The Ultimate Organization III

OOC: Because we like him...

BIC: "Being dead is quite an experience," Atilio said out loud, watching his old body burn in the wreckage. "But that's what we get I suppose."

"I almost feel bad for the man," Atilio said. "But Vecked, you're going to have to be smarter than that to kill me."

Atilio strode away from the window in the building across the street and slipped into shadows, becoming one with the darkening sky as he disappeared...this time, perhaps for good...

 

OOC: ...

BIC: Vecked didn't hear the spirit of Atilio because he was dead...

OOC: I have a new no come back to life rule that I've started using for my characters... just so everyone knows my view on things coming back from the dead...

 

Liam smirked.

"Very nicely done Mr. Princeton."

He strode across the room and looked out the picture window that faced out towards the sprawling city.

"Nice place, nice world."

He then looked back to Vecked. "So, about Wing. Are you in?"

 

"Is this going to be a deal with the Brotherhood or a deal with you, Liam?" Vecked asked, "Does Scourge himself want Wing dead? Or only you?"

 

OOC: *sticks tongue out* That only works if he ever died...

BIC: Xardius felt really sick all of a sudden...again...

"Again..." he muttered. "But different this time...not as bad...maybe there wasn't such a connection..."

 

Liam cocked his head to one side, contemplating Vecked's response.

"Well, which answer will get gain me your assistance? I mean Scourge certainly wants the boy dead, and I have my own reasons to kill him as well...so right now I'm acting alone."


Outside the door a young girl in a UPA outfit hid in the shadows listening to Liam's every word. She knew he couldn't sense her, but was aware that Vecked maybe able to, but she wasn't worried. Vecked had had his chance to kill her long ago, and he hadn't....he also told her that Wing wasn't his enemy, and hoped he'd remember that and kill Liam instead.

 

OOC: Hey, thanks to everybody that gets on and posts everyday...holidays are deadly.

I have to make new plots right now (since all my old ones fell through), so forgive me if they're a bit...er, not well thought out...

BIC: It haunted him, though he didn't let it show. It cursed him, though he kept it inside. It ate at him in his dreams, which were like images on the other side of a curtain...only the memory of a memory remained. What filled the gaps was darkness. He could feel it slowly picking away at his brain; the strain had been going on for much too long. How, he sometimes wondered, did I manage before? Or did I manage?

In his dreams, he wondered, and in doubting, he became susceptible to chaos. And in the chaos, he was nothing.

***

Scourge sat at his desk, the pen scratching across the paper with an almost pleasant rhythm. The letter was addressed to a very important person, at least to him, and he hoped it would explain things.

After all, it's not like he'd have time later.

Finishing, he signed his name, and folded it, placing it carefully inside his desk. He'd let the person know where it was later.

Later...Scourge's headache increased again, and he fought back the pain, driving to the source of the issue and stabbing it with white hot willpower. The pain receded.

His eyes cleared and he found himself on the floor. Pushing himself up, he walked across the room to the fireplace, making the flames dance as he got closer by twitching a few of his fingers.

Not for the first time, he wondered if he were insane.

The thought made him smile, and soon he was laughing, as the flames turned white hot and burned, before running out of fuel and dying out into small embers that burned briefly for a moment, and then died.

OOC: Finish the rest later...don't want to post it ALL right now...

 

OOC:Sadly so...:xp:

I'm still trying to think up my new character. After that, I'll have to think of a way to introduce him...

 

"I want the light!" The woman yelled, running through the darkness while bullets flew through the world around her. A spotless suddenly flew through her, and then focused. She looked up at the source of the light and was met with a bullet. "God damn it," The fleet Commander muttered, watching the woman fall to her knees.

Nulix watched the shooting from his window. Nulix was making good money know, it was true. Fifty-thousand a year wasn't bad for an eighteen year old kid with limited experience in any field except combat and strategy. The thing was that Lexx had raised the taxes so much in the Six Sora System that things were hard for someone making Nulix's type of money, if you made anything less you probably couldn't pay your rent, pay for transportation, or buy food for the week.

Nulix sighed. Many had tried to escape, those who did were shot down. This woman and a few others had planned an overtake of the U.P.A. military base at the end of Nulix's street. Lexx had wanted a base almost every other street, to keep the people afraid so that they would not rebel. Fear was the most effective way to control someone.

Nulix pulled his phone out and pressed one of the speed dial numbers.

"Eho?" A voice said on the other end.

"Lexicon Klüppel..." Nulix muttered, "We need to discuss your plans, I think- ...what are you listening too?"

"Oh, just some crap," Lexx replied, lowering the music in the background. "So when do you wanna meet up? I'm no good talking on the phone..."

"Soon," Nulix replied.

"Morning?" Lexx asked, "I pick you up at... tenish, we go to the White Elephant... at, uh, State street maybe?"

"The good neighborhood," Nulix commented.

Lexx laughed on the other end, before hanging up. Nulix put the phone down, before rubbing his head. "This whole set up shouldn't work..." Nulix thought aloud. Things worked too well for Lexx... even the war, very convenient. A terrorist attack coming from a land no Sora System citizen had ever seen before, nor would they see on the news. A constant, evil enemy that was too vaguely shown to judge. And an absolute war budget from the Sora System, billions of dollars.

Nulix raised an eyebrow, something catching his eye in a newspaper he had lying on the floor. Nulix bent down and picked it up, his eyes still locked on one sentence. "The main governing force behind the now non-existent Sora System has been terminated by the Six Sora System Government, better known by its military name, the U.P.A. The Sora System Government apparently asked the U.P.A. back for a large amount of the war budget. Hairis Richards, grand leader of the U.P.A., declined the Sora System's request and the government was official terminated two weeks later," Nulix said, repeating the words of the paper.

Nulix sat back down in his chair, thinking furiously. And then, it hit him. "Lexx bombed Destiny City..." Nulix realized. "I have to prove this, I can change this whole thing around," Nulix said, thinking to himself. There was limited information he could use, nothing that could prove had any connections to the bombing. But maybe something that could make the public see him as evil, see how he worked.

Nulix raised his eyebrow. "The office," He muttered, running to his phone and furiously dialing a number.

"One condition," Vecked replied, turning to Liam. "I meet Scourge first."

***

"I'll just have a bagel, plain everything, and... a medium Ripple, please," Nulix said to the waitress. She smiled and started walking away, Lexx watched her for a second before turning to Nulix. "So... lets talk."

"Alright, first off, what the hell did you do?" Nulix asked, starting this meeting off hostile. "Excuse me?" Lexx replied.

"Whats with the taxes?" Nulix asked, "Why are they so high, I thought this was supposed to be a utopia?"

"Yeah, a utopia that isn't completely paid for yet," Lexx replied. "Things always get worse before they get better, chill out dude."

"I haven't seen things getting better, I've seen death and dying." Nulix explained, "Why don't you get out of your ivory tower and do something about it."

"Watch your mouth, I'm doing whats best right now," Lexx replied.

"No your not..." Nulix muttered, "I heard Richards resigned the other, your the new Hairis. So congratulations, you've created a hell system, my Hairis Klüppel... Sora System has been terminated, Ulfire and the rest will follow since you have their citizens..."

"I'm gonna eliminate all the bad in the world, I've already started." Lexx yelled, "I've made system that the gods would envy. The most diverse, beautiful place in the universe!"

"Alright, well at least the homeless can live in the beautiful parks until they die, eh?" Nulix replied. "I'm gonna turn these people against you. I'm gonna show them your mind games, your little plans will fall apart soon enough, Lexx, I swear to god..."

"I'm Grand Hairis Lexx," Lexx said, "Do you think anyone will listen to you over me? People aren't stupid, they don't want to die... follow someone like you, and they will die."

"No they won't," Nulix replied. "You can't kill them all... you just want to scare them. If the people all gather together, Lexx, you can't stop them..."

"...Right, good luck, buddy," Lexx muttered. "You can't turn me evil, though."

"You've taken care of that yourself," Nulix said. "The people have seen death... what they haven't seen is lying." Nulix reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a Video key. "U.P.A. Security luxury office pod, security tape for the last five months." Nulix said.

"Do you know what happened in the last five moths in that office?" Nulix asked, "You gave us a contract then yelled at us, saying you would turn our public image around completely..."

Lexx clenched his fists. "Security!" He yelled. At least fifty U.P.A. guards sprang from nowhere, ready to kill Nulix at any second. Nulix dodged the guards barely, jumping off the table and onto a ship that was just flying off the ground. The ship started to fly off course by Nulix's added weight. Nulix leaned to the side and punched the window in.

"I want him dead, now," Lexx muttered, watching Nulix commandeer the ship in the distance.

***

The family gathered in front of the Tv, or the citizens in front of the large theater wide screens on the side of the building. Lexx's next speech was just a few minutes away, and it was mandatory for the citizens to watch...


OOC: Again, a post that won't make a whole lot of sense to Hidden and Willi...

 

Wing looked sideways at Xardius, sensing his inner turmoil.

"Old friend, don't let the chaos control you. Things are different now, the past is the past, don't let it try to haunt you again..."

He said, memories of a pst life were he and Xardius had been enemies passed through his mind, and caused his flawless smile to falter for a moment.

Liam bowed. "Of course." He opened a portal and motioned for Vecked to step through

 

OOC: Just because I wasn't here for a while doesn't mean I didn't read up on what you guys had been doing....XD

BIC: "What you've done in your past doesn't matter. What matters is what you do now with your past. Its the future that counts y'know", Bellatrix muttered quietly, glancing at others with a reflective look on her face, "And of course, its always brighter when you've been dwelling with the darkness of the past"

 

OOC:Book Reports...:xp:

I've been gone most of the week from the computer because of it...And I'm going to be gone most of the weekend for it too...

However, there is some good news. Christmas break is coming up, and other than spending time with my family, of course, I should have some time to finally get back on the computer long enough to perhaps even finally figure out what the heck is going on anymore within the RP.

 

OOC: Another person is requesting membership! This time, I'll try to get them a little more updated before throwing them in... (This guy actually found one of the videos on Youtube, and followed through on it! That's crazy!)

BIC: Xardius shook his head. "Wing, not everyone has darkness they can defeat so easily...But I've fought too long and too hard..." His words cut off as it suddenly hit him. "I...remember..."

Xardius' eyes widened with horror, then squeezed shut, his hands pressing against his temples. "No.........."

He raised his head back and screamed. "WHY?!?!?!?!?!?"

Slowly, he sank to his knees, then fell to the ground, unconscious.

OOC: Probably really confusing, but it will become clear soon...

BIC: Tyre Rutherford knew what it meant. But he refused to accept it. His blood lay in a puddle around him, emptying from his body from a gut wound that he found himself unable to close.

He couldn't get up. In fact, he could barely breathe.

His world began fading...and he looked back through the ages. Into her memories.

***
Tifanitan, the Celestial Mage of Water, resided within him. He didn't know when it had happened. Shortly after he had died, he guessed. That is, when the Heartless attacked his village, and had eaten him. Unable to confront the reality, he had become an unstable Nobody. Shortly thereafter, he was whole again. It had taken him only a few hours to realize there was somebody else inside him.

Her heart and soul had collided with his, fusing together to form a new person, a combination of the two, yet separate at the same time. Tifanitan never came into his mind, and he never went into hers, yet he knew she knew about him, and shared his memories.

Because he shared hers.

So when he had met Xardius...

It had been a bit of a shock to finally meet the person Tifanitan dreamed about the most. But he had been different. He was younger in her memories, late teens Tyre had guessed, and not quite the goliath he was when Tyre finally met him. Tyre had immediately wanted to get to know the giant for himself, as Tifanitan's memories had pressed upon him Tifanitan's own feelings for the warrior.

Tifanitan had not been an emotionless young woman. At first, she was envious of his power, but as she got to know him, she became friends, even looked up to the man as an older brother, even though she was the elder of the two. But, then she'd been murdered, set adrift on the winds of time, and had smashed into Tyre.

As he lay pondering this, he realized that Tifanitan was speaking to him, for the first time. Desperately, he tried to talk back. It was like talking through a wall, but he managed to hear her whisper.

"Tyre, get up, the fight isn't over yet," Tifanitan whispered.

"I'm dying," Tyre whispered back. "I can't even move my fingers."

"Are you that willing to give up on your dreams?" Tifanitan whispered, growing louder. "Because even if you are, I'm not."

"Why?" Tyre whispered back. "Why is it so important?"

"Because," Tifanitan said, and then it was if she was right beside him. "I must live."

And through her voice, he found the power within him to stand once more.

***
Tyre opened his eyes to find himself covered in his own blood, but the wound was gone. He was still weak, but he could fight now.

Excellent. He could feel Tifanitan's power coursing through him, more than he'd ever felt before. It wasn't the first time he'd drawn on her spiritual strength, but this was almost like a perfect merge of their combined power. He raised his chin and his sword.

"Hegemoth, you back-stabbing coward, where do you think you're going?" Tyre asked.

Hegemoth paused, turning slightly, the bloody dagger still dripping blood. "How...are you...?"

Tyre sped forward, his sword slashing down faster than the eye could follow, ripping Hegemoth open.

Hegemoth, the ex-Guardian of Wind, had time to gasp before his guts fell out and Tyre's sword flashed back, ending his life by a clean slash to the neck.

Tyre idly twirled his sword as he began walking back down the street.

 

OOC:Who is it? And, what video lead him here? If I may ask?

 

OOC: Looks like I've missed way to much. What's been going on?
EDIT: Never mind. It's only gone up a page since I last posted...

 

OOC: Holiday's are thread killers, Pirate... (*sigh*)

 

OOC: I might actually be able to post a bit more often once vacation hits. Though, I'm guessing that might not be the case for most of you...

 

OOC: well... its gonna be a bit difficult for me until new year, but after that i SHOULD be able to get on alot more

 

OOC: Just keep posting periodically everyone! Now, let's see...

I'm...going to wait with the next big post. I'm not feeling very ingenious right now.

 

OOC: I feel like typing a big post myself. I'll get to it later...

EDIT: New UO teaser posters should be coming soon. THe second chapter of the comic is coming along slowly, though...And did I ever give the first chapter of the UO comic or the first set of teaser posters to you, Willi? I don't think you were here when I first pm'd them to everyone.
