The Warrior Story
Timeline
When existence began, there were only two beings. The Phoenix and The Dark Guard. The Phoenix, born of fire, light, and creation. The Dark Guard born from ice, darkness, and destruction. The Phoenix created the Multiverse, and set in place The First Realm, Earth, and Humanity. Humanity was the Phoenix's greatest creation. They were given the power to create, passed down from the Phoenix. The other realms of the Multiverse were born from the worlds Humanity created, with the power of their own mind. The Multiverse exists on a higher dimensional plane than Humanity and all other life lies on. Between the realms of the Multiverse, there were gaps. The Dark Guard created The Void, in the areas not used by the Multiverse. The Void automatically shifts itself when new realms in the Universe are created. The Void for us is an empty place, very little being known about what resides inside it. None have ever crossed into The Void and returned, except the Phoenix. There was an equal balance until Humanity began to be overtaken by something dreadful, greed. They abused
SC72's History
Age of TheLastWarrior
ScarClaw72 takes on the biggest challenge he has ever faced. When the Warrior's home world falls, a great threat kills thousands, and captures the most of the few remaining survivors, he must find a way to carve out hope. The fate of the Multiverse may hang in balance. . .
A time of struggle and pain for the remaining warriors.
The Fall of Krogan IX
After a relentless assault on Krogan IX, The home-world of Warriorhood, Dr. Dread managed to burrow deep into the planet, and unleashed a Tier II Burlis bomb, completely fracturing the planet. HawkStalker32, after realizing what was happening, ordered her team to abandon the evacuation line and instead steal one of the ships on their own. They managed to escape, but however RoseHeart11 failed to reach the shuttle with them and was presumed dead when the planet gave way and blew up. They like to believe other Warriors made it out, but no contact has been successful. Thousands of lives were lost, effectively decapitating the Warriors as a whole. Strangely enough however, the planet's moon managed to stay out of the way of the planet's remains.
The Homeworld of the Warriors Falls and thousands are lost in the planet's debree.

[{Censored as due request of TheLastWarrior}]
As a conflict reaches an end, an innocent is thought to have been lost.
Lies of the Dead
After drifting quietly through space to avoid the detection of Dread, they came across a distress beacon on a frequency used by Warriors. They boarded a space vessel to find the source of the call. Suspicious, ScarClaw72 stood with BloodFang55 to keep watch. The other Warriors attempted to shut off the distress signal before continuing, but they triggered a trap set by Dreadbots. Overwhelmed by forces, only ScarClaw72 and BloodFang55 managed to escape, forced to leave the rest of the team behind.
A lost vessel in space promises hope, but cripples them to nothing.
TheLastWarrior is Born
With hopes shattered, and near acceptance of the fall of The Warriors, they returned back to Earth. BloodFang55 knew that there a way to stand up to Dread, but he couldn't do it while being dragged around by his older brother ScarClaw72. Tensions had been rising, and ScarClaw72 had kept a forceful arm over him. He claimed abandonment of Warriorhood and Sentenced himself into exile. Blood refused to say anything about the matter, and just left. The only thing ScarClaw72 had turned away from him. The last standing Warrior, ScarClaw72 felt himself shatter. That night he renamed himself, under the title TheLastWarrior as a symbol for the last hope of the Multiverse. He knew he couldn't left it fall to Dread, but he didn't know what he could do.
A lone warrior holds the entire fate of the Multiverse.
The Three Evils (Minecraft Event)
A young man discovered a small temple in the middle of a desert, and within it lies a prophecy. It told of ancients reawakening, the release of three evils, and the returning of monsters of old. He ends us as the believed last human alive, and must seek out and destroy what he accidentally unleashes. See "Minecraft: The Three Evils" under the MC Projects menu for the whole story.
Three ancient evils are released and Steve's destiny unfolds.
MobFusionUltimate (Minecraft Event)
During the events of The Three Evils, Scar was called in by the Phoenix to help aid Steve but things went dark. He was lured into a trap, and caught off guard by Herobrine. Somehow he knew of Scar's arrival, and tracked him down. Herobrine captured him, and loaded the essence from several mobs into Scar, giving him a special ability of each specific creature that also permanently altering his appearance. He was turned into MobFusionUltimate. Scar escaped but anytime he loses control, his body turns into a red and white eye imbued figure, MobFusionUltimate Full, and turns under Herobrine's command. He was supposed to be the culmination of the MobFusions. When he maintains self control however, he remains in a middle ground, MobFusionUltimate Partial. After the conflict resolved itself, Scar returned home, with nothing to show for the pain he had endured on his failed mission.
A permanent mark of Herobrine's evil changes ScaClaw72 forever.

Some isolated friends in the forest offer me some advice.
Gooko and Venom
On duty, Scar picked up a distress call from the planet Heratonia. He had to remain loyal to his duty even if he was the only able warrior. He discovered the colony was being attacked by a swarm of Maros. He managed halt the invasion with the local militia, and freed the locals who had been held captive. However during his infiltration mission, the alarm was set off. And two captives broke free and began shredding through the insectoids. The bars raised, and soon the mission was completed before TheLastWarrior has even fired his gun. Impressed, TheLastWarrior spoke to them, one a small turtle who stood upright, Gooko, and a snake with a coil sort of thing around her body, Venom. They introduced themselves as mercs, but they had definitely caught the attention of TheLastWarrior. He filled them in on the situation of things, and without further question they joined the cause.
A team starts to form with two new faces who decide to help TheLastWarrior against Dread.
Dragon Saviors
Following his new allies on Heratonia, Scar took the advice of Venom and led a search onto the neighboring system to see if they could locate the nest. They surely found it on another colony world, located in the mines. Scar tried to formulate a plan with his two new companions, but was sloppy with his work. As soon as they were about to run in, they ran into contact with a Grand stone dragon. It was hostile, and they reacted as such. However it stopped and immediately retreated into a neutral state once he saw The Warrior symbol on Scar's shoulder pad. It ran recklessly into the hive, knocking everything in it's sight. TheLastWarrior and the others followed, forced to stick close so they weren't carried away. The dragon refused to answer any questions, and just kept forward with a determined look on his face.
After a great many Maros, a small orange dragon was unconscious on the floor. She stood up weakily, addressing him has Andy. Scar had a brief flashback at the name.
It was the first time ScarClaw72 had seen Andy since he was only a year old. Scar explained to him the story, many years earlier, when he was in his early years at the academy. There was an event taking place, his mentor HawkStalker32 had run into him and his parents. He bad been taken with her for a field lesson. It had been many years since. Much more comfortable, Andy introduced them to Inferno. After explaining the situation, Scar recruited them with Gooko and Venom into the new team.
Scar has a reuinion with Andy, and meets Inferno who become recruited into TheLastWarrior's team.
The Creation of Claws
Despite starting to grow a small team, Scar still was worried. A few people could not take on a whole army. He became mentally isolated by fear. It drove him mad and he felt that after the abandonment of his brother, he needed another Warrior. Days rolled on and he couldn't hide his stress anymore. Out of control, he took the some of his blood, including traces of his spiritual being, and created a clone with it. The only problem is the traumatization of recent events had clouded his mind, and this specifically violates The Code of Jahkum. When he finally came to his senses, it was too late, Scar tried to shut it down, but it was already done. He spoke to the clone and told him the situation. They came up with an alibi and the clone became Claws. Care was taken to conceal his green scar markings, as they were a dead giveaway of his identity. Taking a different path though he is not actually the same as Scar, he is unique in his own way. But discovery of the incident would push things to trouble within his already small group of allies. They had to keep it secret.
Fear can even drive Warriors mad

The Egg
TheLastWarrior awokened to discover something left in the vicinity of their headquarters. As he approached it, he noticed it was an oversized dragon egg. With no one in sight, he took possession of it until he could find the owner of the egg. A little worry was risen as to who knew of their location, and this did cause a change in base of operations.
An abandoned egg on a forgotten planet
Out of the Shadows
Deep in space, contact is made with Dreadbot's by TheLastWarrior's team. After pursuing the fleeing forces, an extensive underground facility is discovered. Inside its corridors, are cells full of long since dead Warriors. The nightmarish sight alluded to Dread's conquest starting long before The Fall of Krogan IX.
Dreadbots are encountered for the first time since The Fall of Krogan IX.
Chamber of Secrets
In the depths of the facility, dreadbots were caught trying to destroy a holotape. After examination, a received message from Dread was uncovered. He spoke of the need of Warriors, there "essence" needed for something. He kept very allusive, and the message glitched just a short ways in. While not much, it was one of the first leads to Dread's motives.
Deeper into the facility, secrets tell of Dread's intentions.
The Search For Answers
Numerous efforts were made by TheLastWarrior and his team to uncover Dread's location. Stealth operations were carried out on several discovered outposts, with the hope of finding where Dread was hiding. Details were managed to be uncovered, and a lead was pieced together to a cruiser ship that had been taking charge of these hidden expansions.
With a small team of willing souls, TheLastWarrior leads several missions to try and track down Dr. Dread.

A well placed trap allows SB04 and TheLastWarrior's Team to capture the assassin.
The Lost Carrion
Dealing with numerous Dreadbot strikes for many months TheLastWarrior's Team finally found where they were originating thanks to the successful capturing of C.S.'s assassin. They spent a 24 hour infiltration op to take the Carrion-class Dreadbot cruiser out of commission. The Carrion was subsequently destroyed, However, numerous Dreadbots fled, leading them to believe more are hiding somewhere, likely the location of Dread.
The source of many attacks, including the assassins, lead us to a drifting warship of Dread's.
Vanishment
With training underway, SwiftBlade04 and ScarClaw72 are caught off guard when a creature of unknown origin begins to devour a Warrior temple. After a daring escape, the small planet became swallowed away by a growing black hole, seeming to have been born from the temple itself. The anomaly was recorded, with no explanation for it.
During a visit between ScarClaw72, and SwiftBlade04, an old Warrior Temple becomes infested.
TheLastWarrior or Not?
TheLastWarrior and his team were running a espionage Op on an intelligence station of Dread's, which was found thanks to tracking transmitters attached to the escapees from the Carrion. Inside the primary database of the station, after allowing Gooko to do some digging, a discovery was made. The rest of the Warrior's were being held as backup resources inside a facility hidden toward the edge of The First Realm. Thankful as they were, the idea of it being another trap of Dr. Dread's lingered.
A clue to the whereabouts of the captive Warriors
Torn Ops
BloodFang55 had been exiled from Warriorhood and it had been a while since anyone had heard from him. To the surprise of Scar, he returned and showed him something. When he was gone, Blood had not abandoned the problem of Dread and revealed his abandonment to be a necessary move to finalize his solution. Led by some close friends within the Fathom of Flame, he had formed an army called Torn Ops. Scar forgave Blood for his actions, and finally a light of hope began to shine brightly.
Scar's brother returns with something that might just save us all
HalkStalker and EagleEye
Being led by TheLastWarrior, a small squad of Torn Ops and TheLastWarrior's team infiltrated the prison to free the other Warriors. After fighting through relentless Dreadbots and security checkpoints, a small cryogenic chamber was located. Inside one of the tubes lied HawkStalker, and in another was EagleEye. Scar freed them and they regrouped, splitting up to tackle the rest of the station while also securing an exit.

RavenWing and NightHunter
ScarClaw72, TornPhoenix1223, and the Torn Ops squad followed through to locate RavenWing and NightHunter. Working their way back through the facility, the found a second cryo-chamber, and freed them. They worked their way through the path cleared by TheLastWarrior's team and managed to escape, but not before a close encounter with Dread himself.

Lonely Reunion
Following the rescue operations for the other Warriors, it seemed right enough to take a moment to rest. Although the return and happiness of the other Warriors filled ScarClaw72, the feeling of RoseHeart11's absence still haunted him. Without her the team would never truly be back in his eyes.
As a small celebration is held with the Warrior team back together, Scar still longs for Rose.
TheLastWarrior No More.
The title of TheLastWarrior was undertook when ScarClaw72 became the only able Warrior after The Fall of Krogan IX. With the return of the other Warriors, he began to question if he even should keep it. After consultation with HawkStalker32, and then The Phoenix, it was decided that it was to be kept, as a symbol of the struggle Scar faced, and the perseverance he displayed carving out a final hope.
What happens to the title?
The Storm
Gooko discovers a crack form in the Multiverse when monitoring for Dread activity. Before action could be taken, Gensar and its inhabitants fell in a matter of hours to the same thing that infected the Warrior temple Scar and Swift were training in. The planet was eaten away until nothing was left. A hole was left where it remained, but then was sealed off without warning. It came without warning and was gone in an instant. Paranoia began to fill some of the Warriors as to what was really going on.
A planet falls under siege by the Corrupted
The Second Carrion
While examining what remained of Gensar, another Carrion was discovered. But this one was far from it's sister that was destroyed. This Carrion appeared dormant. Word was send back home of the discovery while TheLastWarrior's team entered it. What was found inside was something all of they feared. While it had not eaten away at the ship itself, it's dreadbot crew was completely morphed by the same thing that devoured the planet. What was left was half machine, half reality broken creatures. TheLastWarrior's Team managed to escape the ship undetected and met up with the Warriors in a neighboring system to discuss the matter.
Hints to a greater threat emerge.
Secrets Awaken
After Consultation with the other Warriors, HalkStalker32 seemed to believe she understood what we had discovered. One thing she remembered vividly from The Warrior Academy. Looking back into her history courses, she remembered The Corrupt. The only known inhabitant to have ever crossed from The Void. The Corrupt was believed to be created to serve The Dark Guard. With this revelation found, tensions began to rise about what was really happening behind Dread's curtain.
The Multiverse's greatest threat looms above us.
Spike
Early one morning, the dragon egg TheLastWarrior had found abandoned hatched. Inferno and Andy were the first to find out. Except something wasn't right. The dragon was not the correct species for the egg type, and the dragon aside appeared to be far from infancy. It was an electrical dragon, slightly larger than Inferno. The dragon was limp and pale. He awoke from his coma the following day, and announced himself as Spike. Spike appeared to have no memory of who he was. He had memories, but he was adamant they weren't his. A lot is unknown still about Spike, but he decided to join TheLastWarrior's team. This is credited a lot to Inferno, who was the most welcoming of the new face.
Gooko did some research and discovered the false egg was made partly of Dheroniplast, and some other unknown substances.
A mystery incased in an egg shell.
The Dangerous Night
Inferno was running the first live test of suit made of a special thermal fabric Gooko had created. Reluctantly, she agreed to test it's limits by diving into the icey waters of the planet Gous. Spike accompanied Gooko on the surface as the test was conducted. The test was deemed successful after an entire half hour in the subzeero tempatures, but on the swim up the fabric was ripped by a jagged rock on the lake floor. The water ate at her burning scales as she tried to swim up. However she blacked out, and Gooko and Spike panicked. Spike watched her bright red body turn to a mute maroon, and without thinking he dove in after her. He managed to drag her out, but not before succumbing to the cold himself. She dove back in after him and endured both the icey waters and the electrical current being sent everywhere from Spike's flailing body. Gooko rushed them back to HQ to treat their injuries, feeling guilt for his carelessness in the prototype suit.
A training accident leads to something more.
Spikes Omen
TheLastWarrior had a dream that involved both The Phoenix and Spike. Unsure what to do, he invited Spike to hold the Cosmic Stone with him. The two were dragged into a spiritual confrontation with the Phoenix, and a prophecy rung into Spike's ears.
Spike recieves an omen about whats to come.
Heart Pedals
The following night, a bright object found its way floating down from the sky. Upon retrieving it, ScarClaw72 gasped. It was a flower pedal, somehow undamaged by the cold vaccuum of space, and still just as soft as when it had bloomed. The rose petal was pink, with a small violet heart dyed into the center. Scar took a long breathe of joy as he saw it. It was the undeniable symbol of RoseHeart11.
The icon of a lost friend reveals itself.
A Heart Warming Return
Following the discovery of a pedal, ScarClaw72 took a ship and flew back toward the remnants of Krogan IX. Sure enough, laying inside a bubble of magic was RoseHeart11. She was unconscious, having reserved all of her magic, with a hope she would be found. ScarClaw72 helped her aboard the ship and took a moment to sit her down in the copilot seat. Just then, the Dreadship was seen entering the debris field and ScarClaw72 flew away before they were spotted.
We reunite with RoseHeart
Reminscence
RoseHeart11 woke weakily during the flight back, but she was relieved to finally be safe. Scar caught her up to speed from what had happened. Rose and Scar spent a moment, just being thankful they had both survived the ordeal thus far. A moment of silence was held for the deceased Warriors, as well as their own friend SkyArk.
A moment of joy is shared between two old friends.
their power of creation to try and overthrow the Phoenix. They amassed an army and drove it into hiding. In response, The Dark Guard sent creatures from The Void to cross the Cosmic Border into The Multiverse. These creatures, that we now call The Corrupt, infected Humanity and its army out of rage for Humanity upsetting the balance. The Phoenix was forced to purge The Multiverse of all life. The Phoenix, now understanding the fact that in any existence there is always inevitable corruption, formulated a plan to keep everything in check. Humanity would once again be granted their power, but would not be told of it, the Phoenix, or The Multiverse. The power of creation for them would be held in mind for them to be fictional. The worlds they imagined would still sprout new life in The Multiverse but they wouldn't know. In response to instabilities in the other realms, the Phoenix created The Protectors, which led on to teach The Warriors. After the first Warriors were taught, they formed The Warrior Academy on the planet of Krogan IX and began teaching new Warriors, creating many generations of heroes to maintain peace throughout the realms. The Warriors underwent a transformation that altered their physical structure and implemented a bit of The Phoenix's flame into each of them. The Protectors then were granted Immortality and became the bodyguards of the Phoenix. Jerrod Jahkum was the first Protector and became the leader of the group. The Phoenix and The Dark Guard also created The Fire Realm and The Corrupted Realm. The Spiritual Realm was also created to allow Warriors to discover animal counterparts crafted into each of them. Warriors were chosen from all over the realms, but many were humans themselves. The Warrior’s main role is to watch over the Humanity and in times of extreme crisis, intervene in conflicts that upset the balance of the realms. But as Humanity began to develop technologically, The Phoenix and The Protectors vanished, although contact was still possible by Warriors. And as time passed on, worries began to spread that The Dark Guard still didn't believe justice had been served for Humanity’s mistake.
Following the reunion of The Warriors and Torn Ops, Dr. Dread finally reveals himself and casts an all out invasion on The First Realm. With The Warriors leading the charge, and emergence of a new adversary, the questions of what is really going on begin to come up. Whatever is happening, The Multiverse has forever changed...
Dr. Dread reveals himself and chaos breaks lose.
The Battle
Deep in remote space, Dr. Dread reveals himself and the massive army he has created in his vanishment. The Torn Ops fleet engages the Dr. dread, but ultimately is forced into a retreat. Reports of dreadbot attacks flood in from everywhere and the Torn Ops fleet is forced to spread it's fleet thin to slow down the invasion of The First Realm.
Two massive armies clash
Driven Back
Unable to hold back the invasion, evacuations are held everywhere to move all Torn Ops strongholds into "The Safe Ring". One Owlnix, but the name of Jessceila, rises through the ranks and becomes a captain of the Torns Ops ship: "The Song Bird". The Warriors band together at their new HQ, located underground the planet Sedna just outside the Sol system. The Warriors as a collective are given leadership over the Torns Ops fleet, which was henceforth renamed The Phoenix Legion. The Warriors establish the "Creator Defense Protocol", which states that Earth is to remain the center of The Safe Ring at all times.
Dr. Dreads fleet quickly pushes back the Torn Ops fleet into a small defense ring, keeping earth at it's center.
Warrior Reinforcement
The remaining Warriors are split up to individually lead different fleets within The Phoenix Legion. Each fleet was given a primary sector of The First Realm to focus in. During this time, The Warriors finally break their radio silence to the rest of The First Realm and announce the fall of The Warriors, and the threat known as Dr. Dread. Following this, The Phoenix Legion quickly grew in numbers, and a small fleet quickly grew into a full scale army.
The remaining Warriors lead the defense of The First Realm.
Lonely Times
With The Warriors parting ways to lead the defense of The First Realm, ScarClaw72 spends a moment by himself. The reunion had raised his hopes, but it still felt wrong without his team by his side. Even after everything he was faced with, he didn't feel worthy of leading. Thankfully the friends he had made were still with him, and he prepared himself for the coming war.
TheLastWarrior has a moment of solemn thoughts
Back to Ops
With the rise of The Phoenix Legion, TheLastWarrior's team was reassigned as a special operations team for the war effort. Future missions would be taken under a new title called the Blackfiles. The Blackfiles would become an important role in the war, although such missions would become top secret, due to their sometimes controversial natures.
The Blackfiles...
The Battle of Kengler
In order to survive this war, it was paramount The Warriors had access to a cosmic stone. The goal was to reclaim Yanis, the nearest planet with an old temple built by The Protectors. The first step toward it was retaking Kengler. Gooko, Claws, and ScarClaw72 led an assault to liberate the planet. The victory opened the doorway to new opportunities in the war.
The first victory is secured.
The Battle of Quantus
With the recon help of Blackfiles, we managed to catch the dreadbot forces completely off guard. Dreadbot's were successfully repelled, and the road was clear ahead for Yanis.
Another step forward toward the goal of Yanis.
The Fall of Potius
On the other side of The Safe Ring, Andy, Inferno, and Spike were caught in the middle of an invasion. Reinforcements were sent but to no avail. Whilst Marsheii Alba, better known as Munch, another Owlnix did arrive with a small fleet, they were no match. The planet had fallen, as had a key outpost for The Phoenix Legion.
A backwater world falls in one huge sweep from Dreadbots.
Victory Over Yanis
ScarClaw72 called in the Blackfiles team, and together led the battle for Yanis. One of the fleet's capital ships was severely damaged, forcing a retreat to repair, but ultimately it was a victory. After it was all over, ScarClaw72 brought SwiftBlade04 to the temple. Together they used the cosmic stone, to no avail. Whatever was happening was silencing The Phoenix from The Warriors.
A full assault is led on the rocky world of Yanis.
Ferno's Compromise
Shortly following the Yanis victory, Spike spilled out his thoughts onto Inferno. He admitted a growing jealousy for how much time she spent with Andy. Inferno apologized, and took him for a flight. She explained to him about their relationship, and the harsh conditions they had to survive under. This in turn laid Spike's jealousy to rest for the time being, but made him think about how he had to wake up in this world with no idea what was even going on.
War causes more than one kind of conflict
A New Foe
ScarClaw72 took SwiftBlade04 to the remains of Potius, to show just how devastating Dr. Dread was becoming. But upon investigation, the airspace was empty of any Dreadbots. Puzzled, they landed and took a walk, gazing at the destruction left behind. But then a lone starfighter appeared, landing near them. Out stepped a man who appeared to have come from The Flame Dimension. He said no words, but drew out a symbol on the ground, burning it into the rock. As he walked away, ScarClaw72 motioned SwiftBlade04 to run back to the ship. He looked at the symbol, the Phoenix's symbol for peace, but flipped. It chilled him right down the spine.
Walking the remains the Potius is an unknown adversary.
More Dangerous Than You Think
ScarClaw72 arranged a meeting with Inferno following the encounter on Potius. Scar and Swift described the figure, his flame-esk appearance, and bright orange mask. Inferno grew wide eyed. She couldn't remember where she knew him from, but she spat out the name Helios over and over. Helios, one of the most revered figures in The Flame Dimension. SC72 requested a meeting of The Warriors to discuss the matter futher.
Some info is learned about the encounter on Potius.
Singed by the Flame
The other Warriors agreed to the meeting, but no word was heard from NightHunter nor RavenWing. The meeting proceeded, but was cut short. ScarClaw72 and HalkStalker32 were assigned to go track down the missing Warriors.
RavenWing and NightHunter are MIA
Just Another Rescue Mission..
ScarClaw72 and HalkStalker32 embarked on a journey to find out what happened to RavenWing and NightHunter. Joined by Claws, they rendezvoused at their last known coordinates. What they found was a station, appearing abandoned. What remained was the Warriors in a scorched room, near death.
Two Warriors
Live to Fight Another Day
Following the rescue of the missing Warriors, a ship boarded with the station. Dreadbots began flooding the halls. But these one's with frames resembling Helios's armor. ScarClaw72 worked to secure an exit as HalkStalker and Claws escorted Raven and Night to their ship. Overwhelmed, they waited for reinforcement. Finally Inferno and Andy arrived, who helped clear the way forward. But Inferno took notice of a symbol on the opposing ship. It sparked the return of a memory, one that kicked opened a door that was long locked away.
SC72 and HS32 hold out for reinforcements.
The Flames of Revenge
On the flight home, Inferno couldn't get that image out of her mind. The insignia she saw. Andy watched as she collapsed and ushered the rest of us out of the room. Andy comforted her and slowly she began to speak. Her mind was racing with so much, she could barely breathe. But she muttered out something. The insignia was used by the humans that rose against the Phoenix before The Great Purge. A symbol forbidden by anyone in The Flame Realm and a symbol synonymous with those who are against The Phoenix. Scar received the news from Andy, and the conclusion was made about Helios. There was some personal reason he wanted the Phoenix gone.
Helios's motives become clear.
Reflection
Following the operation on the station, Gooko, along with Spike, held a debriefing for Inferno. She felt uneasy and confused talking about it. She didn't have a recollection of how these memories were apart of her, as they predated her birth. Even so, the info wasn't much. On the other hand, ScarClaw72 held a debrief with Night and Raven. They described being locked in a room. Helios brought in a big cylindrical device, that required two hands to carry. Raven described what happened as having felt her own life being sucked from her, which led to their weakened states. Night didn't have much to say, as usual, but he did mutter the name Flame Reaper. The title he heard Helios call the machine.
ScarClaw72 consulted with the other Warriors and they pieced together a plan. If this Flame Reaper had actually been taking their life energy, Dr. Dread had to be working for the Dark Guard. The Cosmic Barrier which divided The Muitiverse and The Void was designed such that only if enough power was exerted on both ends it would open. His genocide against Warriors was to collect enough Phoenix light to break it open. Since Warriors were filled with it, it was the best option he had.
Operation Redkey is laid out.
Operation Redkey
Operation Redkey was officially put into action. The only clue about where to search was a place called The Foundry, located on Krogan IX's moon. A place where most of the technology of that caliber was built. Miraculously, the debris from the planet had missed the satellite entirely. The object they were looking for was The Ethru Key- a fail safe that would seal off the Cosmic Border entirely. It was a last ditch effort because many thought the void is where The Phoenix had been hiding, since it disappeared. The Phoenix Legion's fleet would launch assaults at will to catch the attention of Dr. Dread, while the Warriors led s small fleet of veterans to retake Krogan IX. The only problem was, Dread had one of his largest concentration of ships their. It would take a massive risk, but it was their only lead.
A briefing is held, and the countdown begins.
Path of Cries
The Phoenix Legion compiled a large part of it's fleet and launched an attack without warning on the local Dreadbot fleet. The Phoenix Legion received minimal losses and managed to destroy the opposition swiftly. The Warrior's flew in, paired in starfighters, and mopped up enough to give them a straight shot to the moon of Krogan IX. The remains of Krogan IX proved difficult to navigate, but they made it in one piece. Some of The Warriors, ScarClaw72 included felt an aura of despair as they neared the debris field.
The Phoenix Legion sends most of it's fleet to the remains of Krogan IX.
Historic Findings
The Warriors snuck in and landed on moon of Krogan IX. They fought their way into The Foundry. ScarClaw72 searched alongside TheLastWarrior's team throughout the facility. Deep in it's heart, far beyond where young Warrior access was ever allowed, the Ethru key was found. It was in a small chamber with multiple priceless artifacts. ScarClaw72 removed the Ethru from it's glass casing, and the defenses of the temple activated.
TheLastWarrior searches a historic site to find the key.
Ambush
Raven ran to alert ScarClaw72 of a Dreadbot fleet arriving. The Phoenix Legion was being crippled by opposition. The Warrior's returned to their ships, but were being cut off from the rest of the fleet. Together, they had to cut through, taking a few ships with them. Night's starfighter was hit in the process, and with the Dreadship entering from subspace, thing's weren't looking good.
The Warriors must navigate through an ariel battlefield.
Promises to the Lost
The Dreadship decelerated and began firing at The Warriors. SC72 and RH11's ship was hit, leaving HS32 and EE16's ship to lead. They had no way around the Dreadship, and The Phoenix Legion was losing ships like flies in the rain. But Raven picked up an anomaly, shortly followed by the other Warriors. A fire began to emit from the center of the debris field. Scar saw Inferno, in a space dive toward the fire. She had a determined look on her face. When she made contact, a glaring light blinded the whole system. The Warrior's veered away from the field, but voices of all the Warriors could be heard, all the ones who had died here, screaming through their minds. The light dimmed and a loud sound of screeching metal was heard. The Dreadship had a large gaping hole through its center. It began collapsing in on itself, giving The Warriors the time to reunite with the fleet. Inferno went limp. Spike and Andy made a quick flight out and grabbed her. The second everyone was accounted for, the remains of The Phoenix Legion made a jump to Entis and Larma, deep inside Dread territory.
Even in death, heroes live.
Shattered Skies
The Phoenix Legion entered Entis and Larma airspace, tailed by the remaining Dreadbot fleet, and Dr. Dread in a lone starfighter. A battle wages over the planets. Dr. Dread pursues the Warriors himself. However The Warriors make it to Larma and land on it's surface, a desolate landscape almost resembling a swamp, but with everything decaying and blackened soil and water.
The Warriors race to Larma before it's too late.
Confrontation
Despite suggestions not to, Inferno led with The Warriors and TheLastWarrior's team into the temple on Larma. This was unfamiliar ground to them all, despite it being layout the same as Entis's. However Dr. Dread and Helios chased them into a backing. The two made some idle chatter before engaging the group. They held on, whilst Gooko, Venom, and Claws took the Ethru key and slipped away, trying to find the lock. Helios kept taunting Inferno, as if he knew something she didn't. He seemed so focused on her.
The Warriors come face to face with Dr. Dread and Helios.
Activation
The fight roared on, until the whole temple shook, violet lights glowing through the cracks of stone. Dread laughed and put his weapon away. Helios stood at the ready still. Suddenly, Dr. Dread have an off-putting smirk, and Helios happily grabbed his knife and stabbed him. Except Dr. Dread vanished into smoke. But his laughter, it roared the ground. The team formed up, but Helios dropped the news. They were too late. "It, had begun."
The confusion only deepens, but they do know one thing, something bad is about to happen.
Revelation
The Warrior's and TLW's team raced to their ships and flew away as they tried to figure out what was going on. Comm chatter was flooded, ScarClaw72 was trying to process what just happened, banter about what was going on with Inferno, and The Phoenix Legion was witnessing on the planet. All of it was running through Scar's head when Rose turned her head and grabbed Scar's hand. She was silent, but her eyes were weary. It relaxed him, and brought him back to the main problem at hand. SC72 ordered a clearing of comm channels and Venom explained what had happened. They managed to put the Ethru key in, but it wasn't functioning as it was supposed to. Even Gooko couldn't figure it out. But what caught the attention was what The Phoenix Legion reported. Everyone focused their attention to Larma. It was jaw dropping. A massive part of the planet was opening up, and a portal sprung to life. The laugh came again, and then it hit him. Dr. Dread wasn't working for The Dark Guard, he was The Dark Guard.
The identity of Dr. Dread is revealed.
The Way The World Ends
The portal sprung to life, and a wave of creatures came pouring out, like a faucet. They were black, lifeless, glitched beings of reality. Breaking the laws of physics and destroying anything they touched. Two major ships of The Phoenix Legion were gone in seconds. Swarmed then vanished from reality, stolen into The Void. The Corrupt was here, and began spreading at an alarming rate. Out of the options, everyone soared onto one of the ships and they all jumped to subspace before they were devoured where they stood. All that could run through SC72's mind was one phrase. This, is the way the world ends.
For the first time in forever, they've returned in full force..
New Memories
Inferno barely dragged herself into am empty room when they jumped to Subspace. Spike walked in, and spoke to her. He asked her about what was happening, back at Krogan IX, why Helios was so focused on her. She broke down, she had no idea. Not even her remnant memories could explain anything. Spike curled his tail around her, and calmed her down. He began to care little about his own memory problems, because for him, the one's he was making had more value than anything. He told this to her, and they both smiled. Then they both looked out the window as they left subspace. It would take a long time for the corrupt to get all the way here with no access to subspace, but it was coming. And they knew the worst was about to come.
Even as the Multiverse is being ripped apart around them, two share a moment of peace together.
