The leader looked around, even as the scientists collected readings without actually touching anything but the air and the floor. Some of his comrades looked uncertainly at him, waiting for instructions. After the words and demonstration of the A.I. the leader looked to the others once more.


"Hold position. First squad on me. If you don't get an all clear in ten minutes, get back to the defensive lines." The others saluted, while several soldiers from the first fell into position around the leader. The recon team moved carefully forward, until they just about reached the light. The leader took a moment, nodded to his men, and moved forward.


He watched as the world slightly shifted to the side, and stumbled as though he had tripped on something. Catching himself, the Viarian soldier steadied his footing and looked around with his weapon ready, just as the rest of the first followed his example and emerged on the other side of the portal like structure.

[Digop]
Several hours after the activation of Scenario 98,


The research facility sank into the depths of the sea,but several Revanents escaped into nearby cities,wreaking havoc on the Guins.


As the Guins mobilize from nearby planets to defend their home,the Guin suffer massive losses from the enemy.


Emperor Movli stands in front of an ancient facility hidden within the city of Nakop,his hand on a button.As the Emperor hesitates about whether to press the button or not,his advisor,Jurak rushes in the facility:"Your Majesty,the Neorok are amassing their armies in Fropok(some city near Nakop),we should leave this place as soon as possible."


"Jurak,did you know why our ancestors constructed the city of Nakop?"Emperor Movli turns his head to face his subordinate.


"Of course,Your Majesty."Jurak admires the ancient structures within the facility,then proceeds:"it is to conceal the presence of the Black Sun,the weapon has seriously devastated our civilization,we can't afford for it to fall into the wrong hands."


"Jurak,if our ancestor are here,would they activate the Black Sun?"asked the Emperor,knowing that Nakop will fall soon.


"Of course they will,the Black Sun should not fall into Neorok hands."As the Emperor's beloved advisor replies,Emperor Movli presses the button,activating the facility.Electrical currents swarm through the facility as the structure begins to move by itself,merging into the legendary weapon.

The Black Sun rises from the depths of the structure,waiting for the Emperor's commands.


The Emperor stares at the miniature weapon,his face full of shock:"This is the Black Sun?I can't believe that it can even pack a punch to a spaceship."


The Black Sun,obviously sentient,replies;"Hey,that's mean!"


"So,you are the Black Sun,the superweapon our ancestors created a long time ago?"asked Emperor Movli to the sentient structure.


After some brief conversation between the Emperor and the Black Sun,The Black Sun leaves the structure to finish it's duty.


[Fropok city]


A black glowing sphere is seen thrusting out of the city of Nakop,heading towards the fallen city of Fropok as soon as it is released.Revanent Hydras and Worriers engage the flying structure as it enters the skies of the city,but are instantly crushed by the structures magnetic waves.


"Whoa,look at what we have,a city full of zombies...."mumbled the Black Sun as he flies through the fallen city,engaging the consumed Guin citizens,freeing them of their misery."This city is screwed"


The Black Sun soon notices a ship flying into the city and performs a basic scan on it,revealing the numbers of soldiers within it.It rushes to the ship and blasts it into smithereens with it's magnetic waves.


"No,you are not screwing my people up,you insolent ship"said the weapon to itself as it continues it's rampage throughout the city,killing hundreds,if not thousands of revanents.


Meanwhile,in the city hall of Fropok...


"General,there's a black ball flying throughout the city.It killed hundreds of our soldiers through unknown means while rampaging through our fortifications.According to some of our soldiers,the ball seems to be sentient."reported a female officer to Valaria,who is overlooking the birth of new soldiers within the building.


The female officer was soon blasted into smithereens as the Black Sun entered the building.The Revanents engage the structure to protect their officer,only to decorate the floor with blood and slabs of meat.


"So,you are the commanding officer of these...zombies,huh?I guess my creators will be more than happy to dissect you."said the Black Sun to Valaria as it creates two opposite pressure currents at the female officers torso,threatening to rip open her abdomen.

[Fropok city]


"This inferior being has attempted to resist me...Interesting..."mumbled Black Sun to itself as he witnesses the disappearance of all Revanents in the city."Maybe I should had used Force 2 instead"


The Black Sun then analyzes it's previous scan on Revanent units as it returns to Nakop.


"What an interesting race...My creators would really appreciated the chance to dissect and research them..."


[black Sun facility,Nakop]


Emperor Movli stares at the ancient structures of the facility,still moving even after the Black Sun was released hours ago.


Soon enough,a screen was brought to the front of the Emperor.The screen soon started to play a recording, believed to be recorded millions of years ago.


"To anyone watching this recording, you might wonder who I am and also what is this facility for.But I'm sure that you had activated the Black Sun." The Guin figure in the screen pauses for a moment,then continues his speech:"I'm Dr. Grovatosk from the


United Guin Government Military Research Department,and this facility was built to conceal something that you will get to know later."


Emperor Movli soon watches as a passage is formed in the structure,the structure's secrets waiting to be discovered....

On the other side, there were massive white shelves which contained glowing metallic disks. There were glowing sections of the wall as well as librarian drones moving about. "Welcome. To the Library." The AI said. "This library is only of four. This one is on another system but, as you know, I am not allowed to reveal the coordinates to this planet." The AI said. "It is alright, these drones are harmless. The only ones you truly need to worry about are those." The AI motioned at a group of different shaped drones. They were shiny and sleek with a red and white light at the front blinking.


"Those are security drones and they will only attack if you attempt to steal or destroy this installation." The AI said. "Come this way." The AI said leading the group through the endless halls of the library, many twists and turns along the way as a security s that intruders would get lost easily. The AI led them to a humongous platform which slowly levitated bringing the Ai an the virais to a higher level of the library. This section of the library was a bit dimmer and much fewer librarian drones and more security drones hovering about. "Excuse the presence, I have to take you through a more restricted area as a detour." The AI said. still leading the way. Eventually, the I stopped at a massive door. "This will take just a minute." The Ai said disappearing into one of the shafts in the ceiling. For a tie, it seemed as though the Ai had abandoned the Virais but eventually the massive gates started to open up revealing the AI on the other side.


In the room on the other side, it was only illuminated by the bright blue light shooting out of the ground at the centre, there were multiple platforms filled with the glowing disks and a bridge connecting the two sides of the room together. "This is our final stop. Just please on't touch anything while I go and talk with the security." The AI said wandering off.

"Good." The AI said. "Now, come and lend me your strength." The AI said raising it's hand in the air as a glowing orb formed in the palm of it's hands. Suddenly, It grasped many revenats including Zetherian as in mere seconds the AI transported them to a eerily dark hallway. "There is no time to wait. Come, quickly this way." The AI said as it began to run through the hallway as it's footsteps echoed though.

[AI]


Suddenly the AI was interrupted as the Ai and the guins that it was accompanying were transported as well. The AI mumbled several words under it's breath as they re-appeared in a similar dark hallway that the AI had taken the revenats to that stretched out from both directions. "Where are we?" The AI said as it floated around slightly panicked. "Did someone touch something back in the library?" The AI asked the guins in a stern voice. "I told you to not touch anything. Now we are somewhere and my electronics are currently rebooting." The AI said in distraught. But what is unknown is that some other had transported them to this location. The hallway was void of any life and it was dead silent to the point one could heart their own heart beating.

[The Viari Nation]


As First Squad and the leader looked around for any threats, the AI assured them that the security drones would attack only in defense. Still cautious, they kept their weapons at ready while the leader signaled one of the other members to go back for the others. The lone soldier stepped back through the portal, before emerging once more, this time with the rest of the patrol. The scientists seemed impressed by the massive shelves full of undiscovered data, but kept themselves in check. They followed the AI forward, moving through the hallways to a platform, which ascended once they stepped on board. Finally arriving past the massive gate, the AI gave them a heads up before disappearing again.


The leader gave a wave of his hand, and the soldiers quickly formed a defensive formation around the scientists. Though intrigued, the scientists did their best to collect data (about the atmosphere, gravitational pull, etc.) without actually touching much of the area around them or moving beyond the protective circle they stood in.

It took several minutes until the Ai returned re-entering from a shaft in the ceiling. "No worries now. The Security drones will not harm you. I've spoken to them about you all being harmless." The AI said. It looked around the room wandering from place to place. "Now lets see here. Where did it I put it." The AI said searching around the room. "oh, silly of me. The AI said as it approached the glowing pillar of light. It stretched out a kinesis orb as it retrieved some form of device. It was a greenish glowing stick with a handle like top. The AI took it as it hovered slightly above the Virais. "Well, This thing does have two functions. But You only really need the one. The AI said still holding the device within it's grasp. "I think that it's best if I explain it on our way back." The AI said. "You see, this mexa contains-" The AI was suddenly interrupted by a warp which sucked the AI and the Virais to a similar looking Dark hallway Just like the ones the Revenants and Guins were taken to.


"What." The Ai sounded confused as they were teleported to this new destination. "What happened?" The AI sounded slightly more panicked and alarmed. The Dark hallways were not too brightly lit giving the impression as if they were never ending hallways. but that was not the case as the hallways were just very very long. "No, No, No, No, No. This can not be happening." The Ai said trying to reason with itself.

[uGF]


The UGF marines were also transported to the same long dark hallways by and unknown force. Together with their Elite commanding officer, who slowly re-gained his senses looked around. "What the." One of the soldiers began to panic slightly as other fellow marines came to calm the young marine down. "Kee your guards up men." Lloyd said. "Get your Night vision active." Lloyd said s he pressed a button on his combat visors as did the marines who pressed a small finger pad on the side of their helmets making their glasses darker into night vision mode. The Marines raised their assault rifles as the group slowly began to inch forwards in one direction with four marines walking backwards to keep eyes on their backs.

[AI]


"No, No, No, NO." The AI continuously said s it floated around frantically. "What in the Priestess's name has happened. How in the world are we suppose to get back home." The AI said. "Oh why my masters must this happen to me?" "Why?" The AI sounded distraught as it and the guins were also transported just like the virais, UGF and revenants to different sections of an unknown facility which was dark and uninhabited. "This has to be a bad dream. I can not believe it."

[Ancient facility,Nakop]


Soldiers walk into the passage,scouting the area for any threats that might harm the Emperor.The dark hallways were automatically lit up as soldiers passed through them.The soldiers were soon halted in front of a door,apparently sealing something away from the Guins.A team of scientists starts to unlock the door,while the Emperor was greeted by the Black Sun returning to the facility.


"Hello,nice to meet you again.By the way,did you mind introducing yourself to me this time?"The Black Sun noticed that Emperor Movli III was still in the facility,as it descended back into the facility.The Emperor's subordinates are angered by the Black Sun's way of talking to the Emperor.Jurak was about to shout at the Black Sun for it's ignorance,but the Emperor motioned him to calm down.


"As you can see,I'm the current emperor,or if you prefer,leader of the current Guin government,the New Guin Empire."Emperor Movli proceeded to introduce himself to the Black Sun,who seems not really interested.


"So,you are the current presi..I mean Emperor...I see."replied the Black Sun.


[AI]


"Holy shit,what is this place?"Guin soldiers began to ponder about their current location as the scientists analyze the hallways.

The leader looked at the A.I. as it floated over to pillar of light and grabbed some sort of green cylinder out of the light. Just as it explained the functionality of the object to them, something grabbed the group, A.I. included, and tossed them into a different location all together. The A.I. immediately began freaking out, talking to itself as it attempted to calm down. The fact that several Viarian weapons immediately pointed at it probably didn't help, with the leader's included, while the others continued to be on even more on guard if that was even possible. The low light of the new hallway didn't mattered that much, as the visors of the Viarian helmets instantly adjusted for the situation, activating a combination of infrared, air sonar scan, and other vision enhancement. The only ones out of the Viarian patrol that reacted were the scientists, who quickly looked around and continued their studies, though now with more caution and speed. Suspiciously, the leader addressed the A.I.


"What is the meaning of this?"

[unknown place]


Zetherian and the several soldiers brought with him scanned the area. The dark hall way was no problem for them their eyes instantly adjusted to the darkness.


The four royal guards female revanent higher life forms lead the way in front of Zetherian. Six soldier followed behind him, along with four hydra worriers. They slowly made there way down the hall after the AI.

The AI started to calm down slightly. It took several breaths as it regained it's concentration. "Okay. Think." The Ai said. It trned on it's light down the two hallways but the light was too dim at the end to make out where the end of the hallway was. As the AI turned around to look at the opposite hallway once more, the hallway had shrunk as was half the distance closer. "What in the world?" The Ai said before zooming to the end of the hallway. After several minutes of inspection, it turned out that there was door. The AI called the guins over in joy.


The Ai turned and started to unlock the door when it stopped half way. "Oh my." The security system seemed to be the exact type found on other installations. "No. Unless, this is what think it is." The AI said but after a few more minutes of arguing in it's head the AI continued to open the door as it unlocked. When it did it it found the virais and another AI at the opposite end.


"What." The Ai said shocked.


"What is the meaning of this?" The other AI said as it gave an object to the virai before approaching it.


"I'd like to hear your reasoning as well." The AI said to the AI guiding the Virais. "because this was certainly not my doing."


"And ths was not my doing." The AI guiding the Virais replied.

"I don't know what happened." The AI said. "And put those weapons down, i'm not the culprit here." The AI said in a more stern tone. The AI began to breath slowly as it began to collect it's thoughts. "Lets calm down and see what we can do." The AI said. It looked around as it shone it's light through the two hallways but found that it was too dim to see the end of the hall from both sides. The Ai then shut it's lights off once more before turned them back on and this time, the hallways were half the distance closer. "What?" The AI said confused. But it decided to not argue with the logic of this alien world as it activated it's built in sensors to find a door. "What?" The AI sounded even more confused. "It seems as the security for this door are the same ones found on other installations..." The Ai trailed off. "Is this perhaps one world I did not know about?" The AI finally opened up the door after murmuring something to itself about what happened and his confusion before the doors finally opened. It opened up to a massive dark atrium. The only source of light were glowing from the cracks between the floor and the wall as well as a dim light on the ceiling.


On another door, stood the guins and another AI. "What is the meaning of this?" The AI said as it gave the cylindar like object to the virai commander. "Please keep this safe." The AI sad before approaching the other AI.


"I'd like to hear your reasoning as well." The AI accompanying the Guins replied with attitude. "because this was certainly not my doing."


"And ths was not my doing." The AI guiding the Virais replied.

Instead of listening to the A.I., a few more weapons was placed on it. The scientists, oblivious to everything, continued to take data while the soldiers attempted the do what reconnaissance they could from the defensive positions. The leader looked suspiciously at the A.I. as it attempted to figure out where they were and just what was going on. Suddenly the A.I. opened a door and on the other side was a replica of it as well as Guins. More railguns and even a few arc cannons turned towards the newcomers as the leader stood at ready with his own weapon trained on the aliens, before addressing the A.I. first.


"Explain yourself. Now."


To the Guins' he called, equally suspicious. "So the New Guin Empire that did this? What is this?"

[Humanoid AI]


"Enough!" The Humanoid AI said as a pulse emitted from it's body restraining the AIs and all the different factions inside the massive atrium. The AI looked around. "I shall release you. And when I do, I will expect that you all shall treat each other with non-hostile measures. Because if you don't, I will be forced to make peace between you all." The AI said before the supernatural grasp on everyone in the room was lifted.


"You stop pointing weapons around." The AI said in a stern tone towering over the Virais as it pointed it's finger at them. @WanderingJester "And you, do not respond back with hostilities."The AI pointed at the Guins. @Nyq "I don't know what your intentions are. But if they are to cause harm, I shall not stand for it." The AI said pointing at the revenants @Lord Anubis


-----


There was a door that opened on another side of the atrium as UGF marines exited through with their guns pointed in a defensive position. The AI turned around and saw that the UGF had noticed the other factions within the room and pointed their guns at the AI. "Don't even think about it mortal." The Ai said to the UGF marines. "I will only attack you if you will do harm to the other mortals or myself and my fellow machines." The AI said to which the UGF still had their guns pointed. The AI made a crossing gesture with his fingers as the UGF marine's wer eforced to lower their guns by an invisible force.

The Guin soldiers lower their weapons,observing the alien soldiers around them.A captain walks out and said:"So,what we have here?Bands of aliens led by AIs....Wait,we are also led by an AI.We need an some clarification of the current situation."

[The Viari Nation]


Unable to resist the force pushing their weapons down, the Viarians simply glared at everyone in sight. The leader looked to the A.I.s and tapped his foot impatiently.


"So, what? You intend to keep us all here until we die of old age? Either kill us or release us, but stop wasting our time."


Meanwhile, the scientists, unhindered, continued to take sample readings from everything around, even glancing curiously at the other races present, hungry for new technology and data.

"I'd rather prefer that you do not aggravate him with questions." The AI said to the guins. "It is very difficult to work with him. And he has already told you everything he deemed fit that you should know. Or that is my hypothesis at the moment." The Ai said.


@Nyq


[AI]


"Might I remind you. Mortal. I am the guidance to you. if you so dare as to defy my warnings. I will gladly purge you here and now." The Ai warned. "I will not tolerate rudeness in my wake. So unless you have anything ELSE to say that does not involve vile tones or language, I suggest you keep that pot hole of a mouth shut." The AI said to the Virai soldier.


@WanderingJester


[AI]


"Now. Why is it that of all places, the mortals as well as us. Synbiotic life forms have all come together here. A place of such heretical ways and discrage." The humanoid Ai said. "Um. Just to clarify. Where exactly are we?" The Ai by the Virai's side asked. "You should know Monitor. As wel as I do. This is installation 00." The two monitor AIs gasped slightly. "And I need to know which one of you were the ones that brought everyone here. Or was it someone or some thing else?" The Ai said.


"As I stated before. Neither of us even have the augmentations to even carry out such feets." One of the Monitors said. "And We would both appreciate it if yu stopped accusing us on false actions."

The Guin scientists starts to collect data about the facility as the AI's argue. Guin soldiers start panicking as they realize that they are trapped.


"Captain,we are trapped here!"


"Someone help us!"


A captain steps out and motions the soldiers to calm down."Calm down,soldiers.You are not kids."


The soldiers soon calm down as the captain listens to the AI's words.

 

[WanderingJester]

[The Viari Nation]


The leader scoffed at the AI, though the other soldiers still aren't able to lift their weapons.


"If you're so glad to, then why haven't you done it yet machine? I just told you to kill us or release us, yet you do little else than hold us in place and throw insults. So if we're so intolerable, cease the empty threats and just kill us, or, as I've said before, release us back to our comrades."


Meanwhile the scientist, still detached from the situation at hand, began to approach the members of the other factions and the AIs with their scanners, not actually touching any of the other individuals but using their equipment to pick up a wealth of information from the other species and machinations in that weird limbo.

[AI]


Noticing the Viari scientists scanning them with their scanners,a captain threatened:"Stop scanning us,or I'll shoot you!"


As soon as the captain shouted,the Guin soldiers attempted to lift their weapons,but to no avail.Noticing the situation,the captain ordered:"Enter Dormant mode,no aliens are getting our technology."


Guins soldiers stop moving as their exoskeletons enters Dormant mode,shutting down most systems except life-supporting systems and basic defences.


@WanderingJester

 

[WanderingJester]

[The Viari Nation]


The scientist, noticing the powering down of the exoskeletons, simply switched over to scanning the life-support systems and the defenses, while switching over to sonar to get the structural layout of the powered down sections. They seemed excited, despite the life or death situation around them.

[AI]


A Guin captain noticed the sonar scans by the Viari scientists,and ordered his soldiers through the dormant exoskeleton.


"These aliens are still scanning us,activate the anti-detection shields,that should block the sonars."


The Guin units activate their anti-detection shields as the captain murmured:"I hope that those scientists are scanning these aliens,at least some form of retaliation"
