Interesting. Very interesting.

The woman had a certain aura around her, resembling that of himself. The disliking of the terrans. Interesting, for she resembled them slightly. Except for the power and shape, the tail and abilities, her anatomy had many alikeness with those of a terran. The limbs, the structure, the speech... Still, she was very different. Not to mention her powers seemed admirable.

Having disposed of any possible threats, Markior extended a translucent hand towards Adrian. "Welcome aboard" He smiled, the smile turning into a grin as her hand passed through his. Without a word, he turned around. "Please follow me." Adrain looked puzzled. This lizard was a ghost, or spirit. And that means... he was vulth'n. Just like Optional. His form wasn't exactly too friendly-looking either. Total blackness as a body, and those eyes... always pupiless. Lich placed a hand on her shoulder, snapping her out of her thouhts and moving along after the Markior.

"So what exactly happened, the Markior?" She asked while walking true the blue/yellow hallways of the in-repair ship. The guardian of the Yoshi species lifeted a hand. "Please. Just 'Markior' will do." He responded psychically. His eyes shimmered a soft glow. "I must be honest and tell the truth... but the events happened so far got on my nerves. You see.." He turned around slightly while continueing to hover forward. "I am not a vulth'n, as you thought." Adrian looked surprised. He could read her thoughts? "I am a creation of an ancient species called the Xel'Naga. And ever since my creation, nothing was out of my reach." Adrian nodded. "Indeed, such things have proven to be the best cause for a soul to become evil." Lich smiled as he walked behind the two, listening to Markior telling the words he heard many times. "But I turned good after several events I won't go in to... but the fact is..." He swallowed. "This is the first time I've actually felt threatened in my entire life." He turned around again, moving towards a closed door, the door opening when he nears it.

"So... Markior. You know more then you're telling me. What is so threatening that it worries someone like you? Markior passed a few screens, the screens turning on as he passes them. "Sir Pseudo Havering has a plan... more horriefieng then anything else. And he has partially already succeeded in it. The reason I snapped was that I feel next to useless, because it's seemingly unstoppable." Lich widened one eye... this was new. "What is it then, Markior?" He asked. The spirit responded sadly. "I'm afraid we may have lost Multex, in this war, my friends."

Meanwhile, in the dark castle.

Ulrezaj grinned as he saw Aurora and Dragon battle against each other, his peons growing stronger, and stronger, with each passing moment. "Soon, my lizards... very soon... My master plan will unfold. Havering still has no clue for what I have in store for him..." His yellow eyes bursted into psionic flames. "The ancient art will relive itself within me... And I will assimilate that demon into myself... So I will once again become the most powerful being in the Multiverse." The Dark Archon once again bursted into a ravenous laughter once more, echoing through the damp hallways of the morphed castle, which once belonged to Havering himself.

The time is coming... soon, these two will grow strong enough to pose a threat to Havering. His self-assurance will of course make him send his copies to me, like the one I mindcontrolled..." He clenched a disembodied fist. "He mocked me... he made a fool out of me..." His tunic shimmered brightly in it's golden glow. "I will teach him once and for all... nothing will ever withstand the power of the Dark Protoss..." He rumbled. "For the simple technique to tell the original from the copy is embraced within the twin crystals.."

A loud bell sounds trembled through the hallways. "Aah.. finally. He took his time." The Dark Archon grimaced. With a blink of his eye... literally, he appeared in the hallway leading to the giant door of the Dark Castle. Another blink of his eye opens the doors. "Thanatos. What took you so long?' Ulrezaj grinned. The humanoid form of the Dark Lich strolled in. "I'm sorry, your lordship... But I bring news." The Dark Archon smirked in glee. Mindcontrol often leads to the best ways of covert operations and infiltration... "Pseudo Havering ventured somewhere far away... and the one called Multex seems to be... well... mindcontrolled himself. I cannot understand fully." Ulrezaj turned around. "Good work, Thanatos. But I am not interested in the agent." Thanatos lowered his head, as the Dark Archon slightly turned around, his eyes focussed on him. "Are you still here? Go back to wherever Havering resides." The Archon rumbled. Thanatos nodded, crossing his arms as his skin melted away from his bones, returning to the form of the Dark Lich.


-------------------------------------------------------------------


"So you nearly destroyed the planet... So why don't you use your Magik to defeat Havering?" Markior grinned as he sat down in his chair, observing the screemns of the base with one eye, then looking at Adrian. "I don't use Magik." He responded. Adrian looked puzzled. "Then what d..?" She got cut off by a loud crash, and a lot of canine noises. Through the hallway, Gelid was being chased by Dev, the Ice dog screaming, the zergling drooling. "Get.. GET THIS.. THING AWAY FROM MEEE!!" The zergling ran after Gelid with a hungry look in it's eyes. Lich frowned. "Dev! Stop that! That's not an icecream!" Dev stopped and whined.

Markior placed two fingers on his forehead. "Right.. anyway, I use two different powers... " He began, Adrian sitting down as well to listen. This vul.. creation was telling things who sounded more like a fairytale then reality, but with true seriousness. "The first power I use is Psionic. Psionic is the stronger, more agressive form of Psychic." adrian nodded. What she knew of psychic, it was an art using the mind. "As my second power... I use the power from which both Psi, Ki, and Magik ascended from. It is called Eternal Grey. The power that Creates and Destroys."

Adrian widened her eyes. "I.. I see.." Markior smiled. "But still.. with this power, I still cannot defeat Havering. Mainly because I don't know where he is, and only his allies combined outrank me in strength, speed and agility... It is that why I hope to bring together everyone on the planet's surface in one final attempt to stop Havering before it's too late." Adrian nodded. Lich looked at one of the screens... 'Markior... Adrian wasn't the one we saw on the screen, nearing us." Markior's eyes bursted out in grey flames. "WHAT?!" He gets up and looks at the screen... "By Adun."
