An Impalpable Vengeance: A Solution's Cure. (part one.)
On board the ASX49.
Slowly the airlock doors shut behind Gemme, her feet had a nice covering of mud from the fields they were landed in, at the outskits of the city. Gemme looked down at her now mud covered boots, and with a quick shake of her feet managed to know and spatter some of it off her boots, and onto the nearby walls.
"Oppies, humbugs.. Coms I got yet more mud outside the Airlock again, tell me we can shortly get to somewhere a little less muddy." Gemme called out as she started down the hallway towards the door at it's end.
"Miss Gemme, do not worry, the walls there have the anti stick solution cover on the lower wall parts." Coms voice rang out down the hallway following Gemme as she walked to the Lab 2a.
"Also the fuel cells given by the Hero codenamed Golden Vespa will be fitted shortly in, they will give us enough power to gain flight and get to the dock area here in the city." Coms Voice said as Gemme entered the door.
"Dock area.. here? OH! it's ready.. Excellent!" Gemme glance about before spotting the finished Cube delivery device.
"Indeed it is Gem, thanks to a little help from the team and the scrap bits from repairs." Sean's voice sounded from the pod.
The device itself looked like a meduim sized cross shape in 3D, each arm had a dfferent element in it, held away from the cube by a small panel of metal, blocking it from making contact with the cube till such time as it was needed.
"Coms, Are we ready?" Asked Gemme peering into the device then glancing to the monitor screen beside it.
"Ready, Delivery system is standing by, all Elements are ready to be dropped on, at the exact same time frame." Coms voice called as it's wire frame head appeared on the monitor screen.
"Right, Let's do it.. active the system and cross your fingers." Gemme Said looking at the device quickly.
"Of Course Miss Gemme, activing now." Coms voice said as the device suddenly started up fully.
Suddenly the metal panel door slid open at once, allowing the different elements to hit their sides, The cube seem to vibrate and shift, each panel of it glowed briefly before the small parts that made up it's surface started to move and reconfigure. Out from the cube's bottom dropped three items, A clear Crystal, a key with a tab tied onto it, and lastly a vial of slowly changing colour.
The cube itself changed completely in shape, become a sort of 3D stick with points spreading out from both ends pointing downwards. Gemme blinked then spotted the bits on the floor.
"What on Earth.. Coms.. can you move the device out the way.. theres something under it now.. looked like they dropped out from it." Gemme said reaching for the three items.
"Gem.. What is it? I can't see remember." Sean's voice called out from the pod.
"Sean.. there's a crystal.. kinda clear like and.. strange looking, and theres a key.. with a note on it, and this vail of well.. something." Gemme Said wipping each item over with her hand as she said them.
"Right.. what about the cube?" Sean called out again.
"Thats.. well different.. looks like.. the slot on the machine." Gemme said leaning back up and stareing at it.
"Right.. Coms.. how long till we can start up the machine?" Sean's voice called out again.
"Ten hours, appox.. given the time to install the fuel cells and arrive at the dock area." Coms voice rang out, somewhat more happy than before.
"Right.. Gem.. I would get some rest.. Coms.. scan the bits and inform me of what they truely are.. and get us ready for full power to the machine." Sean called out, taking contorl and ordering as he once did.
"But.. I.. Fine," Gemme said before turning about on the spot holding the key out so she could read it.
It's tag merely said Solution's Cure. Which she place along with the other items on the work table next to the delivery device.
"I'll get some sleep.. I mean it's not like I can walk all the way back to town now.. it's far too late.. and I could do with a bath." Gemme Said before leaving the room. -
Ok, after reading this post fully and looking at every side possible, I say: Everything is possible, and happens after all it is not up to others to tell one person want character they should make/play in tis game.
I for one have nearly all of my characters which are made sololy by my own mind, with their own backstories, history, and such on.
As far as I know There is no other Characters or people, or film characters which are:
Drade: Grand-master Hunter, and Sealer from the Hunters guild.
Sha'dower: Inventor and Millionaire of his own company, also happends to be able to control Shadows, in essence a Living Shadow.
Battle-Master: An armour suit from the future, the A.I Unit who was sent back to help solve the problem (due to plot porblem will not be said). Has the researcher Andrew Vector inside of it, can became a armband computer device.
VGX-3 Enforcer: A Robotic Armor Suit, Ranged Support unit for heroes, built by G.R.A.T.A.R.U. Really reason for it's behaviour is unknown.
They are my present main characters, I have more but thats no the point of what I am saying here, now can any of you tell me if these are seen anywhere else apart from ingame or done otherwise by other players. -
An Impalpable Vengeance: A Puzzling Key.
Gemme paced up and down, as on the worktable next to her sat the now multi-coloured puzzle cube left by Terry, the final piece of the puzzle that was his machine. She couldn't understand how he had made such a device, let alone been able himself to solve it, after all it had taken the combine speed of one of the local heroes of Paragon city, his unwillness to stop to solve the secound level of the cube.
"Terry, what is this damn cube.. it doesn't make sense, you would never of been able to solve it." Gemme Muttered as she paced.
The screen behind the table seem to flash up with the complex coding of the what the colours mean, she glanced to it and sighed.
"Right.. that means about as much as rikti battle plans to me, Coms, care to make it something I can understand?" Gemme said has the coding lines changed into the format of the cube.
"There Miss Gemme, that is as simple as I can make it, of course it still doesn't make logical sense to me, considering Proffesser Oxley, wasn't known for this work." Coms voice called out from the speakers.
"I know, still he has to of done this for a reason.." Gemme said before Seans voice cut over the speakers.
"Gem, remember what Terry said, the most common answer isn't the right one. Thats the clue to solving it."
Gemme plaused for a moment then slammed her hands out and stared at the puzzle cube. It's sides each coloured different, one side Red, another Blue then Green was one, the last were Grey, Yellow, and Black.
"Gah, why couldn't he of been more simple.. how on earth are we meant to solve something that doesn't have a common answer!" Gemme angery said turning away from the cube.
"Gem, your face has gone bright red, just like the fire in your eyes." Sean's voice said as she stared at his pod, "What im just saying."
"Firey Red am I huh? I'll show you firey re.. wait.. red.. fire.." Gemme shouted before a look of shock crossed her face.
"Miss Gemme, fire is red yes, does that mean the colour cube is meaning the colours match to a common element use of the colour they normally are?" Coms Voice cut over the Speakers as Gemme span around to look at the cube again.
"I think your right.. Red is Fire, Blue is.. Water, Green must be Earth, Grey is.. air?" Gemme looked over the cube has she spoke, counting off the colours as she said them.
"So thats means Yellow is light, and Black is darkness, or shadow.. which would make sense i guess, something i would of tried at one point." Sean's voice said.
"Right, so the Cube is couloured with the elements.. well thats makes it easyer.. I guess.. now I just got to hit each one with the element of it's colour and boom, puzzle solved at last." Gemme said picking up the cube and slipping it into a backpack, before stepping towards the door of the room.
"Well, if that doesn't work.. just give us a call yea?" Sean's voice said as she left the room, with a quick glancing wave from her free hand. -
I might need help to make that Arc, since most of it I have writen down or in Chat log.. the rest is lost somewhere in time and cyberspace.

An Impalpable Veneance: United We stand. (part 2)
Slowly the med center machine scanned over Gemme, checking the wounds were healing, helping them along more as it did.
"Miss G Greys, im happy to tell you the wound are almost fully healed up, and there is no sign of any remainning marks or scars." Said the doctor as he walked over to the medi machine control panel.
"Excellent, does that mean no more darn band aids on me?" Gemme Asked stepping out from the machine.
"Yes, Of course you may wish to get yourself some more protective outfit next time, Rikti aren't the most easy on bare skin." He said coming over to her and taking off the bandages.
"Yeah, well I guess my boss never thought to spend out of protective outfits for me sincethey didn't use to hurt him." Gemme smirked as she rotated her left arm before rubbing down where the bandages had come off from.
"Well, Isn't he the great Sean O'brain, founder of O'braintech Industries?" The Doctor asked looking at Gemme.
"Oh Yes, but he kinda did know i was heading into this side of the job, it's a long story.." Gemme said flicking her hair up and tieing it back into her normal ponytail.
"Well, not my place to complain, but please try to look after yourself better, it's hard enough to heal heroes without them not helping themselves." The doctor said walking away.
"Sure thing Doc, O'BrainTech will settle the bill if you send them it." Gemme said doing a mock salute and a wink before walking off.
OnBoard the ASX49
The light from the teleporter died down again as Gemme stepped off the pad. Glancing about at the minor damage to the room from the Shadow battle, a few of the wall panels were missing, the bare wires and circuit boards behind clearly in sight.
"Gee, repairs are still taking their time I see." Gemme muttered as she walked out of the room, alomng the hallway towards where Lab 2a was, the room which had Sean's pod.
Along the way yet more wall panels and celling panels were missing, wires hung down from them, sparks every so often sprayed out as one of the team members tried to fixed it. The Place was a mess, Shadow had done his damage and more even with the repais they knew it would never be like before, after all they had only just done a fully rebuild on it a few months before the battle, and now the ASx49 was on soild ground again, hidden on the outskits of Paragon, it's remainning power was being used to keep it from falling apart, and to keep the computers running while they repaired it as best they could for a trip back to England.
"COMs, Status report on repairs please." Gemme shouted as she entered the Lab 2a door, it self almost falling from it's sliding rails.
"Miss Gemme, Repair status is still slowly, most systems are running but flight mode and stealth are still offline, tranporters are only wokring at half normal range, scanners are working at 200 yards range." Coms voice rang out from the rooms speakers.
"So we adding another 50 ards to the scanner range.. hmm.. I guess thats better than being blind." Gemme muttered as she walked over to Sean's Pod.
"Hey Gem, im still here, and well.. nothing new.. guess repairs are taking up time instead of the machine work." Seans Voice came from the Pod.
"Yea, but at least we were almost there, just that cube to solve now.. which i still don't understand why we have to solve it." gemm said looking into the small window of the pod, but due to the light not working, unable to see anything inside.
"Terry made it, was part of the machine.. has to be important.. like a puzzle key, it's on switch." Sean said as teh cube was barely lit up by the worktable light.
"True but still i wonder how.. we have tried almost everything we can think of... and nothing." gemme said peering at the cube.
"Maybe the guys and gals at the statue can help us, it's not like it's going to be a trap or anything." Sean said as the field around the cube lowered down enough for Gemme to grab hold of it.
"Right ask Red.. or maybe erm.. oh I'll ask around.. someone must have the answer for it." Gemme said tucking the cube under her arm.
"COMS. power up the transporter, Im heading back into Paragon, see if i can find someone to help me with this cube." -
hmm... I might do one for Drade's epic story, The master Gateway, that would be alot of work however..
-
(( I would like to thank all those who came yesterday(23rd of April 08) for the Shadow battle showdown. I hope everyone enjoyed it and I spent most of the evening at it attempting to keep up with so many attack emotes at once, so sorry if I missed out anyone at some points, but as you may guess it's not easy to type and think and reply to about six or so people attacking me at once.
Also, I am still at this moment writing up the last two bit of the IC story which ends this plotline, So just wait a little longer to see the final chapter of this one tale.. and maybe the start of a new one))

An Impalpable Vegeance: United we stand. (part 1)
The room quickly filled with the light of the transpoter beam, on to the bed appeared Gemme, her clothes covered in her own blood, her wounds healed somewhat by the heroes at the statue. Around her was the O'BrainTech team, many of which had taken first aid and medical trainning for just such an event. Busily they worked away, bandaging and wraping her remainning wounds, minor compared to those that the people, the heroes, who had rushed to her aid.
"Miss Gemme, appears stable now Sean." Coms Voice sounded over the internal speakers.
"Good, great COMS, now tell me how the hell we lost the track lock on her?" Seans Voice came from his Machine pod.
"Well, sir.. the energy wave caused by the mass portaling of the rikti forces overloaded the local area with radiation, I was unable to to maintain the lock through it." COMS voice sounded again this time however only in the two rooms where Sean and Gemme were.
"Fine.. well we better get that upgraded aswell then.. gee they make more work for us.. each and everytime." Sean said before a low sigh from Coms electronic voice.
Slowly Gemme's eyes flickered and moved, as she went to left her right arm.
"You two mind keeping it down.. gee wiz i got a hell of a headache now." Gemme mumbled as she awoke.
"Miss Gemme, we I ermm.. Glad to see your awake now." Coms voice sounded again, much more quiet than before.
"Yea.. thank my lucky stars.. didn't know they could hit that damn hard.. and.. ow.. blades." Gemme said wincing as she pulled herself up in the bed.
"Gem.. you know you really should have a rest.. and try not to move.. give the team sometime to heal you." Sean's voice rang out over her Rooms speaker.
"..ow..Yea.. well you know me Sean.. never say never and all.. you could at least of warned me a little better Coms.. that was a two secounds warnings per blow... im not that fast you know." Gemme said rubbing her head then reaching over for the glass of water sitting next to her on the bed table.
"Miss Gemme, i can warn you only as fast as i can comput the data.." COMS Voice called out again.
"Yea.. for a super computer you sure are slow on the computting these days.. i think i need to get some of your other actives out of you again." Gemme said putting the glass back onto the table and leaning her head back against the wall.
"Gem.. maybe you should sit out the Shadow battle.. and heal up more.. you won't be much help if your wounded now will you." Seans voice said before cutting off.
"Yea.. like im going to do that Sean.. nice try.. Shadow as this coming." Gemme spoke as she lifted her hand off the cut off button for the internal communications speakers. -
Input is welcome, which is why i put this post up.
Questions and Answers welcome. -
right so we are going for Wednesday evening now, ok now 7pm start or 8 pm start people?
My bet is more on 8 pm being as it gives a little time for me to eat before hand. -
Thats fine, given the limited responses to this, Im thinking along the lines 4pm ish, given the TF2 Red hats Event at 7pm which no doubt people want to go to.
Either that or we do this one evening this week at about 7pm as RC mentioned last night in GGOOC. -
Right, heres the infomation from the Meeting held by Gemme Greys onboard the ASX49, the main points:
1) Sean no longer needs Shadow to become back human, due to Shadow becoming it's own "person".
2) Plans were made. (due to a computer error my logs weren't recorded, as such i have noway to go back and check them for them.. if someone wishes to fill in the gaps please do!)
3) Plan A was of using devices built by O'BrainTech called "Light Nukes" (LN's) which had the same brightness of a small solar flare, or in compared to 2000 flashbangs going off at once. Three such devices are ready, as explained all three would be enough to "destory" Shadow as along as he was in the 500 foot blast area. Googles to protect eyes were given out many were given back again, Longbow has been informed as has the city hall of the use of these weapons, (not mentioned in the meeting due to time and the fact i lost where we were, too many talking at once.)
4) The ASX49 will be running support during the battle, flown by COMS the O'BrainTech A.I. with the powerful "NightSun" spotlights. COMS will also be responsible for placing and arming the LN's in the combat Zone.
5) Combat Zone is: BoomTown. Pick because of the low pop. and futher assistance from Golden Vespa's Ship there.
6) The battle is set of the daytime, when hopefully Shadow should be at his weakest. Sean asked if they could do this ASAP the day of Sunday was chosen.
Right now i need to know what times on Sunday people are prepared to do this little RP battle. I will be Playing as Sha'dower for the battle, since the two characters (Gemme Grey and Sha'dower) are on the same account, so they can't be online at the same time, also it would take me too long to level Gemme up high enough for Boomtown.
During the Battle i will be Playing Three parts them being Gemme Greys, Shadow, and Coms. So please remember that any actions may take me a short time to reply to if im doing one of the other characters bit/ speach.
I am Free all day sunday, i know some people did menion OOCly that it was a school night which is why i thought of During the daytime, which fits in well with what they should do to battle him, now it's up to everyone else to let me know when. -
Indeed, and with Master Dark now running the Hunters Guild wing in Paragon city, a new brand of heroes will come. The Group I am hopeing to get restarted and fully up to sped, with plots, story arcs, background info maybe even sister groups.. if it gets to that stage..
Now of Course i have to go find all the work and post on here i put up and put it onto the Handbook.. but such is life. -
Has the Mario kart, and trying to get Forse (my RL Twin Bro) to let me play it more as the Wii is his, but hopefully a nice money bid might let me play it more
-
(( All of the weapons in this post are of my very own making, as such most are held by one of my characters or somewhere ingmae hidden away.))
The Shadow Blade
Legandary Sword of Drade's, made long ago in the past when the First Realm war raged, part of the set of Swords made as part of a pact to help solve the war. This one was made by those from the Shadow Realm, as a way to bring peace between the Shadow realm and the Hub Realm, which is also known as Human Realm (Earth). It's whole blade is pure black, and is said to only be weild by those who have full self control, the hilt of the sword is simple and covered in Runic writing. The Swords holder is also covered in Runic, it appears this tells of the final battle of the Sealers, those of which the blade was made for.
This is also a part of the Legandary Blade known as the Sword of Destiny.
Held by: Drade, of The Hunters Guild.(missing)
The Shinning Blade
This Blade is said to be the sister sword of the Shadow Blade, and is complete oppersite, it's blade is said to shine of that of the purest beam of light known. It's Blade appears to be Silver, with Runic writing running along is surface, it's hilt is golden with more runic writing. No holder as yet to be seen for it. Said to of been made at the same time as the Shadow Blade, and weild be the once Great Sealer Mittelthuleaus,also known by another name Dei'testin, but now was held by the late Drade, of The Hunters Guild. Made by those of the Light Realm as a symbol of friendship and pact of Peace with the Human Realm.
Secound part of the Legandary The Sword of Destiny.
Held by: Drade, of Hunters Guild (missing)
The Sword of Destiny
Little is known of this Sword, part from what has been writen down in books, Said to belong to the Great Sealer Mittelthuleaus, and said to have the power to ripple the very air around it, and only hurt thoses who time has come. It's wounds are legandary and said to instantly destory any who are of evil, yet this is not known if true.
Not seen by many as such noone can say what it truely looks like apart from the rumours that it is a twin bladed sword with mystic energy flowing freely from between the blades.
Held by: Unknown. -
An Impalpable Vengeance: Last Resort.
Slowly the Door opened to the Lab 2, where now Sean and the machine, along with the team of O'BrainTech Ind. Enginers were, Gemme stood in the door way, stareing in.
"Ah, Gem.. perfect timing, ok guys thats enough for now, go take a break.." Sean's voice called out from his device.
"Sure thing Mr O'Brain." most of the team said as they put down the tools and sheets they were holdingand left the room via the secound door.
"You wanted to speak to me Sean?" Gemme asked as she walked in, upto his device on the worktable.
"Yea.. it's about this whole Shadow thing, I know it's not exactly like what we were used to back in the days.." Sean said from the device, as the monitor screen behind his device slowly flickered on.
"Yea, well you make it sound like it was years and years ago that, it wasn't more than a few years." Gemme said looking down at the device, a small crack ran down it's outer shell, from the impact Shadow had done to it.
"Yea well still it feels like longer, anyway.. thats not why I asked for you to come back on board." Sean's voice called out.
"Oh? then what?" Gemme asked looking to the monitor screen quickly, before glancing back down to the device.
"Well Remember some time ago, the lab back at the main building, Lab 47a.." Sean said from the device.
"Yea.. the sealed lab, after the little mishap right?" Gemme asked looking to the monitor again, as it flicked up to the symbol of the O'Braintech symbol.
"Well Gem, the person who used that lab was Larry Burns, he was brillent with the whole area on light and laser technology, are main person for it at the time, but of course he wasn't perfect.. he kinda did some of his own projects there.. working mostly on the laser weapons." Seans voice said as Larry's picture file flicked onto the monitor.
"Yea, he was the one who disappeared in the lab mishap, the same one which cost you part of the upper right leg." Gemme said tapping her chin, as Sean once did as he thought of his great ideas.
"Yes, thats him.. the reason why i had to use the stick." Sean said before continuing on "Well this was one of his unfinished projects.. something i had asked him to make, in case something like this happend."
The Screen flickered up with an image of what looked like a bomb, or more like a warhead.
"Whats that?" Asked Gemme peering nearer at the screen.
"A Light nuke, to put it simple." Sean voice had changed somewhat, more serious like.
"Wait.. a light nuke.. but that what.." Gemme said, but Sean quickly cut her off.
"Yea, would kill me, well at least three would.. they would brighten up an area of appox ohh.. nine hundred feet square, for about five secounds at the same brightness of a solar flare, of course.. thats what they were meant to do, if everything still works with them." Sean said cutting off Gemme as the image changed to an almost live image of three such devices in what appeared to be the main cargo hold of the ASX49.
Gemme's face suddenly sunk, as a look of shock spread across it, She knew Sean wasn't lieing to her, these things were there, built ready, made for one perpose, to destory him, or someone like him.
"Sean.. but i thought we didn't make weapons!" Geeme said out of shock horror.
"We don't, normally, because of that mishap in the Lab 47a." Seans voice came from the device.
"Then why on earth have we got these!" Gemme said spinning around to look at the device.
"As a Last resort.. if my powers had done something which is like this, became uncontrolable.. self aware." Sean said, the device seems to shake a little with each word.
"Sean.. why didn't you tell me before now.. why hide this!?" Gemme asked picking up the device and looking to it's camera eye.
"Because I knew it would hurt you, and i never intended to use them." Sean said, with a sorrow filled voice.
"Then why have them built?" Asked Gemme still stareing into the Camare eye.
"As a last resort, they are possibly the alone thing that could stop Shadow truely." Sean said as the camera eye seem to blink.
"But i thought we needed it, to restore you?" Gemme said, her own voice now filled with the scareness that she had felt when first finding Sean in this shadow like state.
"Gem, i had COMS read out the scan results, Shadow and me aren't connected anymore, i feel stronger now, better than i have for a while." Seans voice called out, as a crack on the device's outer sheel seem to widen a little.
"But Sean, if that's true.. then why did you ask me to find it?" Gemme asked putting down the device and stareing at the Crack.
"Simple, i didn't know till i had the results, i feel purer.. if thats even possible, like some darkness in me has gone.. maybe that's was Shadow truely is.. nothing more than a darkness from within me.. something i was cursed with long ago.. with i have at last got rid of." Sean's voice said as a small bit of Light grey smoke like gas came out from the crack.
"Then this now is now nothing more than go and put an end to Shadow, with the Light nukes, and Red and Co. help." Gemme said standing up straight.
"Right, just remember.. take the granades and the goggles with you.. i would hate for anyone to end up blink or worst from these devices." Sean said as the said items appeared on the monitor screen, along with where they were onboard.
"Right, sure thing.. Watch out Shadow.. your time has come.. and intend on making you pay." Gemme said as she walked out of the room, with the door closing behind her.
On the Screen however displayed the ASX49 blueprints and the words "High energy solar storm beam lights" with little lines pointing at the extended arms from the Airships main hull. -
Right, im guessing then i wouldn't be able to add the "Shadow Blade" or "The Shinning Blade" (which together formed "The Blade of Destiny") since they were made pure my me to going along with my character Drade, as he is the one who uses them.

An Impalpable Vengence: Morphing.
Slowly Shadow appeared out from the dark black portal it had used to escape from the group of Heroes at the Galaxy Girl statue moments before, it's mist form slowly took back on the form in had newly come by, it's humaniod form.
The black and mist of it's deamonic wings on it's back and the spikes of it's shoulders formed out, becoming more and more soild, slowly he looked up ahead, at the roof top vents nearby.
"I have power, I have form, I have the will." Shadow snarled from under the mask that had formed out of him.
"and i even have the power of fear.. they will soon know i can rule this world of light, the light walkers will fear me."
As he spoke, he rasied up is hand and focused in on the shadows of the vents, as he did they morphed and twisted as his will imprinted on them, pulling them over to him.
"And everything has a shadow, that I alone will command." He snarled as the shadows formed up into a pair of dark tentacles, which seems to bow to him.
"good, they already know their master." With those words he turned about and wlaked back towards the edge of the roof top, followed by the two tentacles.
Meanwhile, on the ASX49...
Geem studied the last readings she had got herself from a minor incounter with shadow, but they didn't show her much as she walked down the Hallway towards the room where Sean was.
As the door sid open to the room, a look of shock horror passed over her face, the room was in a comptele mess, and the main monitors were smashed to bits. Seans ruby device in which he was, was nowhere to be seen.
"Sean! What the hell has happend in here.. i thought it was a minor alarm!" She yeeled as Coms clam electronic voice sounded over the hallway speakers.
"Miss Grey, everything is fine, i have clean it up somewhat.... and yet to locate Seans pod."
"What! wait.. your telling me it's in this mess somewhere?" Gemme asked starting to dig her way into the room.
"Yes, but i have got a minor lock on the energy output of the device.. this on your left.. somewhere." COMS voice sounded again.
"Well.. you two might want to look under the create and to the left of the circuit borads.. sinces that's what i can see..just." Seans voice sounded out from the pile of now destoryed worktable and monitor bits.
"Sean.. Thank goodness your still there, right im going to try digging you out.. at least try to.. i think we need to move the ship and the equipment.. in case Shadow returns.."Gemme said moving a large screen which was badly spit in two from the pile.
Suddenly a faint beep comes from the pile, then seem to buzz and cut off.
"Oh.. damn, Gem.. he broke the communications linkup here.. at least i think thats the thing i can see blinking off and on." Sean's voice calls out.
"Great.. at least i have a spare in the other cargo hold.. and a few more on the way with the team i asked for." Gemme said as she lifts and throws to aside more of the pile.
"Miss Gemme, the Team are about to land at Paragon airfield, wish me to take the ASX49 to the airfield?" COMS voice comes from the speakers again.
"Please and tell them to be ready for clean up and turn on every damn light there is on this ship.. i want no more vists from Shadows thank you." Gemme Says as she continues to dig into the room's mess of piles. -
An Impalpable Vengeance: Shadow's Vengeance.
Slolwy the building's Shadow morphed and changed, as the now seperate energy of Sean took it under it's control, twisting it to it's own will, Morphing with it into a larger more darker form, the mist of shadows, something Sean used to move around with, used to change his form with, but now, Shadow used it.. for it's own vengeance.
Suddenly a pure black tentacle burst out from the mist and wraped itself around a nearby car, crushing it in two.
"yeess.. it's will do.. i have power.. more power.." Was all it said as the tentacle dropped to the ground.
Slowly the black mist form of Shadow moved off, leaving a trail of destoryed cars and bent lamp posts, each time it aborbed the items shadow before wrecking it.
Meanwhile, on the ASX49.
Gemme paced up and down looking at the monitor screen, wondering where the mist had gone, she had lost it in Atlas city area after a group of clockwork had blasted her with their electrical energy.
"Darn it, i wish you could scan quicker Coms, who knows what that thing will do." Gemme said as she stop walking, and lent on the keyboard for the monitor.
"Sorry Miss Gemme, but the scanners are working at full power, there is quite a large area to scan form here, would help if there was more aiding the scan." COMS voice came out from the Speakers.
"Yea Gem, don't blame the tools, it's the shadows fault.. and the clockwork bots." Said Sean's voice after COMS.
"Yes well if it wasn't for the fact it was lose i wouldn't have to track it down, and how was i meant to know those robotic things would blast me, in the first place." Gemme said drumming her fingers on the keybroad.
Suddenly the room stook, as a large black swirling portal appeared on the celling then without warning a bench flew out of narrowly missing Gemme, and crashing to the floor.
"What the hell.. hey you mind!" Shouted Gemme as she jumped out of the way.
"I didn't do it, i swear.." Sean said from the device, sitting on the worktable across the room.
"I didn't say it was you.. that thing must of learnt how to open portals.. great now it's trying to kill me.. this is just great." Gemme Said dusting herself off and kicking the bench bits out of her way.
"well.. i guess it doesn't like you Gem, which means it's Shadow for sure." Sean voice said again from the device.
Behind them the secound monitor screen flashed up with the words "Inbound signal, call sign, Red Commissar." as the button flashed to show she could reply.
"Great, your friend Red is calling, I wonder what he wants." Gemme said pressing the button which was flashing, not noticing the swirling black portal had disappeared again. "Yes, go Ahead Red." -
An Impalpable Vengeance: Darkness Raising. (part 2)
Gemme blinked at the device which held Sean, it had been a good ten minutes since he last spoke, which wasn't like him, She waited stareing at it, just to hear his voice again to know everything was going to be ok.
"Sean.. come on, don't scare me like this.. god damn answer me now!" Gemme said looking up at the monitor screen behind the device, it showed his energy was still there in the device, yet weaker than it was before.
Slowly the radio crackled as the static came over it's speaker "Gemm..e sor..ry so.. Tired.." Sean voice bearly came out over it.
"Sean, come on.. don't trick me, i know your fine.. you.. you.. always are." Gemme said, her face filled with sorrow and unable to think of what to do.
"Gem, it's.. gone.. shadow.. it's lose.. find.. it." Sean voice said, as it seemed to grow in strength once more.
"Shadow.. out.. what are you going on about?" Gemme asked grabbing hold of the device. "not you even think of leaving me, Sean, don't you leave me alone."
A single tear ran down her face, as she held onto the device, her normal deadly strict face, with it's half smile was replaced with a scared look.
"Gem, you must.. stop it.. find it.. before it's.. to late." Sean said again, as he voice seem more calm, and more like it was before he had became a shadow.
"Sean, i don't understand.. how could it get out.. it's you isn't it?" Gemme asked putting the device down again.
"yes, but it's like my other side, my alter ego.. where my power comes from.. the darkness witin." Sean said as Coms voice suddenly came over the comlink speakers.
"Miss Gemme, Sean did inform me of such an thing, i have records of it in the main database, wich me to bring them up for you?"
"Coms, oh.. yea thanks, also.. any lucky with maybe an upgrade for the device.. or someone who can help me with this mess." Gemme asked as she wiped the tears away, then straighten herself up.
"Yes, and yes.. and a few names, mostly they are from the hunters guild, but there is a few heroes in the city we are hovering over that have been known to know such things." Coms said over the internal speakers.
"Right give me a list, and i'll see what i can do.. anything that will help me find it?" Gemme asked going over to the coat stand and swapping her lab coat for the Dark Red leather jacket.
"Of course, i'll power the tranporter system, and have the GPS multi scanner there ready for you, it should have the range for Seans shadow energy." Coms voice spoke again over the speakers.
"Thanks coms, big help.. right Sean stay there.. and try not to be too much trouble.. remember your not quite there ok." Gemme winked as she left the room.
"oh yeah.. like im going anywhere Gem.. like i have a choice." Sean said, as she lefted. "Coms mind showing me the sheets.. i'll try to keep working on it while shes gone.. you be the arms, and i'll be the brains."
Gemme ran down the hallway back to the teleporter room, on her way she grabbed the device which would help her track down Shadow, even if she didn't full know what it was, or how it had got lose in the first place. -

Now to continue on)
An Impalpable Vengeance: Darkness Raising. (part 1)
Slowly Gemme appear on the teleporter pad, carrying the ruby shape device which held what was left of Sean, his own powers had finaaly taken over forcing him into a permement shadow form, his last bits of him fadeing away into nothing.
Gemme walked quickly off the pad and down to the door. "Coms, i need you to scan this device and see if theres a way to rig up a better power source to it, anything better than what it has now." Gemme said as the doors to the room opened letting her out into the hallway outside it.
"Of course miss Gemme, scanning, standby." COMS voice came over the internal comlines of the airship.
"Also, call H.Q. tell them i need a team of the best sent over here to paragon, i not going to be able to finish the machine without some help.. and Sean isn't in the helping state now." Gemme said as the hurried down the hallway and into the room labled 'Lab 2-Cargo 1'.
Inside the room lay spread out on the floor was the many boxes and parts of the machine, aswell as most of the sheets Gemme had found on it. She quickly sat the device down on the worktable, the light green beam of the scanner spread across it as COMS worked, the screen behind it showed the results, then the internal workings of the device.
"This device has been put together most quickly, i am unsure if it can work for more than a three week period, at most." COMS voice sounded out from the speakers at the screen.
"Well thats not good, i need you to try your best to extend that time limit, even if you have to built the damn device again, better this time COMS, it's why you have control over the mech arms in the lab now." Gemme said as she slipped off her Dark Red leather coat and put on the lab coat from the stand next to her, flicking up her hair as she did. "now, i got work to do.. where is sheet four got to.."
COMS normal static came over the speaker, as it did just before it went to talk, but then stopped as it's suddenly knew Gemme hadn't of asked it to tell her, instead it set about twisting the handle on the device with the machanical arms that unfolded down from the celling panels of the room.
Sean voice suddenly came out from the radio attached to the device "and pop goes the wea.. oh wait.. Gemme would kick me won't she?"
Gemme quickly glanced over her shoulder giving the device and Sean's Voice and evil look before going back to the sheets she was looking at.
"Huh, guess that means yes then, well Coms anychance of maybe going a little bit faster, and see if theres a way to rig the radio the doc hooked up to the main comlines, should be possible if you bypass the secoundary system and put the mic to the output of the radio.. with a small gap." Sean voice called out again, as the mechanical arms sped up a bit.
"Of Course Sean, anything else you can tell me on how to upgrade the device, as you wish it too?" Coms Voice came out from the speakers quickly, somewhat more happy than it did to Gemme.
"ermm.. not yet, but i'll see what i can think of, oh Gemme it's on your left.. under the box with the partical relays and central processor boards in it." Sean siad as the Camera on the device's front flickered.
"gah, thank you.. wait you sound.. more, normal now." Gemme said pulling out the sheet of paper from under the box on her left.
"Me normal? Gemme when will you ever learn.. im never normal.. im me.." Sean said from the device, his words slowly breaking up, then just coming to a stop.
"Sean, you.. SEAN!" Gemme turning around, looking at the device, which now was slient.
Sean called out but something was different, something wasn't right there was no reply, nothing but a small whisper, a voice sounding a far off in the distance, calling out his name, calling out for Sha'dower.
"Hello, whoes there?"
"I am, I am you."
"whoes you?"
"I be you, I am shadow."
"Shadow?"
"yes, shadow.. power, your power."
"impossible, my powers can't talk, they are just shadow."
"i am you, i am Shadow"
"Wait, shadow.. your.. my alter ego?"
"yess.. i am Shadow, i will be free."
""but you can't be, that part of me was destoryed, it's gone, and you can't be free.. we are the one person."
"No, i am here.. always, and now i can leave, go out, have my revenge on them."
"wait, Shadow.. Vengeance? on who?"
"on those who tried to rid me, on those of the light, those who claim the world now."
"but, thats not fair.. why?"
"because i can, Darkness shall come again, the world we be mine once again, rule with fear, rule with power, rule for all of time."
"Shadow, you can't.. they will stop you listen to me, your nothing but an echo in the darkness."
"i have your power, you gave me life, now i can come back, taken back, rule."
"Shadow, you mustn't they are my friends, the ones i care for.. you will be stopped."
"they can try, they will be no more, darkness is coming, i go now"
"Shadow! Wait! They will stop you, and if they don't I will!"
Nothing replyed, the darkness was slient again, yet Sean seemed weaker, less able to keep thinking, something was gone, Shadow was gone. -
Gemme Greys sat on her all to familar bunk, inside the ASX49, Sean aka Sha'dower, Stealth Airship which was now hovering somewhere over the streets of Paragon, her Dark red leather outfit was all the colour the room had now, everything else was grey or black, Even the night sky outside felt darker than normal. She sat there stareing out the small window, thinking out loud to herself what she had thought all along.
"Sean's an idoitic fool, he's just always like this, why is that?" she asked herself.
"hmm.. well i guess he alway has been.. hasn't he?" She asked again looking away from the window to the grey wall beside her. "Wasn't he? i mean i know him, i've known him for years, since we were both young.. yet still this, this new him, this idoitic fool, seems to be someone else."
She slowly got up then turned to the window again. "So what happend then, why has he changed so much.. were is the boy, the man, the person i once knew so well, the one who cared so much for others that he would do anything to keep them safe." She bowed her head, looking to the floor below her its hard metal seemed to just hold no answers, nothing was there, where once she would look to see his eyes, nothing.
"Sean.. tell me, what was it you said last night.. it has broken lose.. what is it.. really? your power.. your shadow.. your essance? It's too hard for me to fully understand now, your not there telling me the answer, your now just a faint murmur of a once strong voice.."
Slowly she undid her hair bands letting her pony tail fall out, her eyes droped as she did, the long hours of work finally caught up with her.
"The machine, will it really help him, can he be brought back from what he is now with it, is there anyway to do that really?" She asked, still no answers called out, as she slipped the leather coat from her shoulders, and undid her boots.
"Even now, something tells me it won't.. but yet i work on.. i guess thats what you always did, worked on, never sleeping, never resting till the last job was done." She yawned then continued to undress herself.
"Guess thats what makes you a hero, to be the one who never gives up, to have hope when noone else does."
Slowly Gemme put on her night wear then slipped into the sheets of the bunk, "Well i know one thing, if you don't give up, i won't. Your.. your.." She yawned one last time as her eyes closed down, "..never.. alone" -
well by the looks of things it appears to of died, or at least be on life surpport now, not active for a few weeks now, a shame i was really enjoying it.
-
Thats right he was, which is why it was used. Even if that is someone who could be said had been taken over by his character, but as far as i see he was just trying to used that to get himself out of trouble, which is the worse idea he could of thought of.

well i for one are still interested in this, of course it's up to everyone else if this dies or goes on.
