August 20th, 2207Session 161: Making up for Lost Time
Death Star's portal opens up in a strange hallway that seems to be decaying and is several years old. As soon as he, Katrina, Seraphna, Ariel, Cheryl, Hotaru, Emily, and the others emerge - along with Slasher carrying the perfectly perserved body of Snipe. General Cran, having traveled back with the others, decides to explore the decaying station to see if it's truly the Wraiths' base of operations - Origin. With the team exploring it, trying to reach the command room, they begin to learn it is indeed Origin, but something seems to have aged it considerably. When Ariel retrieves a hologram message from Dominator, they learn that Origin vanished for 24 hours, then reappeared in this shape. It seems it went to another reality for several hundreds of years before it returned back to the universe. After Cran forces the Origin Computers - specifically Chip - to do some work, the station begins to collapse, forcing the team to flee for their lives. They escape to Slasher's ship, which was contacted by Death Star, and they all get teleported over, while Cran uses a shuttle to escape - after he leaves Slasher a little present. On the disk is the files for Chip. Now the team has to locate the Alliance and learn just what became of the war.
August 22nd, 2207Session 162: Learning What Has Passed
The team has reached the Fury in order to meet up with Admiral Drake and Dominator. It seems that while they were gone, the Alliance has been slowly pushing back against the Tsivrixsh Forces for the past 7 years with little progress. As the Alliance and Tsivrixsh Empire warmachines have winded down to a grinding halt, it seems as if the war is at a point where either side could claim victory if they can find a weakness in the other. While Seraphna, Ariel, Hotaru, Emily, Cheryl, and Elayne head back to Lunarius in order to find out what happened to their fellow people, the others stick with Drake on a mission to get some action going. In order to get back into the feel of things, Death Star, Slasher, Drake, and Dominator attack a Tsivrixsh ship and raid it like pirates. Meanwhile, Slasher has the Fury freeze Snipe's body to prevent decay occuring on it.

After they get the information, the three of them attempt to get out of there when they raise some suspicions of the locales and get some mechs after them. However, they're saved when Garland appears, having been here for seven years training. After he dispatches the mechs for them, they all begin to escape the planet. With some fancy flying, they manage to ditch the Tsivrixsh patrols and escape the planet with the information. And it seems it has Eve's picture and information.

Once they arrive at the center of the base, they find a nursery for tons of Tsivrixsh children with human DNA mixed into them - and Eve as the mother. When they learn these children are Eve's and the Emperor's, Garland quickly begins to attack the children in order to kill them. Eve, haven fallen to her Tsivrixsh side, attacks them all, forcing them to battle her.

Using all of her skills, they manage to touch down in one piece and find an ancient Motenk temple with the device inside. Saying his goodbye to Cheryl, Slasher hooks himself up to the device and transfers his life to Snipe, bringing him back to life but killing Slasher. As Snipe gasps his new breaths of life, a mysterious figure shows up - General Cran has found them at long last.

As the two of them combine their strength to break through the Paradise hologram and uncover the real, ruined Earth beneath it, they find a hidden base that belonged to Crucifixtion, where they discover clones of Garland were being made - and of Sharlena. However, it seems that the clone of Sharlena and Garland might actually be the real ones - no one knows and that seems to be the point of Crucifixtion's last ploy. Deciding to bring the clone and Sharlena out of the base, Garland must decide what future lays in store for them - if there can be any.
September 21st, 2207Session 173: Preparing the Way
While they travel back, Snipe trains with Slasher and Cheryl, all the while learning about what has taken place while he was gone.

Blackjack, Garland, Diamondback, Siawase, Hotaru, Ariel, and Death Star set out to find the planet, but their troubles are far from over when they actually discover more than they've bargained for - not only have they probably discovered the homeworld, but a whole lot of trouble to boot. Session 174: Behold, the Tsivrixsh Homeworld!
September 30th - October 2nd, 2207Session 175: Climax Part One
The time for the final battle has arrived. Standing on the Fury's hanger, which has been emptied of it's entire crew except for the Wraiths and Admiral Drake's men, it's time to launch the universe's largest armada into the heart of the Tsivrixsh Empire and end this once and for all. Death Star's plan is bold - the Red Pirates will bring down the planetary shields, while the Alliance and half the Wraiths deal with the Tsivrixsh fleet, and the other half of the Wraiths will launch a ground campaign in the capital city of the Tsivrixsh Empire and kill the Emperor. The Tsivrixsh underground, led by Xrileshr, will assist them on the ground. Everything is in place, it's only time to say goodbyes now. Booster takes Katrina to the orphange, in order to protect her, while Ripple and Spirit wish their comrades good luck in their last battle. Even Paladin shows up to see the final part of the mission prepared. Everyone is gathered when ... A startling surprise comes about in the form of Slasher, Cheryl, and ... Snipe. The crew, overjoyed to see Snipe alive and well, rush to his side to welcome him back into the fold. Especially glad to see him are Hotaru and Emily as they hug onto him tightly. And with everyone present, the mission is launched - Snipe, Dias, Eve, Diamondback, Cheryl, and Kyouki launch a brutal space assault against the Tsivrixsh Armada in space, driving back the startling huge amounts of forces, while the Red Beard Pirates land on the station with the first set of planetary shield controls. However, once they arrive in the center of the base, the only way to take out the station is to self-destruct it with them in it. With one last shout of defiance, they detonate the station and take down the outer planetary shield, allowing Death Star's group to fly to the planet's surface. Session 176: Climax Part Two On the ground, Death Star, Garland, Ariel, Blackjack, Xrileshr, Seraphna, Hotaru, and Paladin blaze a trail through the Emperor's elite guards. As each of them are forced to battle closer and closer to the Imperial Palace, things begin to grow increasingly more dangerous for the ground team. However, once they arrive inside the Palace itself, they find their bodies increasingly exhausted and worn down with obvious signs of ready to collapse. And when a siege of elite soldiers come flooding in at them, Paladin sacrifices himself to take out the hallway and the soldiers in one fell explosion, allowing the others entry into the throne room. However, with their comrades dying in space, they have to hurry to the lower levels - but the Emperor himself in the throne room won't let them go without a fight. Ordering them to move on, Death Star challenges the emperor to a sword duel to buy them time to take down the last shield. Now the team has to hurry and locate it before it's too late. Can they do it? Session 177: Climax Part Three Back in space, Snipe, Diamondback, Dias, Slasher, Kyouki, and Cheryl desperately hold the line while waiting for the shield to come down. As they fight their way through, they find the shields going down, but in horrifying moment, the Fury, having taken massive damage to protect the Alliance fleet, begins to plummet toward the planet. If it hits, it will destroy the entire Tsivrixsh homeworld. Admiral Drake detonates the Fury in order to protect the planet, but a piece of it survives, forcing Dias and Snipe to chase after it and destroy it in space. However, one last horror awaits them when a platform with the power of the Ti'dah begins to activate itself against the fleet. It's up to two hot shot pilots to take it out, so Dias and Snipe zoom in toward the platform, planning on taking it out from the inside. While Kyouki, Cheryl, and Eve provide cover support, the two blow up the platform in the inside and they both manage to escape intact. On the surface, the death toll begins to come in as everyone gathers at the ruins of the Imperial Palace. Death Star manages to dig himself out, but collapses from the poisons in his system. Just as he's dying, a mysterious figure comes out and pumps something into him, restorting his systems for one last game. The figure reveals himself to be Xevil to the war weary fighters. After congratulating them on beating the Tsivrixsh Empire, he informs them that he has a Motenk powered Planet Killer heading for Earth and that he looks forward to one last showdown with them. Now the team has to protect Earth one last time and put an end to Xevil's ultimate plan.
October 4th, 2207Session 178: The End
He faked his own death more than seven years ago. He used the Galactic War to his advantage to further his plans. And now Xevil is about to put in motion a plan that will reap benefits ten years later. But none of the Wraiths know that and they are determined to stop him at all costs. Death Star, giving off no life signatures, comes up with a plan to cut off the Planet Killer and find out just what Xevil did to him that keeps him animated. Dominator, deciding that the Alliance can handle the peace keeping of the Tsivrixsh Empire, decides to go along. Garland, naturally desiring one last confrontation with Xevil, signs on for the battle. Snipe, ready for any challenge that will put him into direct confrontation with Xevil who poisoned him the virus years ago, is entirely ready to take him out. Slasher and Dias, both ready for one last rumble, step forward. Hotaru and Kyouki, determined to follow their comrades to the very end, follow along. And Diamondback, reeling from the loss of his father, is ready to give the Tsivrixsh a piece of his mind for the death of his friend Avatar years ago. As they inflitrate the Planet Killer, running through familiar halls to the one that attack Earth decades ago, they come across a familiar foe in the form of the Squirrel, who launches a series of attacks against them. Dias and Hotaru combine their attack forms to take out the squirrel, allowing them to move onward to the planet itself in the Planet Killer. Once there on the temple, a computer scans each of them and records their data for future use. After entering the final chamber, they come across Xevil, who pumps himself full of the material that turned him into Doom decades ago. Full of power, Xevil singhandedly begins to thrash the Hunters in the ultimate battle of their lives, tearing through them. As the weakened Hunters are batted around like flies, Snipe and Dias are the first to hit their inner power, unleashing it against Xevil with their full fury. Next up are Diamondback and Hotaru, unleashing their hidden strengths into him. Then Dominator and Kyouki hammer into him, weakening his body further. And finally, Garland powers up and hammerblows him away. However, the Planet Killer has arrived at Earth and the Motenk power source in the core will set it off at any time. Only way to stop it is for someone to leap into it - and that means someone dead. Realizing that he's the only one qualified because of what Xevil did to him, Death Star says his good byes and leaps into the Motenk power, being engulfed. As the team scatters to the surface to escape, the degranded Death Star, full of Motenk power, explodes from the surface, determined to kill them all. Now possessed by a Motenk, Death Star is no more. As the Motenk Death Star chases after them, the team escapes and leaves him to die on the Planet Killer. As the Planet Killer explodes in space, it seems as if their trials are over. However, Xevil's plan is far from over. Recovering the Motenk Death Star, his final plan is to set the heroes up for the biggest fall ever - a plan that will take ten years to complete. |
