The Ultimate Organization III

OOC: Hey look, everyone's online!

EDIT: Well, Nulix WAS online right before I posted...

 

OOC: And then I left, like I always do... oh, we are NUMBAH ONEZ!111! if you type Ultimate Organization in google. Yes! YES!

BIC: Skinnar glanced up, "Any other questions?"

 

OOC: crap guys i'm sorry i've ben absent! i'll read up what i've missed and jump back in later tonight hopefully

 

OOC: Time for some bad news; The game...All of its files may have been deleted. All of them....The good news? I may be able to make an entirely new one with an updated system!

 

OOC: Pirate my man, you need to back stuff up. First the original UO thread now this? Ah well, if you can make an entirely new one... hmm, actually, pm me about that. Cause I think I could help you out...

 

OOC: What did the first thread going down have to do with me? And P.M you? Alright...

 

OOC: Sorry I've been gone; I've been busy with homework and studying; it's the AP Testing week, so a lot of teachers are pushing deadlines up. (They don't want to be there any more than the students do...)

It's a sorry mess...

 

OOC: You had a lot the script and then it got deleted, remember? And yeah, we should get back to Rpin'...

 

OOC: YES! Homework over with!

BIC: Xardius rubbed his temples. "You guys keep working," he said unnecessarily, walking outside.

Seeing Skinnar and Vecked and Xane all doing interrogation things, Xardius frowned.

"Great, he's still around," Xardius grumbled. Hearing the last bit, Xardius walked up. "Skinnar, why don't you just pull the plug on them? Honestly, you fire them through some legitimate reason, have witnesses and the whole shibang, and anything they throw at you, you can shove off as disgruntled workers trying to backstab you."

 

"Its harder than you think," Skinnar said. "What I've done is highly illegal. I have too much to loose."

"Being controlled by some thirty-nine year old Captain and a guy named Crapo? Thats any better than taking the risk of loosing some things?" Vecked asked.

Skinnar sighed, "Back in the day, a few years before the U.O., a man named Novak, the same man who created the Rogue Knight Extermination plan, was gaining too much power. He was Supreme General of the U.P.A., thats the head of the U.P.A. land force. So the Hairis of the time, Hairis Richards, ordered the Supreme Captain to lead a team of three other special space agents. I was one of those agents. Novak was flying with his family on a ship that carried close to three-million sora citizens. While it was making the jump through deep space we attacked. The ship blew apart. Novak's family, along with everyone else on the ship, died."

Vecked paused, "But you are the Hairis."

"I fear my life may end as Novak's did. Just replace the Hairis with the Gran Aigo of the Sora System..."

"The Gran Aigo is a publicly elected official, he is the head of government," Vecked said, "If you fire Cotaxus and he goes to the Aigo, do you really think he would have you killed? With such a lack of evidence?"

"The Sora System is facing extinction," Skinnar said. "If the Gran Aigo fears I may have ulterior motives for my actions he will get rid of me. If he has enough evidence, he will arrest me. If he doesn't, I'll go the Novak route."

"And? Your a soldier, aren't you?" Vecked asked.

Skinnar shook his head slowly, "I have a daughter now. I don't want her life to end because I made a stupid mistake like this..."

 

Xardius thought. He thought hard. "I don't suppose you know the Gran Aigo personally, else you wouldn't have to worry about him arresting or killing you..."

He sighed. "OK, I think I know a way you can get out of this with your head and your family's intact. It will require a bit of personal risk on your part, but..."

He leaned forward, shifting on his feet. "We're going to crack the Brotherhood like an empty shell, Skinnar. There's plenty of proof that the Brotherhood doesn't have the Sora System's best intentions in mind. If I can get you evidence that the Brotherhood is planning to strike against the Sora System, will you go with us to take them out?"

"I only ask this because if you do, and it looks like the Sora System is in trouble, you'll end up a hero; you'll have saved the Sora System, and in that hero washout, you can get rid of your blackmailers." Xardius folded his arms. "What do you think? You might need to revise my idea a little. I'm not really a political genius..."

 

"Unfortunately, Xardius. The Brotherhood is our ally. To remove them from the U.O. would take a vote from the leaders of the other military systems and the leaders of the other systems themselves. Or I could lead a rogue attack thus getting us attacked by the full force of the U.O., destroying our military completely."

Skinnar sighed, "The UO is the only bad guy right now. I can't change that... I'm not sure if I would want to, either..."

 

Xardius sat down on the ground. "OK, well I kind of figured it wouldn't be that easy. Luckily enough, your contract with the Brotherhood is just that...with 'the Brotherhood.' That means individuals like Scourge or Wirdikov aren't necessarily allied with the U.O. Scourge isn't the Brotherhood, and neither are any of the other members."

"It's a loophole you can exploit nicely. Prove that Scourge or other members aren't acting in the interest of the U.O., and the plan still works." Xardius folded his arms. "That's my plan. The best thing is, the Ultimate Organization aren't the heroes this time. You are, Skinnar. You don't even have to mention us. We stay bad guys."

He grinned. "But hey, if you have another plan, go ahead and throw it out. I'm sure you can come up with something better."

 

"You apparently went to the Lexx school of business," Skinnar replied. "Yes, public opinion does matter, but the opinion of the rest of the U.O. does. If they decide us going against the Brotherhood is more an act of treachery I will be killed for pure stupidity."

 

"The only thing I can think of other than that," Xardius said after a moment. "Would be to use us as the bad guys. We already are..."

He smiled slowly. "I don't mind being the victim for once...Skinnar, if you take the Ultimate Organization out, what will that do for your situation?"

 

Vecked slowly stepped between the two. "Xardius. Stop it, alright? We will not put any effort into helping this man, because chances are, he won't help us back. We have a valuable hostage now, we should leave with him. Fast."

 

Xardius looked up at Vecked. "Then don't. I don't really care what you do, Vecked. If you don't want to help him, that's fine with me."

He stood up and walked around Vecked, and leaned towards Skinnar. "My offer stands, Skinnar. I don't like you, and I know you don't like me, but..." He shook his head. "I owe you. So...I'm going to be destroying the Brotherhood. They're the U.O.'s ally. You capture me, you're the hero."

He straightened. "I'm going to go check on the techies."

Xardius stalked off, hands in pockets.

OOC: It makes me really wonder what Xardius is up to; I only just thought of this, so I haven't gotten around to thinking about his motive yet...XD

FYI, I have the Prologue and Chapter One written in the UO. I'm in the process of editing them right now, and I'm starting Chapter Two.

Prologue: Fragment
Darius meets this old farmer named Dan, saves him from a Shadow (Heartless) and heads to Dark City; some time in the future, Dan meets Darius again, this time sick and feverish from a gut wound, and has a friend treat him. The doctor realizes Darius isn't human (you know, he's a Nobody or Lost One), and asks for the story. So Darius begins his monologue... Pretty much completely edited, just need to touch up and it'll be perfect (in a manner of speaking).

Chapter 1: Home
Focuses on Darxess, who has brought the group of Lost Ones (Nobodies) to Dark City and the castle there, which is his old home. Wing is there, but leaves to gather supplies. I give a VERY detailed explanation of Shadows and Lost Ones here, and the Knights as well. But it's not edited yet.

Chapter 2: Framework
This will be the main meeting that began the Ultimate Organization, but it will have a different twist on it. The members will begin training to fight the Knights. Large introduction of the beginning members, who will have more of a role, I'm hoping.

I haven't thought of a name for Chapter 3 yet, but I will soon. It will be about the first battle with the Knights.

So yeah, that's that. If you want to read what I've got so far, PM me and I'll send it to you.

 

OOC: I admit, I've always been here. I was just enjoying Xardius and Skinnar's arument.

BIC: "I hate to say it, but...Vecked might have a point. We can't really trust Skinnar," Xane said. "But, I do think we should help him out with his current promblem within the U.P.A."

 

OOC: I'll, uh, pm you about the fanfic stuff...

BIC: Vecked glanced at Xane, before glancing at Xardius. "Also, the U.P.A. may actually want the Brotherhood destroyed. If we attack, the U.P.A. might not help, later claiming it was some technical mishap. They want the Brotherhood out of the way, and Skinnar has conveniently left that out. Just because Skinnar is being blackmailed doesn't mean he doesn't have his own agenda, Xardius. An agenda that most likely hurst us."

 

"Whatever, I've decided," Xardius said, waving a hand. "I don't care about it anymore..."

OOC: Right, Nulix! I am prepared (probably)!
