The Sereni-Tree, the Immortals, the Octagonal Order, and the Harbinger of Darkness by TheRealMe

SR and Seryn stride purposefully towards the keep. SR finally breaks the awkward silence.

"It's called the dreaming stone, the Baroness' McGuffin. It's about the size of a small school globe and it's everything, as in everybody want's it for themselves and if we should get our hands on it, we can have anything we want, until someone kills us to get it. Yes it is a family heirloom of her's in that her great grandfather got it, by right of conquest and handed it down to her grandfather, by right of patricide. Then it wandered away from her family. In my humble opinion the best thing we could do would be to stay away from it or if we do get our hands on it then to leave on another planet."

"Very well, Snarky we need to arrange a litter for the mistress."

In very rapid order SR and Snarky begin assembleing a makeshift litter out of cloaks, ropes and poles. Seryn insists that they shouldn't bother. SR riposts that it's absolutely no trouble and it's the first chance he's had to tinker since he's touched hard soil. Seryn strenously insists that the litter isn't necessary. SR says that it's either tinkering or he'll be forced to take off his pants again and do more deep thinking. Seryn yields. The litter is lifted it off the ground with SR in the front and Snarky in back.

"Your transport awaits Mil'Lady."

Seryn climbs aboard and finds it quite comfortable, rather like a hammock on a sunny day.

Once underway again SR picks up on the previous conversation.

"In regards to the McGuffin I think it's vaue is best used at a distance. The shear knowledge of who posseses it is worth a fortune. What say we tell some one that the Baroness knows who has it? That alone will place her castle under immediate seige and keep her conviently busy so that we can be about our business. If we really want to mix things up we can then reveal to some one else that the empress's chancellor has it. That would turn the royal court into a blody free for all. In the mean time we could just make off with the finest space chickens on this continent from the royal stables. So what do you think?"

The silence is broken only by the footsteps of SR and Snarky.

"Darling?"

No reply.

SR looks back over his shoulder and sees that Seryn has fallen fast asleep.

The cave that had bore the ruined ships just a few days ago had been radically transformed into a lab briming with gadgets, gizmos, whiriy things and a machine that goes BIIINNGGG. Even the knights were a little shocked at the technology that had sprung from the evil junk.

"Bring her in" Wisp said to the knights as they levitated Krysta in her cage. She was very displeased with this, if she could had got to them she would have killed everyone in the room. "you see the ball thing in the rafters??? Put her in there"

The ball thing consisted of a wire mesh cage that separated down the middle surrounded by several ciruclar metal rings. When Krysta was secured inside, the rings began to spin like a gyro and several devices moved into place around the exterior.

"What happens now??" Sir Devan asked in awe at the contraption.

"Well at the minute im running Radiometric tests but soon im gonna takes some tissue samples and stuff and get you the results by the morning. Chill big guy the hard parts over"

Completely trapped in the network of Wards Major and Wisp's cage, the Immortal Krysta the Whisperer yelled at Wisp, her breath still frosty, her body still freezing.

He could barely hear her.

"We are not enemies, you and I. You are perhaps not considering some of the benefits of joining me. Let me out, collapse the Wards Major, and I will grant your greatest wish."

Seryn wakes up by bumping her nose against the wood.

"Are we there yet?" SR rolls his eyes "I'm sorry! Ok, can you let me out? I really do have an achy back now, let me walk, please?"

They eventually stop and SR helps her up "Ok, next big town, we need to think about stealing a dog cart or a palanquin or something."

She looks up at the keep, and casually loosens the carrying straps on the unweildy crossbow.

"Yikes"

She looks aver and kisses SR on the cheek, rubs her eys and returns them to the keep "By the way I think I heard a little of your plan, I think a little well placed chaos would be to our benefit. How would you go about it?"

Kei’s massive chicken hawk circles the Keep’s aerie landing softly. As Kei prepares to dismount, Sir Luc smacks him hard in the back of the helmet making his ears ring.

“Wha...??” Sir Kei asks in surprise as he removes his helmet.

“You great lumbering oxen!! I’ve been trying to get your attention! Your new ‘friends’ called out to you as we were leaving.”

“Indeed?” Sir Kei scratches his head “Tis Odd I did not hear them.” He shrugs his great shoulders.

“If you’d loosen that helmet…” Sir Luc grumbles as she jumps from the back of the hawk, landing with the grace of a cat.

“Let’s go.” Sir Luc grabs Sir Kei’s elbow directing him towards the door.

As they stride down the hallways, winding their way further into the keep, they pass the keep’s vast kitchen. Sir Kei skids to a halt, gazing longingly into the kitchen. Sir Luc, lost in thought, walks on a bit before she realizes Kei is no longer beside her.

Rolling her eyes, she turns back. “Why me…”

Again grabbing Kei’s elbow, she pulls, but this time, he was in no mind to move.

“Let’s GO!!” She hollers in frustration. Pushing with both hands, then both feet, then using the wall for leverage, nothing.

“Surely we have time for a little repast?” He says plaintively.

In the Sereni-Tree med lab:

She suddenly opened her eyes, and fought the urge to panic! She was submerged! What did she last remember? Was she in the middle of another mission, one that had gone bad? The water! Water filled her lungs!

No, not water. She exhaled, and breathed in the fluid again. The sensation was… disturbing, but the fluid seemed to sustain her. Was she in yet another lame death trap?

Carefully, she reached up with her left hand for the edge of the… tub? pool? vat? Slowly, with much effort, she pulled herself into a sitting position, her head and shoulders up out of the fluid. After her head broke the surface, she was overcome by a series of convulsive gasps as she expelled the fluid from her lungs and began to breathe air again.

“Ace! Welcome back!”

She blinked furiously, trying to clear her vision, get her bearings. Oh, Bride3 was standing nearby. Trey. Though she was tall and possessed reasonable strength, Trey lacked significant military training. Yes, it was only Trey. Kind. Caring.

Harmless.

There was another. SimonWho. The Doctor. Calmly sipping a cup of hot tea. Hmmmm… Many unknowns about him. Many. It would not do to let her guard down with him. He had demonstrated inexplicable abilities in the past. She did not like surprises. If she needed to take him down, it would have to be something swift. Sure. Infallible.

SimonWho put down his tea and checked some readings on his equipment. “Well, the process seems to have completed successfully.”

Process? What process? What had they done to her?

She took stock of her situation. She was sitting in a mysterious fluid, weaponless, naked, her long straight blonde hair clinging to her shoulders and back. On a nearby chair was...

On a nearby chair was a katana!

With a surprising burst of energy, Ace launched herself out of the vat and landed near the chair. Her wet feet caused her to slip a bit on the deck, and then her muscles trembled and gave out. She collapsed in a pile just out of reach of the blade.

Trey seemed concerned. “Ace, dear! You’ve been mostly dead for more than thirty threads now. Maybe you should take it easy for a while, okay?” Trey smiled, and shoved a small container toward her. “Would you like some popcorn?”

Ace muttered something incomprehensible.

“After she’s ready for a little walking,” Quincey said.

“So, what is she doing now?” asked Trey.

Jet peeked into the next room through a barely opened door. “She is sitting there in bed, talking to her toes, trying to get them to move on their own.”

“See? Crazy!” Bride7 announced, nodding with satisfaction. “Like I said she would be! This was all a big mistake!”

“Well,” Bobbie Sue ventured meekly, “she’s not any crazier…”

“Than what?” Bride7 demanded, arms crossed.

“Than… than she was before.”

Bride7 snorted in amusement.

Bobbie Sue perked up. “And who knows? Maybe by adding the Chemical X…”

Five faces turned toward Bobbie Sue. “Adding WHAT?” they chorused.

Bobbie Sue became embarrassed and stared at her feet. “Uh, I mean… Well… Ummmm… I need to go do laundry!” Bobbie Sue shot out the door.

Jet whistled. “Mixing Chemical X with the human genome can have many unpredictable effects.”

“Did you ever actually SEE any Chemical X?” Trey ventured. “What is it for?”

Jet grinned. “Oh, sure! I have vats of the stuff down in Main Engineering. It does wonders removing engine grease or polishing chrome! But as for its mutagenic properties…”

Jazaf!

Excellent! Bride2 will be pleased.

I suspect that you were inadvertently left back on Earth-That-Still-Is when the Sereni-Tree departed to the planet Zanzibar in its quest for giant firebreathing space chickens.

But not to worry! We have an extra-dimensional portal connected from the Old Clubhouse (which is currently the New Treehouse) to the Sereni-tree, so you can just step through. From there, it is a quick shuttle trip down to Zanzibar, if you'd like to come.

As the summary at the top of this thread states, many of us are on the planet Zanzibar, caught in the middle of a war between the Immortals and the Knights of the Octagonal Order.

The Sereni-Tree remains in orbit, currently under the command of SimonWho. With him are Mai, Serenity, Soul, their baby Seraphina, the Brides, Doris the talking Goat, Schwartz the Llama, the Yeti, and Sparky the Robot (sorry if I forgot anyone).

SimonWho has recently cloned Ace, Bride1. She was quite an expert with the katana, back before she was reaver-ized and slain.

We could try to round up some space chickens, get them aboard the Admiral Nelson, and take them back to the Sereni-Tree.

"So...is there any particular reason for me being here?" 13 asked Wil, the only Knight he felt safe speaking to.

The archer seemed to consider this, then answered: "You're a creation of the Immortals. I thought that we might be able to use you as a spy."

"A spy? Apparently, Wil, you haven't noticed the fact that he's a chicken in the full sense of the word," one of the female Knights said scathingly. "And he's colorblind as well!"

"I'd make a fantastic spy! Planting bugs, dropping eaves..."

"I'll drop your eave if you don't shut that beak of yours!"

"Perhaps if we give him something to do he won't be such a bother," Wil said, stroking his chin. "Right then. 13, I now pronounce you...honorary...assistant to the Knights of the Octagon."

"Wow! I'm an assistant Knight?"

"No, you're an assistant to the Knights. Entirely different title. It's mostly for show." Wil thought for a moment, and 13 could swear a lightbulb went off above his head.

"I know what we'll have you do! Go and meet with the band of strangers and...well, I'm sure you'll think of something."

13 bowed deeply. "Gladly. I would lay down my life."

"We hope," breathed another Knight. "A spy, Wil? Really?"

The night passed and the Knights of the Octagons took turns in watching The immortal. Wisp payed them very little attention and spent his time monitoring the results coming in tweaking dials on his makeshift laboratory and then napping againn till the next beep came round. The knights viewed both him and The immortal with equal distrust and contempt.

'How could Sir Devan allow a Techno-Heretic o much power and freedom??? He had already created a weapon that could kill anyone on this planet. There was nothing except his word that he wasntworking for the immortals and just sneaking in to get access to the technology to defeat the Octagnol order forever??'

Wisp meanwhile didnt notice the evil stares and continued his work in ignorance. He was nearly there. He was designing retroviruses to Augment the Knights magical powers so they could be just as powerful as the immortals. That combined with his army would crush them.

He was playing a giant strategy game!!

His plans were thrown a skew though when Sir Fesai was on duty guarding Wisp. Fesai stood at a respectable 6 foot with a wiry frame. His armour consisted of lightweight chainmail designed for speed and agility. He carried a Halberd forged from meteoirc Iron however he was the lowest member of the order. He was tired of This Child treating the order like fools and had had enough. As Wisp was in the middle of one of his naps he took his lance and skewered his terminal with all his might. Lightning flashed as wires were split and the terminal shattered, and the immortals cage fell to the ground.

The Man They Call Soul...

Soul walks into the room, an annoyed look on his face. Serenity asks him about the earlier alarm, but he waves her off, mumbling something about Rat, tubs of Spam, and the end of the universe. Then he sees the presents and brightens visibly.

“Presents! Who left these?”

“Jazaf.”

“Jazaf’s back?!?!?!?”

“Gee, are we excited?” Serenity asks with a giggle.

Soul grins. “Well, he does owe me twenty bucks.”

Soul grabs his present and rips it open, his eyes widening as he sees what lies inside.

“A backscratcher!! Sweet!! I’ve been needing one of these!”

Serenity gives him a weird look, and then proceeds to open her present in a much neater fashion than her husband. She lifts the lid off of the box, and her face instantly turns beet red as she slams the lid back on.

“Uh…I think we’ll look at this a bit closer later,” she says sheepishly.

“But what—”

“When we’re alone,” she says, a strange grin on her face.

Soul shrugs, oblivious as always, and begins to unwrap Sera’s present. Serenity pitches in, and once they open the lid, Soul busts out laughing while Serenity stares in concern at the items in the box.

“Soul, please remind me later to thank Jazaf for the very nice miniature katana baby rattles.”

SAFEAT2ND

Sir Luc threw up her hands in frustration. “FINE! Have your feast! Tis not my head that will roll for being late when Sir Devan calls.”

Storming out of the kitchen she pauses to get her bearings. Sir Luc’s ‘ability’ was that she could locate any of the knights, like an inner homing beacon. Each knight had their own special ability. It was rare to have more than one ability like Sir Devan. How she longed to have a more practical ability like Sir Kei’s ability to ‘call’ his weapons and armour. It didn’t help that he was also blessed with great brawn and a natural born fighter. How she hated that he didn’t take it seriously.

Sir Luc worked very hard to be a knight. She considered her ability to be weak so she tended to overcompensate in her approach to knighthood and her training. As a result, people came to see her as hardnosed and abrupt. She didn’t have many friends. Well, except for Kei, but that simpleton liked everybody. She constantly wondered why Sir Devan had chosen her.

Sir Luc looked up startled. While she had been deep in thought she had instinctively followed her inner beacon. She now stood in front of the door to the sacred chamber. What had startled her wasn’t so much where she was, but that the normally sealed door stood wide open and people milled about inside.

Stepping cautiously through the door, she is overwhelmed by the sight before her. The cursed technology was functional but what captured her attention was a cage suspended overhead.

‘An Immortal inside the Keep?? How was that possible?’ But before she can voice her thoughts, the cage crashes to the floor.

Soul! Come see Sera!

*Soul walks into the nursery to find Serenity proudly holding up her baby. Seraphina is dressed all in black; a little black dress and black tights. She has a pair of antenna on her head that she keeps trying to pry off. And she has bright coverings over her little wings.*

She's a butterfly! Do you like it? I got her dressed up for her first Halloween!

*Soul grins.* She's adorable! But, we're in space! We can't take her trick or treating.

I know, but we can take pictures. *Serenity tosses Soul her camera.* My mother will LOVE this. Oh, and I have to make sure to show her to Mai!

*Soul dutifully takes pictures and Sera finally manages to get an end of one of her antenna in her mouth.*

OOC: Happy Halloween everyone!

JAZAF

"There all settled beck in."
Jazaf does a quick check of the THREAD system to completely catch up.
"My, My. You guys have been busy."
Jazaf then heads out towards the kitchen to decide his next course of action.
"Jaz!"
Jazaf turns around and sees Soul walking to him arms outstreched,grinning from ear to ear.
"Welcome Back!" Soul says and engages Jazaf in a Bear hug, "Thanks for the gifts they're great!"
"Well you know, I would've gotten you some health insurance too but whenever I tried to explain your lifestyle the agents laughed me outta their offices."
Soul got a good chuckle from that.
"Well, I got to back to my wife and kid. Good to have you back with the crew!" Souls says as he half walks, half jogs back to his families quarters.
Jazaf's stomach rumbles and reminds him of his current mission.

*In the refridgeration room located just off the kitchen, he is found knee deep in giant feathers, having plucked the carcasses of several spacechickens. Utilizing block and tackle, a few carts, and a nudge or two from a helpful llama, the juiciest looking chicky is positioned nearby a massive cooking pot. After donning head-to-toe splatter protection gear, he starts up a chainsaw.*

This could be... kinda gory.

*Happily hacking away, he considers his next step: a garden... erm, requisition, for herbs and veggies and such.*

*bangs on the door of the refridgerated room wherein cozen hacks happily away at sp'poultry.*

cozen? When you're done butchering innocent fire-breathing bird lizard thingies, could you maybe come out? There's something I'd like you to see!

*Behind Serenity stands most of the crew (as is currently ship-board). On the kitchen table sits a large Death By Chocolate Cake surrounded by tasty treats of all kinds. The sideboard is overladen with gifts. And a large banner hangs on the wall pronouncing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE INFINITE GOOF!" and large and sparkly letters.*

Down on Zanzibar:

TheRealMe looked left. He looked right. Then he looked back at Jake7 and Jadehand (and Ash and LMD if they are still around).

"I could have sworn that we parked the Admiral Nelson right here!"

"Look!" Jadehand pointed down.

"Very large chicken tracks," observed Jake7.

"Huh!" TheRealMe added, "and this looks like impressions made from a shuttle's landing gear."

He pulled out his com-link. "Computer, give me the location of the shuttle Admiral Nelson."

"Acknowledged. The shuttle Admiral Nelson is in the main hanger bay of the Sereni-Tree."

"Huh!" TheRealMe quickly checks the pilot log. "Well, it seems that while we were occupied in the village, Cozen rounded up a couple of these giant chickens and took them up to the ship."

On the planet Zanzibar in the secret technology chamber of the hidden keep of the Knights of the Octagonal Order:

WISP wrote:
The night passed and the Knights of the Octagons took turns in watching The immortal. Wisp payed them very little attention and spent his time monitoring the results coming in tweaking dials on his makeshift laboratory and then napping againn till the next beep came round. The knights viewed both him and The immortal with equal distrust and contempt.

'How could Sir Devan allow a Techno-Heretic o much power and freedom??? He had already created a weapon that could kill anyone on this planet. There was nothing except his word that he wasntworking for the immortals and just sneaking in to get access to the technology to defeat the Octagnol order forever??'

Wisp meanwhile didnt notice the evil stares and continued his work in ignorance. He was nearly there. He was designing retroviruses to Augment the Knights magical powers so they could be just as powerful as the immortals. That combined with his army would crush them.

He was playing a giant strategy game!!

His plans were thrown a skew though when Sir Fesai was on duty guarding Wisp. Fesai stood at a respectable 6 foot with a wiry frame. His armour consisted of lightweight chainmail designed for speed and agility. He carried a Halberd forged from meteoirc Iron however he was the lowest member of the order. He was tired of This Child treating the order like fools and had had enough. As Wisp was in the middle of one of his naps he took his lance and skewered his terminal with all his might. Lightning flashed as wires were split and the terminal shattered, and the immortals cage fell to the ground.

The cage fell and shattered. The Immortal Krysta the Whiperer, Krysta the White, fell out and rolled around on the floor, body rigid and arms at her sides, still constrained by the Wards Major that had earlier been cast upon her by four Knights.

“Now, let’s see how Immortal you REALLY are!” Before anyone else could react, Sir Fesai strode up confidently and used his halberd to chop off the Immortal’s head.

“NOOOOO!” Sir Luc yelled.

Much of Krysta’s blood stained her white skin, white hair, and white clothes. However, as the head rolled away, there was a smile upon its lips and menace in its reddish eyes.

“The head is outside the Wards Major!” Sir Luc warned.

The head of Krysta blinked, and Sir Fesai instantly froze solid.

Stunned by the reception, he quickly strides to the cake and plunges his head into it, to hide his embarrassing tears of joy.*

On the planet Zanzibar:

TheRealMe shrugs at the former landing site of the Admiral Nelson.

"Well, perhaps we can find another way to make ourselves useful. Jadehand? Didn't you once say that to maintain themselves, the Immortals were probably using some kind of soul jars? What was the term you used? Could we find them? Break them?"

TheRealMe, Captain of the Sereni-Tree
