| The Prime Suspect
 Obsidian  Original Characters  2017/1/9 23:11
 1642  3
After discovering, that the guard was innocent and apparently did have a conversation with apparently the black mantis, I am worried about just one thing. If it was an impostor, how did it compel the guard to obey the order to allow the thief inside. The fake would have had to have current authorization codes and, (this is the real kicker) been able to wipe the records of said transmission clean. The more I dig, the more it looks like the Black Mantis is behind everything. He's the only one capable of this. I have to meet with the council, and explain my theories to them. But there's something in the back of my mind that keeps trying to tell me something, I just can't hear it. I'm missing something but what? As I wrack my brains thinking about it I feel a gentle pair of very delicate fingers on my temples. The circling motion easing the tension that has been building since this whole thing started. The touch is sublime and I feel calm like I used to when I was with- MOONSHADOW!
I leap from where I'm sitting and spin on a dime, and sure enough there she stands in all her splendid loveliness. God I miss her, but...
"Hello lover." She says with a seductive purr.
"Yeah, hey there. What are you doing here?"
"Oh as soon as you started looking into this whole mystery I have been near. It is after all in my domain."
"Right Goddess of intrigue. This situation would certainly fit the bill. So are you here to seduce me or lend a hand?"
"To lend a hand lover I would require and act of worship."
"I'm afraid my wives would most likely not approve."
"You're married now? To mortals again I presume?"
"No actually they're not mortal kin, they're Sylvanari Elves."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Do you know something I don't?"
"Darling..." she says moving closer until my back is against a wall and her lips are tantalizingly close to mine. "Of course I do?"
I can feel her breath on my skin, and I remember so much of our time together, but she's playing with me.
"What, um do you know?"
"Ah ah ahh lover, I am a goddess and I expect my due."
"Exactly what is your due?"
As her clothes vanish in a mist I want only to indulge her, but I just can't."
'No." I say calmly.
"No? Are you so loyal to your WIVES that you won't have me? I know about the little concubine demoness you keep. That is permissible but this isn't? Talk about hypocrisy."
"Aini, has my wives' approval. If you get theirs then I will happily indulge your every whim, but know this: They have the final say. It is that simple...and believe me I wish I could just give in."
"Now I know why my father has pursued you for so long. You can't be bought or bribed, you are honorable to a fault. It's a very rare quality, and he's an admirer of it."
"Honorable? No offense but your father doesn't strike me as honorable."
"But he is. He has kept every bargain he has ever made with you has he not? Keeping his word and obeying his rather twisted code is the very definition of honor."
"Okay, fine he IS honorable. Now if it's not too much trouble would you mind letting me get back to my dilemma?"
"Sure. In the meantime, maybe I'll have a talk with your harem."
"What?"
Instantly she's gone and I'm left with an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.
The next morning I ask the council members to assemble in closed chambers.
With Spydra at my side, I am understandably intimidated by the level of cosmic power in the room. I clear my throat and addressed the six assembles council members.
"I have nearly completed my investigation."
"Do you have any suspects?" Norjaguar asks.
"Only one."
They each look at one another and then Raven asks the inevitable.
"Who?"
"I can divulge that information right now but if my suspicions are correct you may all be in much greater danger than any of us first realized."
"How so?"
"I can't divulge that at this time, I can only say that you all need to remain together, no avatars, no simulacrums, no clones. No traveling of any kind and you must remain together at all times until this investigation is complete."
They all nod in agreement. I leave with a glimmer of hope and pray I'm wrong about what I am almost certain I am not. I have to return to the colony where this whole investigation started.

| Species Striped Felinus.jpg
Obsidian Original Characters 2015/2/18 13:58

| The Striped Felinus are simply semi-evolved cat people that still retain approximately 40% of their Animal features. They have a savage mentality but can be tamed and taught rudimentary languages and simple repetitive labor. Many of the feline species have kept them for more nefarious purposes such as sex slaves or just slave labor. In appearance the Striped Felinus resemble many of their cousins (with whom they can create viable, yet mentally limited, offspring) however they long possess sharp claws and fangs which they use to great effectiveness when hunting or defending themselves. To the casual observer the females of their species have short velvety fur and appear quite pretty at least as far as facial features and body shape go. They are incredibly fast runners and usually travel on all fours except when walking. They can climb even the tallest trees with supreme ease. They have no society and are loners with males and females only gathering during mating times. Females may have from 1-4 kittens with a gestation period of 10 weeks. Kittens set out on their own at roughly 11 months at which time they are nearly the size of their parents. Striped Felinus live for about 30 years barring physical misfortunes and illness. They are illegal to keep as pets without an exotic license and the worlds they inhabit in the IGFW territories are guarded against trapping. Captive bred Felinus are expensive but completely legal to own. It is important to note that this species possesses only animal intelligence despite how they might appear and have no deities to which they owe allegiance and so have no form of supernatural protection. Their homeworld of Nageera 6 is a paradise untamed by modern cultures and thanks to the efforts of conservationists has been designated a refuge due to the number of species unique to that world. |

| Emergency Council.
Obsidian Original Characters 2016/12/9 2:47
1640 3
The Black Mantis has assembled his Empire's high council and all are in attendance. The mood is grim because it is believed their old adversary Parata has been freed from the prison in which they placed him. The Black Mantis touched a button on a nearby panel and in the center of the table around which they have gathered, a small hologram of their enemy appears.
"If you're wondering why we are assembled just focus your gaze to the center of the table. As we all know I was attacked by someone who could only be Parata, My indestructible ship is sitting in our docking bay in a mangled mess. I've never seen anything that can do that to Infinitium, and there are no known weapons that should be able to. I have summoned you all here to our remote island base because it is the safest place I can think of. We have taken the extra precaution of landing this mobile base on the surface of a sun. Hopefully this will conceal our presence until such time as we can formulate a plan to stop Parata once and for all."
Beast, a massive lion faced man of nearly 9 feet in height looks a round the room at the assembled pantheon. He lets out a deep sigh and says.
"We beat him once before and honestly, I don't see the problem. Surely he knows we have to power to destroy him."
Reaver peers up through hid golden mask and adds
"He MANGLED Mantis's ship, and very nearly killed him." to which Raven adds
"He somehow stopped us from using our Eternity Crystals...There's no power in the universe that should be able to do that, we've destroyed whole galaxies with them, uninhabited but galaxies nonetheless."
Norjaguar Slamming his fist in the table yells
"How do we stand up to that? He mangles Infinitium, and can stop Eternity crystals! He knows our every tactic. I mean he knew where Mantis would be and was waiting for him. So how do we combat that."
They each look to one another, but to no avail then the Black Mantis speaks, slowly and calmly.
"I have taken steps to see to his defeat. I have an unknown element that we can use. Someone who has the element of surprise, but he's gonna want to get paid, and paid dearly. I am confident he can do the job, so the only question is...where do we draw the line? What are we willing to offer?"
As they stare at one another, their lives on the line for the first time since they donned the mantle of divinity they quickly reach a consensus. Without so much as a word they all agree that no request will be off the table up to and including their fabled crystals...Obsidian Mask need ask his want of them and he shall have it. As they adjourn their meeting Raven stops Black Mantis.
"Is there something I can do for you Raven?"
Removing his cowl he smiles softly and there's s light twinkle in his eye. Raven has seen him do this before and smiles knowingly under her own cowl. She can'e help but think to herself "He doesn't think that smooth grin is going to work does he? However, Raven is no swooning mortal and while the Black Mantis is pretty to look at he will certainly have to try harder.
"How do you know Obsidian can do this? Spydra informs me that he has a hard enough time keeping his house in order."
"He defeated Dominion, a man who was a hair away from possessing the power of Infinity Man, He's intelligent , resourceful, and highly skilled. More importantly, he has one of our blades, and his stealth gear is unparalleled. If he put his mind to it no one could detect him."
"I hope you're right because we're placing a lot on one elf."
"Hey, I'm an elf."
"So you are."
With that Raven saunters out of the room her backside deliberately swaying seductively. The Black Mantis takes note and very quietly says to himself "So...game on then."
Suddenly the entire island is shaken violently. An attack? The Black Mantis thinks to himself in disbelief. There's no way anyone found us. Activating a nearby viewscreen his worst fears are realized. A massive ship measuring miles in breadth and width, one identified as belonging to Parata's empire. In seconds the whole pantheon is asembled in the Command Center. The face of their long time enemy is displayed on the master veiwer:
"Greeting, Long time no see."
"Parata, something I can do for you?" The Black Mantis asks smugly.
"Yes Mantis, you can die!"
"The last time you tried that your head ended up in a box. Care to repeat the performance?"
"You were very fortunate last time we battled, that good fortune is at an end."
With that the island shakes yet again and it is clear that the island is in great peril
"I leave you all with this: Today I take your island, soon it will be all you hold dear, until you are begging me for death."
With that the massive warship turns and jumps to warp. The island however is in complete meltdown.
"Eject the core !" Mantis shouts in a panic.
Reaver shouts back "The hull's been warped, We can't eject!"
"What?"
"He only damaged the power core hatch! That son of a...it had to be on purpose. We have to abandon the island!"
"Damn it! Send the signal, all hands abandon ship!"
In mere moments the island that gave them refuge explodes with enough fury to cause the sun it was on to go super nova. Using the power of their Eternity Crystals they bind the life pods together and await for rescue, a rescue that will take the form a a vast armada of ships whose number cannot easily be counted. |

| Davros
Obsidian Sci-fi 2018/11/28 4:19
1634 2
Traveling through the Dalek base the havoc I wreak is indescribable as I litter the place with these cyborgs. Their so slow and lethargic I cut through them with ease. Their design is garbage I have fought many a cyborg, and usually, they're a vast improvement over their parent species. The doctor informs me (while offering me something called a "Jelly Baby") that Davros designed them. I tell the Doctor that I cannot wait to see this idiot savant and says.
"Davros is actually a true genius despicably evil yes, but a genius nonetheless."
"Um Doc, have you seen these designs? You should thank your lucky stars you haven't encountered the Maetricks they're fast, well armed and can take over any electronics they encounter. In fact I have an android tactical officer who would make short work of these guys. Piss poor designing."
Just then from behind me I hear a voice that says.
"I'm disappointed that you disapprove, but we do try to strive for perfection."
I spin on my heels and draw my pistol as fast as lightning leveling it at the origin of that sound. a one eyes cripple in a wheelchair that looks like the bottom half of a Dalek.
"Davros I presume?"
"In the flesh... so to speak" the doctor replies.
I'm not sure whether I should laugh, feel pity, or put him out of his misery so I defer to the Doctor.
"Hello Davros, long time no see, Jelly Baby?"
"I have you this time Doctor, you are surrounded and outnumbered. Give up this senseless struggle and return the Neutrino core that you have stolen or your friends will suffer."
"Well you see there's a problem with that, I don't have it."
"I doubt that you do not know it's location doctor, now tell me or your friends will pay the price starting with this one."
"Pfft bwaahahahahaaa"
The laughter simply escapes my lips, I tried to stifle it but this comic book, Saturday morning cartoon villain, is just too much.
"You find something humorous in my words?"
I stop and catch my breath it was a good laugh.
"Yeah, I do. Okay wrinkle puss, do you have any idea how many of these tin can I tore through to get here? What are these three for so you watch them die first hand?"
"Indeed, inferior Daleks culled from my master design the three you see here are- "
I dial up Phased rounds while he rants on and fire three quick ones into the casing of the Dalek frames. there isn't a scratch on them when I'm done, and the Doctor who has seen the carnage up till now looks shocked as Davros continues.
"You see these are the superior Daleks, they are perfection they are-"
"Dead, you moron. yeah, they're dead as doornails. I come prepared, and the Phased rounds I used work like a Neutron bomb. They only affect organics, like those found inside Daleks. Normal shields are useless against them as is normal armor. Now shut up before I put a very real bullet between what's left of your eyes. Doctor, did you want this loser for something or can I just Merc him?"
"Merk? That doesn't sound pleasant at all, what do you think Davros? Are you up for a good Merking?"
I'd do a facepalm but this isn't the time. The Doctor smiles widely and tosses a pice of candy into his mouth while Davros remains silent. Apparently he got the jist of what I was saying. The Doctor takes out his sonic screwdriver and approaches a nearby computer panel accessing the facilities mainframe.
"We can leave now and I do suggest we leave in utmost haste."
"You triggered a self destruct?"
"Absolutely."
"Do all the bad guys have those things? Thinks it's a prerequisite? Like all their fortresses have to have one?"
"Not much of a villain if they don't I suppose. Now let's hurry we still have to rescue Sarah and K-9 "
"Yeah they're already rescued, my team doesn't slouch."
"Color me impressed Obsidian."
"Indeed then this will absolutely make your day."
I give Davros a quick spin in his chair and shove him down the hall he came from as the Doctor waves cheerfully. I then signal the Phantasm to transport us aboard TARDIS and all just as the Dalek facility explodes ending Davros' plans for the time being. I'm not fond of letting megalomaniacs live but it isn't my show. I take the Doctor to the bridge and we head out to my Universe so he can help me with my dilemma...The Maetricks have joined with his old enemies the Cybermen. Good times.

Before you are the 6 deadliest and most overpowered characters I have ever created. Mostly they operate quietly from behind the scenes, manipulating events to suit their needs and making others do their bidding. Every so often one or two of them will step out from behind the shadows to reveal their existence, most notably the Black Mantis. A being who cares little for the lives and day to day activities of mortals and seeks only his own ends. depicted here are the remaining members of his pantheon. From left to right
Raven aka Spydraxis: Goddess of War, Mistress of Honor, the Spider Goddess.
Reaver: God of Death the Undead, lord of the underworld
The Black Mantis: God of Storms and Chaos and Multiverse's Greatest assassin.
Lord Beast: God of Beasts, God of the Hunt, The blood god.
Norjaguar: Lord of Shadows and Cat God of Stealth Knower of secrets and all things hidden.
Thunderbird: God of the sun and skies and all things that dwell in the sky.
They have faced foes that would make mortals tremble in fear and until recently lived in peace, but an adversary has arrived and will not be taken lightly. |

1634 3
I arrive in the city of Abu Mazar, a bustling metropolis with a population of about 1 million Solarans, and 2 million Egyptians. There are animal headed people everywhere and to blend in I use the holographic emitters in my suit to make me look some random person. with the auto-translation circuits it's no problem to appear to be one of the locals.
I ask around and find the LIbrary of Ptolemy is a massive stone building. Scans reveal advanced complex crystalline circuitry within the stones themselves a technology I have never seen before. It goes from home to home and is apparently used for everything from mundane household purposes to advanced security and weaponry. The Egyptians have even used it to create animated stone guardians. I'm impressed to say the least. I mean here is a society which looks rather primitive but in actually may be far more advanced than any I have ever visited. The stealth factor here is enough to make a ninja like me positively jealous. As I enter the library I am scanned repeatedly and were it not for the advanced spoofers in my suit I would've been busted the second I walked into this place.
Looking around there is a tone of art and statues decorate every inch of the place. There's a massive golden archway in the center of place which connects to the various alcoves of knowledge. On my right is an alcove which utilizes modern computers to store massive quantities of information and is connected to the Intergalactic web. Nice to know some things aren't made better with stone tech. I decide that will be my access point. The hard copies stored throughout will make it much harder to find what I need. Hopefully they've stored digital copies on these mainframes.
As I turn to make my way to the alcove a beam of energy streams past my head vaporizing some poor bastard who probably never did anything to anyone.
"Consider that a warning...Obsidian Mask!"
I've been made, how I don't know but the jig is up so I drop the facade and turn to face...him!
"I didn't know any of Abominous's lackeys were mentally challenged."
The large gray skinned man has a pair of Nagas with him and they look like tough customers. I don't buy into looks and rely more on what I know or can scan.
The Khopesh swords they carry have that crystalline circuitry throughout and as best as I can tell fire energy beam like the one that killed that bystander. They're not holding them like that though they want to cut me because they know from their master Apophis that I'm vulnerable to slashing weapons. Nice. I wonder if they also know I'm an expert swordsman with a nasty blade of my own. With my left hand I pull out "God slayer" and select the energy setting. The hum of the matter/Antimatter reaction within the blade is unsettling even to me. I mean it's hard to believe that that there's 35 billion gigawatts, the equivalent destructive force of a 275 kiloton warhead just vibrating away in the palm of my hand. it will destroy nearly any matter it comes into contact with. Unsettling is putting it mildly.
with my right hand I draw one of my heavy pistols and set it fire piercing ammo that's sure to drop the Egyptian god before me. Apophis is in for one helluvah surprise. The two nagas square off with me while Apophis watches. Khopeshes in hand, one male one female and both ugly as hell...I can't stand Nagas, something about being half snake gives me the willies. The female lunges first and I shoot her dead. She falls to the ground writhing as snakes tend to do. The males becomes enraged, apparently they were a couple, and reacts with emotion...a big mistake, one that costs him his life as I plunge my sword straight into his heart and out of his spine. Before he can fall I take a shot at Apophis who reels from the impact. AS the nagas eyes roll into his head and his limp body slumps to the ground I turn my full attention to the Egyptian God before me. He is the god of Darkness, which is similar to most shadow gods but he is no minor deity he's one of the heavy hitters. Unlike other gods though the Egyptian gods have no avatars so this fight is for keeps.
The room fills with darkness and he hits me with enough force to send me through the library to the streets below.
"Abominous sends his regards assassin!"
I land on my feet like a cat and he does not seem ammused.
"I thought Abominous was dead? No just took a brisk lava bath did he? I'll have to rectify that when I'm done with you."
"You think to destroy a god mortal?"
Mistake number one.
"I am the god of darkness and you do NOT possess the means to so much as scratch me!"
Mistake number two, and the more fatal one at that.
"You think so do you then come down here and face me coward, or is the god of Darkaness afraid of a lowly mortal and his blade?
Gods have a lot of pride, and they don't like being made light of. They have a need to make you respect their power and it drives them crazy when you don't
"Impudent worm!!! Feel my power and kneel befor emy might!"
A beam of dark energy hits me square in the chest and after my run in with the Maetriks I'm a tad worried, but my armor does it's job and harmlessly absorbs the hit. Apophis lands before me and we go at it. He's a bit weaker than me physically but he makes up for it in sheer speed. Then finally it happens....he jams his magical Khopesh right in my ribs. My left lung is punctured and I cough a bit of blood into my helmet. I grab his sword arm and edge my own sword closer. His Immortal skin begins to blister from the heat of blade and he looks confused. At the first touch of my sword he screams and the look of confusion is instantly replaced with terror. He teleports repeatedly but as long as I'm holding him he can't escape me. His strength is the only thing keeping him alive...but it isn't enough. I activate the nano irises in my gauntlets, the gauntlets which have been coated in Absorbium 120... The precious ore which can drain the very life from a living being and as begins to drain his immortal life his strength fails him and my blade plunges through.
As he feels his life end he looks at me bewildered.
"How? You are but a mortal...no mortal can fell a god."
I remove my helmet and as my ears pop he looks even more puzzled.
"Elf, an elf? No! Abominous what have you done to meeeee."
I feel his divine energy course through my veins as I become the new god of Darkness. It is REAL power far greater then even thet which I gained from Moonshadow. I begin to take on Apophis's physical characteristics and stature. That is when the others arrive. osiris, Nephthys, Thoth, Set, Anubis, Isis and several more whose names escape me.
Isis steps forward and speaks for the group as I regain my own appearance and heal my wounds. She's absolutely gorgeous and her voice is like a chorus of angels.
"Come with us Obsidian lord of Darkness."
A portal opens and we step through, the people of the city stare in awe. To see one of their gods is a rarity, to see all of them could very well mean the end of all things. Mortals...sometimes their so gullible.
I step a hall with a massive table and a chair for every one of the gods assembled including one for Apophis.
"What is this?"
I say not sure if they're accepting me or if they're about to chastise me. Osiris points his finger at me and says
"You have taken the power of Apophis and with it you must assume his duties."
I already knew that when I confronted him.
"And those would be?"
Thoth the god of knowledge speaks next and he sounds a bit worried.
"Well, that is the problem. Apophis had no duties, nor worshipers, nor did he have any responsibilities. He only wanted to destroy. We are concerned that should you keep his power, which is considerable even for one of us that it may corrupt you."
I don't like the sound of that...I have seen how that works in the past. A team I was with found an artifact and one by one it consumed them with it's power...it was...ugly. I was the only survivor..because I resisted the temptation...and killed the last of them.
"Fine then, I don't want this power remove it from me, find me one who is willing to take it and I will bestow it upon them."
"it is not that simple."
Isis adds,
"You can relinquish this power only upon your death."
"Um saywhatnow? I have no intention of dying any time soon."
Osiris speaks next
"ENOUGH!!! Our choice is clear. We must not let Apophis's evil continue. Obsidian you must die so them millions may live."
"Look Osiris, I'm not here to make problems and I appreciated the help on Namae, but I'm not dying for anyone, and if it comes down to it...I'm the only one holding a relic. I don't want to fight but I will."
"HUsband," Isis interjects placing her hand upon Osiris's chest. "What if we could seal his power so that he has time to grow with it, rather than wield it all at once?"
"I can live with that Osiris, can you?"
"SO BE IT!!"
The next few days are spent with Thoth devising a spell that will shackle Apophis's power within me until such time as I master each one...or until I die. My first power will be the ability to summon seven demons (Like I don't have enough problems with demons) who will serve me faithfully. I can return them at any time, and the demons may be of any class, even demon lords. afterwards I will have control over serpents and serpent beings...ugh I hate gods for just this kind of crap...I don't see a need to use any of these powers in the foreseeable future so for now it's status quo. While I'm here though and I have Thoth's attention I ask him about the Maetriks, and get far more than I bargained for...they are ancient enemies of the Egyptians which is why Osiris came to me in the first place...they have a weakness and it is one I can exploit, and they also have a home...well more of an origin. But that's for later...right now I need to go home and rest...my family and friends are probably worried considering how long I've been gone.

1632 1
We make it back yo Kryllia Prime without incident, and I arrange to meet High Crona Hirzhak to collect our payment. I get to tell him his son is alive and well and the families of the fallen get some much needed closure. Hirzhak invites me to meet privately and considering he and I just made his goverment look bad for not even attempting what I just pulled off, I'd say it's a good idea to conclude this transaction out of eyesight.
"Obsidian," Hirzhak says with tears welling up in his eyes. "You have returned my son to me and I do not know how to repay you for that. 20 million credits doesn't seem like hardly enough to me. You and your courageous crew risked your lives bring back my only son. If you are ever need anything just ask and if I can make it happen I will."
"I was happy to do it, nobody ever wants to be given up on. I am glad I could reunite you with your son"
"Many others were not as fortunate, and we will have to make sure that those families are compensated and their loved ones recognized properly."
"Good luck to you sir. I hope never have to meet again under these circumstances. If you should ever require my services again you know how to reach me."
With that I transport up to the Sable and we head out for some much needed repairs. It looks like it's gonna be a quick trip to Space Station Nimbus and this time I hope I can get my hands on more Absorbium. I love being able to help others and getting paid for it is a real plus. However, I know that somewhere out there the self proclaimed "Multiverse's greatest assassin" has his eyes set on me, and it hangs over me like the sword of Damocles. |

I created this image earlier in the year but wasn't quite happy with it, something was missing and now that I'm at a point where i feel comfortable with my skills i thought i would recreate it.
Dakalfar like all of the Elven species are long lived and can trace their ancestry back thousands of years. Their Black skin makes them stand out among alien species in that no other species possesses this trait leading most scholars and scientists to believe that the characteristic may be rooted in magic rather than genetics. Like most Elves the Dakalfar are well suited to spellcasting, unlike their cousins however they are also predisposed to Psionics so it is no surprise that they comprise nearly 20 percent of all Psi-Mages on record. Natural abilities of Dakalfar are as follows: Nightvision (they see as well in darkness as most creatures do in broad daylight), Enhanced hearing (the ears of elves are not just for show), Enhanced Strength (all Dakalfar possess some level of superhuman strength ), Enhanced Agility (Like all elves the Dakalfar are exceptionally agile and lithe). Dakalfar possess technology equal to the Intergalactic standard their magical capabilities are equal to those of any Elven race and superior to most sentient species. Dakalfar have no known enemies but do not associate with other elves...it is believed that there was some sort of falling out among other elves but no Elf will speak of it. Dakalfar get along well with Solarans (humans) and can often be found in their company. |

Analaeus sent one of his high ranking officers to summon me to a very discreet meeting, but it really wasn't what I thought it was going to be. It turns out that an old friend, Ichio Tanaka, a namean who found himself in Sathari space. After barely surviving a tragic encounter with pirates that left the ship he booked passage on a floating wreck and his fellow passengers and crew dead he was brought to a medical facility. Once there he said his ship was attacked by "Anihilus the Traitor" but that is impossible since Analaeus IS Anihilus. I've been asked to go over the wreckage and interview the witness myself since this is all so close to home. I have to say my interest is piqued. The facility where Ichio's ship is stored is a massive starbase used for trade and housing far above a verdant world rich in natural splendor. A vibrant blue planet with no pollution and teaming with wildlife. There are sparse colonies located near the desert regions and those are the only areas allowed to be colonized. The starbase itself is massive as most are and is bustling with activity. Trade ships coming and going at all hours and round the clock shifts for the base's personnel. A couple of military ships remain stationed permanently to serve as guardians for the base and the planet below. The ship Ichio was found in is stored within in one of the larger hangars and have it under heavy guard. As we arrive we are greeted by the Captain of the S.I.S. Radager a heavy Sathari cruiser nearly a kilometer in length and armed as one might assume, to the teeth. The captain an older Sathari male with gray hair and a prominent beard is pleasent enough and my ship is expected.
"This is Commander Drenek of the I.S.S. Radager to Obsidian mask, welcome to starbase 374."
'Well met Commander, I am reporting as per the Emperor's request. My crew and I would like to get settled n and begin our investigation as soon as is permissible."
"UNderstood. Before you do however, the emporer has additional instructions that I have been ordered to deliver by hand only. I have prepared a shuttle to transport you to my ship."
"Um, A shuttle will not be necessary. We have spatial transport technology. I can be over within the hour. I can meet you in your main shuttlebay."
"Very good I will meet you there personally at 21:00 hours."
With that the transmission ends and my crew and I start making preparations for docking. I suit up and head to the transport room. As I step up on the pad I can't help but think that there's something odd about meeting the Commander in person. I am puzzled by the way Analaeus is handling this. I mean for a guy too busy to come to me personally he sure is giving this investigation a lot of personal attention. What with all the specific instructions. I give the signal and vortex chamber hums, a split second later I'm in the shuttlebay of the Radager. I have apparently alarmed the security detail who instantly point their weapons at me. It's almost funny but they don't look to be laughing. Ah good times.

At this point I have as much clearance in the Mantis' empire as any council member and nobody bats an eyelash when my fighter comes screaming through the main starport on a bee line trajectory for the palace. As I look down I see the place is surrounded but that the troops are holding their advancement. I leap from the cockpit and land just at the command station outside. Troops move aside as I make my way tot the palace entrance. The sounds of battle ring from inside and and the earth beneath my feet rumbles. As I reach for the massive palace doors I take note of dozens of dead bodies strewn about like debris in a storm. They never stood a chance against whatever is inside and I may not either but I have to try. I make a mad dash to the wards the explosions and gunfire and the closer I get the sicker I get bodies are strewn everywhere. Every defense in the place is torn to shreds. At the very moment my fingers touch the throne room door there's an explosion and my suit registers massive overloads in energy. My armor takes it bur it's not good enough. I feel the impact of the explosions even through this updated armor and I'm sent hurtling backwards. I'm stunned even if only for a few seconds but it's enough. I hear the muffled monologue of the Black Mantis.
"Yeah you got the skills , but I have done this dance before. Being who you are you know you're not the first to try this stunt. Though I will say you're definitely the most devious."
As I focus my visions I see the shape of another man dressed in the Imperial Black and Gold and when he speaks I cannot believe my ears. His voice is that of the Black Mantis himself.
"You know all too well what I am capable of and I have over a millennia to prepare for you, and believe me I have prepared well. Today you die and I WILL take back my throne!"
What? As I rise unsteadily, and my vision clears the scene is ghastly. The council members, each nearly as powerful as the Black Mantis himself have been tossed around like rag dolls. They all lay unconscious, but alive. Had this man killed them they would've simply moved their essences to a new body and been right back to battle completely refreshed. This way however, he has taken them out of the fight. In the center of the room on a pedestal is a large glowing blue gem roughly the size of a man's head which appears to be the source of whatever is keeping them down. It doesn't take much to figure out this is the guy who attack the Black Mantis the first time. However, now he's has everyone down. As the two combatants circle each other I can little else but watch. I look around for Spydra and find her not far from where I landed after the explosion.
"Kid, wake up. WE have to move back."
A quick scan of her injuries reveals a severed spinal cord and a several broken bones. Her wounds are serious but not life threatening, she'll be fine in a couple of days if we survive this. I start to lift her up and that's when I realize that the servos in my armor are about shot. She's not exactly heavy though so I manage. Returning to the room I am witness to one of the most epic fights any man has ever had the privilege of seeing. The form an grace of the Black Mantis and his foe move are something I will never forget. A thousand times I have wanted to knock that smug attitude from his face and only do I realize how insanely ridiculous that thought has been. As the two gods do battle the whole building shudders as does everything for miles. The palace itself must be very specially made otherwise the foundations would've gave under the first attack and we'd all be standing in a crater. My armor begins repairing itself and I start to feel a tad safer but I'm still hiding behind what remains of the massive pillars of the palace hall. Fire, Lightning, and magics more ancient than the Elven races themselves flies furiously, along with sword blows and martial arts skills I can't begin to describe. The two men are so evenly matched it's no wonder I thought The Black Mantis was behind everything. Then the monologue starts and I realize..he kinda was.
"You are a shabby imitation of the real thing pretender."
Yells Mantis smugly
"...and you're not the first to try this, I have put down clones, and shapeshifters, Magical mirrors and even versions of me from other realities you'll be no different?"
"Because I am none of those things. What separates us is not a dimension, or an inferior genetic code, or even an entire reality...what separates us is that YOU made it out of that worm hole and I didn't. Not for a thousand years, both Reaper and I both were trapped there and left to rot. But now MY Reaver, stands before you, master of death."
I'm not sure of the significance of Reaper, or Reaver or whatever name he's going by but what the new guy said has Mantis taken aback a little. Then the Black Mantis himself make the significance all too clear.
"What? Impossible. No one can defeat Death, I know I've tried. It's how I got where I ma today."
"You mean your Deal, where you know when the time of your death is coming? That's little arrangement was the first thing I took care of. It's why Reaver stands there silent and waiting. He's waiting for one of us to die! I took away your, MY greatest advantage and it was well worth it."
My greatest advantage? Clones alternate versions...By the gods...Is he? The Black Mantis? Some twisted version of himself? It all makes sense sure but how?
"Black Mantis you will die here today. There will be no more Black Mantis only the Black Scorpion will remain and I will be rid of you once and for all. I watched you for centuries, running this empire like a spoiled child...I couldn't believe that was me I was staring at...so at the very least I want to thank you for opening my eyes. I never realized how precarious my sanity was until I watched you lose yours."
"YOu think me insane pretender? I have made this empire strong, quadrillions upon quintillions of ships hundreds of whole realities are under my command. The powers I can bring to bear on any single reality..."
"Are ridiculous! Who needs that much power? Why? You're a power hungry madman and you play with lives lives as a child playing with toys. How many have killed for the sake of your power? How many lives were simply thrown aside so you could be the greatest?" billions, trillions? You stand on a blood stain that stretches across infinity. I ma here to end that."
Beneath my helmet my jaw is agape. I had never truly contemplated the level of Mantis's brutality. I never knew his lust for power. Sure I knew he had ungodly amount of resources and raw power but I never contemplated the lengths which he must have gone through to get it all. Surely he had to have killed people even billions which I was vaguely aware of, but trillions?"
"Hah! I have wiped out entire realities! You are hardly a match for me."
Magic flies from their fingers and erupts from every direction as they battle, my sensors are very nearly overwhelmed by it all and I realize I'm in a very bad place to be. It takes almost no time for my systems to reboot and I start making my way to the council members while these two try intently to kill one another. As I begin dragging the others to safety it occurs to me that they haven't unleashed any of their legendary cosmic powers. Power I know fort a fact they possess.
The battle continues to rage above and around me and while I'm sure it's not the case they seem oblivious to my presence. Either they don't care, or they don't think me significant enough to bother with...probably the latter.
I get the last of the council out and start to go back in then I feel a hand on my shoulder. Raven has come to.
"Obsidian, the Black Mantis. He's the one who attacked us."
"Saywhatnow?"
I am of course totally stunned by her words.
"He's completely lost his mind. Karr knew this and confided in us."
"Whadafug?"
"The Black Mantis has been dangerously unstable for countless eons. But recently, he's just lost it. It all started with you."
"Um...what?"
"You were like a prize...he wanted to see if he could get you to be like me and Karr."
"Who the hell is Karr? That guy in there going toe to toe with the self-proclaimed "Multiverse's Greatest Assassin? Is that who you mean? Why the hell does the Black Mantis even care about me? I have never understood that."
Raven removes her mask revealing a beauty I forgot she possessed, at once I forget where I am and can only see her eyes. She reaches up and removes my helmet. Her gentle hands are warm as she touches my cheek, and the pain from ten thousand years memories that comes next is so intense. I feel my head will shatter. Raven shows me the entire history of the Black Mantis and herself and the entire empire. I barely feel the tears roll down my face and I watch the atrocities he's committed in the name of POWER. I see time and again, the black Mantis fighting versions of himself that were often much weaker than he. He even somehow unlinked himself from time and killed his parents to assure no one could ever go back in time and destroy him, he has killed every alternate reality version of himself that he has ever encountered...save two. The woman who now holds my face in her hands...and....me? As violently as this vision began so too does it end as I recoil in horror at the revelation that he and I are the same person. With tear filled eyes I stare back at yet another version of..me? Raven, Black Mantis, Karr, and myself...all the same person? NO wonder, all these years, he was just using me as a game? That bastard, that complete wretched bastard! Save the universe? Of course he thought I could do it...over and over, and over....because with a little help I could be just like him. Or worse yet, was he just trying to see if I could become a threat to him? Was he weighing my fate...my very life in his hand?
"NO...no no no no no NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
I grab my hemet and put it back on...I may not be the one to kill him but I can watch ...him...die!.
As I walk back into the palace with renewed purpose the two men look exhausted...and are breathing heavily. It's a stalemate. Black Manits looks back at me and laughs.
"Well, Black Scorpion it seems there's one last card for me to play. Obsidian, do me the honor of finishing off this upstart."
"What?"
How the hell does he think it's even remotely possible?
"You have always been able to hide from anyone, and I have given you the power to destroy gods. use it and destroy this fake, pretender."
Mantis is right...as I walk towards the two nearly exhausted assassins...assassins...like me. In a blink I'm invisible, no one can detect me, by any means, I am the master of shadows with this armor, you can't see me, or hear me, no one can sense me, no danger sense works against me, no psionics, not even magic will give me away. Even mighty cosmic beings cannot detect my presence...Absorbium is wonderful. And as I plunge my sword through the Black Mantis's demonic, unforgiving, manipulative, wretched, evil, psychotic heart. I am pleased to say I'm the man who killed the Multiverse's greatest assassin.
"It's not murder when you kill yourself I say...it suicide."
Blood spews from beneath his mask, and he and I both know what comes next but I ca't let him die without knowing why. As I feel his divine power flow into me I lean close and through clenched teeth born of decades of him manipulations, and the loss I have suffered as a result of his whims I simply say
"Whatever made you think I would not turn my blade on you? I heard your exchange with this man...I know what you've done to get where you were..Raven was kind enough to show me everything you sonofabitch..Rot in hell. Just as the last of his divinity enters my body he lets out a chuckle.
"I always get the last laugh." He says as his body begins to fade away.
""NO!" Karr screams as he tosses me aside,
"I won't let you do it!"
But as he grabs hold of the Black Mantis's costume it's too late and he simply kneels there holding the empty suit in his hands.
"He's gone."
"Good riddance."
"NO mortal, he's not dead, he's done the one thing I was certain he wouldn't."
"What is that exactly."
"He ascended his consciousness and became one with the universe."
"That's a bad thing?"
"It means some day he may return, though no one ever has."
Well at least it's over...for now.

The vehicle pictured is actually a magical construct of notable power and is currently housed on a private space station owned by the Zero-Men. One might notice that Obsidian's armor is a bit different from the current design this is due to constant improvements made on a regular basis. |

We land as instructed and I tell the helmsman to keep the engines running. Harley, Ray, and I, along with Panterra, make our way to the gang plank. I am not happy about having been shot at and I intend to find out just what the hell is going on. I make the decision to go armed to the teeth it may be a “shoot first ask questions later” kind of day. Waiting for us on the platform is none other than Anihilus himself with a full complement of royal guards to meet us. I step off first, rifle in hand.
“What the hell is your problem dude? Is this how you treat your friends, asshole?”

| We all know we could be walking into a trap, I mean just because we’re getting a signal doesn’t mean he’s anywhere near it. In no time we're in, we step out of the vent just in time for a guard to spot us, but before I can even reach my gun Cheetah's on top of him sometimes I forget just how fast she is. The guard is only disabled even though she has lethal weapons available and I'm reminded of the fact that she's a hero and I'm not, because I would have shot him dead. I go into stealth mode and all weapons and gear get silenced. Thanks to the Absorbium 80 no sound emits from me or my gear. A handy side effect of the metal's properties to be sure. A push of a button and all the light gets absorbed too. There really isn't much this metal doesn't absorb. If it weren’t for the wiring running in and out of this suit I wouldn’t be able to hear or see a thing |

| After many tweaks and adjustments this is the final version of the inside of Obsidian's helmet..Iron-Man style...Iron-Man is sorta the standard when it comes to power armor characters and I've taken a lot of ques from that character when developing my own. I never wanted Obsidian to fly, as an aspect of his armor. Jump high yes, Levitate yes, survive high altitude falls yes, but not fly. flight indicates that your character is no longer street level and is ready to be a SUPERHERO and since Obsidian is a mercenary I couldn't do flight...now I have no problem adding a flight pack later which is perfectly fine. In that respect Obsidian is more like Batman...so think of him as a combo between Iron-Man and Batman. Sorry for the rant LOL No I'm not. |

| Skeletor Encounter.jpg
Obsidian TV and Movies 2018/12/21 15:07

The entrance to snake mountain is next to impossible to find and since time is of the essence I use a Phase portal to create one. I latch it to the wall causing a small section of the two foot thick stone to phase out becoming immaterial. As I step through it is very apparent that Skeletor is a man of mysticism a conclusion I gather from the decorations and paraphernalia all around the interior of this place. I decide to cloak and make my way cautiously through the interior. It's a room by room search and voiding inanimate golems starts becoming a thing. It doesn't take long to find the Mage responsible for their creation though. Dressed in cliche' black (I should talk) with a cape, she actually pretty hot looking in her weird looking one-piece bikini like bustier and gogo-boots. Nice look indeed but it's her staff that gets my full attention. Mages and their staves, I'm not sure why but they all seem to have one...and a wand or two.
"The witch appears to be Divining something and as I move closer, I realize I should've killed those three idiots when I had the chance. Magic is a great replacement for most technology especially where communication is concerned.
"Beastman," She bellows "Report, have you seen any trace of He-Man? Beastman answer me!"
"He cannot answer Evil-Lynn, Triclops is seeing to his wounds." Fish-head's response doesn't come as a surprise to me.
"What wounds, and why is your face covered in blood? Were you attacked by He-Man or has the imbecile fallen over his own two oafish feet again?" The contempt in her voice would suggest she's higher on the food chain than they were, makes sense.
"We were attacked Evil-Lynn but not by He-Man, some stranger in black on a black steed." Heh I love hearing what the bad guys say about me. It's amazing the details they leave out to save face.
"A stranger you say? Not He-Man? I must report this to Skeletor at once! See to Beastman and continue to watch for He-Man, Skeletor's plans must not be thwarted this time!"
"As you command Evil-Lynn."
Did she say Thwarted, Oafish? Wow. At least he's gonna lead me right to the head honcho. I follow her through the winding corridors making mental notes of the several traps she disables as she goes. There's a lot of them actually.
In no time we're in the throne room of what I personally consider biggest comic book cliche' in all of my 300 plus years, this has to top even Dominion. The skull-faced (not sure how functions with that) blue-skinned muscular man sits upon his dragon motif throne, staff in hand (Yup I knew he was a mage). Nearby is a rather large Dark purple Panther whose fur looks like velvet in the dim light. I get the name now Skeletor... I'm gonna be ill if I hear one more pun-name. The big skull-faced man turns to look at his fellow mage (A trick to be sure considering he's got no eyes.) and addresses her with the same disdain she addresses his men with. His nasally voice is annoying at best as he speaks.
"This had better be good Evil-Lynn, or Panthor will dining on with-legs tonight."
He name the Panther...Panthor. Yup I'm gonna be sick...I might have to kill someone.
"Might'y Skeletor, your men have been attacked!"
"Then He-Man is on his way?"
"No sire, it was not He-Man but someone new."
"Great, a new hero who makes my men look like the fools they are. And who is this you have brought with you?"
He can see me? No eyes, he must have another way to see me... Damn
"What, who?"
As I de-cloak I select an animal tranquilizer and get ready for the big kitty to do something stupid. The look on the witch's face is priceless.
"You? Who are you?" She says as she raises her staff.
Nope, I shoot her first. Sleep tight sister. The nano-injectors see to it that she's not overdosed as she slumps to the floor. Skeletor cackles maniacally as he rises to his feet. I'm certain he thinks he has the upper hand but I point my pistol at him and pauses. In a fit of bravado he says.
"You only get one shot fool, shoot me and Panthor here will tear you to shreds. If you shoot him then I'll destroy you mysel-"
I shoot the cat. He aims his staff at me and fires a bolt of energy, the impact does affect me for some reason but the energy is absorbed
"Okay skull face, now that that's out of the way..." I tap the selector on my pistol and select my latest creation, an Absorbium 120 weave bullet it's special ability, It goes right through force-fields.
"You must be the stranger who attacked my men, it's clear now how you managed it. So did he-Man send you?"
These guys are really preoccupied with He-Man.
"No, but I don't reveal information about my clients."
"Clients" he says slyly "If you're being paid I can double whatever offer you've been made more than that I can offer you power."
"Are you serious? Do you think a Mercenary of my quality can simply be bought with a better offer?"
"That is how it works yes?"
"What about my reputation you retard? Who would ever hire me if I simply switch sides at the drop of a hat like that?"
"Join me and you'll never have to worry about working for anyone again. Hheheheheheee"
I put three rounds in the wall next to his head and I have his undivided attention.
"Y-you actually mean to destroy me?"
"Noooo. If I wanted to destroy you I'd level this place and leave you alive. I mean to KILL YOU. Assuming of course you don't answer my questions."
"Grrr Fine ask your questions."
"Don't get slick skull face, I'll know if you're lying and each time you do it, I'll put a bullet in you."
He looks concerned, and while I think he's playing for time I want him to know I'm not PLAYING at all. To that end I place a proximity mine near the exits. I explain what they are and how lethal they will be for anyone unfortunate enough to activate them.
I sit him in his throne, and begin my interrogation.
"I'm looking for She-Ra and you are my prime suspect. Do you know anything about her recent disappearance?"
"What are you kidding? I have enough problems dealing with He-Man why in Eternia would I want to add Hordak's problems on top of my own?"
"Hordak? Word is he's YOUR former boss. I'm guessing that he may have asked you to do him a favor?"
"Get real, I want nothing to do with Hordak, he can rot on Etheria for all I care and good riddance if he does."
"Okay then why the watch for He-Man?"
He hesitates but I twist the gun in my hand and he thinks better of it.
"It's too late for anyone to do anything now but if you must know I have recently come across the means to take over Castle Grayskull."
With that revelation he taps a little but on his throne and I'm dropped into a pit. with the speed of thought I flash a new feature installed into my armor, a jetpack that slows my descent enough to save me from being skewered on the spikes at the bottom. Now enraged I kick the gate that separates this place from the rest of snake mountain. I hear several explosions and chuckle somebody thought I was bullshitting about the mines. I hear a commotion above and the sounds of battle... He-Man has arrived. |

The specifications for the obelisk were very exact and I'm happy to say he was quite pleased with this image. the lighting was very important and it has become the thing i am best known for I suppose but that's because I obsess over it and nowadays i have it down quite literally to a science. |
