@RumikoOhara Why'd i get an @? I'm not in this.
Kalak, was about to get thoroughly punched in his adorable little cat face, before the bio-sludge hit the rider, causing it to shriek in pain and throw him away. He landed in a heap and grabbed his halberd, before seeing the ice shard hit the tyres of the bike. The Unversed skidded a little, a basket flying straight out of the side-car and tumbling into the river bellow. The Unversed pulled itself up and onto it's 3 wheels again, The bike part shook its head and the rider slapped it as they yelled something at each other, before they both stared straiught at Saki and snorted, before the tyres squealed and it drove itself headlong at her. Diving, Kalak tried to shove the Halberd into the spokes of the Motorbike's front wheel. As he did, the rider, once again, batted him away with a backhand from it's long, spindly arms, the halberd fell down and into the ground, as the bike drove past, it smashed into the Key, but the key came off better, as the part of the bike that hit was the hinge holding the side-car on, smashing the hinge, the side-car spun out of control and smashed into a tree, turning back into a normal side-car. But the bike itself still headed for Saki, but then the blizzard hit that vulnerable front wheel and it froze solid, causing the Unversed to veer offcourse and smashed into it's former side-car, the bike and rider then turned their attention back to Saki. The Bike itself clawed the frost from its wheel, before letting out a roar at the others. Kalak retreived the Halberd, "CHAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGE!!!" He yelled as the fluffy ball of blades rushed at the Unversed.
Aboard the Immaculate Aegis

Eggman had come aboard, this time with Oglivie as his wrangler. Eggman appeared on the landing pad in his pod, whilst Oglivie stood next to him. Oglivie wasn't entirely happy with this, but he knew that SOMEONE had to wrangle him in. "Remember, Doctor, no charging in there like a bull in a china-shop." Oglivie said.

"Only if i know they are wrong." Eggman grinned.

"Yes, but just because their opinions differ from yours doesn't automatically make them wrong." He sighed.

"That's an opinion that differs from mine." The pair of them made their way through the ornate corridors. "Ooooh, people after my own heart. Built like a cathedral." He smiled. Luckily, the ship seemed to have been designed with giant floating chairs in mind, so the Eggmobile had no problems floating through the doors. They were constantly getting strong looks from the crew of the ship. "WHAT, I'M AN OLD MAN WHO'S LEGS DON'T WORK SO GOOD ANYMORE!" He yelled at them. "Damn kids with their working legs. I'll have you know i used to be able to outrun Sonic in the old days." They finally made it to the science meeting and Eggman, surprisingly, held his tongue for the first bit. As they finally mentioned the Death Star, Oglivie could see Eggmans face growing more scrunched and annoyed as they constantly berated such an undertaking. Finally, the Doctor seemed to lose Patience. "First of all, i'm pretty positive that this Anubis guy has been stealing some of my idea's. He then pressed a button on the Eggmobile and a hologram of the Death Egg appeared next to the hologram of the Death Star. "We know he's been stealing things from other dimensions, i think it's safe to say he's been to my vault and stolen the plans for MY Death Egg." Oglivie actually piped up here.

"You know, he does actually have a point." Oglivie sighed. "If this Anubis guy is as powerful as Elizabeth says he is and he can jump dimensions, maybe this is something he picked up on the way through our Dimension?" He asked. "I mean... The resemblance is UTTERLY uncanny. Although, i think i'm gonna call theirs the Death Cyclops." Oglivie responded. "Well, like the 3 you built, taking them out should be easy. Just destroy the Giant Robot near the core and that should destroy the rest of the station."

"That's because the Death Egg Robot is designed to protect the core and draws power from it-" Eggman began as playback began of his First Death Egg's destruction played. "You destroy the robot and it starts a resonating, cascading feedback loop and the core REALLY does not like those. But the rest of the Death Egg is pretty much indestructible from the outside. You need to fight your way to the core first, so it's usually fine... Then you run into an annoying rodent who can run faster than the speed of sound and then your plans go out the window, along with the rest of the furniture due to the depressurization..."
Planet ε-302-δ


Everything had been going just great a few minutes ago. A survay of a planet that the Knights had PROBABLY come to at some point, having a couple of laughs with Megatron and Jetfire. Now they were fleeing for their lives from a whole swarm of pissed off Insecticons. "FOR THE LAST TIME, I THOUGHT YOU SAID THEY WERE LOYAL TO YOU!!!" Rodimus screamed from the controls of his gaudy testiment-to-the-infinite-depths-of-his-own-ego, the Rod Pod. In the back, Megatron was manning the rear laser cannons.

"AND I TOLD YOU NOT TO SAY IT!!!" Megatron replied.

"What? I thought "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong" was the universal greeting." He replied.

"It is, IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH ENERGON FOR THE ENTIRE DAMN HIVE!!!" Megatron screamed, shooting down several of the persuing Insecticons. Over the comms, came the voice of Jetfire, who was atop the Pod, acting as a surrogate gun.

"If you two want to stop being an old married couple for 5 seconds, maybe we might be able to better evade them." He called, before taking aim and blasting another out of the sky with his Twin-Fusion cannon. One of the Insecticons landed and slashed at him with his claws, before the Gladiator jumped back, transformed into his Carrier form and blasted it off, before flying alongside the Pod.

"So, Shockwave, i don't want to be a pain or a bother, but, if it ain't too much trouble... WHERE THE HELL IS MY DAMN SPACE BRIDGE!!!" He screamed into the comms. There was a gentle humming from the comms. "I swear to Primus, if i die down here, i'm haunting you."

"It would be an interesting experience to study one. I didn't get much of a chance when Starscream was doing it." Replied the cold, calculating voice of Shockwave.

"NOT JOKING, IT WILL SAY ON MY TOMBSTONE "Here lies Rodimus Prime, the last of the Primes. His Final decree: "If you see Shockwave, punch him in his stupid cyclops-face!!!"

"Calculations done." Shockwave replied, as the giant, green, gaping portal appeared in front of them. Flying through it, they were in space right in front of the Lost Light's hangar.

"TOO CLOSE!" Rodimus shouted, slamming the breaks on hard, in a desperate attempt to slow down. but the ship was far too close, slamming into the hangar deck and grinding along, it's retrothrusters desperateloy trying to bring it to a complete halt. Rodimus was busy praying to Alpha Trion that the Rod Pods paint wasn't too badly damaged. Jetfire, transformed back into bot form and landed in front of the Pod, grabbing it as it skidded, finally forcing it to a halt. Rodimus gave a sigh of relief. "You ok?" He called.

"Apart from my ego, i'd say i'm completely undamaged." Rodimus looked around.

"Oh, great... But i was kinda..." Megatron looked at him with utter contempt.

"I swear to Cybertron below me, if you say you were talking to the ship, i am going to shoot you again and THIS TIME, i WILL snuff your spark." Megatron seethed.

"I was talking to Jet." Rodimus smiled, rubbing the back of his head. Megatron gave him a disgusted look of disbelief as he walked to the door, which descended. Several of the Vehicons approached and began assessing the damage and drawing up a repair schedule. Knockout was there to greet them.

"Nice laqnding, Lord Megatron." He smirked. "Although, between you and me, if you could have roughed that eyesore up just a LITTLE more on the way in... Well, let's just say that nobody would miss it too much." Megatron looked down at Knockout. The Decepticon doctor-turned-mechanic was a little rough around the edges and one of the most vain bots he had ever met, he nonetheless admired his attention-to-detail when it came to his work. Also, there was no bot that knew his way around a buffer like him.

"It was him that was flying it." Megatron sighed. Rodimus was cuddling the Rodpod, putting his arms over it, cooing to it as though it were a wounded child. "If you can accidentally hit the self destruct, i will give you my next weeks Energon rations..." He whispered, knowing full well that Rodimus was such an egotistical narcissist that he hadn't put a self destruct on it, as there was no conceivable way in Rodimus' mind that he would need to destroy it. Megatron approached the lift and stepped inside with Jetfire.

"So, level with me. We've taken out more than that before." Jetfire said. "I mean, even back in the Colosseum, you and me used to squash that many Insecticons as a warm-up round. So, why'd we run?" Megatron didn't look at Jetfire, he simply stood motionless.

"I didn't see the need to get bogged down in a pointless battle." He replied eventually.

"You know, you still seem to forget that you're not the big, rough, tough leader of the Decepticons anymore. You can just say "Slaughtering an entire hive of Insecticons doesn't sit well with my conscience." Remember, ever since you grew one of those?" Jetfire slapped him on the Shoulder. Megatron simply went back to his brooding.

Back with Rodimus, he stood behind Knockout as the mechanic finalized his repair schedule. "What's the news, Doc?" He asked. Knockout looked him up and down.

"Well, i'm afraid that there's nothing that i can do about your ego, but the Rod Pod seems like she'll make a full recovery. I'll need three days to get her back in full working order, as well as buff out that carbon scoring on the rear." His hand transformed into a bufferand revved a little. Rodimus gave the ship a hug.

"You hear that, girl, all good again in a few days." Knockout shook his head. A flash of light appeared in the Hangar and everyone looked around. Rodimus looked down at the floor to see a human woman had appeared. "Ummmm..." He pressed a finger to his ear. "Shockwave, did our sensors read an incoming ground or space-bridge?" He asked.

"Negative, but we did just read a spike in exotic energy. Is there something i may study?" Came the response. Rodimus looked the woman in the eye for a second.

"Stand-by." He ordered, getting down on his hands and knee's. "Ummm, i don't know who you are, but you may be surprised to know that you just Space-Bridged aboard a Cybertronian Explorer vessel." The woman looked around. "Don't mind the Decepticon logo on Knockout, we are all friends here."

"Curious..." Knockout looked her over. "You're not ENTIRELY human anymore are you?" He asked "Oh for the days that i could throw people like this onto the dissection table..." He sighed.

"Pay no attention to him." Rodimus said. "Who are you and what can we do for you?" He smiled. The woman looked at him.

"I don't have a lot of time, but suffice to say, the entire multiverse is at stake. A villain by the name of Anubis is trying to gain enough power to overthrow and control absolutely everyone and everything." She said to the large robot.

"Ok, so, so far you've answered none of my questions and made a demand of me. That's not generally how asking someone for help works." Rodimus sighed. "You know, we ARE allies with Humanity, but trust m, you came to the wrong place. We're on a mission already. Go to Cybertron and ask Optimus and the others for help. They are WAAAAAAAY closer to Earth than we are. Of course, nobody blames you for wanting the great Rodimus Prime himself." He smirked, pushing a thumb to his chest.

"Wow, careful now, Rodimus," Knockout sighed. "You might pull a hydrolic patting yourself on the back there."

"Unfortunately, in your planets current time of peace, this vessel is the only one still fully equipped for war, the rest of your fleet is for defensive purposes and i can only bring one of you. Also, we aren't going to Earth." The woman replied, this Rodimus reminded her a lot of a certain jackass she had known before ascension, of course, he had the excuse that he actually was as smart as he boasted to be. "I don't have a lot of time, but i have looked into your past, Cybertronians are some of the greatest warriors in the multiverse, your help would be invaluable." She said, before smirking a little as she realized to play to this bots ego. "Of course, if you would prefer that i go ask this Optimus bot, i'm sure that he would be far better suited to the situation."

"To be perfectly honest, he probably is, but getting Optimus out here would take time and he is trying to leave the warrior life behind. He is trying to be Orion Pax again..." Rodimus looked down at his hand. "The Matrix chose me, Orion believes in me, I am now the last Prime. If the entire universe is at stake, then there is NO way that i can pass it up." Liz was surprised. It had worked, not in the way she had hoped, but it had worked and she would take it.

"Ummm, Rod, don't you think we should run this by the Captain first?" Knockout asked.

"He may be the Captain, but i am a Prime, that means i outrank him." Rodimus grinned.

"And you're going to say that to his face?" Knockout replied.

"Nope, i'm gonna say she hijacked us against our wills and if you tell him anything, i'll eject your entire supply of hood-polish into the nearest sun." Knockout put his hands up and closed his eyes to indicate his agreement to these terms. "Lady, you've got yourself a ship. How long is this going to take?"

"I have no idea, but I will be able to put your vessel back at this exact space at this exact time upon your return."

On the Bridge, Megatron sat in the captains chair, Ravage sat at his side, with Laserbeak on his perch. "Uuuuuum, Lord Megatron, there seems to be an exotic energy spike again." Said one of the Vehicons.

"Strange... Get Shockwave up here, he'll be delighted to study it." Megatron replied, before suddenly, the ship was engulfed in a bright light. "WHAT'S HAPPENING?" Megatron screamed.

"UNKNOWN" The Vehicon replied. "THE SHIP'S BEING FLOODED WITH EXOTIC ENERGIES!"

"IS TRYPTICON TRYING TO WAKE UP?" Megatron asked.

"NEGATIVE, HIS COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS STILL AT MINIMUM."

"THEN WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY DAMN SHIP!?!?!?" He demanded. At that point, the light show stopped and the ship continued to drift lazily in the black void of space. "Damage report, now." A few seconds later, the answer came.

"Nothing specific. But a lot of the crew seem rather startled." Megatron got up.

"RODIMUS, TO THE BRIDGE NOW!" He demanded into the comms. At that point, Shockwave arrived on the bridge. He took one look out of the front viewport.

"We have been space-bridged." He replied. Megatron looked at him, puzzled. "The allignment of the stars has shifted significantly. I don't even recognize it. This alignment of stars is not possible within known space." He said, cold, hard, matter-of-factly.

"Get a fix on our position relative to galactic core and see if you can raise Cybertron or Earth." He ordered. "AND WHERE THE HELL IS RODIMUS?!?!" He demanded.
Well, here it is. This was fun to make and i hope it gets accepted.

Tantive IV


With the Egg Carriers arrival, the majority of the fleet had been gathered to assist in the last of the evacuations. Sonia had done what she could, using a combination of the Assimilators sensors and her Chaos Emerald to grab a few stragglers as their battle with these infernal clouds drew to a close and Alderaan was stripped of its life in front of them. Now she was to be the representative at the meeting, along with Oglivie.

Oglivie listened to Anakin talk about taking the fight to the enemy, freeing this slave army of theirs and rallying the greatest warriors in their galaxy. "Now, that is a plan i can get behind. First we need to know HOW he's controlling them? If this Anubis freak killed the Chancellor, then why are they following his orders to begin with? I mean, i don't know how Republics work in this crazy universe, but where i come from, if you murder a leader, you don't become the leader... So, General Skywalker, being that you are a General, what is the command structure like? How would you go around grabbing the reigns of this army?" He asked.

In the meantime, Sonia seemed to have gravitated more to Falul's way of thinking. "I believe you to be right. When my mother rallied the entire of my planet against the Empire, she didn't do so by winning a great battle. She put out the cry for freedom and reminding people of everything they had lost to these tyrants. A single battle-cry can echo long after the fanfare of a victory has faded." She nodded.

"And then your dad almost single-handedly kicked their butts." Oglivie retorted. "A good butt-kicking has never hurt when it came to getting people onboard for a revolution." He shrugged. Sonia shook her head.

"I know the stories, and yes, my father was a hero, but it was the people that truly overthrew Mobotropolis. Father made skirmishes into the city, but it wasn't until the people stood up that victory was achieved." She sighed. "I CAN work up a rousing and rallying speech for someone, but to be perfectly honest, i don't think i'm the one to be giving it. I am just a face that means nothing to them... But from what i hear, General Skywalker, you are a highly decorated war-hero. If the people see you as the one leading this, then i'm positive that they will have much more faith than, no offense to anyone here, but a bunch of nobodies with a few fancy ships that barely makes up a patrol-cruise let alone an actual Battle-fleet."
Looking around, Kalak saw the others arrive. "Look, i've been a few other things in my time" he said. "I've been a Monster, a Mer-person, an Ape... It's just..." He looked down at his paws. "First time without thumbs..." He said. He then looked over at Hido as Saki seemed to take charge. "Yeah... What she said..." He sniffed the air a little. "I smell... Dog..." He stared at Hido. The dark sky let a bolt of lightning rip through it. "First things first, probably better find cover." He shook his furry head. They then heard a strange sound, a rhythmic popping sound, intermittent with a few bangs. He then saw smoke billowing into the air down the road. "Probably better get out of the road..." He said, before seeing it arrive.

A large, 3 wheeled monstrosity, tearing down the road. It looked like a motorbike that the handlebars had been replaced with a monster. another monster was in the drivers saddle, with a side-car holding what looked like a basket. It was plastered with the Symbol of something that wasn't quite the Heartless.

"OH, Oko taught me about these guys. They're called... Unrehearsed!" He said. "They aren't Heartless, but they kill people all the same... Also, we should probably kill it because they attract Heartless." He flipped the Halberd around his neck as he grabbed it in the middle with his teeth to ready to weild. it. "GEH IHH GUYS!!!" He yelled as it roared past, he jumped and slashed at the creature's front, the motorcycle creature put up its arms to block the Halberds head, grabbing Kalak by the scruff, he instinctively curled his fluffy legs up under him as it carried him, it not slowing down from the attack. "I'h reeeyee sorry..." He groaned through the weapon in his teeth.
@RumikoOhara Oh, ok. If you did post those rules i can't find them anywhere else in this thread. But if you are adamant no Lanterns, i'll respect that and withdraw.

That being said, the only "Always-evil" Lanterns are the Blacks (But that's only because the only people who can become the leader of the Black Lanterns are evil people and the leader of the Black Lanterns has 100% control over the rest of the corps) Emotions aren't inherently evil, simply those who wield their emotions can do so in good and evil ways. Hense why Sinestro was able to retain his Green Lantern status, even after turning evil, because he was harnessing his will for evil purposes. The Indigo's are all about compassion and yet they will happily murder people if they think that they are suffering. Star Sapphires are a very mixed bag because half of them harness their love for good purposes, but there are those in the Star Sapphires who harness their love for downright sadistic reasons. Hell, Carol Ferris can't seem to make up her mind as to which side she's on.

On the flipside, you have characters like Arkillo, who is a Yellow Lantern who started evil, but was eventually shown the light by Guy Gardiner, they actually became the closest of friends and after Guy was taken over by the Darkstars, it was Arkillo that managed to bring him back to his senses. Arkillo remained a Yellow Lantern, because his strongest ability was his ability to instill fear, but he is a good person now. Dex-Starr is a common house cat that became a Red Lantern because his owner was murdered and then said murderer tied him up in a burlap sack and threw him off the Brooklyn Bridge. Dex's anger flows from his hatred of murderers and other people who are only out there to make the world worse. Dex is a good kitty. Hell, even Larfleez has managed to have a few good streaks in the light.

Sorry for that rant. The Lanterns are some of my favourite idea's for Heroes in comics and i get a little autistic when people generalize them. Anyway, with this amount of players, i think i'll give this one a miss and wish you all the best.
@Dnafein 1) I don't see how "Coming up with a machiavellian scheme to conquer the universe and ultimately letting his opponent live in order to feed his omnipotent arrogance" is somehow "Out of character" for Sinestro. I mean, i thought that was pretty much his main character motivation. "I want to rule the universe because everyone else has proven that they are incapable. Only i am strong enough, wise enough and have the will to bring the entire universe under a single banner" And anyone that says "Sinestro can't feel fear" clearly doesn't understand the character. Sinestro feels fear because he is the Champion of Fear. To become the champion of a colour, you have to be able to feel your emotion, allow it to flow through you, but for you to be in ultimate control of it and be able to instill it in others with the greatest of ease. That's why Hal is the Champion of Green, Attrocitus is the Champion of Red, etc. What does he fear the most? Anything he can't control. Death, for example. Arin died and he was powerless to stop it.
2) Again, because Sinestro had abandoned his Yellow ring in favour of White. The Red ring had its user, the Yellow didn't. Sinestro isn't cold and unfeeling. He cares about people. Hell, the reason that he's the villain that he is is because he loved Arin far too much that her death completely broke him. Again, he had to act caring towards Martin in order to foster that trust and, as proven with Hal, all the best lies have the truth sprinkled in there somewhere. Despite being a crazed despot, Sinestro has proven that he still does care for Halas a partner, as he cared for Arin and Abin. His only real regret is that Hal won't join him. And again, the reason he didn't kill Martin is because of Sinestro's single greatest weakness that defeats him on every single occasion.

Sinesto is the single most arrogant being in the universe. If he killed Martin as he stood there powerless then he'd have to admit that he feared him even a little. That isn't something he was willing to do.
@Sonnenschein I don't get this argument. "If you question your GM, that means that you don't respect them!" Surely questioning your GM is showing them respect. "I respect you enough to disagree with you and tell you why i disagree with you, because i think you are a reasonable person who can reasoned with."

It's not like i've been told no multiple times and continue to beat a dead horse. I was told "No, i don't want Lanterns" and i have given a good reason why i feel Lanterns aren't as detrimental to the RP as they believe. If/when Rumiko weighs that argument and still says no, then i'll drop it.
