Chapter
Summary #1
Five years have passed since the Time Bender, Sir Pseudo Havering, was killed
by a band of warriors on a world of his creation: Zolott,
the planet made from scraps and fragments of other worlds. In the momentous
struggle to kill him, S.H.A.D.D.A.P Agent 707 Multehx
disappeared and the Xel'Naga Guardian of the Yoshi
Race, The Markior, sacrificed himself to destroy the Genesis,
the mighty flying fortress. Those involved were sent back to the worlds they
had been plucked from, their minds cleared of their memories, while some
remained to return home another way.
But, according to the Fa'dieli saying, "Time is
like a river, and history repeats…"
A Council of Twelve, Eleven of Havering's species, the Twilighter,
and an Infect, a powerful robot of Havering's creation, gathered together to
seek out the Creation's Weapons: armaments of great power, and the most
powerful of them all, the Creation Weapon, so as to use their power to
revive the great Pseudo Havering.
Alarmed by this, the Rip Watcher known only as CR (his real name remains
unknown to most) gathered together a band of heroes
known as the Spectrum Wanderers, for their vessel through space was left by
Havering, known as the Spectrum All Terrain Train. They were Omega Maroak, the robotic superhero of Parallel Earth, Scilas, the shady, mysterious assassin of the same world, Kenzo Yhezl, the Mechna Knight of Caelum, the ex-Infect Ratch Havoc, and an
enigmatic young human by the name of Ian, to act as the mechanic on board the Spectrum.
But surely he is not there for that reason alone…
Knowing the great power the Council wields, CR was not satisfied with his group
of five, and resorted to call those involved in Zolott
the first time around, even though their memories were regaining themselves
slowly, as well as many others. First was the Yoshi God of Warriors, Yoshi6400,
and his girlfriend Goddess of Healing, Sapphire. They plucked Naaro Karukylis from his
ceremonial installation as leader of the Karmali race
of Yoshin as the amulet signifying it passed onto his
wrist, him bringing his wife Rynn, and his child,
Kai. Then came the human Shinsei Aku, with an obnoxious Koopa,
Jade, stowing away on board as they left. The 36th Clone of Lord Mazzic Antagon was recruited,
followed by the Technicolor Hoshian Princess Prismaya with her powers over the night sky. With his hunt
for marbles continuing, the great (or so he thinks) Kyanosa
Canopus, and the Arcanian,
Kaye, were brought into the foray. Another ceremony was cut short as Dyluck Thanatos ("Call me
'Lich'") and Ark Beruga Yoshi von Kippo, the younger now a Fa'dieli
Guardian too, were drawn in - the elder brother suffering from his
teleportation sickness, Heratu's Syndrome. Next came the Precipiwizard Rainstorm
Yoshi, of the planet Nimbus, his powers over climate surely useful.
Yet, other forces were also gathering - sinister and vile, to seek the
Creation's Weapons for themselves. The Shadow Dimension dwelling Yoshi, Kurayami, with his fearful dark powers, still with DNA he
had collected from Havering, continued to seek a transformation to an
omnipotent form, sensing the Weapons as a key and the Wanderers a tool to
acquire them. He wielded the Nightmare Obsidian, which would trap the powers of
six Nightmares for its use. He had already imprisoned one, Darkness, but the
other five remained…
Meanwhile, the Yoshi killing Grand Admiral of the Tairez
Imperial Battlefleet, Richter Sprint, is also seeking
the Creation's Weapon, and with the power of the Tairez
Empire on his side, it will be no easy feat to stop him.
Another force brews in the form of Rexxor Malgonus, a Tyrannosaurian raised
from the dead by an evil priest, the two colluding to get their revenge on Naaro.
As they journeyed past a planet, a Protoss
fleet intercepted the Spectrum and arrested its occupants for the
disappearance of Markior (who was a hero in their
race). After their "slight" misunderstanding (which resulted in the
loss of a few Protoss lives), our heroes escaped and
resumed their journey, landing on a planet on which Vector Sprint, the hyper
fast running Yoshi from the future, and adopted brother of Richter, joined them
by accident. Nightmares of a world called Cocytus, a
planet of death, began to haunt Naaro's sleep.
Seeking answers, he journeyed into "the Void", a place of the dead,
to seek answers, only to be turned back. Rainstorm, too, was haunted by dreams,
except his had been already coming for a long time as part of a curse in a war
he had fought in long ago - he sought the remedy for his nightly images of
terror. Another nightmare: this time for Ian, being visited by none other than
Havering himself as he slept.
Leaving this world, they passed another one, however,
this planet was a breeding ground for the Protoss'
immortal enemy, the insectoid Zerg.
Originally seeking to recapture the Wanderers, the Praetor Artanis
helped them fight them off as he realised his race's mistake and set them on
their course for their next world, none other than Fa'diel.
This was because of the Mana Sword, and as CR listened to the Council discuss
their plans worded in foreign tongues (Lich translated), they landed only to
find that two members of the council, Nictem and NecronimusII had come before them. The Council knew that
the Guardian of the
But they were not the only ones with a crisis on their hands - Naaro was stalked by Moloch, the
same person who had told him to turn back in the Void, who gave him a message:
Come to Cocytus. In a dream he saw that a Creation's
Weapon lay in wait on the world, tempting him further. Soon, he woke up in a
ship driven by Rexxor with Vector, Ian, Rynn and Kai, bound for the planet of the undead; Jaded stowing away.
Also, uncharacteristically, Kyanosa stormed out of
the Spectrum after being confronted by Kaye who had had enough of him.
Kaye went to seek him, only to fight him as he wished to be alone and vented
his anger. He eventually fainted from exhaustion after flattening a good deal
of the nearby forest with his powers, re-awakening in his cabin after Kaye
brought him back. Redemption?
Alerted by the Mana Sword's theft, the Elementals, the eight magical beings of
Mana called for a meeting of Guardians the next day. Lich returned to the Spectrum
briefly to alert the Wanderers of his staying on Fa'diel
and discovered more enigmatic qualities about Ian, with Prism. The brothers
then traveled to the meeting to give their testimony,
only to step into the middle of the long quarrel between Theutes
Whalki, Guardian of the
The Spectrum left Fa'diel, while another
member mysteriously appeared on it: a human by the name of Joshua Renil. Meanwhile, the prisoners arrived on Cocytus to discover the purpose of their capture: helped
along by the Black Priest Belial, Naaro was to become
the physical host of the Essence of Evil, and the others were to be his test
subjects. The incarnation was successful, but held back by Belial, he did not
destroy the others as Jaded burst onto the scene demanding their release and
the Creation's Weapon on Cocytus. Belial decided that
they would play a little game - get to the pyramid they were standing on within
three days after being teleported to another part of the planet, without
flying, teleporting, or without using many of their powers, lest the cursed
soil claim them. It appears that Jaded knows the truth about Ian as they ran
across the planet…
While, on the Spectrum, the Twilight Council decided to reveal itself to the Wanderers and left after a small altercation,
the Cocytus prisoners arrived at the pyramid and
fought with Naaro. Rynn
told him to fight the Essence of Evil inside him though her love for him, and
received a message from the Essence's opposite, the Prime Dimensional Essence,
to bring Naaro to the planet of
Rainstorm told the others of two legendary swords, Guardian and Slayer, on
Nimbus, and the Spectrum headed for it, quickly joined by the mysterious
Sebastion Ebask. The Pentastar found the Spectrum and began to attack it.
After doubting his abilities at first, Yoshi6400 used his superpowers along
with Kyanosa's to cripple the ship, the battlecruiser limping towards the Tairez
owned world of Houshi to be joined by its sister
ship, the Ragnarok. However, a small fighter
left the battle and began to tail the Spectrum…
Vector, Rynn and Naaro
arrived at
Naaro left for Yoshin in
the Andromeda, only to find upon his
arrival that he was convicted of stealing the amulet that had been given to him
in his ceremony, and was arrested by a Yautja,
another race residing on, but not of, Yoshin. CR
revealed that Havering would have to be sealed in the mid-dimension four times
for him to truly die. Rynn had a dream of Naaro's arrest. Then, everyone landed on Nimbus and took up
residence in a nearby inn. Rainstorm knew that his past needed to be resolved
and he needed to cure himself of the curse of nightmares before he went for the
two swords, so he headed for the castle where he had it placed on him.
Meanwhile, things on Yoshin began to heat up.
Firstly, Naaro was put before the council of elders,
their discrimination towards his race evident and welling up hate inside him.
He summoned a mobile suit known as Red Midas and fled for the Yoshira del Sol islands,
specifically the temples on them, for another Creation's Weapon.
Ian left the group as a force inside him made itself
known, a rather familiar one at that, and awaited the help of a professor and
his robotic assistant to let it come to fruition. It would have happened had
not CR followed him and forced it to flee. Meanwhile, Kyanosa
considered his treatment as an outcast of the group…it seems the outlandish
fellow has a deeper side…
Sebastion left for the capital but met an old
"friend", Drax, along the way, who also is
in the Weapon hunt…
Naaro touched down at
"I am Telaia Yoshindra,
the ancient protector of Yoshin. I lie
in eternal sleep now, but my sword, Halcyon, still remains. When the time has
come for Yoshin to face its final hour, wield this
mighty blade above the fields of battle...only the hand of the One Who
Defies Stone may decide the fate of those closest to him. The sword speaks
with the voice of he who wields him...its will is your will. Use it as you
wish, but remember not to tangle with its great power...also, remember the Fate
of All Gods...the Devil's
Suddenly, the Global Ocular Destroyer Satellite (GODS) fires upon
Vector, piloting Merlin, landed on Yoshin,
moments before the Pentastar and the Ragnarok came into orbit around Yoshin,
tailed by a detachment of carrier ships. Richter had traced Vector to the
world, and now, in his hate for Yoshies, set about destroying the planet,
focusing on
Naaro arrives at the home of the scientist who had
created Red Midas, Dr. Yoszhi von Denker, and gets himself a new mobile suit: the Horus. Immediately after leaving in it, he engages
in a fight with four Viper type suits, and is helped a mysterious
arrival: Meister Strager, piloting the J-Vector.
As if the attack on Yoshin isn't enough, the Council
came together to "divide and conquer": that is, go to many of the
planets housing Creation's Weapons and take them in groups. CR heard of this
(being Rip Watcher means he can be omnipresent at times…) and created rip holes
to divide the Wanderers up to counter them, however, Scilas,
Jaded, Ian and Omega were asked to stay with him, as well as Rainstorm. He
returned to the castle, that place of pain in the war he had fought in a long
time ago, and removed the curse placed on him by destroying a particular
crystal.
Rynn found herself meeting her old best friend, Alara, who, in revenge for Rynn's
seeming to leave her to die, did battle with her. Rynn
escapes (the method not to her knowledge, but CR has to do with it…) and
appeared at her home on Yoshin. Little did she know
what she had stepped into the middle of…
Kaye, Kyanosa and Mazzic
find themselves in
Vector continues in the battle, and makes a break for space to take on the
ships. Merlin is "made non-functional" as a hyperlaser slices through him, but Vector escapes in a lifepod, only to be drawn in by the Pentastar's
tractor beam, and is made the prisoner of Richter…
6400 and Sapphire were sent to Yamauchi, and found themselves in the Warrior
God's Crystal Fortress. After receiving a message from Naaro,
the two entered the StarDragon 002 and messaged
CR to open a warphole to Yoshin,
which he does.
The couple rendezvous with Naaro, and give his suit
"a lift" to Yoshitopia, where a large plume
of smoke rises…
Little does everyone but CR know that the Council are now making their presence
felt on their homeworlds…will they succeed and revive
Havering? Only time will tell, but time is definitely in the
hands of one particular demon…
