[LordRazage]

Since I can't post this on the regular jumpgate forums due to my forum account not being activated (I log in but all the forums are locked. Nothing can be done since Themis dosn't answer their email)

I decided to post this here, enjoy:

Awakening.

Quanus spun slowly as it drifted aimlessly through space. The clouds casting huge shadows across the dark surface. Quantar Core Station standing as the enternal gate keeper of the planet faced it's gaping maw forward. Shaped has a giant cylinder it faced outward from the planet showing all travlers the artistic might of Hamalzah. Not a single entity was near either the station or the planet right now. The planet spun slowly in silence, it's secrets hidden below the forboding station nesseled in its cradle of asteroids. The lights flickering on the station to let incomming craft know it exists.

Quanus continues to spin, as it has for eons. However today is different, today the surface begins to turn glowing red. Starting off at the diameter of the equator and then slowly cracks move both up and down the planet. The cracks creeping to the edges. The screams of a billion voices fall on the deaf ears of space. The cracks continue to creep and in their wake the surface rips and gives way to the bright red color. The planet is now covered in the glowing red, it is afire. The fire continues to brew on the planet surface, cooking everything to cinders. Then it errupts, a flame lashes out from the planet. Immense and firy it flies right past Quantar Core Station. Escape pods launch but too late, more flames lash out in different directions, rapidly grasping at empty space then receeding to the planet. Soon one mighty flame lashes out, it strikes the station with the fury of a million warriors. The station stands no chance, it explodes in several directions, leaving a bright flash for a few seconds from the power core explosion. The escape pods too, are incinerated.

The planet finally, in one last burst of energy, errupts and explodes flames outward. These flames are not affected by the coldness of space, hotter then a hundred suns they fly out in all directions. Seemingly random, but actually calculated to precise vectors, they flail out to their destinations. One hits Tripoint Station, the other hits Corridor Station, both are destroyed. The planets too, are obliterated by the mighty flames. Again the screams of an entire civilization fall on the uncaring ears of space. The last fall has begun.

The next of the flames hits Hyperial Station and another rams into Hypsos shortly after. No warning, both are eliminated. Six more flames lurch towards Octavious. Six others for Solrain. Using the becon arrays, Octavious knows what has happened, they prepare for their last fight. Solrain attempts to evacuate what they can. The Octavians are incinerated with ease. The Solrain manage to evacuate some of their populations, but the majority is exterminated with the massive fireballs. The last survivors of the universe have no where to go. In a matter of a few years they too, are gone. The galaxy is empty once more.

LordRazage awoke, he glanced around. The room was empty, the mechanical wherring of station droids could be heard. The dream disterbed him, the events he dremt were the fabled last fall of civilization. When all collapses on itself and Hamalzah returns all creatures of being to himself. A disterbing dream, or vision. LordRazage was unsure. Where was he? How long had he been asleep?

He didn't recognize this place, this bed, this room. A place he had never slept had become his dormacile. Panic ensued when he saw a digital calander in the room. It indicated a year had passed since he last remembered. "Had he been asleep all this time?" He asked himself. He didn't know, he was beginning to go crazy, but then a calming sensation ensued. He felt something a presence within him. It was the most primal of sensations that it fed him. He had an instinctive urge, he didn't know what its purpose was but he had it. LordRazage stood up from his bed, he examined his attire, it seems he was in a quanter pilot suit. He felt that he had a purpose, he was unsure what it was but he just knew he had to obey this instinct. He hadn't seen this place before, he walked through the sliding door and wound up in a corridor. The sensation guided him, he let it take him through the hallways. No other person was to be found.

After a few minutes of walking, he arrived in the ****pit. He sat in the chair, it was familier, but he couldn't recall from where. He buckled the straps to hold him in and he somehow just knew what buttons to press. The monitors indicated he was at wake station, "Why am I at wake station?" he asked himself. He had no answer, he simply knew what he had to do. LordRazage inputted a course and piloted the ship out of the docking bay.

After some hours of flying and reflection, he arrived at where his gut told him he needed to be, Evenings End. The station floated lifelessly before him, however the station wasn't where he wanted to be. His hand raised and activated system scanners, he didn't even notice that his hand did this. Suddenly another station popped into view, this was the one he wanted to be at, Q.U.I.T. Temple of Hamalzah. He docked and the registry showed that this station was his. Odd, he had no recolection of a station.

LordRazage stepped off of the frieghter and saw an empty station, it had been ransacked by looters, no reason could be seen for this. It was barely functioning and needed some repairs. LordRazage knew it would be from here that he would start rebuilding the Quantar Faith. He knew he had to do this to prevent The Last Fall from ever happening. LordRazage placed himself in a courner of the docking bay, and began to meditate on the uncertain future.

Nice re-entrance story, LR (but you really should take advantage of the spellchecker Jump has here).

Hey, Jump -- I didn't know ***pit was a dirty word! (LOL). I think the profanity filter is overzealous.

[Pujol]

Great Story. Ienjoyed reading this very much.

[LordRazage]

Thanks.

As for the spelling etc... I wasn't sure if this forums spellchecker would be like hotmails. I also lost my copy of office in the reformat of my computer.

I think I should have just waited two days and proof read it. I'm going to copy and paste it into notepad, edit it and then toss it on the offical forums now that I can post there again.

Official forums? These are the official forums. That other place is just for Isvans patch anouncements.
