrew." Said a voice from the darken corner.
"Who.. what are you?" Curran asked before relising that he was the only one who was there, ".. wait.. it's not important.. you can't stop me.."
Curran quickly tapped in the commands into the keyboard, with his free hand, making sure they were right before pressing enter.
G.R.A.T.A.R.U. Tower, Andrews cell, time: 7:55pm
Meanwhile in Andrews cell, the door flung open, and stepped in was Simmons, Wendy and Fred, followed by two Guards.
"Andrew!" Shouted Wendy, running over to him, as he was laying on the floor, just about breathing.
"Andy, buddy... wake up, don't you go dieing on us now... you hear me." Said Simmons, also running over to help Wendy.
"He's alive.. just.. Curran must of done this beore he headed to the control room, you two.. get the med teams down here now! Shouted Wendy, moving Andrew into the recover position, the Gurads both nodded and called over the radios for medical assistance, before standing outside the door.
"He's going to be ok isn't he?" Asked Fred, looking worried, he knew that he had some part in what had happend.
"He will be.. he's a fighter.. and real hero.. only someone like that could of withstood Currans anger for this long and still be alive at the end of it." Replied Wendy smiling carefully to Fred, before looking back at Andrew.
"Right.. i just hope our friends have luck at the control stopping Curran before it's too late." Said Fred, standing up and waving over the med team.
"Me too." Said Simmons looking over at the monitor screen on the wall, " it's up to them now.."
Room 24a, City hall, Time: 8: 58 pm.
Curran looked up as yet another black throwing dagger shot past his arm, bouncing just of his armour and stabbing itself into the wall.
" Nice throw, dimwit.. thats not going to stop me, less than two mins to the new era." Said Curran as the door suddenly flew open, Standing there was Doctor Devass Vector, holding his modifiled laser gun.
"Vou, Zir.. can't not be allowed to do Zhiz.." Devass said pointing his gun towards Curran.
"YOU! your the one who was leading those bots against the tower.. your the one who should think again!" Shouted Carrun holding out his hand, it glowed with the firey green glow of his powers.
"I do Zhiz for Unit, he azk for my help.. and i gave it!" Repiled Devass lowering his weapon, and pointing to the monitor.
On which was the computer model face of Unit, made up from zores and ones, slowly unit voice came over from the speakers of the computer, has the count dwon hit 30 secounds left.
"Curran, you must not be allowed to active the said event, i was sent back to stop it, to save this world, and now i complete my mission, by stopping you, and saving the future which you made, from coming to light."
As unit's voice echoed over the room, the mointors filled with the codes and override nuumbers, unit was halting and closing down the reactors for the sheild projector network which was to cover the city. The first one to go down was over Galaxy, then Atlas, then it spead out from them, like the virus that the override program was, slowly the projectors shut down and turned off, the energy grid which contected them to each other was re routed to feed the end into a storage batteies dotted around the city.
Peregine Island, time : 8:59 pm.
The Hunters Guild Grandhalls, hovered up a little as the energy for the Great sword was just about to be unleased, the glow was bright, the sky althrough nighttime was almost as bright as day, the clouds of the storm which whipped around the crystals under the halls, which made the blade of the Great Sword, while the tower abover seems to glow eirely aswell, the moment had come, yet below the Sheild projector had just actived and the sheild was there, it's bluey glow was the oppersite to that of the green white glow of the Great Sword.
Suddenly the air filled with static energy and the humming was so louded it could be heard for miles.
"It is time, we drive the sword's energy in to deliver the final blow, and end this war." Said Master Dark, as he nodded to the other Council members, as they dropped their hands, outside the glow from the tower started to fall down towards the crystal blade, and shoot forth from it.
Just in time, the sheild from the projector cut out and the small isle was hit, yet seem to take no damage, as the shockwave spread out in a ripple in all directions, it true power was unseen to thoses without magic, but to those on the isle, the Cultists, they just vanished, turning to dust, their tunnels crumbled and fell, everthing they had was destoryed everything that they had built, had controlled was gone.
It was almost as if they had been deleted from there, nothing remained of them, at least nothing which was there are the upper layers, far down in the earth in a hidden lair was Searess Deagcen, and a few of the more loyal cultists, in a safe heaven away from the main base they had mostly surlived the blast from the Great sword unknown to the Guild, and all Searess Daegcen did was grin evily then laugh evily, the war wasn't over the Guild hadn't of won.
"Those fools think they have won? Idiots, don't they know.. that when one evil is removed, another stronger evil takes it place."
((ok everyone that is involed with the battle-master plotline: A Future's past, this is the post which should hopefully explain everthing you may need to know, the first post on here is an IC Story of three sides of the event, G.R.A.T.A.R.U, The Huneter Guildand the other timeline side,one tech, one magical and one which is a mix of both, so it is for you to make up your minds to which side to stop, which will effect the outcome and characters of the plot, of course there is a thrid option, which is to do nothing.. which would trigger off the other timeline to over right the persent one.. which they in the other line are trying to stop.
Anyway enjoy and please post up any and all questions.))
Battle-master plotline: A Future's Past: Countdown to a new world.
G.R.A.T.A.R.U. Tower, galaxy city, 14th of Jan 2008, 8:00pm.
Curran walked upto the monitor station followed by Wendy, Simmons and Fred, the numbers displayed on it shown "23 hours: 59 minutes." Curran turn around and stared at them, his grin was almost shocking to look at, everything he had done, all those hurt during the battle outside, the guards that had lost thier lives, everything was coming to an end.
"People, we are about to make history.. to bring this world a new era.. one of peace.. and of control." Curran said grinning more, ".. one of the end of those annoying heroes."
Wendy and Simmons looked shocked and turn to Fred, who was was staring back at them, before turning to Curran.
"Sir.. maybe this isn't a good time.. i mean.. after the invadion force of those bots.. and the floating land mass above peregine island.." Said Fred suddenly, looking to Wendy and Simmons.
"Not a good time! This is the thing that will bring about a new ERA for mankind, and rid us of those heroes, once and for all." Screamed Curran at the top of his voice, making the others step away from him, in fear.
"But.. Sir.. Curran, andrew had a point.. this isn't the way for that to happen.. please don't make us do this." Asked Wendy going to reach for Currans arm.
"ENOUGH! if you don't help.. then your just on the wrong side.. as i thought all along.. your all against me." Shouted Curran, forcing Wendy's hand away from him with a slap.
"Curran.. sir.. we're not against you.. just is the fact Andrew is right.." Simmons apoke out suddenly looking at Curran, frowning at the slap he had given Wendy's hand, "you got to believe us.. before its too late."
"Enough! thats the last of it, Guards! take them to the holding rooms on florr eight now!" Barked out Curran as the guards appeared at the doors of the room, before grabbing Wendy, Simmons and Fred. "i thought better of all three of you.. now be gone."
As he spoke the guards lead them off, out of the room, Curran turned back to the mointo unit and tapped something into the keyboard.
"I can do this without them.. i don't need assistance for the final stage.. i can remotely activate the whole network from the city hall.. in atlas."
With that, he turned and slowly walked off towards the door.
"They are all wrong.. none of them understand.. this isn't about the past.. but the future.. we dont have any need for those idiotic, pain the backsides.. they call heroes.. where were they when i needed help.. i ask you."
The Hunters Guild, grandhalls, hovering over a small isle south of Peregine Island, time: 8:10pm
Master turned around and looked to those others of the High council of the Hunters Guild, they were all around what appeared to be a large crystal table, on which could be seen the image of where they were over, an island, the same island Drade had had his last battle with Magnus Fliheart, slowly they look at each other before Master dark spoke, "My Friends, Council members.. the time has come.. we shall strike in a days time.. the Cultists shallthis time not be able to escape the power of the Great sword, and it's energy."
"Of Course, Master Dark.. shall we begin the enchanting now?" Asked one of the members of the council from across the table.
"We shall, indeed.. we do this for Drade, and to end this war that has continued for centries." Master Dark said before beginning to chant some runic words.
Suddenly the whole island began to shake and earth crumbled down from under the floating mass of land where the buildings and towers of the Granhalls lay upon, slowly four large crystals came out from the rocks at the under side, as the chanting from the guild filled the night air, then another one seem to poke out downwards from the land, it's shape was like that of a blade, above it was the main tower of the guildhalls, which looked from a distance just like a sword hilt, slowly the now five massive Crystals started to glow. The eirey light from them lit up the sky, clouds above and just below the floating Guildhalls, started to swirl around them, those on the nearby shore looked up in sheer Shock and horror, the whole guildhalls it seemed was the legendary weapon, The Great Sword, and its pointed crystal blade was pointing at it's target, the isle where the Cultists base was, where Drade had is greatest battle, and had thought to of lost his life.
On a nearby smaller isle, with a single tree stood, and a stone sword, appeared a flicker of light, it hovered around then seem to be joined by tow others which encircled it, swirling around it, it's glow changed to red, then back to a white colour before it flew off towards the mainland, leaving behind the now glowing stone sword, and the plague that stood at the base of the tree.
Some time and place in the Future.
Slowly Night Enforcer, the red haired girl, and Temporus stepped into the command center room, it's tech and magic mixed was unseen, nothing like it could be made, standing in the room, by the control center computer was Andrew, along with two others, by the table in the room was standing a rather old looking Drade, his long silvery hair tied back in a ponytail, and his brown and reddy armour just visable in the light of the room.
"My Friends, the time has come.. we will now see if andrews plan has worked.. and we have change our future, for better or worse." Drade said looking up at the three of them walking over to him.
"Of Course it will work.. the whole thing was set in motion years ago.. by Vector here, sending back the armor to me." Andrew said glancing behind him quickly.
"Indeed, but has it worked..?" Asked Drade glancing over to Andrew.
"Hey.. it will.. calm down and wait, the sheild is up.. the displacer is online, and evrything is going fine our end.. it's up to them in the past to make the right choice now." Andrew said, showing his face, which was half robotic, he was now a cyborg, the only way to of lived that long.
"Thats all good and well.. but remember we livedd it once.. and it turned out like this.. so i aint hopeing or anything" Replied Night Enforcer sitting down at the table.
"He's kinda right... i wasn't there at the time.. but from what the history book that made it past the big bang, it wasn't good." said the red haired girl sitting down next to Enforcer.
"Just don't think im going to jump us all back again.. the last time took most of my power from me, remember.. Drade." said Temporus, stareing at Drade with his old arms crossed infront of him.
"you won't have to, this time will be different, i know it.. somehow.. i just know it.. they will do it this time.." Drade said turning around, showing his back to them brifly, his duel swords still on his back, the shadow blade and shinning blade. "I just know it."
