Legend of the Sorai
A/N: Well, so after last chapter, Dragon is captured, but apparently it has to do with a plan. Usually, plans like that, they're best kept secret, however Dragon knows, but won't remember now that he's brainwashed. The Ori are involved, so that leaves a lot of you asking one question, is Adria involved? The answer to that is....wait to find out in the Third Intermission.
Third Intermission
"Well," said Apocalypse, "I'm impressed Palpatine, actually the Dark Council is very impressed as well, that you managed to capture Dragon."
"If I might add," said Artemais, "I still think it's a trick, brainwashing him, and placing as your vice officer, I think that he planned this."
"That isn't important," said Palpatine, "What is, is the fact that Balsalvis is now ruins, the snakes say it was the Ori warriors who hit it, then came to Byss. One ship I should say came to Byss, a whole battalion, and then beamed out."
"I thought the Ori were the bad guys." said Artemais, "According to the tv series..." His astral form looked bashful as a new person entered the spiritual arena
"Once again," said the new person, "Reality and the tv series differ. In the Star Gate series, the Ori and their followers are evil, wanting religious domination, however in reality, it's not far off, however, its because they wanted to preserve and save the multiverse, though the ORI beings were hardliners, they were not destroyed, Adria is not their leader as a being cannot be born in human form, but Morgana took command once the Ori warriors crossed over to the SOL system in that reality, Morgana had them destroy Balsalvis to show that they are powerful enough to oppose us, however, they have one downfall, we have the Haradan Cannon."
"The Haradan Cannon," said Apocalypse, "It's that super planet destroyer, that you have as one of your defense weapons in orbit, around Byss."
"That is correct," said Palpatine, "Having the Death Star here is unneeded, I have it out in the far systems, maintaining order, after Alderann's destruction, submission to my will has returned, slightly, though with Tatooine now taken by the Alliance of Light, we might use it there."
"Beware," said the new person, "That you are crossing a line that the Elders will not appreciate."
Palpatine glanced at the woman, "Ivy," he said, "Apocalypse speaks for the Elders."
Archive, or Ivy, from Reality 8.j7 the earth of magic (Harry Dresden Files) smirked, "The Old Elders, not the Elders, right now they want domination again, but the Haradan Cannon is unstable as it can tear a hole in space and reality, they want all whole, the faster these pests are wiped out, the better, The Exilic Nexus is getting crowded."
"We have Dragon," said Palpatine, "We brainwashed him into believing he had been captured by the Rebel Alliance, who handed him over to the Alliance of Light, who told him to turn or he died, then made him think he was their last hope. He knows secrets, it will take us a month to wipe out this infestation, though we cannot trace any links between the Alliance of Light and the Rebels, except that Derrel Book has taken a Star Destroyer."
"Not any Star Destroyer," said Ivy, "She is called the Kinnel Kal Calla, she is a prototype ship, designed by the Huya guild during your tenure as senator, it was a ship that had some special designs put in to it, however no one ever knew about it, except an elite group of Jedi, called the Jin Giti-ki, one of him Garlan Book was a member of, his son Darrel is not a Jedi, but blessed with some powers, the ship was destroyed by Federation ships, on it's way to Vader's aid when he had captured the Princess, however, the Serenity found it, and reactivated it, it's classified as a Super Star Destroyer, there were two supers created during the wars, not one, as Vader was led to believe, or you your lordship."
"What does that matter?" said the dark aspect of Dragon, Phoenix and Chronis, "we'll board it when the time comes, Ivy, go back to the readings that you're required, you are dismissed."
Silently the young woman glared, then energy shimmered as the Archive of existence returned to the plane of reality.
"You seem annoyed," said Apocalypse, glancing at the Aspect.
"The Musi, The True Guardians, the Preservers," The Aspect said, "They're involved, and at this point because of you, others are, the Old Ones wanting to reclaim Reality, all of it, brings a certain issue as well.....considering that the Beings are going to go to war because of this, you screwed up Apocalypse."
Palpatine stood up and waved a hand at the council, others who were there, had not spoke, but had no reason glared at Apocalypse, finally Mr. Sinister said something.
"The Alliance is without it's power house, they may have the Time Avatar, the First Avatar, and the Phoenix, but they are without the Dragon, who is the key, after all he is the Penultimate, as he is not an avatar, but the Last True Dragon, there is a difference, his powers in combination with the Others will bring back the Paradine within him, he can destroy the Old Ones as well as the Elders, and the Dark Council."
"We can keep him brainwashed," said Palpatine, "It will slow some of them down, but we have already captured some individuals, Lady Kestral, who is destined to be Lady of the Cosmos, alongside Dragon after the turning point, Dragon, Skuld, and the Mysica, the missing Musi that completed the quadrillogy of beings, without Mysica, Kestral and Dragon, they are powerless, without a few other beings, and people, they are powerless."
Mr. Sinister glanced at another person who stood up, "Then I take it that you're giving us permission to go after both groups?"
Dylan Hunt commander of the Andromeda Ascendant, fallen Paradine, looked over at Palpatine, "well?"
Mr. Sinister, sighed, "Yes, this is a warning though Hunt, as your ship has been through more realities, thanks to time travel and the Abyss, who we're thankful is no longer on the list of Elders, we will tolerate no heroics on trying to nova bomb every system, remember those bombs are tearers as well, Cthulu wants at least 20 realities perfect, so he can warp them to his designs, the others the same, but they're far more pickier, we're trying to have the Dark Guard repair any worm holes, and other anomalies."
"So are we done here?" asked Apocalypse, "I want to have my fleet scouring every reality for allies who are coming to the Alliance's call, and stop them, right now the Light's fleets here are a threat, but a manageable one, even with the Federation here, and the Earth Defense Fleets."
Palpatine nodded, "One Month," he smiled, "One Month Gentlemen, and the Power of Darkness will rule."
The conclave ended, and a lot of beings blinked out as they went back to their realities, soon three people were left at the conclave, Palpatine, Apocalypse, and a new person to the fold, Darken Rahl, who had been rebirthed for this event.
"You understand that Apocalypse had you brought here for a reason," said Palpatine at the man who almost controlled an entire world, before his son destroyed him, "That we need a magic user on our side, we don't have any magix besides my Dark Jedi, but that may not be enough, if Book has the Force Witch with him."
"I thought," said Rahl, "From what Apocalypse told me, that River Tam was supposed to be created for your uses, to amplify your abilities."
"The Alliance wasn't involved," said Apocalypse, referring to Malcolms universe, "It was a rogue group of Imperial's who snuck in, to create a powerful being, however River's brother figured it out, since the men wore uniforms of our science academy, a small problem on our part, but the bigger one is that the officers that came after her, were ours, using stolen ships to make Reynolds believe that the Alliance wanted her, however, we have gotten word, that the Alliance has figured that out, and has sent a small contingent to take us on as well, they haven't arrived yet, thats why Hunt and my battalions are doing the space thing, three ships of Alliance capabilities would severely dent anything we send out."
"You think that she'll come after you," said Rahl, "You're threatened if she allies with the Jedi, a Force Witch who can use anything, including advanced Battle Meditation."
"Yes," said Palpatine, "Your death in your reality makes it easier for us to use you here, without the Keeper's knowledge, even if he had knowledge, he cannot move against us, because of the Darjuhme proclamation, which is a good thing for us."
"Agreed," said Rahl, "Then move me into the palace, and I will help keep an eye out on the Dragon."
"Keep your power hidden," said Apocalypse, "the washers tell me, that they couldn't do much, except shut down some areas and reroute others, if we had a blood stone we could do more, but right now he's loyal, and 'married' to Kestral, he's been given rank of second to me and command of a network of spies, who unfortunately have not infiltrated his old friends, methinks they know the spies are coming and hide better that way. We had seen hide nor hair of anyone since his capture, its as if the universe is silent, Tatooine is still under their protection, which we will recognize for the rest of the month period before we move, actually ships that have flown past, say the planet is deserted, nothing is there, no heat signitures except for native animals, no humans or humanoids."
"That doesn't worry me," said Palpatine, "I never had an interest in the backwater planets, but something tells me, that wherever they are hiding, they'll move soon, it's been two weeks since his capture, two more til the month period ends, what the council doesn't know is that a small fleet the same day he was captured was seen over Coruscant, then rippled out of existence."
"Mass Cloak generator?" asked Rahl who had been studying some documents.
"No," said Palpatine, "no distortions or anything, they may have reality shifted, as they do have Mozenwrath and Mechanicles."
"Lets go," said Apocalypse, "I have work to do to get the final things prepared."
"Agreed," said the other two, as they blinked out.
Three others who had kept hidden, stood up and unzipped an astral hider and stepped out, Hexadecimal, Megabyte, and The Doctor all watched the meeting, and recorded it, now had a task about them. If you're wondering how two beings from a computer were here, lets just say that augmentations had been made, not to mention that reality can happen and remake things.
"This is preposterous," said the red skinned woman, "They're worse then Megs and I ever were when we were evil inside The World, trying to break out, the Ancients?! The Elders!? I don't believe it, we need to bring the Red Council up to speed."
"The council doesn't want to get involved anymore then it has to," said the Doctor, "This is the same reason the Time Wars happened, I believed that the Dark Council saw Galifrey as a threat, because of what we could do, so they ended us, however I'm still here, but that doesn't..." he stopped speaking as a wormhole opened and deposited four people before them.
"...change things," he said, "Hello Quinn, wondering when you'd make it to the Astral express."
The Sliders group (season one) had just come from an Earth where a plague had destroyed humanity to really scared idiots, and they had nearly died, looked around them, "Astral," said Quinn, "didn't know we could slide here."
"You can't," said the Doctor, "I made sure you came here, right now you have a job to do, and listen carefully, because I've set your machine for 15 minute jumps, every world you go to has a being who knows who I am, you'll be landing there, inform them that the Doctor says the following, 'Return to the Fold, for the House of the Dragon has awakened, the Door is open.' The device has the locations already imprinted, don't touch it, afterwards, you'll go back on your merry way, also, be careful."
with that another worm hole opened and the four disappeared again.
"We need to go," said Megabyte, "I can get allies and come back."
"No," said The Doctor, "You and Hex are going to become code again, become computer bugs and infect a few ships systems of the Imperials, mainly those of the Death Star and Haradan Cannon, I've seen what these weapons can do, they must not operate, don't destroy them, of the Dark Command will think that the Allies are moving faster, and Dragon isn't ready yet, this month is for him, you'll understand when it happens."
Hex and Mega nodded then disappeared.
The doctor's ship appeared and he disappeared.
What they hadn't know was that the Dark Aspect had been watching, chuckling silently, he left, but wasn't going to say a word to anyone, this was fun, after all Chaos would always be his gig, even if the Light won.
