Boundary Forest

After the sun of the World went supernova Nintendofreak managed to transport all the characters involved in the fight (and for the sake of not making characters again anyone who wasn't) billions of years into the future. Now it might seem strange to go into the future seeing as how the planet was destroyed after the supernova, however the sun did not collapse back in on itself in the explosion and therefore did not generate a black hole ensureing that a new star could be born. Now a new set of planets revolves around a new sun. One planet in particular shares a parallel planetary development to the Original World. This "New World" is inhabited by many of the same creatures as the original however history has developed differently. What new adventures await our heros? Only time will tell.

[Nintendofreak]

Looking up in the sky, Nintendofreak saw the sun perpetually increasing. "Holy crap," Nintendofreak said, "We have to get the heck out of this time." With speed and dexterity, Nintendofreak activated a bunch of controls on his Power Glove. "Alright everyone, get relatively near me if you want to live." At the very second every one was accounted for, he activated his time travel device. He set it for the place instead of the time, he wanted to see if he could land in the past of this dimension and stop this from happening. There was no guarantee that this would work however, but he wanted to try, this may be his last chance to explore the powers that Aura could give him.

And with that, everyone left in a *VWOOP*.

Eventually the group found themselves in a forest that resembled the one Nintendofreak appeared in the first time. Nintendofreak was sure that everyone would be tired and very disoriented from their first exposure to time travel. He made the rounds and talked to everyone regarding their condition.

"Looks like everyone made it through alright, now to see where, or more precisely when, we are."

VWOOP? zeph asked as he came to, what exactly just happened. In all of my life I don't believe I have experienced this. I am tired which is odd because I never have to sleep. Also who exactly are all of you, all I remember last is being hit then darkness.

*for right now I am going to post higlis under my profile if that is ok before i make a character sheet for him*

"GADS, where am I. This isn't azeroth. Well wait it wouldn't be since it was destroyed not long after I went through the portal." a pained look comes across his eyes. "Why did I have to be such a coward and run, I could have fought (still died, but would be a hero in the remaining few) but I ran." looking to the distance he see a party of adventurers who for all he knew have been there longer then him. ((in all actuality they all appeared at the same time, since the portal kept Higlis in limbo until the time was right for him to be let out, either that or Nintendo's time warping affected the limbo in a minute way)). Either way he makes his way over to the group to greet them.

((<.<.......>.> yeah sorry for the whole not starting and all got kinda sidetracked for a bit....... right on with it then. Since earlier this weekend I've had a bit more motivation for this. For the sake of time I'm going to be controlling DB, Kyosuke, and some NPCs for this I'll try to make it as clear as possible as to who is doing what))

Dangerboy was running through the forest heart pounding, he had managed to destroy all but one of his pursuers but he was quickly running out of stamina. Suddenly there was a loud noise and a flash of light in a clearing ahead of him, and once the noise and light had passed he was able to pick up a large amount of fighter aura, from the size of it he guessed a good sized group of organics. Even though he didn't know who or what he was running toward it was the only chance he had of getting out of this alive. He mustered up the last of his strength and made one final sprint into the clearing.

"Owwwwww!" Kyosuke moaned. He had apparently been flipped upside down and dropped on his head during the time Vwoop causing the damage meter of his HUD to exceed 60%. "Tck, crap if I take to much more damage I'm going to have to go into a forced shut down." he announced to the group. "How's everyone else holding up?" However before he could get a response from anyone a young man carrying a large ax burst into the clearing and ran straight into him making Kyosuke fall flat on his face and the unknown man tumbling into the middle of the clearing. Kyosuke began to get up, he was really struggling now, he got himself up on one arm still on the ground. The number on his HUD now read 68% "Oh that's just fantast uhff!" just then another unknown burst into the clearing stepping on Kyosuke's head and forcing it back into the dirt raising the meter to 70% and causing an automatic system shut down to start what self repairs his systems could deal with.

Dangerboy let out a quick ow as he recovered from whatever he had run into, it felt like a ton of bricks. He looked back and saw a mysterious robot lying on the ground trying to get up, however before it could get up one of the robots that had been chasing him had stepped on his head. It was the leader of the group that was after him. It was big at almost 9 feet tall, it's armor plating was red, white, and black, on its head was a large horn and on it's right arm a giant metal stake. The robot looked around at the gathering of people and his target. There were several of them more than he would be able to handle. He then looked down at what he had stepped on and noticed it was a fellow machine, it was badly damaged and had been shut down. He bent down and hefted the fallen machine onto his shoulder, pointed his stake directly at Dangerboy and said "You will not be so lucky next time." and vanished into thin air.

[Nintendofreak]

Nintendofreak looked at the new arrival who had seemed to be in danger from the now retreating giant robot.

"Should we go after him? Well, wherever it is that he went, I mean he did kinda steal our mech friend there. You seem to know more about whats going on around here than we would, my name is Nintendofreak, and honestly, I'm not quite sure who everyone else is here. We only met just recently."

Nintendofreak extended his power gloved hand in a gesture for a hand shake.

"As you might guess, we aren't from around here, heh."

[Ashador]

"It doesn't really matter if your from around here," Dangerboy said in bewilderment "You should still know whats going on, the war has been global for over 20 years." He looked around and could tell that they all very seriously didn't know what was going on. "Well alright I suppose I should explain the situation then," Dangerboy sat down on a near by tree stump and began to tell his tale. "Almost 25 years ago now a war was started between two groups known as the Organics and the Collective. The Collective are a nation of autonomous robots headed by a single AI known as Primus. Primus was originally supposed to be a control unit for all the robots across the globe, however it somehow became self aware and developed the notion that all creatures of flesh needed to be eradicated. Using its control over robots it was able to coordinate large scale attacks on major cities without warning, everyday electronics became killing machines in an instant, since humans were the ones with the machines in the first place most of the other races in the world thought it was just our problem but fighting quickly spread beyond our borders and thrust every intelligent living race on the planet into war. For the last 25 years we've been fighting a losing battle but now with this ax, and the other weapons like it we might finally be able to turn the tide of things. So now that I've explained what's going on here why don't you people explain to me where you came from that you didn't know that information already."

[Nintendofreak]

After listening intently to the ax-wielder's recount of this time's history, Nintendofreak replied, "Before I truly begin, I must tell you that all of us have different stories. You see, I am a time traveler. Being a time traveler and time being the fourth dimension, time travelling means I also travel across dimensions. I know for a fact two things, that this dimension is the same as the last dimension I was in, and that this is not my native dimension. Here is what I know of the previous dimension I was in (the previous dimension being where many of my fellow compatriots are from). I arrived in what seemed like a hostile state of affairs there, much like I apparently have now. Upon meeting up with this group who was being fought by someone very powerful, the sun of that previous dimension went supernova. I managed to transport all of us before we were all consumed in the reaction, but I don't quite know where I transported us to, aside from this being the same dimension as the previous one we were in. Essentially, your time could be before or after the time we were all in previously, I'm not sure. For more information regarding where we all came from, ask the other's here. You mentioned that the robots are all part of one group, so that huge red and black robot that was chasing you is a part of this group. How can we get our fellow back that he took with him? Or is that not quite possible at this time?"

Nintendofreak checked the display on his Power Glove.

"Crap, I don't have much more energy left after that last VWOOP, I'm not sure if I could be of much help to that mech guy anyway."

Nintendofreak turned again to the ax-wielder, "Oh, you never mentioned your name."

[Ashador]

"The name's Dangerboy," he said as he hefted the ax onto his shoulder "This is Armads," he said moving the ax slightly on his shoulder to show what he was talking about, "and right now it would be a good idea if we got the heck out of here, just because the robots are gone doesn't mean it's safe out here. Everyone can have their chance to explain themselves when we get back to my base camp." at this he turned around and began to walk out of the clearing he stopped near the edge and turned back to the group, "Oh and about your friend" he said "you might as well forget about him, if he was a robot and that big one took him where I think he took him then he is probably already one of them." After that he turned and continued to walk back into the forest.

[Nintendofreak]

"Heh, 'Dangerboy' eh? That's a pretty cool cat bad name."

As the group followed Dangerboy, Nintendofreak caught up to Dangerboy to inquire about something he had mentioned earlier.

"You said that until recently you had been fighting a losing war. Could you tell me more about these weapons that have so drastically increased your odds? It might be of some importance to the previous dimension I was in. When I first visited the previous dimension, I overheard a legend being told by the townspeople of seven artifacts that were incredibly powerful, but they were only thought of as a myth. How many of these weapons are there or do you know?"

[Ashador]

((Mmmmmm three month hiatus tastes like tacos, you heard me TACOS!!!!))

"WELL," said Dangerboy as if there had been some sort of exceedingly long gap in the conversation," It's pretty much as you said there are 7 mythical weapons an ax, two swords, a spear, a bow, and two unknowns that are said to be more myth and legend than any of the others. All of these weapons increase the abilities of the wielder and can change somewhat to fit the style of that person, it is said that for the last two this characteristic is more extreme and that they only have corporal forms when they are being wielded. Since before the war with the Collective a group known as the Syndicate had been searching for these weapons for quite some time in order to rule the world, they are also the main reason I want to get back to camp there is no telling when they might try and get Armads for themselves. Other than that there isn't much I can tell you right now. We are almost to camp now I am going to have to go talk to my superiors and brief them on the situation. In the mean time I suggest you go talk to the Doc if you need more info about this place he's the local scholar. I'll introduce you to him before I leave" As he finished his explanation they stepped out onto a small dirt road just wide enough for two cars to pass one another in one direction the road continued on into the forest and in the other there was a large compound enclosed in a chain link fence full of small tents and makeshift buildings and soldiers scattered about. "Well ladies and gentlemen," Dangerboy said as he turned toward the group. "Welcome to the Allied Organic Forces forward base camp a.k.a Suicide's Paradise." He then turned and lead the group toward the main entrance.

[Nintendofreak]

As they entered the complex, Nintendofreak noted any place that seemed of interest to check out later in order to learn more about what was going on in this time period.

"Not to sound condescending or anything Dangerboy, but this place doesn't seem much like headquarters for anything, much less the headquarters of the resistant force against these domineering mechanical fellows. I must say that it does impress me though, as y'all have held your own for a fair amount of time to have actual buildings constructed and maintained."

It seemed to Nintendofreak that this complex was much bigger than he initially thought.

"Now, aside from the Doc, what other main places of interest are around in here? Will we be able to speak to anyone, or would it be best for us to see your superiors as well before anything else? Not quite sure on how people feel of outsiders around here, normally when I first enter a new time or dimension I lay low and do research on the local history, culture, and customs before I do anything else. Not only does this better prepare me for blending in, but it also gives me something to do while my equipment charges."
