Wohoo! Don't you just love Saturday afternoons? Totally made for doing stuff!
Just saw Metropolis, great anime movie, so expect maybe a little of that to carry over into this. Seriously, go see it, rent it, buy it if you have a chance, it's a great movie. Copyrighted whoever owns it.
This chapter gets even stranger, and even worse. I'm venting a little with it (admittedly) since nobody has ever (within my knowledge) written about widespread panic among dimensions and realms, so I'm doing it.
(If they have, do let me know, I'd love to read it J)
And now…
---------------------
Chapter Title: Vanishing acts and Magic/ Fate is a cruel mistress
Rating:" PG-13 for Lauren's use of " The Language of the ignorant."
Disclaimer: Star wars…flannel guy…get the picture? Oh and anything that seems familiar is probably copyright to somebody, give them the credit, not me. I'm just borrowing them.
Note: last time I used the lyrics from a great song by HoobaStank. Those Lyrics are copyright HoobaStank.

" For his revolt; yet faithful how they stood, their glory withered as with heaven's fire hath scarred the mountain peaks or forest pines…"
- John Milton " Paradise Lost"
----------------------
Theed Palace had been blown away, leaving a gaping hole amidst the ruined buildings and statutes. For lack of something better to do, Amidala, to be known as Padme Skywalker, bent her head to her knees and began to weep.
Lauren was in shock.
Whoever's messing with this… she felt the anger again, raw and boiling, Whoever's fucking with Star Wars deserves- she clenched and unclenched her fists, like a terrible choir against Amidala's sobs. Pananka staggered forward, peering through a vague mist…
A man.
He was tall, hooded in black, red and black face like some evil mask of death from beneath his hood. He ignited a lightsaber, double bladed, blood red lightsaber as he stared forward.
" Jedi…"
Darth Maul grinned evilly.
-----------------------
It was right about then the Jedi lost it.
The rain poured down in unabated fury as Obi-wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn launched themselves forward. They were perfectly aware, totally aware, in fact, that they were being used against their will.
And, like any normal being in any dimension, they would rectify that right away.
Obi- wan practically flew over Mauls head, Maul, enjoying the challenge, caught him in the head with a foot Kick. Qui-Gon pushed at Maul and watched with a sadistic pleasure as Maul tripped over himself, nearly impaling his black body on his lightsaber. The attacks became more vicious, the rain pouring down harder then before, as the force itself screamed like a thousand daemons…
----------------------
Lauren staggered, this was wrong.
Qui-Gon and Obi-wan weren't supposed to be fighting Maul in the open, for that matter, they weren't supposed to be doing what they were doing. She felt fouled, spoiled, wishing for hell to rain its fury upon whoever had caused this…
IT gripped her again, and this time, she understood.
Visions flashed before her eyes, World wars, Disasters, death, disease, and the things her world had suffered because of…who?
Beyond the battle, the duel of the fates stood a man.
He too was black on black, or perhaps black on gray. His eyes were clear, filled with deadly purpose, she recollected him from somewhere, but she couldn't definitely say where…
You feel me. The man's voice was in her head. She spun, music…something by HoobaStank was playing in the background as she stared at him in horror, the world seemingly disappearing.
Matter cannot be created or destroyed, but it exists forever. So said I…
" BASTARD!" she screamed, reaching out for something, someone, anything-
A hole, familiar by now, opened.
Things rushed from it. Blue vague shapes that had no bearing in this world…or at least not yet. She caught a glimpse of Luke Skywalker, like a phantom, Leia was beside him. Thousands of characters, creations, some known, some that were waiting to be found…
I feel emptiness inside
A part of me already died
But I pretend that you go on
Like everything's okay,
When all we've built begins to fall
And I begin to loose it all
Shut my eyes and set me free…
She watched with a sadistic pleasure as one of her own fanfiction characters, a girl named Carolyn, dove at the man, knocking him from his feet. The ghosts swarmed after him over him…
------------------
The duel continued, on both sides
In the world called earth however, things had begun to change as well. Lyn Rodriguez, pilot of sixteen years, felt the plane under her control veer sharply. Below her, machines and computers were rebelling, exploding and sometimes killing whoever was near them. The mechanics, the power that made the world go round, was being rapidly destroyed.
She blinked, like it was in the control of some being that she didn't understand…
------------------
Obi-wan and Qui-Gon finished. Obi-wan cleanly lopped off the head of Darth Maul with his lightsaber, breathing shallowly. In front of him, Qui-Gon Blinked and fell face first. All around them, blue shapes were attempting to murder a single man dressed in all black.
" The force is in Turmoil."
They both knew it.
Obi-wan turned away from the body to Lauren, whose attention was focused solely on them, rather then the chaos they existed in. Anakin had blacked out, Amidala was bent over him…showing concern for him almost as if he was her husband-
" Something's very wrong." Lauren's expression was pale, the rain had soaked her short black hair into thing lines, coming down the side of her face, her green eyes were wide, staring at the things around them.
" Why?" Qui-Gon said almost casually, " we defeated the Sith Lord, now the council can come, the republic can send a fleet-"
" That's not it." Lauren gulped," Not it…"
Chaos and Anarchy raged.
" Besides this?" Obi-wan found him strangely calm, wondering what was making him so, " It can be fixed…"
" No…"
" Why no then?"
Lauren looked at Qui-Gon, then at Obi-wan, then at the Things. A woman named Jill Valentine, from a video game, shot the head off of another blue thing. The man in black was smiling, stepping away from the carnage…
The blue things had started killing themselves…
" For one thing Master Qui-Gon…" Lauren was Cynical, " You were supposed to die."

Okay, you probably think I've taken some liberties. If I have, I apologize profusely. It makes perfect sense that if the stories and entertainment, which is a very large part of our life, went totally wacko we'd probably have problems too. Remember, there's a problem that Lauren's going to help fix. Flame me, critique me, review me please, that's what writings all about.
It'll all be fixed, it's just like Iago said in the " Return of Jafar"
" You'd be surprised what you can live through…"
I look forward to you reviews…(please review! You won't abandon me now will you?) And Chapter five will begin soon. I'm on a writing Kick write now…(even though I have a paper due.UGH!)
