okay then...but if you think about it, Xion didn't use it after that.

So even if that was impossible, it still never happened since time went backwards.

And pageclaim.

So you are saying that it is okay to do things that should be impossible as long as somewhere along the lines everybody goes back in time and it is reversed?

Oh well, it really does not matter, as you said, but... still...

Not really, since it was a quick grab.


But anyways, I wasn't expecting a full-frontal battle at the time untill I was able to take down the Pylon.

Notice: Diesel, Tia, and Malta all have chips in their Ears, Xion doesn't.

Xion gives a yawn.

Not really to what? The fact that it would be impossible or that it is strange to justify something as fine because it was undone? If it was the former, being a 'quick grab' would result in the lotus mace, the computer in the room you started from, and any other fragile things nearby being destroyed.

I justified it as fine in the past. Why should you give a care now?

It had never helped before to say that the person is doing something impossible, expecially when they basically say "I know I can't do it. I did it anyway."

Now, granted I only snatched up the Lotus Mace. I could have snatched my radio and called in backup, but I didn't.

And the radio would have been an easier snatch, if I thought of it at the time. =\ Oh well.

What's done is done, and you can change it if you play your cards right.

A fizz on the computer shows a large mass of ships traveling through the space. Strange markings all over the ship...indecypherable.

Xion doesn't really see this because he fell asleep in his chair...again.

That would not have been wise, since the sonic boom would have destroyed the lotus mace.

Enough with that now, will ya?

Times have changed.

Well, if you wanted to simply end the subject you should not have mentioned the 'quick grab' thing. But anway, we really can't do anything till L_G gets back, so...

*yawn* Whattid I miss?

The Interceptor II, still spinning out of control, starts flying through space in the general direction of where Niz was originally heading.

You guys could have done stuff other than argue about how Xion's planeswalking abilties work in this thread, ya know. Just because I'm not here doesn't mean you can't advance the plot.

I can't do anything with the party that is suppost to find you till Strato gets back on. Xion does not seem to be able to do anything at all.

Niz projects some of her psuedomagic skill through the magic amplifier, and it is changed into a spell! A giant grappling line shoots out from the transport, appearing out of nowhere, and reels the Interceptor II in! High Magic: Create Extension!

Why does the Interceptor II always do what you want it to when it spins out of control?

Jeanie's wrestling with the controls. She isn't doing a very good job since Niz smacked the Interceptor II with the confusion spell. >XP

The Interceptor II is reeled in, but the confused ship fires its weapons uncontrollably at Niz's spacecraft. Niz's transport takes 3724 HP damage from the barrage.

Perhaps you should rethink this move, Risp...you got the bull by the tail, and here come the horns!

Well, my strategy relys on you not being able to control the ship when you should not be able to (since 'wrestling with the controls' is a plot device.) It is a pretty good plan. You are the problem.

Niz projects some of her psuedomagic skill through the magic amplifier, and it is changed into a spell! A flurry of high-energy missles fly from the transport and blast into the Interceptor II! High Magic: Missle Strike!
The Interceptor II takes 7500 HP damage!

Transport hp pending.

Jeanie completely loses control of the ship!!!!!!
The Interceptor II, thinking it's a bucking bronco, flings Niz's transport around like a yo-yo. Niz's ship hits a really big asteroid, but for some odd reason, doesn't take damage.
The Interceptor II is confused! In its confusion, it fires off a volley of Viper Homing Missiles! Niz's ship takes 9998 HP damge from the attack.

I tried to warn you...

... so the interceptor is now berzerked or something, with it constanly pulling off pot shots while not knowing nearby asteroids or planets from the transport (which, in fact, should be immune to the homing missles, unless they for some reason use optical systems instead of some sort of scanner, owing to the fact that the transport is invisible to scanners)...

Strato's Frigate streaked through space. Strato at the weapons helm began to power up all the weapon systems. Defensive laser grid was online. Refractive armor was fully repaired.

Strato in Frigate
Hp : 25000/25000
Weapons Layout
Front : D-Gun - Serious pain
Multi : Det missle packs - Homing
Defenses
Armor : Refractive SG Silk Steel Alloy - Refractive
Extra : Point Defense Laser Grid - Anti Projectile defense system

Post weapons layout of Interceptor II. Also, I'm behind you so only back facing weapons or multi could hit me.

The Vipers are heat-seeking missiles. Doi. Also, Niz's transport was the last thing that the Interceptor II "saw" before it was confused, so now it thinks it's an enemy (though it was a enemy from the start).

The Interceptor II flies away, dragging Niz along and blasting anything that gets in it's way. It's heading in the direction that Niz was heading before the battle started.
'Must...get to...transporter...' says Jeanie as she stumbles through the hallway. Along the way, she finds an emergency kit containing:

50 X-Potions
50 Remedies
50 Fire Gems (deals fire damage to all enemies)
50 Water Gems (deals water damage to all enemies)
50 Lightning Gems (deals lightning damage to all enemies)
50 Ice Gems (deals ice damage to all enemies)
50 Earth Gems (deals earth damage to all enemies)
50 Wind Gems (deals wind damage to all enemies)
50 Holy Gems (deals holy damage to all enemies)
50 Shadow Gems (deals darkness damage to all enemies)
50 Supreme Gems (deals non-elemental damage to all enemies)
50 Sleep Bombs (deals damage and sleep to one enemy)
1 Immunity Bracelet
1 Flask of Veritaserum (forces the drinker to tell the truth when a question is asked)

Immunity Bracelet Abilites:
Ribbon- Prevents status aliments.
Inventory Check- Protects all equipment and items from being stolen or destroyed.

EDIT: @Strato: You can see all of the Interceptor II's weapons on post 578. They are capable of firing forward and backward. I'd watch your aim, since the Interceptor is on a rampage and Niz is being dragged along with it. >=)

@L_G WOAH! That Interceptor has rapid fire attacks! Viper missles only deal what, 150 damage right? you did about...70 attacks in one turn.

Strato launches a Det Pack. 6 rockets home on on the Interceptors Bridge. Interceptor takes 1,200 damage.

Well, what did you expect from a confused, enraged armored assualt transport?

The Interceptor II screeches in pain. It turns around and rams Strato's frigate! Strato's Frigate takes 5834 HP damage.
Jeanie reaches the transporter room, where Beth's waiting. "Lock onto that hacker and beam her aboard," she says.
"That'll be difficult," replies Beth. "She seems to be blocking our sensors."
"Weren't they knocked off-line when the EMP cannon hit?"
"I'm not sure."

@Risp: Shouldn't the sensor-blocking whatchamacallits be disabled, since they are electronic devices after the EMP cannon hit???

Actually, the transport has sensor-proof armor, not some kind of jammer.
And, as for the thing, the point of confusion is that the target is unable to tell what is an enemy and what is an ally. Also, if this helps, the spell that did it was a scrambler, and that means the Interceptor II's computer systems would be on the fritz (anything system that is linked to the computers would be haphazardly switching on and off or randomly firing), not that is would be enraged.

Niz manages to get the transport's systems back online!
A portal appears in front of the transport, and the transport goes in, with the portal dissappearing behind it! The transport has excaped via jump drive!

Note- the grappling hook is unfortinatly still there and has kept part of the portal open. The remaining part of the portal is too small for anything to move through or the grappling hook line to properly move through, so now the line is stuck there. So, therefore, the Interceptor II and the transport are both immobile. And the transport did not jump drive to the Warp Gate. It jump drived in the opposite direction.

Xion snorts, and sees the ship grouping on the screen. "Oh my..." Xion says, zooming in on the main ship. A strange marking is on the side, hard to make out because it's been traveling for quite a long time.

What ships are these? Some random ships that you just invented to give yourself something to do?

Look at the image, or when L_G comes around he may recognize them.

And I believe these ships have come up in the past, lemme look for them.

You forget that the cameras are planesmagic, and cannot really be blocked by isolation. The only real way for me to have a return trip is to have a cord attached to me to a portal that I have ripped between the two planes, and even then I can't go far...10yds is the usual portal containment...=\

PM/AIM me if you want to know what the markings say.

You have enough of them to cover the entire universe?

>D >D >D >DDDD I got you now L_G
The Intercepter's Ram attack launched it right into the Point Defence Laser Grid, punching it with many many holes. 7,000 damage. The effect of scramble finally hit Strato's frigate. Strato's Frigate is now widly out of control. It fires 50 Det Packs. 60,000 damage to The Intercepter II. It shoots 10 D-Guns. 100,000.

Seeing as confusion actually means defy the game rules, I guess I have to follow through.

yes and no.

I can cover a large area of a plane for a while, but the cameras expire. That's their only problem: they last only so long. Xion has to keep refreshing them when they drop so he can keep a constant monitor...though with Xion's poor sleeping habits, things can slip by him easily.

But anyway, the cameras should be blocked by isolation. As I said, the break the isolation you need raw power, like that of the warp gates, since the isolation is in many ways better than the Pylon's power. It draws all of the energy usually used to keep things out and puts in it keeping things in, so it is entirely possible for a non-planeswalker with a small knowledge of magic to enter this universe now. The only way for the cameras to work right is if they have the sheer power of a warp gate.

Suprisingly, no. You need lots of power to planeswalk back, yes, but think of it this way.

you know those doors on VCR's? Push it from one side, it falls easily. Push from the other side...impossible. But, what if you kept the door open? That's exactly what I'm doing with the cameras. I am keeping the path between the planes open via the camera, but not much more.

Granted, I can hop through and hop back, but once EVERY PART ATTACHED TO MY BODY is through, the portal closes. So if I keep my tail wrapped around, oh, some pole in the other plane, I'm fine. I can just hop back through and bam! I'm back.

It's not like the Pylon, which repels planeswalking. This is the exact opposite: You can't go out of it, but you can go into it.

Call it bending the rules, I call it finding loopholes.

Let us look at this quote, from early in on this storyline.

Originally Posted by RSPSS FR

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.

This suggests existing portals are terminated also. So, therefore, that is not a loophole you are exploiting. What you are doing now is totally disobeying the rules.

...true, true...

Xion searches through the ship, when he sees a map on a wall. It showed a planet, and another planet labeled "Ragol" next to it.

"hmm..." Xion says. "It seems that this is not the plane I wanted, for this is my own plane."

Looks like we're both going down. HARD. >=D

The Interceptor II is simply out of control, firing weapons and moving about randomly. The Interceptor II starts spinning in place, pulling Niz's transport back out of the portal. Niz's ship crashes into the Interceptor II, which causes them to both fly into Stratos' ship!

*If Strato and/or Niz have escape plans, please insert them here before the ships collide*

All ships take 10000 damage. Everyone on the Interceptor II is dead (and crispy)and sent to the Shadow Realm.

@Xion: I don't recognize those markings. Maybe they're the letters of the Namekian's (from Dragonball Z) language.

L_G, I already said it cannot move. I already said the portal was too small for anything to pass through. I already said nobody can enter the shadowrealm. You really messed up there.

Well, that's just going to bring up the whole "People are dead and can't go to the afterlife" thing again.

The Interceptor II is unable to anything except fire its weapons in random directions. An Ultima Cannon shot grazes Strato's ship, ripping off the left wing. Jeanie is unable to do anything becuase she and the other crew are all stuck in elevators. D=
Jeanie starts reciting an ancient incantation that L_G taught her a long time ago...

Does that really matter? In a few days there will be no more universe anyway.

It won't take that long. It's not going to affect you or your characters.

Jeanie's Incantation: 36% done and rising. Fast.

The Ultima Cannon refracts. Strato's ship suffers no damage. Strato's ship launches it's remaining Det Packs randomly. They all immediatly target the Frigate. The Frigate goes insanely fast away. Battle disengaged. Frigate is no longer confused. Strato signals Niz to release L_G and high tail it to the Warp Gate. Strato guides the Frigate to face the Warp gate. The Frigate has 750 hp left. Eveyone is ordered to an escape pod. Strato streaks off to the Warpgate. When they arrive, Strato sets up an Automated Impact Battery and 3 Automatron Walkers. Strato asks Niz to prime the bomb.
"Alright." She confirmed.
After the bomb was primed and all of that, Strato and his crew finally whent through the Warpgate.
