A piece I created for my game using :icondariofish:'s newest sci-fi armors (thanks for making them) I merged the two and added some old V4 stuff to create this assassin.
In the world of Galaxy 5 assassins still exist and with things as wild on the frontier zones as they are after the Millennium Wars they are in high demand. Killers come in all shapes and sizes but true assassins are specialists in the art of stealth and murder. Often using a wide array of methods to strike at their victims. Some assassins form guilds or groups the most famous of which is the Oni ninjas. The Oni are not simply assassins but shadow ops masters and one can only hope to receive training from their masters. Other groups such as the Shadow Walkers boast special powers that give them an edge but most assassin groups are usually found by authorities or employed by legitimate governments. There are many corporations such as Yokazunai, and Tbreila Inc. who payroll their own private armies and assassins, such business is highly illegal as one might suspect but the rumor of such a thing alone keeps smaller competitors from causing too much trouble for those kind of larger conglomerates. |

| Andros Colony, just one of that many stops Obsidian makes in his search to find his lost wife. At a glance Andros Colony appears to be a bustling metropolis clean and pristine, a modern utopia, but this a facade. The colony is home to some of the worst organized crime head in the 5 galaxies. Sheltered by Mega-Corporations who are in bed with them making billions of credits in drug trafficking, slavery trade, and Murder for hire. On this world Obsidian's reputation precedes him and many of the criminals here would enjoy seeing him dead. Information will be heard to get...but Obsidian will have answers and men will bleed to make that happen. |

Harley receives a transmission from my old friend Panterra, who claims he's killed me, so immediately I head to his location to sort the whole thing out. Obviously he's come across one my clones, and has mistaken it for being the real me. Not that hard to do when you consider they have all of my memories, but this one must have lost it's ever loving mind. Panterra is a powerhouse and his power armor gives him the strength to lift 80 tons, he's easily as skilled as I am and his Adamantine/Mythril armor is nearly as indestructible as my own. he carries a vast array of weapons as well. I wouldn't want to take him on unless I had no other choice.
Apparently Panterra was tracking down some downloaded data and ran across this loser and in the heat of battle inadvertently snapped the poor guy's neck.
When I transport in I can tell my old friend doesn't quite recognize me. In fact he looks kinda stunned.
He immediately goes into a fighting stance and squares off against me.
"Whoa whoa whoa, relax dude, I'm not here for a fight."
"He said the same thing. Then I guess he changed his mind."
I look down at the clone's corpse and I shudder. Panterra is no joke when it comes to hand to hand at that clone should have known better...Why would he do something that foolish?
"Look old cat, I can explain the whole thing if you just hear me out."
After a few minutes he's up to speed and a few scans from is equipment confirm what I'm saying.
"Obsidian, that is really messed up so this Nechronos guy is trying to what exactly?"
"We're not sure, apparently he wants something from the Black Mantis but nobody knows what that is exactly."
"Well I've never run into the Black Mantis so I'm really no help. In fact I came here looking for some missing Namaean scientists who were involved with some new kind of transport technology."
"I hate to say it bro, but I think those people are as good as dead, Nechronos doesn't really take prisoners"
I gesture to the dead clone.
"So I gather. By the way, If that was a clone of you, I'd work on my fighting style if I were you. He was very sloppy."
"Yeah well I'm a god now so... Besides those clones are a bit cocky and I'm usually full of trepidation and anxiety."
"Perhaps that's a flaw in their creation process?"
"Maybe but I am tired of running into them."
"Well if I hear anything or run across anymore of them I'll keep you posted."
"Sure thing pal."
"Good Hunting Obsidian."
With that he returns to his investigation and I return to my ship with the clone. No answers today just more questions...this is getting old fast. |

| A fearsome mean tempered creature, The Owlursus or Owlbear at first appears to be a hybrid between a bear and an owl. In fact the Owlursus is actually a close relative of the Griffin and Like it's cousin in now only an apex predator but and excellent flyer, despite it's great size. Owlursai (plural) are more than twice the size of griffins and on their hind legs can stand nearly 22 feet tall. They can be tamed and used as mounts but they are far more feral and one must be on guard from these beast's infamous rages. They are unharmed by conventional weapons and they withstand extreme cold without ill effect. They are as one might suspect Carnivorous but supplementing their diet with fruits vegetable and nuts or processed foods has been shown to reduce their aggressive tendencies and make them more amiable to training. Owlursai are considered Magical beasts because like all magical beasts they look nearly identical no matter what planet they are found on. |

| There are few beings in the 5 galaxies more feared than Obsidian Mask, and one of them is Cobalt Mask. Cobalt is a tank, he comes in hard and hit's like a nuclear bomb. Outfitted with a greater quantity of Absorbium 80 than his partner Obsidian, he boasts all of the same abilities and greater energy absorption. Cobalt's loadout often includes heavy weapons and prefers direct confrontation to stealth but he has been trained by Obsidian for both. Technically Cobalt could be considered part of the Ta'ahd ninja clan had Obsidian bothered to train anyone else. Obsidian also trained another partner, Crimson Mask however, crimson mask was eventually killed by a magical arrow which prevented and hope of resurrection. He is sorely missed. At this point the only thing worse than facing down one of these men is facing down both of them. Apart each one is dangerous, together it has been said that they have....issues, and that they might possibly be just a tad bit...crazy. For instance on one occasion they killed everyone at a client meeting in a dispute over relinquishing their weapons...the victims were potential clients. Fortunately for the Zero-Men the victims were also notorious gangsters and criminals so no charges were ever filed. They have only one rule about relinquishing weapons: "You can have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead fingers."...Issues. |

Okay this "God" thing is kinda cool but the power itself has some unique aspects, things you think you'd normally be in charge of just go according to divine will aka the power itself influences decisions based apparently on personality and well, I look like freakin Spydra. Same armor as I always use but with 8 creepy looking spider legs sticking out of my back, and of course as a demigod I can't create an avatar and after hearing what one of those really are I don't want to. I mean would you really want a remote controlled you? In any case I end up looking like some kind of superhero. The up side is I'm physically very powerful fast as well with a whole host of abilities I have yet to fully explore, but my little clone is in for one helluva shock when I find him, and here on Thrassa 4, a burned out planet that ended with a devastating nuclear war, I just might find my quarry. In the distance I see his fighter, and while I'm not sure what he's looking for here, I am certain that once I find him I'm gonna beat the answers out of him before I tear out his spine...Wow that last comment was uncalled for, I have to get a handle on these divine emotional outbursts...something bad could happen or worse yet it could change me...into something dark.
I set my hovercycle on a distant rooftop far from my quarries ability to detect, and then summon a couple of spiders to use as spies. With my new powers I can see through their eyes and hear what they hear like little spy drones. and they will go completely unnoticed unless they attack him...and they won't.
"Shadowveil, are you inside the structure?"
His radio is loud to a spider, and the itty bitty teeny tiny one on his shoulder is right next to it.
"Yes master Nechronos, I am searching for the relic now."
I shadow slide to where he is with ease, an ability that allows me to travel from one shadow to another and remain unseen. I find myself in the unique position of either getting the jump on him and taking my revenge or finding out what he's up to. I choose the latter. The spider legs on my back are not a show piece they are functional and allow me to climb effortlessly onto the ceiling unheard and unseen. As the imposter searches high and low I use spiders from everywhere to keep tabs on him. He reaches a vault and that's when I know exactly what I have to do next. Using my shadow slide I enter the vault and jam the lock, which won't stop him for long but a quick Forcewall spell should stop him form cutting through the door. once inside I begin EMT-ing everything in the vault, whatever he's looking for he won't find it in here today.I step back into the shadows and out of the vault. He looses his little clone mind and slashes the hell out of the vault door it fall to pieces before the might of my blade. I want it back and the instant I find out what he's looking for I'm taking it. as he starts to enter the vault I dispel my magic and let him through.
"Master Nechronos, the vault is empty. and it looks like it was recently...very recently"
He begins looking around and I know he's scanning for me but mortal technology is no match for divine power. After a couple minutes he stops to call his boss..again
"I have made a complete scan of the area, the time key is not within range. I don't understand master, I detected it here and my scanners are not easily fooled."
"Someone has obviously beaten you to the punch, return to base and destroy the building."
I see him reach for an anti-matter grenade (at least it looks like one) and I web the damned thing to his hand.
"What the?"
It's an ambush of the highest degree he is lost and as I web one foot, then the other, running circles around the room unheard and unseen. In mere moments he is bound from head to to toe minus one spot.
As I step from the shadows I use my spider legs to remove my blade from his belt and place it firmly in my hand.
"I don't know who you are you Spydra wannabe but you are seriouslly messing with the wrong guy. Drop dead."
The last time he and I met he chuckled when I said that, the noise that comes from my mouth is a total shock, to the both of us, and it scares the hell out me.
MWaaaaahahahahahahaaaa, ( did I just laugh maniacally?) this god thing has got to go. "That didn't work any better on me than it did when i tried it on you."
"Obsidian Mask, I should've guessed. Whats with the spider getup?"
As I command the spiders to crawl over him, I can't help but feel a bit smug...but I'm not stupid...I know he's calling for his ship...the spider hiding inside his helmet as much as told me so.
"There's no Obsidian Mask, you saw to that when you killed Moonshadow, I am Obsidian Spider now. God of Itrigue."
He is visibly shaking, I just dropped some knowledge on him and he's scared of the god-spider or at least that's what i thought, until he says...
"Moonshadow? I-I killed her? N-No I couldn't have, I l-love her....YOU LIE!!!"
Remorse? Could it be he was acting on instinct and didn't know?
"I'm afraid not friend, you took my sword and ran her through...and you are immortal."
"If I had killed her I would have gained her divine pow...ers."
"So you figured since you didn't get her powers you didn't kill her, and that her wound wasn't fatal? Well you were wrong weren't you skippy? You took off before the transfer and before she actually died. Her abilities were bestowed upon me as she lay dying. Feel good about yourself?"
"Nooo!!!! It's not TRUE!! I would never.."
"Never what? Do your master's bidding? How can you come from me and call anyone master?"
"You, don't understand..."
"Enlighten me."
"I don't have a choice, his magic compels me, I can question my orders but I can disobey them."
"Well isn't that just peachy? Of course that may not fly with the Black Mantis, he wants your boss dead...and you know why he's called "The Multiverse's Greatest Assassin" there's nowhere and no-when Nechronos can hide from him."
"He's actually pretty powerful himself, but there's more to it than that, he's infiltrated the Black Mantis's realm, that was how he got that sword to Razor."
"You mean this sword?" I ask in a sinister tone as I hold it menacingly close to his face.
"I take it that means YOU killed him."
"Ever so slowly too."
The memory of that now feels enjoyable, and for just a moment I can imagine doing that same thing to my doppelganger here and a smile crawls across my face...I catch myself and turn away.
"Slowly? You sound like you enjoyed it. That doesn't sound like me. Maybe your divine appointment is having a more profound effect on you than you can handle."
Faster than I can think or even comprehend I'm all the way across the room, and with less effort than it takes to swat a fly I put this guy through three walls. The next words I speak I am only barely aware of, I mean them but I don't want to say them.
"YOU!!! You have no right to speak of my burden as if you can comprehend what it means to bear it! I would rather have Moonshadow than her might any day but because of you this is what I have become."
A glowing red light fills the room we now stand in, I can tell he's seriously injured with several broken bones. They power corrupts, and I know what they mean as I lift his broken body off the ground with my monstrous appendages to hold him before me. Every instinct tells me to end him now, but a small voice in the darkness that soothes me to my very being, whispers "Hold onto the light." and what could have been a bloodbath ends with me tossing him to the ground like a bag of wet sand.
"The voice of my beloved has saved you this day. Tell your master we know about him and that we're coming for him. I grant you this clone."
With a wave of my hand I alter the magic that binds him to his master and I alter it just enough so that my blade is again mine alone.
"What did you do?"
"I took from you his compulsion. You will is now your own, live with what you have done and know that all that you know of your life is a lie, a shadow of mine, you are a sham and a fake. Make something of yourself or die I care not." Inside my head I hear myself saying "Who talks like that." This is getting out of hand. I shadow step once more and leave this broken elf to his own devices. I have much to contemplate now. |

| Bastet
Obsidian Sci-fi 2016/5/16 5:28
1856 1
| Every good ship needs a captain and the Sphinx is no different. Bastet however is no mere captain or commander. Bastet is a goddess, and the Egyptian god unlike other gods, have no avatars and appear in their immortal flesh. Bastet is a goddess of War, and a protector of the Egyptian territories which are not members of the IGFW. As divine beings mortal weapons and magic and even many superpowers, have no effect on them whatsoever. However, if someone should find a way to kill these powerful beings then these particular gods would be destroyed permanently since killing any god in it's native realm results in permanent death. This tends to make the Egyptian gods less tolerant of rebellions and uprisings and mortals in general. Though a few are incredibly arrogant, and what one might call "ignorant" of what mortals in the 44th century are capable of. Anubis was one such example and he paid with his life...his divine role is now filled by Chaz, Guardian of the realm of the dead and Guide of souls. A position Chaz is none too happy with but performs dutifully. |

| The Floamph are a race of Fungoids, they're tensile strength is far greater than would it at first seem. They are a tribal race and speak only their own language. They use indigenous giant reptiles called Silthrarin as mounts and beasts of burden. They live in small villages of 20-50 and like all types of fungi require damp dark places to thrive. They are hostile to outsiders when encountered. They are also highly susceptible to magics that affect plant-life. |

You nearly killed Bane when you shot him. I told you, that's not how we do things in Gotham.
Of course it isn't Bats, Let me see if I can figure out exactly how you do things in Gotham.
First you stop a guy who kills people, then you put him in a nuthouse where he's sure to be released in months rather then fried in the chair, but instead they escape time and again, and each time you go get em. It's like shampoo, lather rinse repeat. Tell me though, each time someone like the Joker gets out, how many folks does he kill? I bet you know exactly how many people he's killed. And every time he gets out he does it again. As many times as you had the chance to stop him once and for all, the blood of those innocent and not so innocent people are on your hands as much as his. Bane is no less dangerous, some of these guys are irredeemable like rabid dogs, and there's only one thing you do with a rabid dog, but I bet you're standing there thinking that you're better then me because you don't kill. Afraid that it gets easier every time...well it doesn't Bats, in fact it gets harder every time. You pray that the next guy you have to put a bulletin does something...anything...to give you a reason not to, but they never do. You though, you keep this never ending cycle going all so you can be the Bat. The end result is that the bystanders pay for your ego and arrogance, and on behalf of all those who could have lived if you were willing to cross the line when absolutely necessary...Fuck you Bats.
With that I leave and I will never come to this universe again. |

I wasn't comfortable with the dark skin at first, now that I have Moonshadow back in my life, I can live with it. She has made me her Scion, and imbued me with great powers, I can still shadow slide, and I am basically invisible in shadows, once every 24 hours I can know the answer to any one question I ask. I'm also incredibly strong and fast and now I can use shadow magic. Ever been hit by a Darkning bolt? It's literally sucks the life right out of you. Well we spent our first night together in a blurry whirlwind of passion and if there aren't a dozen offspring from the event I'd be stunned. First thing you have to know about gods is that they're very...fertile...though childbirth for deities can take nearly an form, in her case I try not to think that her divine form is a freaking half spider. We crashed at her father's place, which is so vast I can park the Lillun inside and lose it. Her Fathers place is a epic sized star ship 480 million miles wide by 24 million miles long and just as tall. I'm certain if this thing were to enter a system it would throw off the orbits of several planets. Inside of this massive ship are 3 Earth sized worlds held in place by massive gravity generators. I thought I was stunned by the Black Mantis's power until I was brought here...I never suspected. We're in a mountainous region on one of those worlds, and the view is spectacular, I begin my morning with some sword practice and after a few moments I can feel a pair of eyes staring my up and down like a choice cut of meat. and I smile because I know she's checking out my ass.
"Mmm good morning, my champion."
She throws her arms around men and hugs me from behind, the sweat from my workout is glistening down my chest and my breathing is already heavy, and I'm pretty sure it's turning her on.
"Darling, I'm all sweaty."
She inhales in deeply, and bites down on my shoulder and we're off again.
So after my second workout I call the Lillun, while Moonshadow cooks breakfast. There are really some things about this situation that are just off. Gods cooking breakfast and living in much the same way mortals do? It truly doesn't make sense. In any case Harley answers and I decide there's no time like the present to get the Justiciar thing out of the way.
Harley, I need you to contact Sathari prime and set up a meeting with you, me and Analaeus...
"Okay..." he says puzzled, "As soon as you tell me who the fuck you are."
Harley was never brought up to speed on my recent color adjustment.
"He He, sorry Harley it's me Mic' Aehl, I had a little mishap with the whole God of intrigue thing and this happened. of course Moonshadow is now back among the living and a second after i reverted back she redid this. Looks like I'm a dark elf from now on. That's part of what I wanted to meet with Analaeus, I can't continue as High Justiciar and I'm going to recommend that he appoint you, if you want the job?"
He looks bewildered at the onslaught of information and then asks
"Why are you stepping down?"
Here comes the part that I dread, because there's gonna be jokes. Looooooooots of jokes.
"Moonshadow has made me her Scion."
"Is that another word for..."
"Don't say it dude. You can think it bro but doooon't say it."
"So does this mean that you work for Him now too?"
"No but I live in his house hahaha."
"Okay bro, I'll set it up, in the meantime our comms are getting blown up by the clan asking about the wedding."
"Bah, I forgot all about that. Alright I'll com aboard and we'll set this up."
"How about a double wedding dear?" Moonshaow chimes in.
I'm only vaguely aware of the stupid look on my face as Harley bursts out laughing.
"Darling was that a bit too soon? Would you like more time to think about it?"
"No uh-I-um I've never been on the receiving end of a proposal before I'm just a little surprised is all. Can you marry your Scion?"
"As my Scion you have do as you're Mistress bids."
"Hmm as you wish my mistress, a double wedding it shall be."
I'm not sure about this but I do love her, and I know she loves me...so I guess we're in for a penny, in for a pound. Still I'm happy...now who do we get to perform the ceremony? |

After Moonshadow makes hamburger out of the two specialists (A sight that would give a mortal man nightmares) we finally meet with her father. Four foot three inches tall and deliberately unassuming this minuscule bastard could wipe out the entire galaxy on a whim if he felt the impulse to do so. I can't see his face behind that mask but I know he pissed at seeing me and with his eldest daughter yet. He's really pissed about that contract he doesn't like overlooking loopholes I'm guessing. Moonshadow wraps her arm around my waste and holds me tightly and if I could see the look on his face I'm certain it would be rage. She looks coldly at him behind her lenses and her voice sounds like metal through her mask. Her words frustrate him and I find out that he truly is a man of his word, and he gave his word to his children. "I know you have had dealings with this Man father, but you gave your word that you would never harm or interfere with anything or anyone that is important to me and that you would support whatever union I chose."
"9000 years ago I made that promise and this one was to be one of us...and while it looks like you have accomplished with romance what I could not through deception. Fine I will remember my promise. Obsidian, if you hurt her...I will hurt you...I will really hurt you."
"Father!"
"Yes dear, I know you are more than capable of hurting him yourself. Is this something serious sweetheart?"
Sweetheart? I am seeing a Paternal side of the Black Mantis I didn't know existed.
"No Father but it may become something he is after all immortal."
"Obsidian, you have been through two marriages, I hope if you decide to do it again it will last substantially longer than the others."
I'm confused, I didn't bring up anything about relationships and I'm feeling a bit on the spot. My words are a jumble of stuttering and idiocy.
"Um yeah of course, I mean we're not serious like that yet but if it er happens I um yeah."
Real smooth dumbass.
"Very good then, Moonshaddow I will see you soon I hope? You rarely visit and your step mother misses you."
"Yes father, and tell Raven I said I'll be by soon."
With that he actually raises his mask as does she and kisses her on the cheek. I'm glad nobody can see my mouth wide open because this is not the bloodthirsty Black Mantis I know.
Slowly I turn to Moonshadow, still stunned from what I just saw...I can only ask:
"Dafuq was that?"
Moonshadow just smiles (that million dollar smile that just makes me melt) and says
"Oh that? Well after you wigged out on me at my place I figured I'd ease your mind a bit with my father. Long ago he made each of us a promise that he'd never hurt us and that meant never harming anything or anyone important to us. You're important to me, I haven't met too many elves like you...there's just something different about you, most elves are so conceited but not you, and it's obvious my father sees it too or he wouldn't be trying so hard to recruit you."
"So you're only interested because he is?"
"No darling, but it definitely makes things more interesting and now you don't have to worry about my father interfering with your life anymore although he might want to go fishing sometime hahahahaha"
Her laughter is like droplets of rain and tinkling bells, is their nothing about her that isn't magical? Okay I buy it for now and just looking at her figure and listening to her voice is every reason to, I know what you're thinking but like I said before Luminesti cannot be enthralled.
"Okay lady, so where do we go from here?"
"How about we find out why those guys wanted to kill us?" |

The silence is uncomfortable so I muster up the courage and decide break it. Cheetah’s going to be with us till we find Panterra and I can’t operate under this kind of stress. I clear my throat, slightly embarrassed by how loud it seems and ask,
"We have to talk about what happened? I mean, I said I was sorry what more can I do?"
"After what you pulled, I am surprised you would expect me to say anything to you."
"Look Chee- Uh- Sarah, you know I never meant for us to get serious like that? I mean, I travel all across the five galaxies and you do the super hero thing here on Earth. I just don’t see how it would have worked."
"How can you not see? I could've…I could've come with you, I would have given up everything. I thought you felt the same way. Or were you just stringing me along?"
"I wasn't stringing you along. I just knew where this was all headed. We fall in love, settle down, and raise a family. Then eventually I get to watch you and them all grow old and die while I live on? I did that once before and I just don't have the strength to go through it again."
"I can't help that you're a damn Elf and that you’ll live forever. All I know is how I feel and I care very deeply for you. I though you cared for me too. Do you?"
I don’t answer I just hang my head solemnly, I do care.
“That’s what I thought.”
Her words sting like an arrow, and I have nothing to say because I know she’s right. She makes me want to grow old with her but that's an impossibility Luminesti Elves like me don't grow old, and unless we're killed we don't die either. This talk was a bad idea so I decide to go back to the awkward silence again.

The SS Lilun follows the SSV Normandy to a nearby MASS Relay, with their final destination being the citadel. The goal is to meet with the council races and possibly convince them that Obsidian Mask and his crew can possibly turn the tide of battle in the galaxy's favor against the Reapers.
Obsidian's fighter follows closely behind in stealth mode.
An interesting side note: I scaled the NOrmandy and the LIllun for this scene using their Docking port doors and it turns out that the ships are the same length. The Lillun obviously is much wider and has more upper and lower decks but basically they're both frigates of the similar keel length and roughly the same width.
For those interested the Lilun's docking port doors are located the the port and starboard of the ships hull and roughly dead center of the ship's mass in line with the main bridge and behind the main sensor arrays. |

What happened here? Answer me !!! I'm certain the Black Mantis would actually want me to answer him. The trouble with that is, he's choking the life out of me. I try to pry his fingers loose but it's a futile effort at best, I hear the servos audibly strain against his physical power and even my cybernetics start shorting out. Everything gets all snowy like when you're watching a video with poor reception. I always though this sonofabitch would kill me, I just didn't think it would be today. The whole world starts going black and his booming voice becomes a mere echo in the distance and just as I make peace with the end...
"Gaaah <hack> <cough> Wha, what happened? Am I dead?"
I'm surprised to feel air filling my lungs although m,y throat feels like it was massaged by an elephant.
"No, you're not dead Obsidian...not yet. You have much to answer for. For example, why is may eldest child lay there bereft of life and yet you stand before aglow with her divine might? Did you deceive her, just to become a god? I know how it's done, how do you think I gained my divine status?"
His voice is cold as ice and I'm more terrified than I've ever been in my entire life. He could have ended me quickly with a twist if his wrist but I don't think he wanted to or I'd be dead where I stand.
"I was attacked, she came to help, and she was run through with my blade."
I've never seen his face and I'm quite certain that the visage I see now is some kind of illusion but his glowing eyes feel as if they're burning a hole into my soul.
"If what you say is true then why do you have her powers?"
"The assailant didn't stick around, I doubt he knew she was a goddess. She died in my arms and told me this divine power was a gift and not to throw my life away but all I want to do is kill the bastard who took her from me!"
We hadn't known each other long but it felt like an eternity,a blissful forever, that was stolen from me by some cruel twist of fate.
"Why didn't you kill him? He was holding your enchanted blade was he not?"
Here's the good part and I'd like to hear his opinion on why this guy didn't die.
"I tried, I spoke the command phrase but nothing happened. All I know is that this guy was trained by my clan. The move he used to disarm me was created by them..'
"Why did you relinquish your blade?"
I thought for sure I could easily kill him using the sword's failsafe but it didn't work and all I got for my trouble was skewered. That's when Moonshadow showed up and this guy didn't miss a beat, he turned on his heels and ran her through too."
"There is only one possibility that would explain why he didn't die when you spoke the command...He is you."
"WHAT?!?!?"
I can't believe my ears, there's no way this can be true.
"He is either form an alternate timeline, or a clone."
"HOLY SHIT!"
The words ring in my ears as I remember Razor cutting off my arm. Yeah, that would be more than enough raw DNA to do the job. It would certainly explain how he just waltzed right in here without the alarms going ape shit.
"Wait a second, even with accelerated growth how could anyone make a clone that has my fighting skills?"
The Black Mantis reverts back to his diminutive self with a flash, and seems more somber now.
"It is possible though few besides those in my pantheon are familiar with the magics involved, one could create a clone that possesses all of the knowledge and skills of the original. However, it would still die from the enchantments on your sword...this is something else. As of now, I am formally requesting your assistance, our standard arrangement plus a bonus should suffice. I want you to find my daughter's killer and bring back his head and only his head. I also want you to find out who created him or how he came to be. If there is anyone responsible, I want to know who it is so that I might deal with them myself."
One name immediately comes to mind.
"Nechronos, that was the name of the guy who I most recently crossed paths with. He sent an old enemy of mine after me and that was how I lost my arm."
He seems puzzled at that last part, I guess he's not omniscient.
"Your arm? Yes that would suffice for a small army of clones, you may be in for more trouble than I first suspected. Let me see your arm."
I show him my cybernetic limb and he as I watch it materializes into an actual arm. I knew he do things like this but when everything we know says I have to wait to fix it and that I can't do it at all without Razor's sword, and then this guy just waves his hand I have to wonder...what the hell does he ever need me for?
"I'm curious Obsidian, why didn't you just repair it with cloned material?"
"Good question. It seems my old adversary used a mythril sword that not only prevents healing but can also stand up to my Infinitium sword."
"Oh is this so? I want to see this blade, show it to me."
I don't often say not to this guy and this is a simple request. I take him to where we're keeping the sword and as he walks into the room I hear him start to laugh.
"Hahaha, do you know what you have here?"
"No." I say stupidly
"This is not a mythril blade, this is an Infinitium blade."
"Um my scanners revealed it to be mythril."
"It was design to cloak itself from detection, I should know...I forged it and I enchanted it. However, this should be in my vault. Someone has betrayed me or this Nechronos found a way to steal from me. So be it, take this blade, it is yours now and will obey your commands as your previous sword did. They share many of the same powers save that this one is further enchanted to prevent healing of any kind. You are lucky to have escaped with your life. You can of course reverse the effects but you need to know the sword's name to do that."
"What is the sword's name?"
"Doombringer. I have bound it to you, use it well, but I will have it returned once you have yours safely back in your hands. Now onto more important business. YOU will need to learn how to use your divine abilities, and for that we must return to my realm. Incidentally, did Moonshadow ever tell you what sphere she was goddess of?"
"No. It never came up, and I didn't want to take advantage of her like that anyway."
"Oh didn't you? I believe you took advantage of her abilities repeatedly."
"No I didn't I only ever asked her to use your resources to help...hunt...down...Razor. What are you trying to say?"
"She was the goddess of secrets, Goddess of shadows, and espionage. In short she was the patron of spies, and intrigue. You called on her often, and I dare say that someone with your particular talents should be able to make great use of her powers. Her divine form was truly something to behold, half spider half dark elf. I can't wait to see what form you take. Come lets be off we have much to do and you have much to learn."
Yeah after that speech I'm getting rid of these powers whatever may be, at the first opportunity, but only after I've dealt with Nechronos, and my clone...how cliche is that really?

| The Gronok are a race of advanced dinosaurs, nicknamed Saurs (I nickname the despise incidentally) they are massive in stature towering at 10 feet in height or more. Their weight is equally impressive often tipping the scales at well over 1,000 lbs. Their technology is equal to the galactic standard and their 27 colonies are a testament to their highly advanced terraforming techniques. They are a peaceful species save for the more aggressive raptors who are short tempered and quick to take offense to even imagined slights . They are not fond of dragons or dragonfolk though there thus far is no apparent reason. Gronok females are nearly indistinguishable from the males save for their muted coloration and slightly smaller size. Gronk's are as one might suspect super strong capable of carrying loads weighing up to 3 hundred of pounds as easily as most humanoids would 30. The Gronok are one of the more newer species recently discovered in the five galaxies but they remain within the Andromeda borders. |

| Rock Trolls are immense creatures with durable hides like stone. Like their Troll cousins they can regenerate and severing a limb merely results in battling a second troll in mere moments. However, unlike their cousins they are NOT vulnerable to fire. they are however vulnerable to water-based attacks which can be used to dissolve them. The amount of damage greatly depends on the type and quantity of water being used. For instance a simple child's squirt gun would inflict damage equal to a simple firearm but a a weapon as powerful as a fire-hydrant would be much more effective killing the creature in mere moments. Rock Trolls can be controlled and tamed (relatively speaking) but do not make good pets and when found tamed they are usually used in a gladiator capacity as an execution method. Rock Trolls give birth only once in their lifetime via mitosis the newer offspring being half the size of it's parent. Rock Troll diet consists of sand stone and rusted metals these permeate their skin granting them a natural camouflage rating of 90% when not moving. Rock Trolls do not register on thermal or life scans making it nearly impossible for them to be detected on any given planet so explorers are advised to be cautious when exploring planets which would be suitable for Rock trolls to inhabit. |

As I leave Earth's star port I happen to notice a woman on the commuter who seems to be taking an interest in the shuttle's systems. Out of nowhere she makes a mad dash to the cockpit completely freaking out the pilots.
"You have to land this thing now!"
"What, the? Hey you're not supposed to be up here lady! Return to your seat now!"
Her response is one of legend as she knocks the pilot cold with a single hit and screams at the co-pilot.
"Land now or I'll do it myself!"
Taken aback by the the nap delivered to his partner the co-pilot complies. The second we hit the tarmac security swarms the tiny craft. Me and the crazy lady are pulled tot he side and detained, being armed to the teeth almost guaranteed I'd be lined up with her. We're escorted to the back of a paddy wagon and as they're about to close the door the starboard engine on the commuter bursts into flames. The crazy lady now looks a hell of a lot less crazy. I lean over and whisper.
"Did you know that was gonna happen?"
"Anyone with a brain knew that was gonna happen, the engine's harmonics were completely off for a type 218 Jumper, the acoustic frequency should be 480.3 megahertz but it was off by 30 megahertz and the most likely source is the plasma injector thermo-couple and since it was just the Starboard side that was off it was a logical conclusion that the starboard engine was in serious jeopardy. In fact the resonance was declining by 40 Megahertz per second while the pilots delayed. There simply wasn't time to tell anyone though."
"So you just took charge. So you could tell all of that by the way the engine sounded."
"Yeah my trainers in the academy said I had a gift."
"So you were in the military?"
"12 years actually to tell you the truth I liked it a lot better than this gig, just endless hours of going over someone else's work and tons of mindless paperwork, but what else am I gonna do? The military life just wasn't for me too many rules too many proceedures, they're just too rigid in how hey do things."
"What do you do now?"
"You see those guys overlooking the shuttle?"
"Yeah."
"I'm their boss."
"No shit?"
"No shit."
Sure enough the security guys discover her identity and come over to release the both of us, she's the only one that gets an apology though. I head to the new shuttle that arrives but before I do...
"Hey Miss? What's your name?"
"Sabrina, Sabrina Walters."
"Well Sabrina, I have a ship of my own and I could use someone as skilled as you. You think you'd be interested in being my chief engineer? The pay is god and you could run engineering however you see fit. Whadaya say?"
"I don't know, I don't know a thing about you and I my job pays really well."
"I see, well let me introduce myself then, I'm called Obsidian Mask, and..."
"The same obsidian mask that stopped Dominion? The same Obsidian Mask who's second in command of the Sathari Empire? The Captain of the LIllun?"
Her eyes are as big as saucers, and her voice is filled with excitement, apparently I'm a celebrity?
"Yes, that Obsidian Mask."
"I've heard about your ship, is it true you use space-fold generators? Do you really utilize magical components with the on board ship systems?"
Okay, maybe my ship is more famous than me.
"While all of that is true Sabrina I'm not captaining the Lillun anymore."
"Oh" she says disappointingly
"I have a new ship called the Sable, she parked over there."
I gesture to towards my ship where several others are docked nearby.
"That one there the big black one."
"That is a bit smaller then the Lillun, it looks fast."
"It is, and it has nearly all of the same systems the Lillun has."
"Including space fold?"
"Space fold, Hyperdrive, and Warp Rings."
"Wait, how did you get warp and hyperdrive systems to work without causing an intermix conflict in the drive cores?"
"Um maybe you should ask the engineers I have. Does that mean you'll take the job?"
"How much does it pay?"
I scribble a number down and her eyes get even wider.
"Are you serious?Is that annually or...?"
"No that's per month, just one thing."
"What's the catch?"
"You're bridge crew for all intents and have to attend all meetings for bridge members."
"I think I can handle that, You sir, have yourself a deal, I'll pack my bags and board ASAP."
"Good to have you aboard Sabrina, we depart in 5 hours."
"I'll be ready in 4."
We shake hands and go our separate ways, I start getting the ship ready for departure, I hope this woman is as good as she seems because I'm placing a lot on her shoulders. Still need to complete my crew the only positions open now are chif medical, Tactical, helm and science officer...I'm gonna have to go off world for the others I think. |

| The Sortail attempting to take the Rainbow Dragon's fresh kill is obviously a yearling...this is a mistake one only makes once. It would have been better had it been the dragon's prey instead of the bird. Rainbow Dragons neurotoxin breath will cause the Sortail's muscles to contract so violently that it will crush itself to death. The Rainbow Dragon will eat well today. Few people settle on worlds populated by Rainbow dragons and those that do fly regular patrols to keep the ferocious beasts at bay. |
