The Concordat 2

[The Concordat]

Episode One Epilouge: Sphericus, as it had come to be called, had been a victory for the Dojo. The entire Concordat fleet that had chased Syllak's ship through the random void had been destroyed, but at a terrible cost to the Dojodians. Few had made it off alive. The entire world was destroyed.

The defeat was not so damaging to Concordat. They disciplined the commanders responsible, then continued their galactic campaign as if nothing had happened. Their force was simply too large to be interrupted by even a loss such as that.

In the depths of space, something stirs. On the fifth moon of the World of the Dojo, a small Norn takes notice of the irregularity in the sky. The stars are shimmering, creating a wave effect. The Norn watches with excitement and fear as the shimmering slowly shows the form of a space craft.

Its massive indigo hull becomes fully visible, and at the same time, hundreds of other shimmers form around it. Within moments, a massive fleet of thousands of ships are visible. The Norn continues to shake with fear as the hoarde of space ships descend on the moon which is the last defense before the Dojo. The Norn Gardens.

The creature turned about and ran like a scared rabbit into the forest.

In the west wing of the Guardian's fortress, Cassie lay on her bed, tossing a ball at the wall of her room. It rebounded back, and she caught it, only to toss it again. Cassie had been lying on her back like this for several hours, waiting for something to happen. She had the TV on (with Ghost asleep on top of it) but she wasn't really watching.

She caught the ball one last time, then rolled over onto her stomach. Cassie dropped the sphere to the floor and it rolled under her bed. She would get it later. Instead, Cassie reached for the remote and flipped through the channels.

Pysychotopia Public Access... Nitpicking with the Nitpicker... Duck thunderstorm moving in on the Black Forest... There was nothing on. She was flipping past the EC Subliminal Mind Control Channel, when one of those annoying public broadcasts showed up on screen, accomadated by the annoying beep.

Cassie sat bolt upright. According to this, there had been Concordat detected in the system. Many of them. Cassie wondered if the other Guardians knew about this. Not wasting another second, she sprinted out of her doorway and hung a left, running down the main hall until she reached the billards room. She skidded through the doorway, vaulted the pool table, much to the discontent of the players, and broke open the doors to the High Council Chambers.

Out of breath, she stood there, bent over slightly, hands on her knees, trying to regain her composure. Once she had, Cassie spoke to the Council, which seemed suprised to see her.

"The Concordat... are back... They're... HERE..."

[CrazyD]

Somewhere in the dark woods, CrazyD wandered around looking for the young wolf he had just smelt. There was so many smells that it made the one smell hard to single out.

He had spotted the wolf and began to stock it. The wolf noticed the Tyranid and tried to run. That was what CrazyD had been waiting for. He made his move and instantly cut off the wolf. There was no need to have the wolf suffer, so with one quick slash his prey was dead. Just when he was about to begin his feast, a flicker from the sky broke through the dense tree line.

CrazyD had grown older but his senses where still exelent. He could tell that the ship belonged to the Concordat. He screamed at the nights sky wondering why they had came. Everything had become silent. CrazyD finished up his meal savoring every bite, because this meal could be his last. He would risk everything to save the Dojodians and their planet. Even if it meant risking his life.

(Just a quick note: Nynaeve's nick is Eve, so if you would like to use it, feel free to do so. )

I can taste the winner's pixie punch now...

Nynaeve leaned over the billiards table with a cue nicely lined up with the eight ball. Taking a deep breath, she gently but firmly tapped the ball towards the side pocket. She straightened before resting the end of the cue on the ground and holding it with her right hand. Striking emerald eyes peered out from dainty, black rimmed glasses and watched the rolling ball carefully as she subconciously reached her left hand up to brush a couple loose strands of auburn hair away from her face. Going... going... almost there...

The black eight ball was within mere centimeters of falling into the pocket when a sudden movement of the table caused the ball to veer off course.
Nynaeve looked up in time to see Cassie vault over the table and continue running. A little bit peeved now that victory had been denied from her, she leaned the cue against the table and began running after the girl. "Cassie!"

Now, Nynaeve was new to the Guardian's fortress, having only came here a little while back after her many travels. So, when she finally caught up to Cassie and heard the final few words, "They're... HERE...", she forgot about her annoyance and frowned slightly. "Who...?"

[Somefreakoverthere]

A youth watched the Concordat ships apperer from seemingly nowhere with interest.

~Mum? Their back. I know you've spotted them.~

~Correct, Sirus. Go find that ship of yours.~

The freed borg turned and sprinte into her ship that the borgs had made to suit her a while before she was given her mind back. This was her hom now. The Concordat was trying to take that home over, just like the borgs. That was the last thing she wanted.

Coolpikaaa awoke and wiped some sand off his face.Scanning the empty desert around him,the pikachu wished he had stayed at the beach.A while ago it seemed,he was resting in the soft sand with the endless sea and cool drinks at his side.Now....

Coolpikaaa looked at the brown hairs of the camel he was riding...well more stealing a ride from.A time ago,coolpikaaa had become tired of all the relaxation and noticed a camel loading sacks of fabric.Coolpikaaa eventually snuck away from the beaches and wrapped himself in the fabric attached to the camel.

Instant get away.

But now the pikachu wished he was back.Looking up into the sky,coolpikaaa watched a strange looking shape way up.

"Wonder what that is...."

((I notice several of you are rather new to Blackstar and most likely have not read The First Episode of this RP. I will run over the basics for you.

First off, this RP takes place 30 years after the founding of Blackstar (the present). Your characters will have aged accordingly.

Blackstar has expanded throughout the universe onto many different planets, as has The Corporation.

The Concordat showed up, as if from nowhere, and have been mostly defeating the Dojodian forces for almost 10 years now. They have destroyed many of the outer worlds.

For more critical information on this RP, I suggest you read at least some of the first episode before role playing any further. I will allow you to edit your posts before I post again if the information you have obtained alters your circumstances in any way.))

[Panther385]

Lust perched on the edge of the Corrupted Cave's entrance. His large crimson paws grappled the worn-down edge, and his humanoid back legs were folded underneath him, Indian style. Two long, lapine ears flattened against his head as he stared upwards into the sky. His face was covered by a plain white mask that bore an insane grin were his mouth would be. No one knows if it has eyeholes or not, as his unnaturally lengthy hair covered it.

He did, however, notice the Concordat ships streaking through the air. His nose flared at the scent- he often cursed his extreme sense of smell, but would dismiss ever saying that when he got a whiff of someone's hormones, as that was when he could manipulate them.

"Hey, Abstinence." Lust hissed, not even bothering to turn around and face his counter part. Abstinence matched him in every way except for attitude, fur color, and mask.

His had a frown on it.

The silver Virtue crawled over to his Sin friend and looked upwards.

"They sound exactly like Mother said they would..." He mewed, his rabbit ears perking upwards. While Lust could smell, Abstinence could hear very well, often to the extent of another's thoughts and feelings.

"Indeed," Lust growled again, regretting he had no long tail to swish angrily as Mother did. "Should we retrieve Her?"

"No- She said we'd be able to handle anything in Her place, remember?"

"Hmph."

"Lust, don't get moody again~! They are here, and we need to warn the rest of the Council. If you get like this again, the Headmaster will surely punish you. Again."

The Sin simple grunted and leapt off of the peak, landing at the Evil Council's steel-plated entrance (which was invested in due to recent Lawyer attacks) and tapped on the door a few times.

Abstinence jumped afterwards, and walked next to his Brother as they entered the Cave.

****

Neko- or, rather, Akuma- glanced up from his curled position on the Chamber's floor. The massive demonic cat flicked a red eye open lazily, and watched Eve and Cassie with great interest.

It seemed he was going to say something, but he stopped, and seemed to be talking to himself for a few moments.

Finally he growled and stood, stretching in his most feline-like way.

"Who?" He asked between two large yawns, both of which revealed his dagger teeth. "The Evil Council? The Corporation? Santa Claus?" The demon snorted and sat, curling his tail around his paws. "He didn't bring me something last year, you know."

****

Supaiku flew over treetops, mountains, deserts, oceans...

Never stop, just keep going.

Even if you tire, you must flap and start again.

The Ouroboros of the New World must never stop moving.

The words were inscirbed in Latin on the copper dragon's blindfold. He’d been blinded many years back.

By his own mother.

Supaiku's off-proportion wings earned him both laughter and commiseration when he was younger, but served him better these days.

They kept him going,

going,

going...

The ships startled Supaiku, causing him to dive sharply and swerve upwards at a breakneck pace.

"What are these Beasts of Fuel and Metal?" He questioned to no one in particular as he kept flying in circles. "They are not from Here... I best be getting to an Inhabited Place... Someone might be able to answer The Inquiry."

And with that, the copper beast turned nose for the nearest dragon's scent.


((For some reason, I am immensly proud of this post. >> << ))

[The Concordat]

Perhaps a hundred or more miles from the Dojo, the fleet descends on the Norn Gardens. From the side of the cruisers, fighters are launched, but only as escorts for the massive dropships that are accompaning them. On the surface of the moon, Norn and Grendel alike crash through the forest, fleeing from the incoming ships.

Up on the deck of the flag ship, the Ascendant Justice, the commander of the ship is in conference with the general of the ground forces.

"So your plan is to take control of this moon and use it as a staging area for the attack on the main planet?" the Captain questions the General.

"Affirmative." he responds.

"I don't understand why we don't just subjugate the entire planet to orbital bombardment."

"The High Council has ordered that this planet not be destroyed. Not only does it hold strategic value, but we have determined that this is their capitol world. With it in our hands, any lingering resistance will surely fail."

The Captain nods in silent agreement as he turns back to see the first of the dropships touching down.

Xys leaned back in his chair, on the porch of his house, a kind of square-like metal building covered in foliage in the middle of no where, stroking his small orange beard, as he often did . He could hear his wife, Syana, a Treehugger, clattering the pots and pans in the kitchen. The Bengal/Magma hybrid looked up at the sky, and saw some kind of obviously alien fleet. There were ships descending on the Norn Gardens.
~The Borg!? No...it's not their kind of ship.~ he got up and told his wife tp "Close the doors, don't open them." and left towards the nearest settlement.

[Coolpikaaa]

Tetsu-ko

The greenish dragon flew over the Dojo. She could pick up various smells from far below, like the fresh fruit in the market stalls, and...Lightning?
The dragon instantly wanted to let out her own burst, but thought against it. She had mastered Electricity a long time ago...in fact it was her first power. Just about when Coolpikaaa noticed she could copy powers once she had seen them work. Her electric powers where the first to be completely controlled, most likely from Kaz and "Dad" using them so much.

"Where are those two anyway?” the dragon asked to the night air. She knew where they both were supposed to be, but knew one or both would quickly grow tired of lying around. The smells of the night eventually caught her attention and she quickly cupped her claws. A small ball formed, and she pushed on it causing it to unravel into a string of webbing. Throwing down with major force, she hooked an apple from a tree and tried to pull it up. Just as it sailed up, something suddenly came into view on the moon and caused the dragon to lose concentration, the web to fade, and the apple to smack Tetsu's snout. Frantic flapping occurred; trying to keep the dragon up, but inside she knew she would have to land. The citadel was close by, she reasoned. If they would let her in, she could tell them about the blob of things that suddenly showed up at the Norn gardens.
"Have the ettins built spaceships?” she wondered as she landed and knocked on the door of the guardian base.

The moons do look nice tonight....

Coolpikaaa continued to stare up at the sky. The camel continued its pace, and every so often bumped, rocking the pikachu and its fabric load.

[Kazumaru]

The spirit of electricity, having grown bored of the "Vacation", had headed back to his laboratory complex. Of course, this wasn't his only lab- He'd built smaller ones on other worlds and moons- but hey, this was his home. Still harboring his hermit tendencies, he was often found here.

Though it was hard to get him out of the complex, he was by no means a sociophobe. He'd offer anyone who was looking for shelter just that.

He looked up at the sky through a telescope feed on his monitor and saw several blots across the stars. Muttering a curse in some long dead language, possibly French, he looked at a red-tinted camera lens on the wall. "Yo, Sentinel. Give me a call if anyone comes near the complex."

The bot responded "Bah, what could you possibly be doing to distract yourself from this?"

Kazumaru got up from his chair and flopped onto a nearby cot. "SLEEPING!" he yelled, before turning over and promptly losing conciousness.

[Goron40]

Cassie regained her breath.

"The Concordat... The whole of Blackstar has been at war with them for almost 10 years now... you know? You see em on the news every so often kicking our asses."

Cassie turned to the rest of the council chambers.

"Well, we thought that they didn't know where Blackstar was. We thought we were safe here. We were wrong. The Concordat have amassed a truly massive fleet and are, as we speak, invading the Norn Gardens. You know, the moon where we keep all those furry little creatures?"

She paused to gauge the reaction, then continued.

"I recommend that we send a force to defend that moon. Maybe we can't hold them there, but at least we can stall them long enough for Blackstar to either make preparations for a final stand or... dare I say it... abandon Blackstar."

Her attention was suddenly swayed as she heard the knocking on the front door.

"... Set the automated defenses on standby... I'll see who it is."

---

Ghost and Cassie clambered up to the top of the gate, and peered over the edge. The automated turrets on the wall had realigned themselves to point at their "guest."

"Who goes there? ... And what is your business here?" Cassie called down to the dragon.

[The Concordat]

The antigravity "wheels" of the Concordat armor hum to life as they dismount from their dropships. A tank rolls down the rear-entry ramp and onto the ground, blasting away pieces of earth as it does. It's monsterous cannon whirls around menacingly, and faces towards the direction of troop movement.

More dropships touch down, releasing similar cargo. Hoardes of troops dismount from the sides of the ships, and begin their march on the nearby Creature settlement. Fighters emit soft squeals as they tear through the air above the mass.

The first of the tanks begin their assualt, firing blasts of plasma at the Norn village. Most of the troops are running now. A few move foward on light assualt vehicles. The ground shakes with the force of their movement. Their battle cries blot out all other noise, and the din is deafening.

"This moon has life forms on it, although they are rather primitive. They show no signs of even basic technology, and the three dominant species don't seem to cooperate that well either. Danger Assement: Low."

The General takes the printout from one of the ops crew and looks it over.

"Good. Ready my shuttle. Tell the commanders that I want to set up a base of operations in that village that we are attacking there, so don't damage it too badly."

The crew member nods and relays the message to the ground forces as the General turns on his hoof and makes his way to the hanger.

[Somefreakoverthere]

Siruslet the wires plug themselves in as she and two others took control of the small fighter ship. All had borg implants, but these were only visable on two of them. Spike, Sirus and Linda had met up.

"This is my planet: they aren't going to get it so quickly."

"Even if it means we have to let them know of the borgs, we must defend them."

"Even if it costs us our lives."

The trio agreed and the ship took off, the cloak automaticly kicking in. The first few fighter ships they saw were instantly fired at, with each one in charge of their own guns. Should they combine their strenth of one target, they would be located. They knew this.

So, a single fighter ship started fireing on the concordat in the fight over their home.
