"How many assholes we got on this ship anyhow?"
|
Arriving from here: http://s10.zetaboards.com/Pokemon_Legacy_RPG/topic/7469203/1/ Team: Til'k 64 Helsing 86 Lexx 60 Gray 74 Dandelion 75 Pyro 88 APL 74.5 The Idle Settings for the battle: Speed EV's 255 SP. Defense EV 255 Apricorn making posts: 2/10 Floyd really didn't have that far to go. The shrine grounds were right outside of town, after all. The universe just felt like procrastinating because of the domino effect of events that this significant meeting was about to begin. Picture it, a snow ball teeters at the top of a snowy mountain precipice. This is what this moment in time was for Floyd, only he doesn't know that. The universe does though, groans at the long journey in the coming timeline. Skipping ahead. We see the orange alien and several of his friends walking through the forest... Rustling leaves and deep emerald cloaked the damp wood. A small clearing, brushed with gold light, stood empty save for a single stone shrine. Lichen clung to the carven shapes sides, and a blanket of fallen leaves lay at its base. This place was forgotten, save for the infrequent traveler who graced its existence by stumbling through on their way to Deepwood. Accidental visitors who knew nothing of its history nor cared enough to ask. The latest guest of the ancient sacred place was no different. He had passed the location before without care, only to return on a hunch, and a clue from a poem. Lost in an ancient unknown keep A book of secrets lays buried deep To the forest of ancients return the tome To honor the traveler and lead them home. Home was what had began this journey and his desire to return was so overpowering that he was blind to the subtle beauty of the tranquil place, or the significance the shrine had once held. Leading travelers home was the key to the poem that clue he had based all of his hopes on. Years ago he had been stranded on one world, only to be yanked from his own dimension into another. He was placing a heavy bet that the creature he sought belonged to this enigmatic puzzle. The book of the poem, he had already obtained. Its words were as alien to him as he was to it. But perhaps words did matter, if the poem was to be taken literally. He removed the tome from his pack where he had guarded it carefully through his trip from the Ruins in the north to the woods in the south where he now stood. He was excited, nervous, and his hands trembled. After so long, he might finally have the answers he sought. One cautious step at a time he approached the shrine. He was holding his breath and his head was swimming. With an unsteady sweep of his hand, he dusted the leaves from the shrines surface. A moment later the musty volume found its way onto the dais. He stepped away and waited. [And the rest of the story is pending a successful chat battle capture. Which, as reluctantly as I would like to admit, I'm now ready for.] |

"How many assholes we got on this ship anyhow?"
|
3LP for suffering through this! And for the record, this was our first run with a non-admin running a legend chat battle WITH admin supervision. Jance and Adoobe were both keeping tabs. We're experimenting because obviously, Frac is doing fun with RL stuff. Now for the rest of the story.... Apricorn making posts: 3/10 He didnt know what to expect, but he did expect something to happen. Only, nothing did. The forest remained as silent and empty as it had been before the book was in place. Floyd span around, panic rising in his throat in the form of heart sick bile. His tenuous grip on his composure began to crumble away. He had placed so much hope on this being the right place, this being the solution to the poem, and the poem being the right one, that he never once considered how he would feel or what he would do if he was wrong. The strength in his knees gave way and he crumpled to the forest floor, too stunned to utter the anguished cry he felt. Hello? a high, childish voice chimed inside of his skull. Shock and pain writ across his eyeless face, Floyd clapped his claws over his ears and snarled. Flailing about he finally found the source of the psychic noise. A small green sprite was perched in the trees behind him. Heavy black eyeliner rimmed its large curious eyes. Its brows were tipped by thin, insectile antenna. It had a bulbous head, pointed with a fluffy peak of something which reminded Floyd of a plant based material. The sprite had wings like a dragon fly, a small body and disproportionally shaped limbs. Floyd might have been horrified if he didnt find its voice so painful. Im sorry. Did that hurt? I have no other way to speak with youbut if you dont need anything, Ill be going. I was sure that something had summoned me though The creature fluttered down from the trees and began to make its way toward the shrine. Ragh! Yes, I summoned you, fairy. He shook his head, trying to acclimate himself to the high singing voice. Just turn down the volume - you dont have to yell. He was still adjusting to the Legends sudden appearance. Relief was slow to seep into his veins. However, relief there was, and hope soon replaced despair as he met the creatures gaze and studied it more closely. It was really quiet ugly. Oh. I didnt realize I was!The little winged thing implored piteously. Humans arent very receptive. I always have to yell at them. It darted about the air, looked around, and found a stump at the edge of the clearing to alight upon, and there it settled to rest its wings. Im no human. But Ive had my fair share of psychic pokemon. I can hear you just fine He rubbed his temples and sighed in relief. The ringing was starting to fade. He was beginning refocus his thoughts and remember why he needed this being so badly. Alright then, why did you bring me to this time? Celebi asked, getting straight to business. It even propped its chin daintily upon a little fist and poised a very serious expression. Now was his chance, after so many years he was finally going to get answers. His excitement welled up and tied his tongue. He stammered had to stop to take a deep breath, then he began again. You brought me here. Floyd gushed. You brought all of Legacy here around eight years ago. Oh! I remember that. It was horrible. That nasty king thought he would bend me to his will. He thought he had won in the end, but I was able to save you most of you anyway. Floyd jumped, all nerves. The world hed come from was not nearly as important as the dimension. He had to know what happened. Most? The king destroyed the planet. I wasnt able to save everyone. Only Legacy. The fairy replied sadly. Did you bring me here to speak of sad things? Id really rather not. Floyd leaned forward eagerly. You must though! I have to know what happened! He was no longer hanging back, but leaping towards the sprite, thrusting his toothy maw in the little creatures face. The dimension that world was in, is it intact? Tell me! Celebi pulled away from the aliens rank breath, tumbled backwards, and caught itself mid-fall with a swift flutter of its wings. Hey! Watch it! The fairy dusted itself off indignantly. Personal Space, you should really look it up. Floyd recoiled with a vehement growl. Thats better. Celebi narrowed its eyes. Why is this other dimension so important to you? Isnt it obvious? Im NOT human. I wasnt from that world. Any hope I had of returning to my own world was lost when you brought me into this dimension with the others. Is the other dimension intact? Does my world still exist? Please! I have to know. He knelt, exasperation chattering his self-control. Please tell me? Please goes a long way. The legends harsh expression softened. I cant tell you if your world is intact, but I can tell you that the King only destroyed the world where Legacy was located. If your world was far away, it would not have been affected by his actions. With a heavy sigh of relief, the Scavian fell on his back in the leaves. He stared up into the sun dappled canopy of green, dazed and elated. Thank the gods! He breathed. All he knew and loved had been allowed to continue whatever course fate had in store for it, and knowing the Empire, it was doing just fine. After a moment, he recovered and sat back up. Celebi was watching him intently. Anything else, or am I free to go? The voice chimed. Can youCan you take me home? He asked uncertainly. The little fairy shook its head sadly. It wasnt me who brought you here. I dont have that sort of power. Didnt have the power? Floyds hopes came crashing down around him. This entire encounter had become an emotional roller coaster and he wasnt sure how much more he could bear. Then how did we get here? Celebi looked away, and then looked back, fixing Floyd with a steady gaze. Are you sure you wouldnt ratherbattle or something? That IS what you trainer types do isnt it? No? The fairy sighed. You may wish you had. I cant give you the answers you want. I will tell you that while it was my idea to rescue your people, I did not do it alone. I had help wait, sit back down. Im not telling you from who. That information is something you are not ready for. Floyd leaped to his feet and began to pace. Not ready. Not ready? How can I not be ready? Ive been ready to go home since I got here! Its not a matter of being ready to go home, its a matter of being ready to do what it takes to get home. It will be no easy task. Celebi gently chided. Floyd stood tall, and for a moment resumed the old military stature which had made him a formidable foe. I am ready for anything you can throw at me! Saying nothing, the legend popped out of existence. In its place was an egg. The voice though, was still in his head. This egg will hatch when you are ready for the answers you seek, and not before. Until then, I suggest you face your fears. The voice faded, leaving Floyd more frustrated than he was before. Face his fears? What did that mean? His patience was at an end. With a cry of rage he screamed, Get back here fairy! Im not done with you! A few birds fluttered from the tree tops, but no one came to his call. Once more, he was alone. He sat down in the leaves seething with barely checked contempt. A fist slammed into the ground, having nothing else at hand to vent his anger on. The ground was indifferent to his plight and left him a sulking heap of orange scaled misery. The sun seeped through the canopy and splashed over his back, casting his shadow on the ground before him. The lump of depressing gray tones with jagged horns offered no help. Above this though, the silhouettes of the tree branches from overhead danced and swayed. One fat lump of leaves cast a blob of black that, once his mind began to wander, resembled a whale. Beside this imaginative shape, a gnarled trunk became a hulking monster breathing fire, and further away still, a thin wisp of twisting branch was a serpent crawling across a sky of grass. The inspiring shades struck a chord inside him. Perhaps he knew what Celebi meant after all and he didnt like it. Meanwhile, the egg waited with Celebi's secrets locked away inside its shell. |
