Star Cluster in Destress [Event] - Finished

Ultranova

The light corvette carrying the Bomb Specialists land and let them out.

The Bomb Specialists get into position and lower a magnetic device down through the ground to locate the exact location of the bomb. Meanwhile, the corvettes drop a couple of Sub-surface Pods onto the ground (otherwise known as drill pods) and readies them for drilling.

(Geez Drak. Calm your farm.)

The crew of the ships blink, forgetting everything about this... strange thing.

Clyde: "Something is missing... I do not know what, but it is gone. Perhaps I should log this."

LOG FILE

=== Databank Memory loss ===
Local Time: 0301 Hours
Size of Memory loss: 300 MB
Reason: Unknown, possible fatal error.
Processes running at the time: Clyde.mainframe, rest unknown.
Priority: Moderate. Investigation pending

Closing log file...

(I was meaning that Clyde would remember losing his data and run a diagnostic.)

Ultranova Thank you.

The scans suddenly show that the being who placed it there... Dissapeared? But the bomb could still be there...

A strange feeling filled the Star Cluster suddenly...

Ultranova

Gonna say here and now that I'm a wee disappointed in the way ya'll reacted.

RandomCommander

Ultranova The Collective have reasons for reacting the way they did to memory loss. Gallant-Polygon would have done the same thing Clyde has done, but Cypher-Null has memories dating back to the 2nd-gen, which should give him tons of wisdom regarding Memory-modifying entities. Sometimes he learns from the lack of information, contrary to, like, MOST of the Collective. He'll be a big deal in the upcoming DC plotline.

Ultranova

RandomCommander lol, if I had brought a different AI, they would be kicking a fuss about memory losses and the collective being present just as the memory was lost. Luckily, Clyde is an interrogation AI and is a little wiser than the rest in that sort of stuff.

RandomCommander Sometimes he learns from the lack of information, contrary to, like, MOST of the Collective.

I'd say that be a good thing 👌

Drakador_Chaos Sorry for not really clarifying earlier. I haven't been having the best day today.

RedAndCosmoteer

Namek Your ally who is also dealing with this threat, shared the info that their body temperature is warmer than the innocent lives

When did i transmit that to the R-UPA fleet?

Ultranova The large R-UPA fleet detects a small squadron near the planet, which has been there since before you warped in but you haven't really paid attention to until now...

Namek

The Rear Admiral: "How should i deal with this...? Wait."

The RA turns on his comms system.

The Rear Admiral: "Hangar bay. We do still have fighters or shuttles left? I want to create a distraction so that the beings will not be focusing on us while we shoot them from the upper Thermosphere of the planet."

Hangar Control: "Yes, we do Admiral. Launching when ready..."

A few shuttles launch from the tiny hangars of the cruisers with just the pilot at the helm, flying a hundred meters off the ground, and towards one of the creatures...

Namek

The creatures suddenly drop everything they carried, even the innocent beings who landed in unforntunate ways, some are very injured, but the others help one another.

A strange feeling suddenly appeared in the Star Cluster...

Namek

RandomCommander

The beings suddenly dissapear from the broken planet, but their ship is left behind...

A weird feeling suddenly appear in the Star Cluster, something is about to happen...

Suddenly... In the middle of the Star Cluster... A person appeared...

image https://i.imgur.com/lAE4eJN.jpg

He slowly looks around, looking at the 3 fleets, and all the stars and planets... The strange feeling is gone the moment he arrived, and you felt litterally nothing from this being... No power, or weakness... Nothing...

He then made his weapon dissaprar, and holds his hand closely together, creating a small black orb...

RandomCommander

Namek

Both Core-AI, still from the staging area that Gallant-Polygon is setting up, stare at the black orb that forms. Eventually, Cypher-Null breaks the silence...

"Gallant-Polygon, stay and monitor their activities. Do not increase nor decrease security measures, we want to be as non-threatening as possible."

"Are you sure? From your reaction to--"

"I'm well aware of how I responded to their message. It's up to you to maintain a diplomatic outlook. I have to return to the Collective for preparation. Please, keep me informed."

"Affirmative."

Cypher-Null transitions via Rift-portal back into the sixth dimension. Gallant-Polygon's base continues to fabricate, now focusing on communications and sensor beacon equipment, as well as Light droneships - mainly scouts. They do their best to help Gallant-Polygon monitor everything these new beings do.

Second-in-command: "Holy... we've got to get the hell out of here. That's no human"

Clyde: I can see that. It could possibly be friendly, but it's impossible to get a fixed scan on it. The area around him feels empty and registers empty.

Second-in-command: "For heaven's sake, we don't have time for this!"

Fleet-Commander Markus: "We will not run away and we will not engage it. We will observe it, then make our decisions."

Clyde: There is a 96% chance it is hostile.

Second-in-command: "What about the 4%?"

Clyde: It's going to offer us some tea and turn out to be an old UPA commander that got stuck in a black hole. Oh wait, that's impossible because UPA Commanders don't exist anymore.

Second-in-command: "We don't have time for this, Clyde"

Clyde: We have perfectly enough time to discuss this....

Fleet-Commander Markus: "ENOUGH. We're going to load the fighters up to the larger ships and make ourselves as small as we can. We do not engage until he has engaged us."

Clyde: Sir, that has a 70% chance of failing and proving that humans are stupid.

Fleet-Commander Markus: "I know, but you won't do any better in this situation."

The person’s face continue to show no emption, and his eyes are empty...

He slowly made his hands go further apart, and the black orb began to grow bigger...

All the stars in the Star Cluster began to slowly move towards it, and the light as well, and the place slowly began to grow darker...

The gravity in the Star Cluster began to shift towards the black orb, everything began to move towards it slowly, including the ships.

Perhaps it is smart to perform an impressive escape.

At the other side of the Galaxy, Nil resides. He feels it happening, and looks towards the direction it is happening...

The being suddenly looks towards Nil, and prepares to leave, and let the orb absorb the Star Cluster... But why?

Ultranova

Namek

Fleet-Commander Markus: "Options, Clyde?"

Clyde: "We get out of here. Now. I mean Now."

Markus stabs the button to order the fleet to warp out. The entire fleet's Dual Warp drives charge up, on Warp Tunnel Mode. Normal FTL will not get them anywhere.

The drives spin until they activate. Even in the Vacuum of space, one might be able to hear as the Warp Drives discharge their energy upon the ships. The ships launch into space, disappearing in flashes of light.

Once space settles, it is possible to notice... another figure? They seem to be walking out of the place the R-UPA ships just warped into...

Namek

Ultranova

The being, slowly set its eyes on the other figure...

He slowly compresses the black orb, and in a burt he smashes it with his hands, and a gaint explosion errupted, it wasnt a normal one, since all the stars suddenly turned black, and don’t burn anymore, and slowly crack into rubble.

His face still emit no emotion, and his eyes are still empty... And he emits no aura, or even a hint to any powerlevel.

He made his spear appear again. And suddenly began to speak in a normal voice, with no emotion.

Nuro: “Why are you here, and what do you want? I was just about to leave, but something about you decided me to stay.”

His voice could be heard in space, it appears he filled the area with air.

Ultranova

Namek

The Figure stands up straight. He seems to be wearing a raincoat, like one would if they had stepped out of an office building on a late Friday night. He takes the coat off and tosses it to the side. The coat seems to evaporate.

Figure: "They call me Aios."

Aios: "You know exactly why I am here. You just don't want to admit it... Nuro"

Namek

Ultranova

Space began to feel colder, thanks to the loss of stars, and darkness began to rise... There is nothing around to light up the place, there isnt even a single star visable, for a strange reason.

Nuro: “Are you here... To stop me kill other living beings?

Please know that only living beings got injured, and not killed... Besides the massive fleet that got taken out, wich I didnt order him to do...”

He speaks slowly, and he seems to dislike the actions of the guy with the Axe... Not the part where he kills others, but the part where he disobeyed him.

Nuro: “All I am here for is to murder Nil... I already know his location, so it would be wise for you to turn around.”

Ultranova

Namek

Aios grins, his skin lighting up and turning a gold colour. The air begins to feel warm again.

Aios: "I was never known for my wisdom. And as for Nil..."

He suddenly whips out a spear, the shaft a golden colour, the blade a soft blue, which moves like the sea at dusk.

Aios: "You won't be getting him without going through me."

He pauses, then adds, "Mate"

Namek

Ultranova

Nuro yawns, and shakes his head.

Nuro: “Not sure why you protect such an evil being... But I guess you will fall, just like him.”

He slowly extends his arm, he puts little effort in it. And suddenly things get collected to his fingertips...

All the stars in the Star Cluster goes towards his hand, and forms a spear, all 200 stars to be excact. It should have been a black hole already, but somehow it is denied.

Nuro: “This spear is 417M in total, and absorbed every star in HYADUS.”

He slowly merged his 2 spears together.

Nuro: “My spear is forged from billions of stars... And enchanted by myself... If it even slices you, the gravity of it will affect you in various ways, and let alone the enchantments I put on it.”

Nuro began to emit a cold temperature... Beyond a freezing point, but he seems to be alright.

Nuro: “Did you know my servent, the one with the Axe, has found Adonal? He seems to be in a very bad shape... Thanks to Nil...”

He slowly walks towards you, while preventing the impossibly heavy spear from imploding, and preparing this space as well... For arrival...

Every step he takes sounds heavy, his cloack floating behind him, his eyes piercing into you...

Namek

Ultranova

(Ps. This happends after the battle, just so you know xD, I had to have this out before I sleep, and the battle took long enough for Nil to escape :/

Ultranova Namek

The lone Avatar that stood back takes note of everything that has occured. Eying the battle to come, it interacts with a large spatial installation that looks bipyramidal in shape. The middle of it splits open and both halves that result begin spinning opposite of eachother, a small white light beginning to form. It seems to be headed.... to another area entirely...

Gladiaxa

Namek my lawbreaker detector of physics just exploded

Aios laughs.

"Yeah nah, mate. For the record, I'm a spirit, not a physical being so have fun with that."

He swings his weapon around expertly, then he suddenly dissipates, turning to dust in a matter of nano-seconds. He reappears elsewhere, then does it again, this time appearing right in front of Nuro. He brings us hands flying upwards and two flashes of light follow.

Dimensional Necromancers step out of... tears... in the fabric of the dimension. Four of them surround Aios, moving in harmony with his movements. He and the Necromancers wait for Nuro's move.
