Galactic Empires Reborn I: Residual Chaos

[QUOTE="tims run][Datin]
Datin knew that it was unethical to use his telekinetic abilities but he knew he would have to eventually face this menace.


"Same goes for me." Datin said to the imperfect. Datin stepped forward a bit. "What is it you want? Ex Terran? " Datin said taking another step as he put away his machine pistol back into his holster, ready to face the imperfect if it were to come to a battle.

"I want nothing but to help my people ascend..." Alferd Shaw began to speak as a long shadow formed behind the Sigmaterian and eerily stretched across the wall. Until Datin was able to watch in horror as the darkness coiled together and formed a humanoid shape standing behind the former Terran. The entity extended its incorporeal arm and placed its hand on the Sigmaterian's head.


Alferd Shaw's eyes suddenly became engulfed in darkness. When he spoke it was clearly not his voice but rather a far more ancient, cold sounding individual. The entity mouthed the words but the ascended Terran spoke them.


"...What a pleasure to finally meet you child. I must say that your journey is only just now beginning, Datin, honored Elite Nazca Force soldier of the Novin System Federation."

Datin stepped back a bit. "So that thing is controlling you. Enemy." Datin said to the captain before turning his attention to the black mass behind the captain. Datin stepped back slightly once more. "What is it you want?"

Entire systems were evacuated as it was barren of all military and civilian presences. Most of he systems on the edges of the galaxy were completely evacuated as they were the first to get the notice. Meanwhile, there were systems all through out the galaxy housing the Jachin system who were either beginning, nearing or were completely evacuated as the number of civilian and military vessels began to appear out of slip space in neighboring galaxies. Meanwhile the capital ship, station 010 along with most of the Jachin fleet had exited slip space into deep space and were approaching the fringes of one of the neighboring galaxies.


[Jachin]


The Lone battleship, 1 cruiser, frigate and Datin's personal stealth destroyer all stood idle as they continued to pummel the last remaining cities on te planet surface. The firepower was severely cut down but with the one battleship and the one cruiser, not all of the firepower was gone.

"We will be expecting your leader then once all of his matters are dealt with." The First officer replied before relaying the message to the battleship. "We will stay here then until this matter is finished and we shall escort your leader to our federation." The First officer heard from the head scientist about a scientist behind them which he apologized for. "No worries. But I need to tell you. Even if you do end up discovering dark matter and energy, there are many dangers that you do not know about. And if your leader decides to discuss diplomatic ties, we would be willing to assist and teach you how to stabilize the dark matter and energy because it will require more work than you think. And it is very hard to utilize it without disaster."

The commanding officer stared at Leon. "Marksman." The commander sad silently as he inspected the terran from head to toe. "I see that Leon here seems healthy." The commander said facing the lead hunter. The xugxugs did not intimidate him one bit and the commander rather found them amusing but with his face covered by a helmet only with glowing red eye slits, his facial expression could not be seen. The commander faced the lead hunter. "I thank you on behalf of the Chancellor for taking good care of our terran citizen under your protective wing."

The two ships were idle as the captains of the two mega-ships which dwarfed the planets within the system awaited a response from the alien ship from their message of peace and that they were here to begin their week long patrol outside of their own federation's territory for anything that might threaten the N.S.F's integrity that could possibly be heading towards the border of the N.S.F. But also that they are not malicious and do not intend to harm anyone as they see no reason to unless something posed a direct threat to the two ships.

"Blizzard?"


"Oooone moment..."


Silence filled the near-empty bridge as high-ranking personnel ran to observation windows on to ogle at the two huge mega-ships.


"Okay, I've figured out their communication system. You see-"


"Yes, Yes." Interrupted T'venn irritatedly. "They have communication. Wonderful. What was the message they sent us?"


Blizzard paused, then played the message over the speakers, filling the bridge with an alien language- alien, that was, to all but Reagis. "Huh. What's the NSF?"


Everybody looked at Reagis. Blizzard's image-wave representation pulsed agitatedly.


"You mean you understood that?"


"Yes, they spoke in SynSpeak. I recorded it."


Speaking through his cybernetic link, Blizzard spoke silently to Reagis. I am accessing your recording- I cannot understand it fully, but I am beginning translation based on other alien languages. I am now sending a message back."


Blizzard's message spoke of how the Coalition was peaceful, and that this Sector was in Coalition space- however they weren't going to attack the ships of they weren't attacked.

The hunter scowled at those words. "You act surprised that I am not a bloodthirsty savage, Terran," he growled, crossing his blue arms over his chest. "There is no need to thank me for being civilized," he said, baring his teeth under his face mask. "Tell me, is it common practice for you to beat and malnourish your companions? Because surely, that could be the only reason for you asking me such a question," he said, shaking his head in simple disappointment at the blatant close-mindedness of this Terran. "And yet Leon had me quite hopeful on the behavior of your people," he sighed. "If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them," the Hunter growled,

"Enemy?" The entity questioned as it eyed Datin as its incorporeal body did not appear bemused in any form. "Earlier you chided this current vessel of mine, former captain of the S.R.S. Kramer: Alferd Shaw, for supposedly killing his fellow Terrans. Yet no Terran soul was lost today."


Another pulse of energy from the Residual Energy core momentarily rose the tension as the room fell silent. It was only after it died down that the entity spoke again.


"Is it not obvious child? You. This entire minuscule greeting party was nothing more than a ruse to draw you out Datin. You can not possibly comprehend the situation you find yourself in. There are forces locked in an eternal struggle that expands further past even this Universe. Forces that in comparison make even your mighty Novin System's Federation look like nothing more than insignificant grains of sand on a beach."


The being, whoever it might be, allowed the insides of the former N.S.F. Ship to fall dead silent once more in order for everything to sink in.


"You, Datin Srey, have the honor of being a pawn in this colossal game. One of the chosen few throughout this Universe. All that matters is which force you will ultimately serve. Hence the importance of me reaching each of you first..."

The bridge of the N.S.S Morris received the reply from the alien of the message of peace as the captain acknowledged that the alien ship was not here for malicious intent. "Send a reply back." The captain said. The N.S.S Morris sent another message saying that the two factions seem to understand each other as the they both seem to be here for peace and that the N.S.F acknowledges the sovereignty of this nation and apologizes for intruding and that perhaps the two nations can speak with each other.

"No one mentioned prisoners, Terran. Leon is a Hunter of mine, free to do as he pleases, with more freedoms than any Terran soldier. He swears no loyalty to me, as I am naught more than his teacher and friend. It is the way of all Hunters. My kind, the Xerangonau, as proficient as we are in the Great Hunt, need others to join us. And that is why we travel to the worlds of others, finding their best and extending to them the offer of the Great Hunt." He let out a sigh after delivering his explanation. He lightly shrugged at the Terran's offer for Leon to return, still scowling at the commander's behavior. "It is your choice Leon, although your marksmanship would be missed during the duration of your absence."

[QUOTE="tims run][Datin]
"There were many casualties. Millions." Datin said. "If this is not considered massacre than I don't know what is." Datin looked at the black mass entity as it spoke of some forces. "We terrans built up a vast empire. And we have much power within this universe. But a united universe, all rallied together will be far stronger."


"I take no sides in this colossal game of yours because I have no idea what your intent is for talking to me. Since you claim me as a pawn." Datin added. "But know this. I do not fight for those who will bring endless suffering for innocent lives. I fight against tyranny and oppression."

The evacuation was nearing halfway completion as there were only small ships such as destroyers and frigates with the occasional cruiser guiding the transports of completely evacuated systems.

[/QUOTE]
The entity released the vessel it was using to speak through, thus causing Alferd Shaw to momentarily collapse to the floor as his eyes returned to their previous state. It wasn't exactly clear why this occurred until the former Terran began to speak. The being was clearly trying to draw more sympathy by allowing Datin to speak with one of his own race. At least formerly.


"Brother, the Beloved Leader does not lie. There is simply a difference in the definition of causalities between us. No residual essence was lost today. He wants to show you..."


In an instant a flood of millions of voices, thoughts, and images flashed through Datin's mind. It lasted only seconds, as to not overload the poor Terran's mind, but it was clear that this was the essence of all the Terran's that ascended on Jachin since the duration of the invasion.


"He also wishes to warn you, Datin, about what you apparently seek. There is not a future that involves a united Universe which does not ultimately end with the fall of the Novin System Federation and all other races and empires stretched across the Universe. Things are never as black and white as you may perceive, Datin," It was clear that Alferd Shaw was still being used to voice everything that the darkness was saying.


"...Lies," The voice was even harder to hear this time. As if another force was attempting to block it out...

Datin could barely make out what was being said. But he felt the faintest feeling if the other beings attempts. The one who attempted to warn him prior to this. Datin stared at Alfred Shaw. "Millions died. And many suffered." Datin said as he recalls the voices that he just witnessed. "But what is different aboutique you and I is that I care for those people. Where as you simply attempt to justify your psychedelic ways and twisted ways." Datin then pointed at the captain. "You killed many. Therefore you are my enemy. Regardless that we were once the same species."


Datin had some sense of relief. He felt the good presense but only faintly. In a way it helped sooth his mind. "One stands up. All will rally before him. It might not be the NSF that rallies this universe. It might be someone else. But this universe will be rallied. And we will be ready to fight to the death." Datin then stared at Alfred directly. "I will never. Ever. Fight for evil. That is not what I stand for."

Most of the galaxy had completed evacuations. It was now the core systems deep within the galaxy that housed Jachin that were being evacuated. Most of the military had also fled leaving only a few hundred destroyers and frigates to oversee and guide the evacuation.

The Captain sent a message directly to Max. "Leader of the human race, we've informed our chancellor and he says that you should take care f your business back on your own planet first before coming to meet him.

Leon began to think. He seemed reluctant to visit his home system. "Anyone who takes care of terrans like their own children have the Chancellor's grace and gratitude. Perhaps we can allow you all to visit the NSF. And as gratitude, we could perhaps allow you to hunt on one of the Chancellor's personal reserves and even purchase better supplies for Leon and yourselves if you wish." The Commander said. After hearing this, Leon began to think again.

After the Lord-Captain's lecture to the admiral, Lord-Captain Kaen stared at the Admiral as he decided to speak once more. "Your so called ideals will never help you when you face an aggressive enemy or worse, a genocidal species. But we mormens are neither.

"They've begun moving to secure the area..." Miela started up, breaking the silence, "I can feel coordinated movement within the mist... That Pravelite, she's turned them against us."


"That's why we should have just interrupted them when they called down that Atmos Arena!" Miela spoke again, arguing with herself, but this voice had Ilum's mixed in it, and Miela's voice seemed to be splitting apart.


"And what good will that do?" Miela's voice was rising, and Lexana could be heard in it now. Here we go again... Tharom sighed. Miela suddenly started glowing a mixture of purple and red, and her body suddenly split in two, spitting out Ilum and Lexana.


"We've been operating so covertly!" the fiery Anima yelled at Lexana, "That's why sometimes, we can't even reach the authorities! Cause they get into their heads before we can even reach them!"


"And if the Arclight Coalition knows that the planet's against them, they'll just dive straight into destroying it!" Lexana replied, her voice seething with freezing breath, "What if they crack the planet on, and we're right under their planetary artillery! We'll get destroyed as well, half the leadership of the renegades would be killed, and we will never be able to stop them!"


"You two, stop it!" Tharom quickly interjected into the argument. Still, it was a surpirse Ilum and Lexana could cooperate for such a long time, "We need to operate quietly, but indeed... I'm getting tired of this." He looked up from the streetways as the fog began to thin out without Miela to support its existence. The leader appeared to be leaving the platform and was taking off somewhere now, "We need to follow them... Let's get to them quickly... Axes!" Tharom's fingers now glowed a neon hue of purple, and the renegades with him started to feel lighter as their weight was reduced by his magic.


"Got you!" Axes suddenly pushed his hands onto the ground, pressing the palms into the stone before he raised them quickly, creating pillars of earth beneath them that propelled them upwards onto the platform, where they would come face to face with Max.

The entity's incorporeal body seemed to display a genuine chuckle as Datin made his supposedly valiant, noble speech. Clearly the Terran's words were seen as nothing more than a joke, and even a bad one at that. The orange glow radiating around the room seemed to peak but it wasn't coming from the Residual Energy Reactor anymore. It was coming from the darkness itself.


In less than a split second Datin was suffocating. Alferd Shaw watched from the corner of the room in complete shock and awe. As the darkness was glowing brighter and brighter it was taking on a more corporeal form. As evident by the fact that the former entity had grabbed Datin by the neck and rose him into the air.


The blue shield that had been around Datin's body tried desperately to stave off the attack but it was ultimately useless. Nothing could stop the entity now that it had been angered.


"I will make this clear, only once," The being's voice was still booming loud and cold but had less of an ancient sounding vibe now that the entity was about halfway completed with taking on an actual humanoid form. "I'm aware that even now the traitor intends to recruit you one by one. However, little vessel, should you choose to follow him then I will stop at nothing to remove you..."


Flashes of the Novin System's Federation's home world being obliterated in one all encompassing blast painfully seized through Datin's mind. Right before his body was thrown like that of a rag-doll against the fleshy walls of the S.R.S. Kramer's insides.


"I will give you ample time child to determine who exactly you will serve as a pawn. Understand that your choices have consequences..." The entity spoke before walking towards the Residual Energy Core that seemed ready to detonate at any second. Just by raising his hand all energy was drained and the core was left lifeless.


Before the being's face fully materialized in one last flash of orange the room was left empty of all but Datin. Even across the desolate Jachin the remaining Impures, and even the corpse of those deceased, seemed to vanish. The lone Terran was left to cope with all that he had observed and heard.

The once pristine, flagstone floors of the cathedral-esq building violently shook as in its very center a being was trying to intensely concentrate. The seals would not hold forever. Yet, the Awakening had taken out too much energy from the individual earlier. A permanent jump wouldn't currently be possible. Yet the being could sense that the Harbinger had already confronted one of the vessels.


It couldn't be put off anymore. The individual would have to confront as many of the vessels as he could before the Harbinger got to anymore of them first. Bright pulses of blue energy radiated off the lone figure before it was gone. It would only be able to stay for mere seconds but that would be long enough. More than long enough.


(Any Awakened character can now choose to have this first encounter. Instead of me choosing I'll decide by whoever so wishes and posts first.)

Max nodded in response to the Terrans, before looking down at Holon below him. Okay, so I'm gonna need to act. The perimeter is locked down, and I only hope they'll respond to a neutral contact request. Max began to walk to his ship as a blinding blue light began to appear. "What the-?!" Just like that, the light was gone, and before him stood a creature, one he... wait... That's the guy that appeared when time went all crazy! Just like before, Max noticed, everyone was frozen in their actions.


"W-who are you?!" Max asked the strange thing before him.

Datin gripped his hands around his neck as he was being lifted in the air. The entity spoke to him and warned him saying that he will be given ample time to decide. Once the entity and everything disappeared, Datin was left inside an empty ship. He immediately ordered for him to be beamed back as his stealth destroyer teleported him back to the ship. Once back he used his communications to contact the NSF HQ. Within the span of half an hour, the entire Jachin sector fleet arrived on the scene along with the two capital ships as the ships began to return to the galaxy.


The capital ship fired off it's magna-laser as it destroyed the docking bay, leaving a crater behind.

"They want to communicate with us - I assume they mean directly." Blizzard spoke neutrally. "Do you want to communicate with them, or shall I?" She, of course, was prepared to subtly alter the transmission if either Reagis or T'venn said anything... inappropriate. She sent another message through to the alien ships, specifying that they accepted the request to directly communicate, and not to panic when a few other ships arrived, and then sent another message to the Diplomatic fleet, ordering a few ships to arrive - and at maximum speed.

Max nodded in response to the Terrans, before looking down at Holon below him. Okay, so I'm gonna need to act. The perimeter is locked down, and I only hope they'll respond to a neutral contact request. Max began to walk to his ship as a blinding blue light began to appear. "What the-?!" Just like that, the light was gone, and before him stood a creature, one he... wait... That's the guy that appeared when time went all crazy! Just like before, Max noticed, everyone was frozen in their actions.
"W-who are you?!" Max asked the strange thing before him.

The scene was a ghostly familiar one for the King of the Interplanetary Federation of Holon that had already been abducted once by this entity. All of the individuals that had been accompanying Max were now turned towards him in surprise towards the sudden appearance of a blinding blue light and figure. This expression of shock and even awe was frozen across all of their faces.


There was a small chuckle by the clearly powerful entity as Maxwell asked his question.


"I've been called so many different names, my friend," the creature's blue eyes were just visible underneath its cloak and they continued to shine brighter as time stayed frozen.

Spoiler

"You, however, may call me by the name I was born with so long ago. Jace Beleren at your service. I'm here to save your Universe," There was a wide grin stretched across the human appearing creature's face as it extended its hand as if waiting for a handshake.


@Assailant

 

[Assailant]

Max looked tentatively at the hand and shook it. On the one hand, he didn't quite trust this creature. On the other hand, he didn't want to get on its bad side. "How do I know I can trust you?" He paused and thought. "I mean, on the one hand you returned me home safe. But on the other hand, you abducted me and did something strange to me. I really am getting mixed signals about all this."

 

[Mist Demon]

"You can trust me because I was in the middle of awakening one of the rarest gifts any being in the Universe can be born with. Before we were rudely interrupted and I didn't get the chance to finish..."


It was clear only now that the handshake wasn't meant as a simple means of greeting. Max would of been unable to remove his hand from the steel like grip as energy seemed to surge up through the human's hand and then throughout his entire body. It was as painful as when each abductee had first been struck by the tendrils made of pure energy. Jace kept Max from crumbling down to the floor entirely for the duration of the process.


"My sincerest apologies, Maxwell correct? It's one of the only ways to force the power to awaken. Unless of course you'd rather prefer having a near death experience or all encompassing emotional breakdown..."


Jace allowed his voice to trail off as he let go of the human's hand.


"When you make your first jump it's going to be accidental. You'll be disorientated, shocked, surprised, and it's only going to last a couple of seconds. Just don't panic or freak out. You'll only learn to control the power the more times you use it."

Sending a message back, Blizzard responded positively to opening diplomatic communications, and to further contact, diplomatically ignoring the mention of the size of their ships - the Synthesis Coalition had scanners too. And no need to let them know of their weaponry, or capabilities.


A few moments later, several ships appeared in a veil of bright blue light, surrounding Sanctum, with several landing inside it as it's huge hangar doors slid open silently.

"Captain, the fleet that the aliens stated would arrive have just come out of their warp." One of the crew members said. "General. I ask that you take three more generals and a couple infantry to a drop shuttle." The Captain informed through his Multi-tool. Not long after, a drop shuttle was deployed from one of the mega-ships as it sped towards the fleet.


Send another message to the aliens that we have sent a drop shuttle carrying 4 generals. The Captain said as the communications officer nodded a he sent the message to the alien fleet and awaited a response.

The battleship had completed repairs as it retracted it's docking tube. The battleship then proceeded to reverse from the station until stopping. In the bridge, the captain was given all the all clear from the engineering crew before authorizing the ship to begin extracting dark energy to fill up the cells of the reactor. While this was happening, the battleship also sent out a message to the NSF, giving a report of their completed repairs and their next steps befor ereturning back to the NSF.

[NSF]


From the fringes of the alien system, a rupture in space appeared as a massive ship the size of 3 Jupiter put side by side appeared from the space rupture. The Mega-ship powered it's engines slowly as it made slow moves towards the system's outer fringes before stopping completely again. The Mega-ship which dwarfed the planets within the system from it's sheer size stood out. The NSF mega-ship was tasked with long-range reconnaissance. The ship's captain ordered for scans of the system to get the basic intel of this new alien system for future reference. For now, the colossal ship remains idle.

"You're testing my patience yet again admiral. You seem to have a bad habit of keeping your guests waiting too long." Lord-Captain Kaen said to the elvish looking Admiral.
