=Rise of the Xi'Arazulha=

Summoning
Meanwhile, in the, the maniac cult of the  prepared to colonize a new planet. As their laws say, the first building that must be erected in a new planet must be Corruptus Shrine, as they believed that doing this would give them their god's blessing and good luck. The colonists channeled their entropy into the Shrine and worshipped Shu'ulathoi, but while doing this, they were also attracting two other beings.

The cultists felt a presence watching them. They believed it to be Shu'ulathoi, but were very mistaken. Two towering beings took form next to the Shrine. They were something never seen before by the cultists. Believing to have channeled demons of the Corruptus, they cheered, and then gasped as the two beings started to absorb their energies. In mere seconds, all cultists were reduced to bones. These beings were.

The two Xi'Arazulha looked around, their mere presence changing the environment around them. One of them kicked the Corruptus Shrine down like it was made of sand.

"We have reached Borealis thanks to the energies of these foolish mortals. The Overseer will be pleased."

"Now it's time to come back and report. Death draws near to this galaxy, and nothing shall stop us from unleashing our wrath."

The two Xi'Arazulha were gone, and the planet was reduced to a lifeless rock. The dark souls of the Vi'Navitum had invaded Borealis...

Death of a mercenary
In an unknown place of Borealis, three beings conversated...

??? - The souls of this galaxy will make a fine feast. ??? - Do not forget, though, the Junction and the Vyro'Narza both have presence in this place. ??? - ''Bah! We wil eliminate the Junction and devour the Vyro'Narza!'' ??? - Just like we did with the Vi'Navitum! ??? - ''I believe the Xol'Etra may also be involved in this. I wonder how they taste like...'' ??? - And the inhabitants of the Ottzello Sector will make a very fine start! ??? - ''Silence! We still have things to destroy.'' ??? - ''Oh, yes. Forgive me, o great ...''

One of the beings was identified as Xi'Arazkha. Xi'Arazkha was the fragmented being of Vi'Naherza, most known as Verezuon. A being of incredible power, Xi'Arazkha was a dark god who hungered for power, and planned to waste the entire galaxy for it.

Xi'Arazkha - ''When time comes, we will strike. Volzara herself will bow before my wrath!'' Mac - Not if I have anything to say about it!

Mac appeared, preparing his weapons. The two other Xi'Arazulha backed up, and Xi'Arazkha laughed at him.

Xi'Arazkha - ''You? Sorry excuse of a living being, I cannot absorb you. Your soul was already taken by Zr'An'Kar.'' Mac - Bullshit! Xi'Arazkha - ''Do not forget your place, whelp! I am a god, and you are nothing!''

Mac growled.

Mac - I'm gonna show you that I've proven gods ain't shit.''

Xi'Arazkha laughed, his laugh causing reality itself to tremble around him. Mac pulled out his sword, and slashed Xi'Arazkha with it, who felt no pain.

Xi'Arazkha - You have sealed your fate, fool.

Xi'Arazkha stabbed his hand through Mac's chest. Then, Xi'Arazkha picked up Mac, howled at him, and kicked him away. He then fired blasts at Mac with little effort, who lay on the floor. Mac simply lay lifeless. He was dead.

Xi'Arazkha - ''Now, Zr'An'Kar, feel free to do anything you want with his body. I have more important things to do.''

Kolossus materalized next to Mac's body and took it away.

Kolossus - Certainly...

Enraging the cyborgs
The Xi'Arazulha were almost done with their preparations, but noticed there was something that could actually give them trouble. A transdimensional hive mind known as inhabited Borealis, and their incredibly advanced technology could be used to fight against the Xi'Arazulha. They knew that, years ago, the Junction already succeeded in keeping the Xhodocto themselves off Borealis in the War of Ages.

A single Xi'Arazulha entered the region of space known as the "Grim Reaper Sector". The moment the being entered the sector, it was already attacked by a gigantic swarm of Junction drones. The amount of damage was so intense, the Xi'Arazulha was actually starting to feel pain from them. More Xi'Arazulha appeared and destroyed the drones, which just caused more to appear. This enemy was more powerful than they initially though.

Using their powers, the Xi'Arazulha all advanced through the Sector, destroying the seemingly infinite swarm of drones until they came across a. Thinking of it as a good wya of inducing fear, the beings invaded the Planet Fortress and damaged its core, causing it to explode in a dark energy blast which also incinerated all drones nearby.

Upon to returning to Shard, the Xi'Arazulha found that Xi'Arazkha was quite unhappy with the results.

Xi'Arazkha - ''Poinless. You have tried to induce fear on an enemy that knows no fear. This have merely caused their wrath. But still, if we destroy these so called "Planet Fortresses", they will not be able of stopping us when we finally make our move. Now, get out of my front.''

Xi'Arazkha knew the Junction was a real threat, but he now knew how to fight it.

Spreading the plague
The Xi'Arazulha observed on how they could disable the Junction's massive military in a way which was not pointless suicide. It was then that they turned their eyes to the, where the Infernovirus was spreading quickly after it had infected the local Grox. This gave the Xi'Arazulha an idea which could doom the entire galaxy. Exactly what they wanted.

A Xi'Arazulha teleported to Andromeda and captured an infected Grox Spaceship, transporting it to Borealis. The Ship was then released in the middle of Junction territory, quickly infecting all nearby synths.

With the Junction too busy fighting itself, the Xi'Arazulha took the opportunity to strike, attacking their Planet Fortresses. Due to how fast the Virus advanced, it was actually capable of overwhelming the hive mind.

With their Planet Fortresses all destroyed by the Xi'Arazulha and the Virus spreading faster than they could contain, the Junction retreated and teleporting to another dimension. They were now out of the Xi'Arazulha's way, who first turned their eyes to the Ottzello Sector. They had plans for both the inhabitants and their creators...

Terrorizing the natives
While the Infernovirus expanded in the Arm of Wildness of Borealis, the Xi'Arazulha moved to the edges of the Arm of Knowledge, in their way to Ottzello. They would soon enter the territory of a large civilization known as the, and feeling particularly devious, decided to pay them a visit.

In the peaceful colony of Masfevis, and  children played while the planet's defenses did their usual job. One of these children noticed something watching in a dark alley of the city, and went to investigate. Little did he know, the being was a Xi'Arazulha, who used its energies to suck all the life off the child. More Xi'Arazulha appeared and did the same to all nearby, reducing all life in the city to empty shells.

The planet's defenses mobilized themselves to the invaders and fired their weapons. The Xi'Arazulha, however, felt no pain from their mortal weapons, and laughed as they kept sucking the life out of everything.

The Xi'Arazulha left the planet, which was reduced to a lifeless rock. It was a good meal, but they were still hungry for more.

Arriving at Ottzello
In UNOL, a new topic was arousin. It seemed that the loss of Tuolog and Feldosia, which was already causing problems for the empire, was about to become the least of their worries. UNOL met together...

- It is dark times... - i miss tuolog man he wus a funny dood - Don't we all? - But remember, we're about to recieve the biggest test to our strength since the Third Ottzello War. Zr'Ahgloth - ''I WANNA KILL KOLOSSUS. DEN I WANNA KILL FRE'KLOAR AN ALL DAT LOT. DEY KEEP KILLIN OUR HOMIES HOW DUMS DIS'' - ''We all do, Zr'Ahgloth. Even I do, and I barely have a personality.'' Valzo - ''Hey guys, for the while, I want to temporarily give UNOC some of UNOL's rights. As in, I want them in these meetings.'' Kralgon Emperor - I don't see why not.

,, and  entered the room.

King Thylaxiz - You called? Zr'Ahgloth - SAFE MAN NOW THR'ALOY CAN B IN DA IMPORTANT STOOF TOO Thr'aloy - ''WAT MAN YOO WAS HAVIN ALL DIS IMPORTANT STOOF BEHIND MA BAK? MAN YOR DUM'' Count Delverat - ''I've heard of Tuolog's death. It is a shame, as I won't be able of tasting his blood...'' Tralkik Commander - ''We don't have time to discuss this. I'm picking up a transmission from .''

King Rebaris appeared in a screen, scared.

King Rebaris - ''Attention, a new threat has been detected in our galactic arm. It is something totally alien to us, capable of leeching the life out of entire worlds!'' Count Dalverat - ''New threat? I wonder how their blood taste...'' Kralgon Emperor -'' Oh forgive us, when Tuolog and Feldosia died, we've had UNOC have temporary access rights to UNOL, so you'll see some new faces here. Anyway, can you show us some footage of this threat?''

King Rebaris showed images of the Xi'Arazulha attacking an Imperium planet.

Yogtam - Wait, are these... Tralkik Commander - From replicating Tuolog's thought patterns with my AI, I can confirm that they are the Xi'Arazulha. Valzo - Oh my god... King Rebaris - You know these beings? Kralgon Emperor - We know a lot about the Omnipotents, and these are the turned bad by the .

King Rebaris scratched his head, not knowing anything about the omnipotent races.

King Rebaris - By the way, I've got another thing to show you. Kralgon Emperor - ''I'll send you a database about them. But first, what do you have to show us?''

King Rebaris showed the footage he captured of Xi'Arazkha killing Mac.

King Rebaris - That was a friend of yours, right?

All of UNOL gasped, except Zr'Ahgloth. Zr'Ahgloth yawned, then realised what was on the image.

Zr'Ahgloth - DATS DA COPYCAT GOD OF BLING Kralgon Emperor - Hell yeah we know who that is... Thr'aloy - dats dum man dat one fing killed our god hows dat even possibul Yogtam - ''Thr'aloy, this is NOT about you. The entire universe is at sake here. Tuolog, Mac AND Feldosia were the only ones capable of Gyronic powers, and they're ALL dead!'' Thr'aloy - woah blud calm down Yogtam - ''CALM DOWN?! This is SERIOUS!'' Thr'aloy - I KNO BUT DERES NUFFIN WE CAN DO

Count Dalverat coughed loudly, trying to make his presence known.

Count Dalverat - ''Meh, just fight them and defend ourselves. What's the issue?'' Kralgon Emperor - The fact they are a godrace is an issue, Dalverat. Count Dalverat - ''I'm well aware of that. I never said it was going to be an easy matter. All I said was that it's nothing new.'' King Rebaris - Truly you can't be serious. Count Dalverat - Can't be serious about what? King Rebaris - ''Calling this issue nothing new. Nothing of such magnitude has ever happened to the galaxy since the war between the Cold Ones and the Grox!'' Count Dalverat - ''Oh, you'd be surprised. We've seen much worse, us Ottzelloans.'' Kralgon Emperor - ''And Dalverat's seen more. People of his planet seem to have some unique ability to see throughout time.'' King Rebaris - Hmm... Zr'Ahgloth - MAN LOOK AT DIS Kralgon Emperor - We're busy! Zr'Ahgloth - IM SERIOUS MAN

UNOL looked outside the window. 5 Xi'Arazulha flew to the planet.

Valzo - Uh-oh... Thr'aloy - ''OH MA DAYZ DEYZ HEER. BOYZ PROTECT DA PIZZA STORES AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!'' Zr'Ahgloth - ''DEYZ COMIN AFTA OUR PIZZA? LETS GO BATTA DEM IN DIS CASE''

Everyone facepalmed.

Dalverat - ''You all seem to have no idea how to fight. I think I'll lead the force.'' Thr'aloy - SHUT UP MAN IM A BETTA FIGTA DAN YOO Dalverat - ''Irrelevant. You have no idea how to defend a planet.'' Thylaxiz - ''This UNOC's position. Me and Darwishi vote for Dalverat, so he'll be the attacker. And the Tralkik Commander has given full permision, as has the UNO Omega Commander. So, Dalverat will go.'' Thr'aloy - YOR ALL LOSAS

Dalverat's personal craft landed on the world. The Defence Pods on the planet deployed troopers quickly, and many landed from orbital systems, meaning a sizable force was now defending the planet.

Inalton trooper - Ah, Dalverat.

The Inalton saluted.

Dalverat - ''Greetings. The Xi'Arazulha are here and we'll push them out. Are all the forces prepared?'' Inalton trooper - ''Affirmative. The Behquiniar and Loron make up most of the force currently, as standard procedures go. There re also plenty of Grimbolsaurian, Tralkikianoe, Marinox, and various other species making up the other 60% of the force, and of course, all citizens have their weapons on standby. Any adjustments you'd like to make to this defence?'' Dalverat - It seems enough, perhaps we could get some Katel squads to suck the life out of the enemies, and some Radeon troopers as their experience with essence can be very useful. Inalton trooper - ''Of course. We already have a few, which were part of those various others I mentioned, but several more would be useful.'' Kralgon commander - ''Ok, the fleet is currently in combat with 3 of the Xi'Arazulha. We assume the other 2 are going to be sent down to your position...'' Dalverat - ''Prepare yourselves, men! We'll show them the might of the Nation!'' Inalton trooper - ''Affirmative! All troopers, you heard the commander, prepare to- SHIT GET DOWN!''

A Xi'Arazulha blast came from seemingly nowhere. When the trooper with Dalverat looked at where it came rom...

Inalton - ''Xi'Arazulha! FIRE- ARGH!''

The trooper was dead.

Dalverat - ''Aah! How did they do this so fast?'' Radeon - ''We and some Katel will accompany you. I suggest slowing down time, for us; slowing it down for them will be irrelevant as they aren't affected, but for us means we can go faster and can see what happens quicker. We'll also speed our own movement up as well, making us much faster, and more capable of figthing them.'' Dalverat - Good idea.''

This was done. On the hill, many forces were rushing to the two Xi'Arazhula, trying to stop them reaching the city at all costs.

Katel - All right, let's get him from behind.

The Xi'Arazulha turned and destroyed the troopers with ease, however. It moved through the battlefield and attacked Dalverat's group, killing all but him. The Xi'Arazulha held Dalverat by his neck, who couldn't free himself.

Dalverat - I have not...endured the centuries...only to be brough low now!

Dalverat tried to bite the Xi'Arazulha's hand to suck its energies, but his teeth were broken. The Xi'Arazulha laughed as it ripped Dalverat's head off and sucked the enmies from his body. Nothing but his skeleton remained, which fell on the ground like rocks.

UNOL and UNOC all escaped the planet, which was destroyed moments later. Their essence masters were all dead, and the Xi'Arazulha were only beginning...

Da Rogue Boyz hit
Meanwhile, on a ship known as Da Propa Big Rogue Krooza...

Fre'kloar - ''BOYZ. I GOT TWO FINGS TA ANNOUNCE.'' Dark Fre'kloar - ''DAT YOR DUM? WE ALREADY KNO DAT''

Fre'kloar slapped Dark Fre'kloar

Fre'kloar - oi dark zr'ahgloth remind me whai we edven keep dis dood Dark Zr'Ahgloth - hes propa tuff also he gave me a lot of pizza Fre'kloar - ''meh. ANYWAYZ.

Fre'kloar - YEH MAN LOOK AT WA DA GEEK HAS TA SHOW US

The Propa Big Rogue Geek showed video footage of Fre'kloar in his personal starfighter.

Grak'tona - i kno Fre'kloar suks at drivin but dats not doom man Fre'kloar on video - ''hey homie Xi'Arazula i fink its called? yeh we saw yoo battered uno. we respect dat man wanna be allies?''

Fre'kloar's personal craft was then destroyed, in a split second.

Fre'kloar - HELL WAS DUM IM GLAD I GO CLONED QUIKLY Jol'kiar - WES DOOMED CUS FRE'KLOARS GETTIN NICE

Fre'kloar slapped Jol'kiar.

Fre'kloar - DESE PEEPZ PROPA TUFF MAN I ENT EVEN JOKIN Naktor'zak - well see how tuff is dem wen i RUN DEM OVA Fre'kloar - DEYZ WAY BIGGA DAN YA TANK MAN Naktor'zak - dum

While the other Loron were thinking about that, Dark Zr'Ahgloth had picked up something in the conversation...

Dark Zr'Ahgloth - ''WAIT DEY BATTARED UNO? WHEN DID DAT HAPPEN?'' Fre'kloar - ''hur. AN YEH IT WAS LIEK YESTADAY OR SOMFIN DEY KILLED UNOS DADK TUOLOG OR DARTH VERAT OR WATEVA DAT VAMPIYA DOOD IS CALLED'' Brag'klogga - how dum man i wanted ta kill tuolog den dat losa dark gratz came in an killed him furst Voa'reak - IMMA COM DOWN ON DESE PEEPZ AN SMASH DEM BEFOR DEY GO UP

Seeing that no Loron was thinking straight, Rel'larutina spoke up.

Rel'larutina - To be honest, I think Brag'klogga should fight the Xi'Arazhula. Brag'klogga - YEH I FEEL LIKE ZAPPIN SOM PEEPZ Rel'larutina - Considering these guys we're up against have power, I reckon we should send our guy with power to find out if that's our only way of killing them. Dark Zr'Ahgloth - IM MOR POWAFUL...i dunno how ta use da powas yet BUT STILL Rel'larutina - ''We gotta find out though. Don't you all agree?'' Kal'kuir - ''I HAV A BETTA IDEA.

Fre'kloar - SHUT UP MAN IM DA BOSS YOO DO WAT I SEY Grat'kona - ''AHEM. WHO HAS DA CROWN HEER?'' Dark Zr'Ahgloth - OI WAT ABOOT ME

The three started to fight around.

Rel'larutina - ''Sheesh. Brag'klogga, I'd just go now if I were you.'' Brag'klogga - ''I DO WAT I WANT. AN...yeh i wanna go dere nao''

Brag'klogga teleported away.

On the surface of the planet...

Flashie - OI BRAG'KLOGGA YOR DERE? Bra'klogga - YEH MAN Flashie - ''SIK MAN DEYZ ARRIVIN ALREDY. I HERD DA LEEDAS WANT LOADS OF FLASIES HEER YEH SO I CAEM ALONG WIV MA BOYZ.

DEM INVADAS IS GONNA GET PWNED'' Loron skater boy - IMMA CHEK OUT WAT HAPPENS YEH? Brag'klogga - YEH YOO DO DAT

The Crazy Boyz on skateboards and rollar skates all headed off to the battle. Suddenly, a skateboarder was blasted, and flew off his skateboard into the Xi'Arazhula's mouth. All th Loron with skateboards died, while those on rollar skaters simply ran the opposite direction.

Crazy Boyz - RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN Brag'klogga - WAT DA HELL STOP BEIN COWARDS Crazy Boyz - SHUT UP MAN HAV YOO SEEN DEM? Brag'klogga - ''I DUNT RUN FER NO THICO. OI FLASHIES LETS SHOW DEM OUR SIK POWAS''

The Flashies prepared their Dark Gyronic, while a Carria went ahead of them, and crashed into the Xi'Arazhula, while the Boyz jumped out and fired at it. The Xi'Arazulha launched a wave of energy at the Boyz, killing them with ease, and was then hit by the Dark Gyronic, which actually managed to knock it away slighty.

Brag'klogga - ITS WORKIN MA KEEP IT UP

The Xi'Arazulha looked angered at the Flash Boyz and used its energy, destroying great part of them. Brag'klogga - OI MAN I GOT AN IDEA. Flashie - WATS DAT MAN Brag'klogga - ''YOO LOT ALL PROVIDE YA POWA TO ME. IM GONNA CHARG UP DA BIGGEST BLAST EVA K?'' Flashie - SIK MAN

The Flash Boyz all empowered Brag'klogga, while the Xi'Arazulha approached slowly.

Brag'klogga - IMMM GOOOOONNNA BLOOOOOOWWW DIIIIIISSS MUTHAAAAFUUUUUUUKKKKKAAAAAA!!!!! Flashie - FIRE MAN HES GETTIN TOO CLOSE

Brag'klogga's eyes shined bright red completely... An explosion. No one could see a thing, from the battlefield.

Flashie - WATS GOIN ON???

Everyone was too deaf, even for Loron, to hear a thing.

Flashie - ''I CANT C A FING. I CANT HEER A FING. AM I DED? IF I AM DEN HEAVEN SUKS''

Suddenly, their sight cleared. The Xi'Arazhula was gone, but in its place was a watermelon.

Flashie - OI MAN ITS ONE OF DEM JUNKSHION BOSSES...no wait its just a watamelon hur

The Flashie squashed it, and then ate it for himself.

Another Flashie - dat wus sik but WAT DA HELL JUS HAPPENED

They all turned around, and in Brag'klogga's place was a chimpanzee. Flashie - WATS DAT FING MAN

The Chimp squealed in ordinary chimp fashion.

The Flashie cried, and Fre'kloar slapped him.

Fre'kloar - EVEN IF HE WUS ALIV WE WOULD NEVA ASK HELP FRUM UNO IDIOT

The Flashie continued to cry, but then had an idea.

Flashie - ''MEH. ANYWAYZ WAT ABOUT DEM CARETAKAS?''

For once, Fre'kloar had been focusing, and the Geek hadn't.

Propa Big Rogue Geek - ''What? Sorry, I was busy playing pacman.'' Fre'kloar - PAY ATTENSHION MAN WE GOT A PROBLEM HEER Propa Big Rogue Geek - ''If you're wondering what to do with the chimp, then go ask the Caretakers. That's what I'd do, as they seem to be only ones who'd know about this stuff.'' Flashie - TOLD YOO Knar'gank - yor dum

Meanwhile...

Zargoth - Kolossus, please tell me, what is the problem? Kolossus - I wanted the Dark Verezaph here, but...I didn't want to go after my Loron! Zargoth - ''We only have very vague control of them. VERY vague control, remember?'' Kolossus - I know but still, they are causing more harm than benefict so far. Zargoth - ''When the time comes, we shall unleash the Vague, or the Warriors of Genoicde. But now, we'll just play with our confused little Xi'Arazhula and let them do all the work for us. Understood?'' Kolossus - Uhh...yes, master. Zargoth - Good.

Zargoth pondered for a while, sitting back on his throne.

Zargoth - You may leave now. Kolossus - Leave? Zargoth - Oh, did I not tell you? Kolossus - I don't think you did. Zargoth - ''Well, when your mind is as busy as mine you forget these things... Anyway. I want you to leave them clues.'' Kolossus - Oh I see. Zargoth - ''And while you're at it, make the Caretakers... co-operable.'' Kolossus - Will do. Zargoth - ''Excellent. That is all.''

Kolossus disappeared. Zargoth grinned to himself a little, then simply sat back at his throne and thought for some more.

The Consortium Network's attempt
Over in the Wranploer Palace...

Falrik Zaarkhun - First of all, I want to make sure you all know why I've called this meeting. Torrent - ''What's this about? I was having fun blowing that colony up and everything.'' Falrik Zaarkhun - Let me assure you, that if you don't heed my warnings, then someone ekse wil have fun blowing up our colonieds Volim - Just say it already. Falrik Zaarkhun - ''Now, now, now, I was just making sure. Anyway-''

Falrik Zaarkhun displayed images of the Xi'Arazhula's attacks on UNO.

Volim - What are those things? Falrik Zaarkhun - ''I've heard rumours from an old friend, who escaped prison with me some time ago, that UNO's scientists have eliminated all possibilities but the fact that they are Vi'Navitum, turned evil. Vi'Navitum are...''

Zaarkhun showed Volim a fact file on the Vi'Navitum, instead of explaining himself. Volim scratched his head.

Torrent - Well that's something. Falrik Zaarkhun - ''Exactly. The problem is, how do we get rid of them? Volim - ''Can't we use our most powerful weaponry of these? UNO were idiots and tried to fight them with ground forces.'' Falrik Zaarkhun - ''We could... but it's not as simple as just use their weapons. You know how I think, Volim. We need some tactic that will result in the lowest possible losses and the quickest way to eliminate them... at the lowest cost.'' Volim - And what do you suggest?

Zaarkhun scratched his head.

Genrai Nal - ''You can think of something, Falrik... you always do!'' Falrik Zaarkhun - ''...I got nothing. I don't mean something that can meet those criterias... I have literally no plan of defeating them.'' Volim - ''Ugh. What do we do then? I've got enough problem with UNO's magic tricks. These Xi'Whatever are gonna stomp us like insects.'' Falrik Zaarkhun - ''Oh we don't have to worry about UNO at all, they're too busy fighting Arazhula. I say... for now we jus need to fight them. Evalutate their skills in battle, and weaknesses. See if there;s any methods I can develop from there.''

Volim sighed and sat on his throne, thinking.

Sollow - ...so what are we waiting for? Volim - A strategy, that's what. Sollow - ''We can't develop a strategy when we have no clue what we're up against. We need to fight them.'' Volim - Fine.

Volim warped them inside the Iron Fist, and took a fleet to fight against 3 Xi'Arazhula heading for Wranploer territory.

Sollow - ''Woah... look at the size of them!'' Torrent - ''They aren't that big. They seem like, 6 meter tall. I've killed things much bigger than that.'' Sollow - Not that one, THAT ONE!

Sollow pointed at the one behind the two in front, which was growing in size.

Volim - Uh-oh... Falrik Zaarkhun - Fire everything we've got!

The Iron Fist fired particle weapons at the Xi'Arazhula, in desperation. The Xi'Arazulha felt no pain from the weapons.

Volim - It's not working...! Falrik Zaarkhun - ''Of course, particle weapons wouldn't work on them... Gah, I need to think...'' Torrent - Think fast, it's getting close. Falrik Zaarkhun - ''What does it look like I'm doing? ...Ok, I got it... but I haven't got it.''

Volim fired the ship's anti-matter weaponry at the Xi'Arazulha, which felt the weapon hitting it but felt no pain.

Volim - Oh come on! Falrik Zaarkhun - ''No no no, it's extra dimensional, these things won't work. So like I said, I know what we need... but the weapon isn't installed in this ship.v Volim - Then we are basically screwed. Falrik Zaarkhun - ''All the weapons... ALL the weapons I can think of are banned... except under one military protocol that UNO has, which permits their usage in certain situations. Ok, I know what we need.'' Ship computer - ''Warning! Warning! Hostile detcted aboard the ship!'' Sollow - ''What?! But there's no life form aboard, it says!'' Falrik Zaarkhun - Do you REALLY think these things wll give off life forms? Volim - ''Aaaargh! I'll check this.''

Volim, Torrent and a group of soldiers went investigate.

Falrik Zaarkhun - ''...He could have at least offered to get my help. Anyway, I'll just stay behind and look after the ships' systems. This thing could well be going down...''

Volim and his group kept investigating.

Suddenly, the ship shook hugely, and they slipped and fell against the walls of the ship. When they got up, a xi'Arazhula was waiting for them.

Volim - ''Damn it. Open fire!''

The group all fired their weapons at the Xi'Arazulha, in desperation. However, it carried on walking slowly, its eyes going red. It was taunting their inability to fire.

Torrent - It's no use, our weapons can't even scratch this thing.v Volim - We need to retreat!''

Volim and his group ran away, and the Xi'Arazhula didn't attack them, due to the ships' interior weapons firing at it, buying Volim's groups time to escape. They ran until they met a dead end.

Torrent - Okay, going this way was a bad idea. Volim - It's like I'm talking to a wall! Falrik (on speakers) - Volim, I'm going to open up a path to get to the escape pods, but you'll have to be quick if you want to escape. Volim - Do it already!

The doors opened, and Volim ran through. Torrent hurried all the soldiers through, but when going through himsef, the ship shook hugely, and he fell to his knees.

Torrent - What now?

Torrent tried to get through all the wires, and a Xi'Arazhula was right behind him. He tried his best, but the ship was shaking,a s was his grip. In a distance, part of the ship tore from another part.

Torrent - Oooh noo!! Soldier - ''Torrent, get through... you can make it!'' Torrent - I'm trying damnit!

The Xi'Arazhula was right behind Torrent. The path to get to the escape partswas beginning to split, and already everyone felt their air slowly running out...

Xi'Arazhula - Your time is up...

The Xi'Arazhula was about to tear the gap completely, when suddenly...

Genrai Nal - Torrent, run!

Genrai Nal engaged in combat with the Xi'Arazhula, and sliced at it. While he didn't do much damage, he wasn't intending to. Torrent took the time to escape.

Soldier - ''Great. Now everyone, get into the escape pod. No time to enter co-odinates, just escape!''

Everyone got into the escape pod the fastest they could. As the pod blasted off, Volim's men looked out of the indow as it flew to another planet... and saw the Iron Fist break into several pieces, and each part blow up one by one.

Soldier - We can only assume they're all dead. Volim - ...It makes no difference.

Silence.

Soldier - ''How can you say that?! After all Zaarkhun and his men have brought us you don't care about his death??'' Volim - ''It was only a matter of time until Zaarkhun turned against us. Through that smile I could see the face of a backstabbing snake.'' Soldier - ''If he was going to backstab you, then why did he control the ship to help us? Why did he open th door to the escape pods, or use the defences to still that... that thing?'' Volim - Because he plans things far ahead than we can know. Soldier - ''Well... Torrent, what do you think?''

Torrent stared at the ship, which was now debris.

Torrent - ''I don't care for Zaarkhun. But Genrai Nal...he was a respecful soldier...'' Soldier - He must have been brave if he was gonig to save you like that.

Volim shook his head.

Volim - I think he's way too mysterious for my liking. Soldier - ''True... I'm not sure what I think of Zaarkhun's men. But well, we have to survive on our own, until we can get back.''

Torrent just stood quiet.

Volim - We need a way to communicate with our fleet or we'll be trapped in this planet. Soldier - ''I'll find some way. Eventually.''
