LOL. Perhaps if you weren't evil, you'd make a good ally. We both comtemplate random thoughts. XD

Yes.

Rspss Fr continues to watch Strato pace around the barracks, still giving his inspirational speech.

My page.

Malta walks into the room where Xion and Tia are sleeping. "Tia..." Malta sighs. Xion's tail twitches, and Xion wakes up.

"Morning..." Xion yawns. "That was a really good nap, even after a coffee." Xion holds Tia by her sides, waking her up. "Morning, sunshine." Xion says to Tia, who then mumbles something inaudibly. Xion carries Tia to his bed and lays Tia down. "Good morning, Malta." Xion says, approaching Malta.

"What were you doing with Tia?" Malta says, somewhat disturbed.

"Calm down...I couldn't sleep and neither could she. She came to my room in need of a conversation." Xion says. "Now, can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Malta says.

"About that chip that I asked you to put in your ear...did you push it down firmly?" Xion says reaching for Malta's ear. Her ear flicks backwards.

"Yes, I pushed it untill it hurt." Malta says, peterbed. Xion returns his hands to his sides. "Is that all?" Xion nods. "Now, I have a question for you. Remember Rain and Soala? Two members of your clan that have never come back?"

"I know that, they fell in the battle with Tangent." Xion responds. "There's been a revival spell going for a while now so they're coming back...In the plane with the Pylon. We cannot get at them nor can they get at us."

"Oh." Malta says, with a suprised look on her face. "Well...any plans?" Xion nods, uneasily.

If it involves popping in, retrieving them, and getting back in a fraction of a nanosecond, I will add 9999 damage defense turrets to the seige.

@ Risp: You won't have that page for long, because I'm about to *dramatic tone* REWRITE THE PAST! *dun dun dun, dramatic reverb*
Yes, I know that sounded corny.

Ignoring the randon thoughts spewed out by Past L_G, Future L_G explains what happened to Beth. "So you see, If I take myself back home in the past, then Strato will have no need to build a Pylon that prohibits dimensional travel, and I can go home. However, I won't exist anymore since I'm from the future, and since I will be sending you and past self back to Animenia, I will have no reason to exist in this particular timeline, since I will already be back home."
"...Phwee?" says a confused Past Beth.
Future L_G smirks. "I know it's confusing," he says, "I can't figure it out myself."
Future L_G looks around. "You two had better get going, or Strato will find us, and it won't be pretty."
Future L_G hands over the Interceptor II Capsule.
"That capsule contains an updated Interceptor," says L_G. "Use it to get home."
'NO! I REFUSE TO LISTEN TO ANYMORE OF YOUR LIES!!!' Past L_G calls out.
Past L_G has gone Insane!
Past L_G uses When the Stuff Happened! Past L_G is no longer Petrified!
Risp loses his Page 16!
Malta has a new hat!
Past L_G gets a Pringle Cannon!
Holding the Pringle Cannon, which is a bazooka painted to look like a Pringles Can; designed to fire massive Pringles at enemies, Past L_G turns to face Future L_G. "Well, this is unexpected," he says.
With a maniacal glint in his eye, Past L_G says, "No one touches my Gatorade! NO ONE!!!"
Before Past L_G can fire, Future L_G uses his hyper-fast speed to fly in and deliver a Vulcan Death Grip to his past self. Past L_G drops his Pringle Cannon into the mucky ocean.
"Micro Machines..." Past L_G mutters. Future L_G shakes his head and says, "He'll be alright," seeing the shocked expression on Beth's face. Future L_G hands Past L_G over to a Whiptail Crow who was part of Beth's platoon.
"Go back to the Shadow Realm, unpack the Interceptor II, and get of here FAST. I bet Strato and his army are- ungh?!"
Future L_G had just been caught in a big hug by Beth, tears welling in her eyes. "I don't want you to leave," she says sadly. "You're different than-"
"No," Future L_G says. "No, I'm the same as my past self, but he hasn't become me yet. Don't worry, I'll be here again." Future L_G hugs her back.
After a few minutes, they let go. Jeanie and her platoon appear nearby through a Shadow Portal. "Beth! What's taking so long to get- oh," she says, seeing Future L_G.
"Well, I guess we'd better go home," continues Jeanie. "But how are there TWO L_Gs???"
"I'll explain later," Beth replies. "We've got to get back, Strato's troops are approaching fast!" She points northeast, where several ships are coming over the mountains.
"But what about this L_G?"
"He'll be gone by the time they get here!"
Jeanie looks at Future L_G, who nods at her. Jeanie sighs and says, "Alright, we're heaing back. But you're packing up the construction site! We worked hard to get that up and running properly!" Beth giggles.
Jeanie opens a portal back to the Shadow Realm. With a last glance, the group enters the portal. It disappears. Future L_G looks over to the approaching Peeps and says, "I hope you're watching this, Strato. Your time has just run out-"
"I DEMAND MY STAR WARS CHESS!!!!" shouts out Past L_G in his sleep through a small crack in the portal. "Oh please, puh-leeze become me soon..." whines Future L_G.

Waiwhainthewhatnowwhatwherewhen?! I have no idea what just happened, I have no idea when this happend, I have no idea how this happend, I have no idea what L_G just did, I have no idea what post this is supposed to takes place in, I have no idea where this is, I have no idea how my troops got there, I have no idea of anything anymore.

BTW nice job starting the game over, using a skill while you were pretified was a nice touch too.

That post makes about as much sense as all that stuff your past self was babbiling. I had control over all of the troops of the Peep Army. The only ships I had were the transports, which went back to Tangent's fortress (soon to become the new Peep Army fortress) after they had sent me to Ragol. And the stone spell was totally immune to magic not amplified, or items not made of the highest quality. And if you insist on adding troops to the Peep Army, you may the seige very difficult. And if you try to weasle your way around the seige, you may find yourself in a nearly impossible fight.

Buh.
@Strato: Okay, we'll just skip that part about Past L_G breaking out and random stuff happening, and the troops being on earth (or whatever planet we're on). I didn't think of that. XP
@Risp: I thought you'd have figured it out by now: I'm not going to do the siege. I'm travelling back to the past to undo all of the stupid stuff I did.

At least the seige sheet would have some use. Well, this gives me an excue to do things even stranger. This also gives me a bigger reason to fight you. Oh, and Strato is preparing a big, important, story segment. Don't do any story segments for a while, k?

Rspss Fr turns around in his chai- the screen room, totally abandoned, vibrates. In the one screen still on, a glowing hole can be seen. A giant black hole, not of the normal term, is growing. In a matter of days, it will engulf the universe and fill it with total emptyness. Panning across the base, it is empty. No Pylon rests in the pylon room. No ships in the ship bay. Few supplies are in the supply room. The base, it seems, was abandoned. Only a single thing of note remains. The logs of the past, left there in the hurry to leave. Inside it contains a tale of horrible importance...

PART TWO- FATAL PANDEMONIUM

I'll be back home before that happens. XD
Also wouldn't the black hole just leave a blank space behind without damaging the unverse?

That's really cold-hearted. Conder the problem of going back into the past and creating a paradox. And the holes? They leave emptyness in their wake.

Oh, and I just realized there is a double meaning in 'fatal pandemonium'.

In the past, in the plane the Pylon was before it ceased to exist, a small, strange, black hole in the fabric of space appeared. Giving off unusual energy, it began to warp the universe. Suddenly, the plane isolated itself from others, in an attempt to keep the contamination from spreading. Planeswalkers all over were alarmed. One planeswalker who was leaving at the time the plane isolated only had half of his body transported through. Now, only the highest power of interplanal travel- the warpgates, of which there are only three in the universe, has the power to let people travel freely. And, at this rate, they would need to leave very, very, soon.

Oh, and the locations of the warpgates are very hard to find out. I myself only know where one is, and you, FYI, know of none.

"Bail out, bail out! Mission aborted, we've got a massive problem back on our home planet. Paradox readouts are off the charts. We need to teleport back immediatly." Strato yells.
"Acknowledged, planal teleport enabled. Teleporting in 5." Rspss says grimly.

*FWOOSH*

Strato rallies all of his forces in the area. "Come! We must fight! Hack the airwaves, we need to warn the general populace!" Strato commands.
"Why? What's happening?" One of his leuitenants asks.
"Paradoxs everywhere. This plane is collapsing on itself. People need to escape to a stable plane. *sigh* An unsurmountable number of people will be slaughtered instantly without knowing. This crime is truly unforgivable." Strato says with supressed rage. Rspss runs up to Strato in the midst of the hetic scramble to arms.
"Airwaves have been hacked, we're going live in 3 seconds. 2. 1."
"Greetings good people of Tiranus. We've come to a time of reckoning. As I warn you, the universe itself is collapsing upon itself. Within weeks, the plane will be obliterated from within, leaving nothing behind. All will be lost. However there is an escape. We may be able to form a mass teleport to another plane, in which safety will lay! We cannot assure you that you will survive on the otherside, but it's better than staying here. The man who has commited this atrocity will not survive. No matter the cost. Cut transmission." Strato turns to face Rspss.
"Rspss, abandon all of our facilities, do a code 113 abondoning prochedure. Everyone who wants to escape let them. Designate some forces to do a Red Cross and quell the massive chaos in spreading worldwide. Niz, you try and get the word out as far as you can across every planet, every solar system. I'll organize some troops to construct the mass planal teleportation, and the rest will help me fight L_G." Strato barked with edginess.

*A while later*

"All clear Bravo team, you're cleared for takeoff." The robotic intercom system annouced. 4 frigates launched from the starports, join with the other 6. Stinger ships rose from the ground and trailed the Frigates. Strato went solo in his Personal Cavalier. The fleet locked in on the approximate location of L_G and flew at 3 times the speed of sound. After about an hour of travel, the fleet finally came in over L_G's position. Strato leaped valiantly from his Aircraft. He drew a warpblade and stared directly in L_G's eyes.
"You have no idea of the enormity of what you've done. Not even I have the idea of it. But I won't let this crime go unpunished. HAVE AT YOU!" Strato slashed down on Future L_G, slicing his left arm clean off.

...O_o How on earth can we have a paradox? We only have a paradox if something in the past can only occur if someone/thing travels from the future. Or something like that. Oh well.

"GAH!" Future L_G shouted as his left arm said bye-bye. He looked up at Strato, angry as...well, you know.
"I've had just about enough of this! I never did anything to you, and you treat me like you despised me for years, if not longer! This ends NOW!!!!"
Future L_G goes Super Knucklehead 1!!! Future L_G's arm has been restored.
Future L_G unleashes Thunder Storm! All of the frigates and troops are destroyed. Strato takes 12345 HP damage.

Future L_G:
Class: Really ticked off Gun Mage (Super Knucklehead 1)
HP: 14470/17000
MP: 5000/5000
SP: 7/54
SP each turn: 7
Weapon Attack: 534
Weapon Defense: 712
Magic Attack: 542
Magic Defense: 854
Speed: 954

NEW ATTACK!
Soh Cah Toa Beam- Three energy balls are launched at the target at different angles, making it difficult to block or dodge.

L_G glares at Strato and grins evilly. "Even if you do kill me, you can't stop me..." he cackles.

Just so it's fair, each combatnant(sp?) can only make ONE action per turn. Haste gives the target an extra action at the end of the turn the turn after it's cast, and only lasts for that turn. Slow cuts a targets' speed in half for a few turns. Stop keeps the target from acting until their next turn. Sound good?

It didn't take long for Jeanie and the others to pack up. However, Past L_G was missing the lower half of his body for some odd reason. "We can restore him, if we can get him back home," says Beth to a concerned Jeanie.
"Very well then, let's get moving!" replies Jeanie.
Jeanie makes some last-minute checks, then asks for the ship to launch.
The Interceptor II takes off!
"Input dimensional coordinates!" orders Jeanie, sitting in the captain's chair on the bridge.
"Sorry, can't do that," the Helmsman says.
"What?! Why not???"
"That's why," replies the Helmsman, pointing at a steadily growing black hole in the distance.
"Ah, sh-"
'I DIDN'T TAKE THE COOKIES, MA! IT WAS A CAT IN A HAT!!' cries out Past L_G.
Jeanie slaps her forehead. "This going to be a long trip...scan for exits."
"Aye, ma'am."

Actually, this is a classic paradox. You go into the past to make the Pylon unnecessary. Now, in the future, the Pylon is never built, so you don't go beck into the past to make the Pylon unnecessary. Now the Pylon was built, so you go back into the past to make the Pylon unnecessary... See what I mean? Time travel is dangerous anyway. Saying you can go through time without any consequences is like saying you can blow up the universe without hurting anybody.

Whoah. Now I don't even know is the Pylon alright or not.

No, it no longer exists. And, pretty soon, the universe will follow suit.

Oh, and two things I forgot to say-
1. Ha! I knew it! Strato thought cutting your arm off would lower your attack power, but I knew you better than to think that!
2. Pageclaims are timeless. You cannot reverse them with time travel.

Well, setting the rules to that battle was a bit pointless. I'm dead and I won't try and get around it because I don't like it when people do that. I only had like...5000 hp anyway.

Actually, after thinking about it, Super Knucklehead is somewhat against the rules, L_G. It's effects are not listed. And it gives you new abilities, and yet you did not list those. When I asked you for all your abilities. Therefore, all Super Knucklehead can do without going against the rules is... nothing, really.

And @risp: When history works, history repeats itself.

History dosen't repeat itself, humans do.

That still does not keep time travel from being the most dangerous weapon imaginable, even when used for perfectally fine purposes.

So, without Pylon, fortress is nothing but... fortress. Anyway, the HUGE paradox about moving in time is that WHEN YOU MODIFY THING THAT MADE YOU WANT TRAVEL, THERE'S NO REASON OF TRAVEL AND IT DELETES ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AND THERE IS NO ANY EFFECT.

I reccomend to move outta of this universe, if we can.

Well, Strato was killed, so he cannot help bring the people of this plane to saftey. If L_G goes on a rampage, he would be dooming the populous of this universe to death. But, then again, the only hide that he cares about saving is his own, so he just might.

Oh. Now I see the easiest way is to search for something that could help us on another planet if any.

But if L_G succeeds in preventing the Pylon from being created, then he wouldn't need to go back in the future, thusly nullifying his purpose. Listen to Cooba here.

Well, if you mean helping us to get to another plane, that is what the three warp gates are for. I know of one. One is under the control of a ancient evil. One is so far away it would take years to get to it with the fastest ship in the Galaxy. If you mean helping us once we get to a new plane, that is something to think of once we get there. Now, I have an idea.

Suddenly, on the battlefield where Strato was slain, a bright flash is emmitted from an imaginary point in the air. It widens, and forms a gate of bright energy. From it comes a peep, but not a normal peep. Blue in color, and with red eyes, this is an abnormal peep. He carries 11 bells, glowing with quiet magic, on poles of a slightly... strange wood. He wears a black vest and a cap with a feather on it.
"Glock reporting, on the team sent to investigate the warpgate! What are your orders, Gener- oh." Glock takes his bells out, and gets into a fighting stance.

Glock selects one of his bells, a silver one humming with firey magic, and rings it! Glock uses Overdrive Bell!
Glock's overdrive is raised from 96% to 100%!

Glock takes a large bell, etched with strange runes and with a pair of etherial wings. Glock rings it, once, and it gives out a crisp, clean noise! Glock uses Phoenix Bell!
Strato is raised, and healed to full!
All troops are raised, and healed to full!
Glock now has the re-raise status effect!

Glock selects a small, black bell. He rings it once, and it makes a sharp noise, distinctive but easily forgotten. Glock uses Amnesia Bell!
Lem_Gambino has forgotten how to use Super Knucklehead 1!
Lem_Gambino has reverted to his normal form!

Glock was suppost to be the first boss in the seige, but this is such a perfect moment for him...

--Glock--
HP: 400/400 Overdrive: 0%
strong against air, earth, and fire. weak against steel
*auto chime: counterattack; heal all allies for half the damage Glock takes, and hurts all enemies (with sound-type damage) for one fourth the damage. if Glock is killed it raises him before healing, but this does not work if Glock would have still died even if he had been healed as he was hurt; physical
*sonic bell: deals 600 sound damage; physical
*entropy bell: target is confused; physical
*broken bell: deals 900 sound damage, can only be used when Glock is under 200 HP; physical
*doom bell: counterattack; when killed, Glock deals 4000 sound damage to his killer
*amnesia bell: target is unable to use technique of caster's choice for rest of battle, cannot be cured; physical
*chaos bell (overdrive): target is berzerked, confused, and poisoned; none of these status effects will go away unless a healing item of spell is used. if any one of these effects are healed, they will all dissapear and deal 10000 damage to the person who was formerly inflicted; physical
*clear bell: heals 300 HP of target; physical
*mana bell: restores 200 MP of target; physical
*phoenix bell (overdrive)- all dead allies are raised and fully healed, uses re-raise on Glock; physical
*overdrive bell: raises target's overdrive meter by 5%; physical

note: all of Glock's skills are counted as physical attacks, so he can use three a turn

potion x 15
11 bells x 1 (equipped)
black vest x 1 (equipped)
feather cap x 1 (equipped)

@Xion- no, the paradox goes in a full circle. If you don't trust me, I will give you a better example.

I've got an idea. I must do something with my chaotic situation though. Factory is probably toast, so I must stand up and escape with some alive troops if any, before THE UNIVERSE IS TOAST!!1

You mean in the future? The entire base is abandoned in the future. In the future you most likely never had a chance to join my side. Instead, I think the only place you could come in is if you introduced yourself in the past.

When I said "one action per turn," I meant ONE ACTION. PERIOD. But since you like making things so hard...>=)

BTW:
Super Knucklehead 1- Transforms the user into a being of great power. All stats rise by 10%, and the user can use Soh Cah Toa Beam.

"Well spork," says Future L_G. Strato was back, and so were all of the ships. All caused by just one little Peep wearing bells...
Future L_G changes dreespheres. Future L_G is now a Warrior.
Future L_G uses Atomic Slash! Glock takes 7423 HP damage. Glock is now a puddle of marshmallow goo. Future L_G takes 8000 HP damage from Doom Bell (he's weak against sound)
Future L_G uses a Senzu Bean! Future L_G's HP is fully restored.
Future L_G uses Holy Ragnarok! Strato takes 6834 HP damage. Strato is dead and crispy.
Future L_G flees!

@Cooba: He's right...where would you be right now since we're in the past?

You forgot Glock had re-raise. And, you have no Senzu beans, unless my suspicions are correct in that senzu beans are magical items that you put in your inventory when you are need to be healed badly and do not mind cheating. Here is your inventory-

1 X-Potion
2 Max-Elixers (fully restores HP)
10 Remedies
50 dollars
Paladin Dressphere
Warrior Dressphere (equipped)
Red Mage Dressphere
Summoner Dressphere
Gun Mage Dressphere
Nadia Dressphere (switches places with L_G's sister, Nadia; all inventory is transferred to new character)
L_G Dressphere (same as above, but only with L_G)
Yesgaunlet
Nogauntlet (equipped)
Phweebracelet
Masamune (equipped)
Sol Blade
Nirvana
Demonstar
Gradius
R-Type Staff
A bunch of useless items for trade

You never listed it as changing, I believe. And you took 4 actions there, while you should only take three. Please re-think that move.

Oh yes, and for anybody curious, here's what my team members look like.



Malta, Tia, Diesel, and Xion.

So you are all in the past. In the past before Pylon or after?

Before the Pylon.

So just very before me. Now I'll try to stop L_G before he'll stop your pylony plans. Of course if I'll enter the past before universe will collapse and then bang out starting anything from scratch.

@Cooba: Before the Pylon, like at the beginning of this thread.
@Xion: LOL. XD
@Risp: Ah. See? I'm a knucklehead! Lemme do that over...

Future L_G flees from battle!

Future L_G flies away as fast as his powers can allow. Suddenly, his left leg is gone. He looks down and sees that his lower body is fading away from exsistance. Oddly enough, Future L_G smiles. "Finally...time caught up with me," he says. "At last, I can leave this world in peace..."
Future L_G stops flying, and starts falling. After a while, Future L_G's body fades away completely.

*A while later*

Strato and Glock are raised to fight again. Strato turns to Niz and says
"Perhaps it is time to even to odds a bit. Shall I use it?"
"It's your choice. But here it is, the program you asked for. It may sting for a second." Niz replied. Strato closed his eyes tight as the program worked itself.

Strato has learned Entropy.
Strato has learned Mineral Lasz.
Strato's overdrive is raised to 100%.
Strato's stats are all raised by 5%.

STATS:
Strato
Hp: 7300
Mp : 500
Physical attack : 20. True power lies in equipment
Physical defense: 95. True defense lies in equipment
Magic attack : 620
Magic defense : 830
Speed : 25. True speed lies in equipment
Charisma : 1240

Strato orders all of his peeps to go to the warp gate. All that remains of Strato's forces here are the heroes.

Strato restocks his equipment.

Main weapon : Gatling Lasz (50 medium ranged attacks at approxamitly 100 light based damage)
Secondary weapon : Warp Blade (Melee weapon, 1000+ warp based damage)
Armor : Power Armor MK II (+500 Defense, +250 M. Defense, +100 Speed)

Ah, a mind boost. My party has that too...but in a "different" form.

@Strato: Hmmm...interresting. If a master thief stole all of your equipment, you'd be extremely vulnerable to physical attacks and wouldn't be able to dodge them. Not Good Eats.

The Interceptor II leaves the Shadow Realm. The ugly black hole is still present.
"I'm picking up something!" the Helmsman says.
"What is it?" asks Jeanie.
"Some kind of warp gate...it's somewhere near that base you guys tried to ransack."
"...Set a course for the base, but stay out their sensor range."
"Aye, ma'am."

Rspss Fr gets new equipment from the base and distributes it.

-Niz-
ether x 10
data dress x 1 (equipped)
cyber dress x 1
transponder hat x 1 (equipped)
antenna hat x 1
silicon dagger x 1
laptop computer x 1
drillbot x 15 (an attack item. A little robot that drills into the enemy when thrown)
neuralbot x 2 (an effects item. A little robot that latches onto the enemy and mind-controls them)
bottle of oil x 2

-Rspss Fr-
potion x 10
x-potion x 3
max-elixer x 1
ether x 12
voidcloth cape x 1 (equipped) (makes owner immune to magic)
strange cape x 1
silksteel cape x 1
targeting cap x 1 (equipped)
thinking cap x 1
voidrifle x 1 (equipped)
pinrifle x 1
gernade x 15
full waterbottle X 1

@L_G- the warpgate is nowhere near my base.
And, as for the master theif thing, if a master theif came and stole all your dresspheres, what would happen?

The Interceptor II approaches the base, staying well out of their sensor range.
"We need to get to that portal...Professor Jeff, can you rig up an EMP attachment for the Thundaga Cannon?" asks Jeanie.
"I already have," replies Jeff. "I had a funny feeling that we'd need something like this, so I built one from scratch. Just give me two posts, kay?"
'YAY! I GOTS ME NEW LIFE INSURANCE!' blurts out L_G.
