I am still on RPG, so do feel free to message me. Just don't have the time or energy to actually join any RP's right now. Focusing on a LOT of other projects, including getting into Audio Drama.

Glasgow


With the confusion of the impending destruction of Alderaan, Sonia had decided to stay down with Lord Bail. She was a fair fighter, but she was a brilliant organizer and strategist. Organizing schedules and getting people martialed into evacuation procedures was something that her mother had been quite good at, managing to keep a guerilla movement off of the radar for years, it was something that she was very insistent on teaching her daughter. Egg Carrier was making best speed, but it would take them a few hours.

K'Tari, on the otherhand, had gone up to the Glasgow. She was going for the simple fact that she was one of the only one of them that had actually boarded an Assimilator previously. As she saw the rest of the teams suiting up, she looked down at her own bare form and realized that, she was probably under-equipped for this kind of boarding action. Making her way to the Glasgow's armoury, she passed several people running around, getting prepared for the boarding action. She arrived at the armoury and saw several teams kitting up. Closing her eyes, she reached out with her thoughts and found the Quartermaster among them. Approaching the woman she stared around. "These are some nice things you have here." She said. "After reading your report, i noticed that there were species of all different shapes and sizes of your world, i don't suppose you have something in my size that i can borrow?" She asked. The Quartermaster turned around and looked around before looking the echidna up and down. She then shook her head, unable to believe that some of their allies looked like something out of a saturday morning cartoon.

"I'm..." She looked at her datapad, before quickly sizing her up. "Not in the time alotted, I might be able to rig SOMETHING given a few hours, maybe a modified suit based off of the ones used by the Volus. Sadly a copy right now would be a little... Wide around the waist." The Quartermaster replied.

"I understand." T'Kari bowed. "I was rather interested, specifically because of your "Biotics" as you called them in the report. Sounds very similar to the magics i use, but most powered armours that i have used in the past have inhibited my powers more than they have helped, your Biotic soldiers seem to be enhanced by the armour."

"Makes sense... Well, i'll have to talk with the captain about next time, but to be honest, i'm not sure if he'll accept. I'll put in the order anyway, i'm curious to see if these "Magics" of yours are actually Biotics or something else." She quickly tapped the pad, before looking around. "Request sent. You want a gun? I can spare one of those." She suggested.

"No, most uncivilized forms of combat." She sighed. There was a blare from the ships intercomm, indicating that they should gather. She rushed through the ship, dodging crewmembers as she met with the other. She saw all of the teams making last second weapons checks. She was alone among Overlanders. She gulped a little. She knew that there was no ill intent from these ones, but... Old habits die hard. As they were finally teleported, she was familiar with how this worked, seeing how she had experienced Chaos Control. As they rematerialized, T'Kari saw a Kull trooper raise his arms and try to open fire with its wrist weapons. She instinctively raised her arms and shouted something in a long dead language as she thrusted her other arm out. The black armoured creature found itself picked up, slammed into the ceiling, then the floor, then the ceiling again, then the floor again, before throwing it into the one that Shepard had just tagged. The two of them getting dematerialized together. She then dived into cover, and poked her head up to see the Kull Warrriors and enemy Clones blasting them. She ducked her head back down, before placing a palm on the ground and beginning to chant. As she did so, a green energy field appeared around the immediate beam-in site. The bolts of the wrist-weapons bouncing off of the green field. "WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING TO DO, DO IT FAST!" She called as he eyes glowed green. These Kull weapons were more than she was used to holding off.
@Shoddy McCoy Throw up a character sheet and i'll review it, of course.
Kalak watched the others agree to the... Well, rather different idea to stop the Heartless, on the proviso that none of the Princess' were harmed or forced. "Well, obviously. How the hell do we create Paradise with murder?" He asked. "I ain't no Heartless. And Master Xehanort agree's with that, obviously." He replied. Xehanort looked down, before looking up and smiling.

"Obviously." He caught another drink as it slid across the bar into his hand. Kalak stared at him.

"Well, i don't need anymore convincing." Kalak said. "We don't do this, it's just gonna keep being a fight that our kids and their kids and their kids' kids are gonna have to do." Xehanort raised his glass in response. Xehanort then reached inside of his coat pocket and pulled out what looked like a book.

"This is a journal i have kept for a considerable amount of time, it has information on the many worlds of the multiverse." He said, putting it on the table and sliding it over to Kalak, who picked up the book and opened it. He started to read it... Very... Very... Slowly...

"Yeah, this is a slog, anyone else want a go?" He asked, holding it up. Xehanort got up and finished his drink, before sliding it back to Tapper.

"I do not promise that this will end well. I do not promise that this will work, but what i do promise is that there is a chance." He then heard something buzz and reached into his coat pocket, pulling out a Strange device he pressed a few buttons. "Damn..." He put the device back in his pocket. "I must go, i have matters that NEED seeing to." He grabbed the book out of Kalaks hands and put it on the table, he quickly flicked to a page. "My first suggestion would be to search this world first." He pointed to a page labeled Pays Des L'Aristochats "Last time i was there, i sensed a powerful heart. But i was unable to investigate thoroughly due to more pressing matters. You should try there first. In the meantime, i must leave you." He said, before his armour appeared around him. He stepped onto a glider that appeared. He straddled it "Good luck" He said, before it disappearing in a flash of light.
Xehanort stared at the Pirate as guessed at the Heartless being the black creatures "The very same..." He replied "Although, your crew was unable to harm the Heartless with their weapons. That's because Steel doesn't effect them very much. The good news is that, because you were dragged away from your world, the Heartless may have sensed you and followed, hoping to take the heart of a Keybearer. They aren't very intelligent, but they are ruthless and i imagine that a number of your allies are dead." He sighed.

"Wow, you are just the brightest ray of sunshine i have ever met!" Kalak replied.

"I do not believe in lying to people about the obvious." Xehanort looked down at his drink. "I have saved thousands of worlds and watched tens of thousands of worlds consumed. I'm... Very tired... But onto the more pressing of matters, what i said earlier." He finished his third drink and then gasped. "I've been looking into a final solution to the Heartless... I could bore you with the details of how i'm going to accomplish this, but here is the abridged version... Some time ago, there existed The First Heart. This heart was the only thing in creation and the multiverse was full of the brightest of light. But the heart grew weary of it's lonely existance and it split itself into millions upon millions of other hearts. These hearts eventually created bodies and we were born. But, without the First Heart's light, darkness began to exist across the multiverse, and from that darkness, the Heartless were born. So, you see, the reason why the Heartless exists is because the First Heart no longer does. I have been doing some research with the assistance of an ally of mine and we have both come to the same conclusion... We need to recreate the First Heart." He looked at Kalak, who was smiling and nodding.

"Pssssst, he lost me ages ago..." Kalak whispered to Quentin.

"We have found a way to create a faximile. Throughout the multiverse, there are the purest of all hearts. These hearts are the strongest out there and cannot be corrupted by anyone. They are called "The Princess' of Heart" I believe that they each belong to the fairest and most noble of people from their plane. If we can find these hearts, bring them together, then we could use their power to gather enough stray hearts to create a new First Heart... I call this entity "Kingdom Hearts"."

"Wait, you want us to go rip the hearts out of Princess'?" Kalak asked.

"Of course not, their hearts, when exposed, will call enough wild hearts to allow us to create Kingdom Hearts. So long as they are willing and able, we will be able to pull this off and with no one else harmed. Then, with the radiance of Kingdom Hearts radiating throughout the multiverse, the Heartless will be unable to possibly stand against us. Now, i do realize how preposterous this sounds. But the question is this. Will you not even try?" He asked, looking around the table at the blank faces.
Depends on what you have in mind.
That's perfectly fine. And yes, we are still going, as far as i know.
Egg Carrier


As Oglivie and his Metal Sonics finished cutting through the door, they suddenly stopped as one of the Metal Sonics turned to him. "MASSIVE ENERGY BUILD-UP IN POWER GRID DETECTED. SUSPECTED JUMP ENGINES COMING ONLINE!!!" It said.

"EVERY TIME!!!" Oglivie roared, punching the door and leaving a dent with the metal, clawed fingers of his armour. "Retreat, we can't fight all of them." He groaned, as they floated back towards the Egg-Wyvern and landing in the cockpit. The large neck pulled out and, spreading its wings, it blasted off, it immediately took AA-Fire, but it's laser emitters in the wings immediately fired back, leaving a trail of destruction across the hull. Superficial damage, but it made Oglivie feel a little better as it flew straight through the shields and the ship left.

"Good to see you made it out!" Jack replied.

"Yeah, but i had a chance to do what i do best and, once again, they escape. I've torn hell through battleships before. I just need the chance!!!" Oglivie grunted. "Let's get back and assess the damage, Wyvern's taken a couple of hits."

"If you've damaged my baby, you're going to wish i still killed people..." Came the angry voice of Eggman over the comms.

****

Aboard the bridge, Koffal continued to talk over the comm with the Separatist Captain. He finally finished and turned to Thunderbolt, before saying something in Geonosian. "What...?" She asked. He repeated the series of purs, clicks and gutteral clucks. "Look, i don't speek... PPPPPPHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTT!!!" She blew a loud raspberry at him.

"Taking... Shuttle... Going... To allies... Droid... Inspect... Queen..." He motioned to the egg.

"Ummm..." She looked at the panel and pressed a button. "Go. Their medics will know more about it than we do." She groaned. Koffal walked towards one of the tubes that descended into the floor.

Aldaraan


As T'Kari stood back a little bit from the group, she suddenly felt something roll down her cheek. She wiped it off to see a tear... Strange, then she felt it on the other side as well. "Wha..." She looked up to see the large storm. "In the name of Light Gaia..." She whispered. "Someone... Someone is here..." She said, tears now pouring down her face, but a determined look. "Such evil... I have not felt since the return of Dark Gaia..." She then saw Teyla fall over. The rains started to pour and the tears on her face were lost. "Lord Organa... Prepare to evacuate your people... This is an evil beyond anything I or the Council have ever dealt with. And what we dealt with was going to tear our planet to shreds. I have no doubt this will do the same." She said, sullenly.
Egg Carrier


As the Fleet entered the system, they immediately bore witness to the Separatist fleet desperately failing to outmaneuver the far more advanced vessels closing on them. "Alright, let's give our friends over there some assistance." Eggman ordered through the comms. "Have the fighters cover the Separatist Capital Ships, i'm going to take the Bosses and see if we can't take out one of the larger ships." He said. "Jack, Oglivie, come with me." He said as the Egg Emperor, Egg Wizard and Egg Wyvern launched from the underbelly of the Egg Carrier. Wave after wave of the unmanned drone fighters launched from the top deck, rushing towards the Separatist ships, engaging their fighters as they attempted to target the Separatists vital systems. Eggmans fighters were good, but the Imperial pilots were equal. Immediate dog-fights breaking out causing losses on both sides as the homing lasers on the Egg-Fighters proved difficult for the Imperials to evade, but the Egg-Fighters were simply incapable of outsmarting the Imperials, formerly Republic, Aces.

Onboard the Egg Carrier's bridge, Koffal had already began transmitting to the Separatists that they were there to assist, sending them his high level clearance codes as a Brood Alpha.

The Egg-Boss' were already engaging several of the larger fighter groups. As fighters dove towards them in the classic Imperial Attack Tunnel formation, Egg Wizard twirled its staff, A large block of ice forming in front of it, the fighters veered wildly to avoid, whilst several fell prey to the intense speed and cutting edge of Egg Wyvern's laser-wings

"We've got boarding pods and L/AATs full of troops ready to board and capture, but before we try it, we need to cripple an Assimilator if we can." Came over the comms.

"You want an opening?" Eggman asked. "Boys, let's show him how the Egg Boss' make an opening." As the Emperor rushed to the front with a few swings of the lance, creating energy waves that cut through several fighters, he then launched a barrage of missiles from the missile rack on the back to cover their escape. Emperor, Wizard and Wyvern set off at max speed towards one of the Assimilators. As the Boss' approached on the scanners of the Assimilator, they felt reasonably safe inside of their powerful shields, their main guns focussing on the fleeing Separatists. Their confidence proved to be very well founded as the Emperor's Lance drove head-long into the shield and simply glanced straight off of the powerful energy field. Jack and the Egg Wizard then smashed straight into the shield and the Wizard pressed a palm to it as Electrical sparks began to fizzle all along the shielding unit.

"Oglivie, these shields are something else, i can make a gap for you, but it's only going to be for a few seconds. You'll need to get out by yourself." Jack said through the comm.

"Do it, me and the team will be fine." He replied. As the Egg Wizard drove it's staff into the shield and Jacks eyes began to glow, pressing his palm into the console. The sparks fizzled and a ring of magical energy appeared around the staff's tip and across the glowing energy field, expanding more and more. The ships crew wasn't blind to this goings on as one of the main batteries turned away from their former target to draw a bead on the Egg Wizard.

"GO NOW!!!" Jack yelled as the circle reached its apex. The Wyvern blasted through at full pelt, tucking the wings into its body. The circle collapsed as the cannon fired a salvo at the Egg Wizard, Egg Emperor smashing into the side of Wizard to force it out of the way of the cannon-fire, Jack dropping his spell as he was shook about. They then gained some distance. Wyvern now found itself stuck within the energy shields, like a bee inside of the keepers suit, but by itself wasn't going to be much more than target practice as the AA guns already took aim and started to pound the Egg-Boss. Oglivie quickly manuevered the Wyvern down to the hull of the ship, near the command tower and the head buried its face in the metal, it's powerful lazer-cutter jaws biting into a relatively small part of the hull, tearing pieces off of it. The AA fire against the Wyvern ceasing as it's destruction there would cause immeasurable damage to the ship itself and they were clearly going for a boarding action, an action that they were confident in the failure of with their superior soldiers. Also, the opportunity to capture this metal beast intact was not lost on them. The Wyvern curled its wings into its body to lower its profile as much as it could, before finally using its head as a battering ram to smash straight into the hole that it had just made with its jaws, "Oglivie, it's all up to you now. Take out its shields and then get out of there." Jack called over the comm.

"Roger" He replied, as the head punched straight into a corridor that quickly locked down due to its now exposure to space. Oglivie jumped out of the cock-pit with a pair of Metal Sonics. Oglivies arm transformed into a machine-gun as he quickly scouted the area "Come on, you two, we've got to hit the shield generator, then the other 2 can take it out easily." He ordered. The Metal Sonics floated over to one of the doors and one of them punched its clawed hand straight through the door controls as it began to hack its way through the door controls.

Alderaan

"Thank you." She replied to Jason "I will try to keep that in mind." As they flew in for a landing, the conversations died down and the utter beauty of the lush world. "It's... It's like the pictures of Mobius before Eggman..." Sonia's jaw dropped.

"Indeed." the pressing matter became making a good first impression. As Lord Organa came to greet them with his entourage, the pair of girls bowed down. "Greetings, Lord Organa, i am K'Tari, Daughter of Gord and member of the Council of Mystics."

"And i am Sonia Acorn, Princess of Mobius, Second Child of King Sonic and Queen Sally, Guardian of the Realm and Protector of the Chaos Emeralds." Sonia announced. As Bail talked with Jason, the pair stood in silence. Finally, they began talking about this "Master Yoda" character and K'Tari's ears pricked up. Sonia grabbed her arm and looked her in the eyes, telling her that now was not the time to ask. She knew that K'Tari was always on the lookout for new mystics to broaden her own array of mysticraft. As Vael butted in, Sonia decided to step forward to back him up. "If... Master Yoda's prediction is correct and that we will be of help, then the first thing we require to be of assistance is information on this monster. Any information you can give us will be useful."
Xehanort nodded as the man commented on how he couldn't trust him. "You are entirely correct. You have no innate reason to trust me..." He then looked around at the Surge Protectors. "But, on the otherhand, you appear to lack any other choice... Think of this as... Parlay." He smiled. He then headed towards Tappers, wit hthe rest of them in tow. He sat down on the small train and it carried them through to the strange bar and they sat down at the long bar.

"Xehanort, what can i get for ya?" A friendly voice yelled from the top of the bar.

"The usual and one for my allies here, as well." He replied. A pint of beer slid along the bar and into each of their hands, and a small 100 appeared above their heads as it did. He took a long drink, downing the entire drink in a single long series of gulps, before sliding it back along the bar and into Tapper's hands, who poured himself a drink, drank it and then threw the glass over his head, before it shattered. Kalak took a sniff of the beer, he winced a little, before taking a sip of it.

"Uuugh..." He scrunched his face up. "Tastes like an old penny." He then took another sip, and another, every sip making him wince a little. Xehanort looked at Hido. "You have been given a strange and wonderful gift," He began "The chance to move through the multiverse as you wish. You can see wonders that you have never imagined, tastes undreamed and smells unheard. But this gift comes with a heavy price." His key appeared in his hand again. "This Key will open every door in the multiverse, but it will also act as a beacon, drawing to you a darkness in this universe called "The Heartless" They are rogue hearts with no bodies to call their own. They are convinced that they have no hearts either. So, they seek to consume the hearts of others, desperately trying to fill a void that can NEVER be filled." Another jug of beer slid into his hands, with another 100 appearing above his head. He then looked at Quentin, before looking back to Hido "If you value anyone back in your world... You will never return there. They will be drawn to you. Although, as i have found out, they are unlikely to return to worlds that they have already failed to conquer. This one for example, is one such world. Which is why i have invited you."

"So, if they never come back-" Kalak began

"Unlikely... Not never." Xehanort corrected him. "You should probably stick with these people for the moment." He said to Hido. "They will be able to help you to understand the many worlds better. The other thing that you should know... When you first escaped your world... You heard a voice. This voice is your beacon, your lighthouse. I call it a Destiny Link. Your Heart has been ripped away from your world and it no longer has the Heart of your world to guide you. Your Heart has bonded itself to another in order to guide itself through the universe. Seek this person out. When you do, your true power as a Key-Bearer will be realized. You will form other Destiny Links along the way, as well. Bondind with different hearts will grant you more and different power."

"So, Master, who was your Destiny Link with?" He asked. Xehanort simply looked into his beer.

"That... Is a tale for another time."
Xehanort let out a sigh of relief as he saw the others arrive via various means. He smiled as he saw them approach. "Not everyone that i asked... But i suppose it's possible that they were detained by their duties." He sighed. He looked around at the others that had arrived. "Saki, it is good to see you again." He replied. He then noticed that the others seemed to notice his weakened state. "Ah yes..." He said, before putting his hand on his stomach and a small aura appeared. His wounds seemed to close and the blood stains seemed to disappear. "Better" He said, no longer leaning on Kalak. "Quentin... It has been some time, i am glad that you are here. You have never truly seen eye to eye with me. It gives me hope that others will rally to help me with my cause, because, this time... I've cracked it... And if i'm right, you might be able to go home. Come, we'll get somewhere a little less public and we can discuss it there."t He pointed over to a large terminal labeled "Tapper" He then heard shouting from elsewhere in the station, as well as gasps.

As Hido swung the sword around, more Surge Protectors appeared, holding what appeared to be Tasers. "Look, sir, calm down" one replied, before he started shouting. He then pressed a button on his clip-pad and a menu appeared, he scrolled to "Language" and set it to "Japanese" "Look, sir, calm down, tell us what game you are from and we can have you back there." He said in Japanese. He then looked at the others. "We get a new plug-in today?"

"Not that i know." Replied another.

"Why would i know, nobody tells me nuttin'" Replied a grizzled looking one. At this point, Xehanort and the others had made their way over.

"Allow me to handle this." Xehanort ordered. The Surge Protectors backed off. "My name is Xehanort. I know how confusing this must all be for you." He began, also talking in Japanese. "But i am here to help. You have just taken a very large step into a world that you cannot possibly fathom, but allow me to try and help you." He said, his own Key weapon appeared in his hand. "Your weapon there... An interesting Key you hold. I suspect a duality of your soul to possess such a key. Come with me and i can tell you everything that you need to know." He looked the man up and down. "Ah yes, i believe i have been to your world before... Does the term "15 men on a dead man's chest, yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum" mean anything to you?" He asked. "Come with me and we can discuss it over something you're accustomed to. Any preference for alcohol?" He asked.
