The Arcangel2 finally completes its trip to Auir, inside the empire walls. Halo CMDR walks out of his ship, and to the consul chambers, the detonator at hand."Dolorous, I've infiltrated DaEIAITH2's ship, the Heart of Fear, and have setup 2 Shiva warheads within it, in the control room. I didn't find Xeroh or DaEIAITH2 aboard the ship though. I have the detonator here." *hands Dolorous the detonator* "It is my opinion that we detonate the nuke, because of what he has done, but you can decide whether or not to vaporize his ship."

Thank you, honourable Praetor, for your esteemed opinion on my typing, etc. I will be constructing my fortress until tomorrow.

after running for an hour,Bucky then realizes that Spartan 096 is not even on the same planet as he is.so he walks all the way to where he crashed his lifepod.it is still able to get off the ground,and is covered in frost.he gets in and flies up to the first ship that he sees. Hopefully they can locate 096 for him.
the shp,appereantly,belonged to Pink_Menace,Liet_Pat,and Halo CMDR.

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.

I agree we lost some fun people, but hey, we got a new one, Bucky. Hes pretty funny sometimes. I really miss Frag Master and the Love Shack ranting tho. That was great. And, no, there is nothing keeping me from going evil *small grin slowly works its way across Pink_Menace's face*

Bucky. Which one. We dont excatly SHARE a ship.

Halo CMDR:

I look skeptically at you, close my eyes for a moment, open them again, and slowly nod. I hand the detonator back to you.

These are not my methods. I approve, but I leave the matter to you. Also, I humbly apologize for my absence earlier. I'm just finishing reading through all the history here, and I wish I could have intervened at a few points... My sincere condolences for any losses you have taken from my lack of support.

To the Triumvirate as well, I apologize. Don't think that you have to be in a mold here either. Plot twists are welcome. I would have honestly enjoyed Excommunicado absorbing the Demon's powers, or Pink Menace truly going evil (as a sidenote to you, Pink, you have to do evil stuff instead of saying you're evil for people to do something about you). All this said, keep it up, and I'll try my best to do the same.

yea. I didnt want to not be able to turn good again tho. e.g. not being allowed to ally with my old allys. But hey, worst comes to worst, I wait for the laser war to end

As Pink_Menace sits in his study, he once again feels called to merge with the universe. He now knows the awesome power that comes along with it, and how good it feels. All could be his if he just let go and... No! He has to stay here, now. He fights for control of his mind, but it is as if something... else has control of it. Once again his all consuming thought is total annailation. There has been peace for far to long.

He looks over his fortress, the Pinnacle of Auir, and the smaller fortress near it and mutters to himself, "This is what I'm staying in?" Great spires of stone and fire rise up out of the ground, creating a mighty wall around his fortress. He holds out Sunder and a dark blue stream of magic poured out, strenghtening these walls against any non-mortal attack. "Thats more like it." he thinks. Great storm clouds gather overhead, striking lightning all on his outer walls, to prevent anyone to try and scale them. As he levitates down to the ground he wonders. Who will be the first to go...

He soars into the air, reaching deIATH's fortress. Gargoyels fly at him. Pink shrugs them off as lances of pure evil fly from the palms of his hands, destroying all in his path. He arrives at his fortress, making the earth quake and the sky rain hail.

"Thank you, Dolorous. I've decided to end this here," he says. With that, he contacts lieut_pat and Pink Menace. "lieut_pat and Pink Menace, are you still on DaEIAITH2's ship? I've decided to detonate the nukes so both of you need to get off that ship if you are still on."

Halo recieves a distress call from his ship. "Sir! There is an unknown intruder on-board the Arcangel2 on the bridge! You need to get over here quick!" With that, Halo starts running back to his ship, his pistol ready. He presses a button just outside his ship on a command console that turns all of the lights off in the bridge.

An evil lughter sounds through the com "Halo... Old friend. Why do you try to keep me safe? For this act of kindness, you shall die a reletivally painless death, and, if you wish, I will save you for last. But for now..." Halo look s across the port viewscreen to see deIATHs ship fly by at well over 5000 meters per second...

Dolorous has pondered over his own existence since he last interfered with the many factions fighting for control of the universe...

Why am I here? Why am I the one to judge the fate of so many... it all seems so unjust. I was once a mortal as they were. I still am... or no? Sometimes, I can still hear my own ghosts... my own demons. I see my old past, but no, it will haunt me no more. I was taken from that, I was purified, and now it is my duty, my call to preserve that which I betrayed in times past: Justice. I hold now the keys to Life and Death, given to me by hands that formed their very essence. I am not worthy, yet I stand not on my own authority. I am bound to no one but them. I judge for the past, present, future, and eternity... will I remain, when all else falls? Only time will tell...

Sidenote: I'm trying to build a backstory and play off of it as time goes on. Enjoy...

From his view of the various currents of spacetime, Dolorous notices a rift, small, yet not unnoticable. Curious as to it's meaning, he begins to examine it. As he approaches, he suddenly gains a sense of urgency... and something that tightens his very heart and soul within... something he has never felt in his existence, or so he thought, until it surfaced like a bad dream that the dawn drove away long ago: FEAR. The word came to his mind almost instantly, and with the force of someone, or something, speaking it in his ear... it came from the rift, that much was certain, yet it came also from within. As his thoughts mulled over this for some time, the vision faded, and he became presently aware of a new threat in a direction he had failed to anticipate: Pink Menace. As he slowly became less absorbed in thought, the bridge of his ship seemed to materialize around him and he focused on the matter at hand. Justice. At any cost, he must do his duty. Yet, the vision was duly noted as an omen of woes to come...

I shall return tomorrow. The enemies of Justice will recieve the swift fall of a righteous blade.

Dolorous moves his flagship to intercept Pink Menace with grim resolve, though the vision of the rift still haunts him. It whispers to him, telling him of the chaos to come, something even he can not stop.

He knows that despite his power, despite any workings of things past or things to come,

He can not stop Destiny.

Halo finally enters the darkened bridge, and turns on the emergency lights. The room eluminated in a dark pulsing red. He sees a strange dark figure near the controls. He quickly raises his pistol and aims at the person's head. "Hey! Identify yourself now!" Halo orders.

Posted by: Xeroh
Thousands of planets away, xeroh walks around the face of a small moon. No suit, just a Breathermask lached around the head. dosent mind the cold, couldent stand on minute with that guy in the pod, there was two freaking pods!!! doesent matter now, I would release the godsends... even if I have to kill everyone first.

Lets recall that the Godsends are trapped in a black hole...

Gimli- what will you dub your new city/state? I will add it to the header post, which, by the way, please check out the header post! I've changed it and added some stuff! I'm considering moving some of it to a webpage, so let me know what all of you think about that.

And Pink Menace- at least give some reasoning for turning bad. I'd say there was plenty going on today- almost too much to deal with. I think I like the thread the way it is, the slower it is, the easier to keep up with if you have a busy schedule.

And yes- I almost did break, and consume the Godsends. That is where I will stem my next post from:


As Excommunicado flung the gates of the Black Citadel open, he somberly marched to his study.

Lighting incense, he flung his sceptre across the room.

He was weak. He almost succumbed to the temptation of the Godsends.

It wouldn't happen again.

He would dehumanize himself, eradicate the shreds of compassion he still owned. He would eliminate all useless emotions. Love, prejudice, envy would be completely surpressed.
His people would hate him for it. His friends would hate him for it. His colleagues would hate him for it. But it was unavoidable. He finished writing his order to his second, Daath, and began the ritual that would cleanse his humanity from him, leaving him a powerful mage.
He would crush his foes as he will crush his human side. He will become colder than his cold bane.

The order read as follows:

Daath- Bring the workers to the Estalian Peninsula and build me a most formidable fortress. It shall be named Gorgoroth. I will not be limited to one iron fist- make it as potent as my masterful Black Citadel. Spare no expense, line every inch of the outer breach wall with blades. Arm turrets with biological agents, and dig many miles deep to amass a great army.
Do not fail me. Gorgoroth must be the most potent stronghold ever built. I will hand this city state to you if no other will take it.

The true ruler of humptopia has return on The Angel of Death. To the new Laser wars to re claim what is mine. Looking around he looks for his 2nd in command Halo CDMR, but that is not important. I only ask, "Whats happened folks?"

DaElAlTH2 discovers that, suprisingly, his ship is not blown to pieces. When he gets to the bridge, he finds that the walls have been blown up, and that there are two huge nukes just outside of it. Sensing that they are remotley controlled, he erects a force barrier around them to stop any detonation signals from entering. He has plans for these nukes.
When he later arrives at the Swamp of Terror, he finds that Pink Menace have recently been there and destroyed some of his gargoyles. He enters his tower to recover the Staff of Returning.
Since he knows no one else will come online for hours to come, he decides to wait until then before he kills everyone. In case some one should come and try to destroy his tower, he seals it makes so that ot reflects all magic cast on it back to the source.

Pink_Menace soars over dIEATH's fortress, wrapping the surrounding universe around himself to remain undectected. As soon a D (im gonna say D not DiEATH cuz I always spel it wrong) enters his fortress, Pink "uncloaks" himself. He launches a powerful attack aimed to destroy this fortress once and for all. Yet something peculiar happens. The magic seems to be absorbed into the fort. Pink_Menace turns around and begins to flyback to the Pinnacle, and barley senses the attack behind him fast enough toturn around and create a barrier strong enough to stop his own attack. He would have to look into the phenominon later. He had other matters to attend to. Ones involving the Praetor, Dolorous.

Pink_Menace flies back to Ceaseria, the capital of Auir. There he flies above the land and looks down. "All shall remember the great Pink_Menace." He says. Suddelny, the ground begins to shake. Cracks split up and down along the borders of Ceaseria. It does not cut it off, nor harm anything inside the capital. He had far too much respect for nature to do that. He only makde the ground treacherous, one might fall into one of these cracks after a freesh snowfall if not careful and alert. Yet from the sky, if one was to look down, he would see words. Two words only: Pink_Menace

After 10 hours of intense focus and meditation, Excommunicado burst out of his study and plunged out into the beautiful darkness that was his Black Citadel. He breathed in the rich scent of scorched brimstone, and exhaled deeply.

Had he succeeded in dehumanizing himself? Only after the trials ahead would he know.

He heard a fluttering, and a soft impact behind him. The messenger walked up and stood behind the robed figure of Excommunicado.

"My leige, Gorgoroth will be completed in the next hour. It has not only met your expectations thus far, but exceeded them." Excommunicado nodded with satisfaction.
"Then notify the latter 9 legions to move there. See that production is increased as well. I have been building this army since the very beginning of the very first laser war. None will dispute my repertoire once it is made manifest. Sorry will be my foes who feel the might of my legions. Notify the science lead that he has the go ahead to test the new Centurion. I expect results."
Wordlessly, the messenger lifted off to go about his duties. He mounted his speeder and headed off to complete his quest. The remaining two challenges would be the deciding trials and tribulations of which his entire life pivoted around.


And to my old friend Pink Menace- we welcomed you back with open arms last time. I do not think you will be so lucky this time.

I believe that it is due time for several of us- (well mostly the remaining Triumvirate, which will have to be aptly renamed- or the third seat must be filled)- to address the people of Auir. They must know what we stand for.

And so I will compose a speech for the people before I embark on my epic quest. I hope you will follow suit.
