6. Who knows

7. Yeah. I was just thinking about the bounty hunter, like a GAN agent that went sort of rogue, but not really? just not listening to orders but still fighting for GAN

8. killer whales on a whole new level

Not hopeless the WHOLE time, just, at some point, it would probably be something like "wow everyone else is dead. this thing is spooky. let's blow this joint"

9....There's a wiki? I didn't realize I was making something in like a big official canon. Alright.

Also, if we establish a new Threat canon, I wouldn't think of myself controlling the Threat for every battle we get into using it.

Fated Matchups

2. Good. So that's that, then.

6. Yeah. That's what I imagine the Threat's long term plan is. Kill the annoying natives, build a little nest and make more babby Threats and go from there until the whole planet is it's.

7. What if the GAN tried to use the Threat for their own gain, but they underestimated it's abilities and got out of control?

8. I'd imagine that, if the Threat had the strength and time to even begin to spread to other planets, and that point it would be a massive crazy hivemind of epic proportions. Creepy space whales that shoot out aliens, for later use in battles? Maybe, at some point in the future, we could do a three way battle. That'd be cool.

(Retreating heroes) Yeah, but, I mean come on. They aren't gonna fight for a lost cause, right? At some point, it's just gotta be obvious that your team aren't gonna win the fight.

Fated Matchups

2. Sounds fun! Maybe this will all tie into with the Threat's sudden appearance. Maybe not just a freak cosmic storm but a dimensional disturbance? Something like that.

6. You know the Hunters, from Halo? How they aren't really one organism, but rather a collection of different organisms to make up one operating semi-intelligent being? What if it was like that?

7. "Teams up". Well, what do you mean by that? Fighting side by side, or just, the bounty hunter just is a huge prick and starts picking off soldiers? Maybe not a bounty hunter, but a commando from a rival army or something.

8. That depends. If this Oryu planet isn't TOO important, I don't see why the Threat shouldn't be able to just take it over completely and make it into it's own creepy mushy dominion. If you want to keep it in your own head canon, we could just have the heroes retreat from this scary massive monster. If you want to have a little side-canon, we could just have some of them die in the battle. Maybe in future battles, this Threat infested Oryu planet could be a location to fight on, or an established location in the lore.

2. yeh. just making it the army less OP or having a reason to explain why they suddenly are less powerful.

6. yeah that's what i was thinking, except like, the weird fungus and creatures would shoot the acid for it.

so yeah

that's the monster, I guess. If not, just say so

Now, where should this happen? On some far out planet, isolated from the others for one thing.
A rocky, cold planet? To contrast with the red's and weird organic materials of the Threat? (i'm calling it that now nerd) Maybe a somewhat major city somewhere nearby to encourage the fight along.

Obviously, the whole planet wouldn't be just rocks and cold, it would have plant life and forests. it would just be a planet of cool colors. faded blues and grays, very light greens and an almost teal sky. then the monster comes in with it's dark purples, red's, dark greens, and wet texture.

Soooo . . . You two are doing a story fight. How is this new to the arena?

2. well i mean
we could not have orbital bombardment and crappier vehicles to make the fight more interesting. maybe the little monsters could fly, too. (EDIT: And by crappier i mean just making the sci-fi army less advanced and with some plot limitations to make it so they can't just orbital bombard the monster to death instantly, or just use their super immediate death vehicles right away. if they just never had them in the first place we wouldn't have to explain why they don't have them in the fight, instead substituting it for less powerful vehicles.)

4. cool wrapped that up!

6. okay cool sounds good

"Poisonous"

I'm guessing you got like cut off mid-sentence or something
like your turkey in the oven went off and you had to go get it
so i'll just leave that there for now

Fated Matchups

2. Hovercopters, I guess. Something that floats in one place while people shoot off of it or jump off of it or hang on to it. Cool stuff.

4. Smaller baddies would be good because, if the monster is really big, it would be cooler than just the monster swatting away at tiny mosquito soldiers. We could actually have little battles happening ON the monster. Now that's cool.

5. If it's a long overarching canon.

6. I'd be willing to do that. I could try to get someone else interested in this subject after we're donedoing it. Cause hey, why not have different people take on the same canon? It'd be cool, I think. Limiting an entire in canon universe is dumb. So that's why people don't do it. Not sure why I'm even talking anymore... Okay then. Sounds good.

What do you think our forces should look like? I was thinking of calling the alien monster "The Threat". The Threat vs UNT.

The monster could stand on two legs, with arms that drop drop down to it's knees. Sometimes it goes on all fours. It could be covered with alien fungus, that give off a sort of poisonous gas. It's mouth? Well, I'm not sure about it's whole face in general. I was thinking maybe it could just kind of be a mass of tendrils and goopy gross stuff, with no real defined shape. Be a little creepy. Maybe some of the plants living on it would fire poisonous or acidic projectiles, and the monster would just have big hands and claws.

Now, if it was a BIG monster, the small aliens could live inside it. Like a hive mind sort of thing. Like the Zerg, from Starcraft.
With all of this symbiosis going on, it would look like wherever the monster came from had an ecosystem and stuff.

Fated Matchups

1. By universe, I mean canon. Should have clarified.

2. Yeah, and helicopters and stuff too

3. okay

4. what if it's like Shadow of the Colossus? And the Monster has little alien baddies on it defending it from the agile soldiers? just a thought

5. What if it's like, colonizing the planet? and it turns it into a creepy alien planet

6. yuppers!

Fated Matchups

1. What if like, the Monster is like a mistake that's coming from some weird dimension that is opened up by the portal? And like portal-travel is commonly used in this universe but this is the first time a horrific monster has appeared out of it, like, falling out of it or crawling out of it.

2. Additional waves would be cool. And maybe we could have a character that is flying high above in a small command ship, observing from below.

3. not sure what this means. is this sci-fi or fantasy?

4. If it's small, maybe a few vehicles. But if it's a big battle with a big/smaller but powerful monster, definitely bring in some vehicles that can be destroyed.

5. I was thinking that, too, because then we could use this universe as a sort of on-going battle with this monster versus like, the entire planet. Just have different people pick it up or join in every once in a while. With a few twists thrown in, of course.

Perhaps this first battle would take place in a sort of remote setting?

Fated Matchups

yaay we did it buddy
we did it importantnobody
we made it happen

okay so what

I'll be a big old monster alien that I'll design and probably take some inspiration to create, and you'll be a big army full of sci-fi dudes with some little underpowered heroes mixed in, right?

Where should this be? will the Monster come out of the previously mentioned portal, or like, come out of the ocean like Godzilla, or the sky? I'm thinking it'll be a little bit like that monster from Cloverfield, big, bipedal, but uses it's arms to balance itself and swing around. Probably not as ginormous, though. Or maybe it will be that size, if you want the sci-fi army to be massive, and with a lot of cool vehicles. But I was thinking maybe like 30 feet tall and it shoots acid or something.
