Here is the OOC Section for questions, comments, concerns, etc.: http://www.everypony.com/forums/showthread.php?17470-The-Lone-War-(Out-Of-Character-Section) Ideas... what are they? Are they just a simple thought in our mind, or some form of imagination? Yes, it is. Idea is the imagination and thought that help create a foundation on what we build, what he see and think. Ideas throughout the years have created many great ordeals throughout history, and the most terrifying. From forging the greatest kingdoms, to the birth of new civilizations, but to war and territory, and to the greatest weapons of mass destruction. As humans, we are the most dominant in this realm, but there are others far beyond this one where we have species upon species of different races of creatures surpass us, even realms where we are all equal or do not exist. These ideas are what help our imagination, the very material that helps us create universes. Oh the great travels that we have encountered, from stories to myths, to adventures and to chapters. But our new discoveries will be rather in the console. We have gone through many realms or games looking for the right one. There are those that that help carve our Destiny, those who help bring the Darksider out of us, even can form a Halo above our head, or those that can cause a Mass Effect. This one story we are about to hear is one we will make ourselves. Two universes will crossover, and will compete for not to be victor, but for survival. It had been two hundred years since the last of their wars, ending at the same time. Legends had turned to myths, and a new legacy shall unfold before us. Go, and forge your legacy. (This is just an introductory, you guys go ahead and post on. As soon as you post there will be a turn system created going in order. I took my turn, being your journey. Oh, and the crossover part will come soon, I promise, but lets go with everyday lives shall we? Please be a little detailed, at least one to two paragraphs, one for the most. Oh, and sorry for the pokemon-like introduction.)
Saber was walking around one of the ships of the turian fleet, being the one that had almost all of the ground and special squadrons. He had been working of perfecting his auto-turret. He lately have had some problems with it, he didn't knew why, but he was about to solve it. "Now, this goes here..." He said to himself as he worked in his Omni-tool on it. "There we go..." He said once he finished. The ship he was in was a small one, almost as small as the one that the famous Commander Shepard used in the times of the war against the Reapers... actually, the ship was a replica of it. It was made thank to the help of one of Sheppard's companions, Garrus. Thanks to that, and some help from the council, they made that kind of ships standar to special teams thanks to how useful it was during the time of the war. Now, in this time, seeing this class of ships was common, but the amount was really small. The register shows that there are only 5 in existence because of the difficulty of making one and the lack of available materials needed to create one. But anyways, since he was the higher ranking officer in the ship, it was almost as if he was the captain of it.
Marcus stood on the bridge of the UNSC battle cruiser The Defriender. Multiple Elites were on the ship since the Human-Covenant treaty. "Make the final Preparations for the drop from Slip-space captain and make sure the guns and Mac Canons are prepped. Better to be safe than sorry." He said to a UNSC captain. "Yes sir all weapons at full readiness preparing drop from slip-space in 3... 2... 1" With that the Defriender being the main battle-cruiser came from Slip-space into turian space. "Drop Successful." The Captain said
(Alright then, since LunarShield jumped the gun, might as well do so. If you are going to do something like this tell me before so.) There was a lone Cryopod in the high containment center where the most valuable weapons were. On the bottom of it, were words that were incrusted with a date, "2532." This was an old Spartan, one the first Spartan 2's that were around during the heavy impact of the Human-Covenant wars. He was there when it all ended, and odd enough, he had lived longed enough to see the Master Chief fade in time. The UNSC and ONI wanted to know what had happened with he Chief, but all this Spartan could say was that he moved on. A large battleship known as the Black Monarch jumped through slip-space alongside the Defriender, and into unknown air space. "Captain, we have a situation," One of the pilots said aloud in a concerned tone. "What is it?" The Captain asked back. "Sir, we had a malfunction with both the Black Monarch and the Defriender, and it sent us to some unknown air-space." "Bring it up on my monitor, have all weapons at the ready, have the Pelicans and Hawks prepped and ready to launch," He said, looking at the large monitor that was connected to a table. There was movement, lots of it, but it was not threatening at all. I would seem like transport and cargo frigates of some sort flying to and from the planet, several satellites being around it as well. -On the Turian Flag Ship "Red Dhala"- The pilots had picked up a reading, two of them at that, "Sir! We have two unidentified ships!" "Bring them up on screen." The commander said before the front window of the ship went black, and had shown two massive ships. They looked human, but of not any model that had been seen in history before. "Goodness Gracious, they are bigger then our Assault Carriers..." One of the Asari pilots said, her hand over her mouth. "Prepare all battle stations immediately! Notify any and all surrounding ships and fleets that we have!" "Yes sir!" All of the Pilots replied, turning to their Holographic Monitors and reported the situation to any and all fleets.
"Captain, we have a situation." A turian in the ship that Saber was said to him. "What is it?" He asked him. The turian lead him to the meeting room and showed him the alert. He played the recording of the holographic monitor. "So, two unidentified ships had entered Palaven's space." Saber said looking at a reproduction of the ships. They looked quite big for what he had seen. He thought the same as the ones that sent the message, they looked human, but pretty different to the Alliance ones. Who were they. "Prepare everybody, battle stations." Saber said as he went into the Star map. It showed a representation of the area in question, showing Palaven, the moon, all of the Turian ships and the two unidentified ships as it's current location. "Lower heat signatures and go into stealth mode." Saber ordered. "Yes sir." The pilot said. They slowly approached the ships to take a closer look to their capabilities.
The Defriender sent a mess "This is the Commander to the Black Monarch. Do you know where we are?" Marcus turned to an elite and said "Activate our plasma Shields and get the Mac Cannons ready." "Yes." It replied and ran of "I feel we may not live through this
"Negative, there was a malfunction with the Slip Space Warp Drives," The pilot said, powering up the shields and all weapons, including the Promethian Energy Shielding. "Get them on the monitor," The Captain said. "Yes sir," an operator complied, fulfilling the order. "This is 2nd Captain Nicolas Pride, what is the situation on your part?"
"Multiple Ships Disappeared from our Radar all weapons and fighters ready. I think they may have stealth systems." Marcus replied "My Spartan Team is also being woken from Cryo slumber."
Saber and his ship got closer to the ships to take a look. "Where are they from?" He asked himself. "We need to be careful. Get everyone ready." Saber said to his crew as they went to get their battle suits and got ready to fight.
"All Battle stations online luanch the Sabers and Longswords!" Marcus yelled and soon The Dfriender had it 300 escort fighter/bombers launched and ready for battle "Mac Cannons ready Sir," One of the officers said
(Hey, lets take turns here: There is me, then Prince of the night, then its LunarShield, if you have a problem with it then say so.) "All stations online, send out the Sabers, Hawks, and the Pelicans in a defensive position around the ship. I want all units on high alert, wake up the Spartans, Do NOT wake up Him." The captain ordered, the pilot calling out everything on the intercom. All units were prepped for battle, the MAC (Magnetic Acceleration Cannon) Cannons ready to fire, but keeping their charge. All Spartans were awoken and were undergoing exercises to help them get up to speed. After a while they would suit up, readying for battle. The lone Cryopod that had the date on it remained untouched, left there to collect age.
Saber noticed that they were prepared to fight. "Send a message to Palaven's fleet, tell them to get ready to fight." Saber ordered to a member of the crew. He saluted him and left to send the message to the fleet's admiral. After a moment, his companions where ready. "Good to see you all ready." he said to them. "Now, get ready for anything." he said. The ship was making circles around them in stealth mode to see what they were doing.
"This is the Defriender to all UNSC ships." Marcus started on a channel the Turians could pick up. "We have not won the Covenant wars to Die today. We shall fight! For Earth! For our Loved ones! FOR THE UNSC!" Marcus finished. (And sorry didn't know this was a turn based rp) sent from my phone using Taptalk 2
(Sorry it took so long, and its fine LunarShield,I should have said this before we started this.) "All stations online, I want all Spartans and ODST's active, all stations armed and prepped to the bone. Do not awaken 2532, that is to remain untouched," The Captain barked out the order to his crew men. Hawks, Vultures, Pelicans, and other air-craft vehicles of the kind were revved, the MAC(s) charging to be ready for fire. The outer guns on the Black Monarch were activated, whether they were manually online of automatically, they were built for heavy action. The troops on the inside began to ready themselves, putting armor on and light to heavy gear, having their weapons at the ready. The lone Cryopod remained untouched as ordered, but, something else was planned for it. It was made to be like a drop pod, just in case the ship was ready to be destroyed, it would drop from the ship when the latch was opened. An electrical fire started, the latch automatically opened, releasing the Cryopod from the ship. It floated in space, rotating slowly as it neared the planet.
"Errr... sir, we intercepted a transmission from one of the ships." A turian inside the ship said to Saber. "I want to her it." he replied. --- Transmission "This is the Defriender to all UNSC ships." "We have not won the Covenant wars to Die today. We shall fight! For Earth! For our Loved ones! FOR THE UNSC!" End of transmission --- "UNSC? Covenan? What the hell are those?" Saber asked himself. "Check for any information about them." He ordered. "Yes sir." A crew member said. After a moment he came back. "Intel is empty, we never heard of something like that." he said to Saber. "Who the hell are they..." Saber said to himself His ship kept moving around them still in stealth mode. The turian fleet was ready to fight, sending out all the fighters ready to intercept the UNSC forces if they showed any hostile activities against them.
(He usually doesn't connect on weekends from what I've seen, so just wait for him. Another thing, did you forgot about the rp of the elements of cacophony or you don't plan to continues it? If you are lost, I can explain you what happened so far in a PM.)
(sry guys) The defriender activated its shields and moved in to cover the Black Mnarchs 6. "This is the Defriender do you have any intel on these ships?" The defriender sent to the black monarch.
(I'm sorry.) "Negative," One of the pilots from the Black Monarch reported to the Captain of the other ship, "They have lesser defense from what I could calculate, we do not know of their offense what so ever." The Cryopod made its way down to the Turians homeward surface, burning up into the atmosphere .
"Captain, they had dropped something into Palaven!" A turian said. "Alert the ground forces and send them to investigate!" Saber ordered. The turian ships were getting into position, pointing their weapons against them and ready to fight, then got their shields up. After a few moments, various transport were send on the surface of Palaven to investigate what ever they send. They had teams of specialist and engineers to see what it was. "All our forces are ready sir." A turian said to Saber. "Alright. Tell me if a fight starts, we need to see what they are capable to do." Saber replied.
