"Immersion is playing Half-Life and not noticing your house is burning down."- Paul Barnett

The most awesome thing ever!

lieut_pat is awakened in the night by one of his guards. "Sir? There's a com message you should see." I get up and walk to the patrol station to find the com. The guard finds it for me and shows me the most recent message. I have a city state in Auir! I imediatly order my men to pack up and soon we have returned to the Home Planet. I tell my citizens of our new city in Auir and we pack up and head to Auir.

Mooman's army of rampaging terminator cows continues to romp around in relative ease, until from the darkened sky, something like a falling star appears above his Legion of killing machines. It appears to be some kind of flare, but as the cows turn upwards, it bursts to release light as brilliant as a supernova that turns the night into day.... Soon, but too late, mooman realizes that it is in fact an assault. From the Light, an earth-splitting explosion resounds, that does not cut off as suddenly as it began, but continues in intensity, until it finally culminates in a shockwave impacting with the ground, the force of which bends back the very crustal plates of the planet. The army of seemingly invincible killers is crushed and incinerated as the very matter that they consist of degenerates into base elements, and even those break down into lesser forms such as hydrogen gas. All that remains once the dust settles is a 50 mile wide crater, ringed by a virtual mountain range of crustal plates, uplifted from the blast. No movement detected.

Halo CMDR boards his longsword fighter and heads toward the mysterious black tower erected a few miles from his base. The closer he got, the greater the strange fear grew. He didn't know why, but he continued on towards the tower. He slows down now that he is only half a mile away from it.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Using all of his power and concentration Pink_Menace joins with the universe, effectivally dematerializing. He now tracks down Dolorous and rematerializes in front of him, on one knee. "Dolorous the Preator." he says in his deep voice. "I require your assistance with the Godsends."

Sidenote to all participating:

Great job guys. The quality in this Laser War is far better than the others, in terms of writing and participation. I'm really thrilled to see this kind of interaction. Keep it up guys, and spread the word if you can.

Of course, what requires my attention?

"The Godsends. They are my orders leader. They are the reson we were created. Not many are old enough to recall their rise to power, but I am. We must contact them. They may comply with my requests not to aid Xeroh." Pink_Menace answers. "You are the Preator, and have been sent from the heavens. I can think of no better man to aid me then you."

Halo CMDR slows the longsword to a hover and lands it on the arid, burnt ground. He climbs out to find absolutely no vegetation whatsoever in a large radius around this tower. He slowly approaches the tower as quietly as possible, with his pistol holstered, but at the ready.

I blink and I gain a slightly puzzled countenance.

I have Xeroh in my flagship, since I released her from DaElAlTH2's prison.

Still, if she ever was to be released or escape she cannot gain the Godsends or all is lost. All that we have worked so hard to build. We must contact them. I need an answer, old friend. Will you help me? If you cannot, don't feel obligated, but I need an answer.

Very well, I concur. How do you suggest we go about this? This legend of the Godsends seems to match my own memory of my master race, the Jjarro, and their own exploits. I have been out of contact with them for some time, but they always contact me when it is needed.

Halo CMDR looks back as he hears a screaming jet behind him. He sees that lieut_pat's fighters are now circling the tower. He continues closer towards DaEIAITH's black tower, still no retaliation or movement.

I apologize deeply, Praetor, but I must leave. There are matters of great importance that I must attend to. Contact me if you have any information. I shall be at the Pinnacle studying after this short errand. With that, Pink_Menace merges with the universe and in a flash of light, is gone.

Pink_Menace rematerializes next to Halo_CMDR by the black tower. Menace then pulls out his staff, Sunder, from his cloak and shouts a few words in High Magi. Suddenly Pink's cloak and staff seem to absorb all colors around it, changing from its normal metallic blue to a dark red-black glistening with fire. Seconds later the color drained from his cloak and he grew dark, then completly black. However, Sunder grew in brightness, seemingly sucking all the color from its wielder. Then, in a bright flash, a great light flew from Sunder at the black tower. this light illuminated the entire structure and 100 meters around it. Suddenly all the fear and panic was lost from the heart of Halo.

Halo CMDR slowly backs away as Pink aims an amazingly bright staff at the strange tower. The light dissipates from the black tower(but it still remains intact), and his fear was lost. Puzzled, he asks Pink: What was that? Who's tower is that? What could've caused me to have a fear over something as silly as this strange tower?

They are outside of time and space, so far as I know. The only thing I believe Xeroh would have found is relics of their power. It is my duty to defend against that imbalance of power those relics would have given Xeroh, though. To contact the Jjarro, that imbalance must be created. In order for them to intervene, an event of proportions that would affect them must take place.
