The Raxis Expeditions #1: The Plight of Daley Jones

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer was traveling through the galaxy going about ordering his pilot slave to head towards Zonoma Zekot for [member="Animus Malgus"] had called him to meet him there. While Nomkneer pet his female Tuka'ta he receives a transmission from Animus saying that Nomkneer could have one wish if we finished the mission, Nomkneer was thinking of one thing he ever wanted. Nomkneer of course intrigued in a free wish asked him "And what is the mission we have to do?" Animus told Nomkneer about the Daley orb and that in it was the spirit of daley trapped inside and that whichever group could find it first, would each win a wish. Animus sent the rest of the information to Nomkneers ship, Nomkneer kept petting his Tuka'ta as he kept reading the information sent by [member="Animus Malgus"]. Nomkneer asked Animus "is there anyone else coming to assist us in this quest then?" Animus informed Nomkneer that a sith aprentice would be joining them in the search of the daley orb and that his name was [member="Naga Itesak"]. As Nomkneer got close to Zonoma Zekot he noticed the temple and landed near Animus telling his slave pilot "Take care of my Tuka'ta, if he is not well when i come back i will have your head".

 

[Omi Rin]

"Well s***!" I cursed under my breath as [member="Animus Malgus"] entered the temple. I sprinted and dove behind a statue at the far wall of the temple, next to a door that most likely led deeper in. My team would catch up, but right now, I didn't feel like messing with both Sith and Jedi today. So I sat patiently waiting for them to pass.

 

[Mythos]

As Animus gazed into the Temple halls... he felt the force tangle within him, like a pull to the Lightside... he felt... Harmony, peace, Knowledge and relinquished all emotions... it was strange, when [member="Darth Ophidia"] had trained him, he could easy change his Essence to a lightsider, it was because Animus had compassion, he had a knowledge of Peace and Harmony.... Animus was easily enticed by the light, but he shook it off focusing on the task at hand.

"[member="Nomkneer artzhul"], Take left flank and get up to the high places of the Temple and begin making your way to the Orb, [member="Naga Itesak"] you flank me and watch my six, we are going to try and make our way through this Horde undetected... Assassins move out"

Animus quickly fell into motion, sinking into the shadows and ignoring the nagging presence of the light within him that pulled him... he would find that if he stayed here too long... there might be permanent consequences...

The gurlanin merely nodded and he too went to the shadows feeling the tug of the lightside as he did it aggravated him but he kept his temper in check as he kept watch of there flank ready in-case of attack while he kept all of his senses sharp for any sign of danger While fighting the pull of the lightside these emotions he felt ...Peace..harmony..compassion....He deemed these useless emotions long ago and he wanted nothing to do with them ever again.. he turned to his primal emotions...Pain...hate...fury...malice.. all the emotions of the sith that he was introduced and molded it into his psyche. He drew on them to keep him self in the grip of the dark side and away from the light sides embrace

 

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer after hearing [member="Animus Malgus"] orders he jumped into motion and begined executing the command. The temple had some rigged rocks and strange designs in which Nomkneer could escalate the temple. Nomkneer escalated upwards until he saw an entrance in the left side. An entrance small enough not to notice from far away but if you got close enough as Nomkneer did you could see it. Nomkneer went through this small opening and kept crawling into the temple he used his communications to tell Animus " Animus i escalated the temple and have found a small opening around 4.5 feet wide, i am crawling inside and im getting a disturbance in the force, will report anything that comes up". As Nomkneer went through he ended up at a room hidden at the very top of the temple. Suddenly the entrance fell apart and rocks covered the entire entrance, Nomkneer kept walking as the room went down into some chambers. After much walk and passing through some rooms he found a den of snakes and behind a door leading somewhere. Nomkneel gripped his 2 lightsabers and started making a massacre out of the snakes. At the very moment Nomkneer killed the last snake he reported to Animus "Animus the entrance i took has collapsed i have walked some steps and i've ended up in a den of snakes guarding a door, all is well and i am continuing scouting ahead" As he opened the door and looked inside.

 

[Mythos]

Animus stood behind a pillar, while a Terentatek stormed through the place, the beast detected their presence but could not locate them because of the massive flux of the force in the place. Placing a hand on his communicator in his ear he nodded as [member="Nomkneer artzhul"] reported his location and the mission he was in. Animus was beginning to grow quite attached to the Kaleesh, he had shown that he was capable of handling himself with his own natural capabilities time and time again. "Head as far back to the anomaly as you can, and meet us at the back of the temple. "

Animus looked at [member="Naga Itesak"], this one had yet to prove himself to Animus but here was his chance to make pride proud. "You" Animus said pointing at the Acolyte, his eyes narrowing in scorn, the lightside tugged at him, but not hard enough. "Take point over there" Animus pointed at shadows to the right. "I will scout up ahead" Animus eyed the acolyte before adding. "Don't get noticed, and don't get killed... the weak are left behind... i trust you know this"

Animus gestured with his palm for the Acolyte to move, when he did Animus would Flank his left and begin his scout.

 

[Rapax]

Naga did as he was instructed he noted the look of scorn he was given, But he payed it no mind he recieved worse back in his day and he wasnt about to let his temper get the best of him for this. He bolted quickly and quietly to the shadows on the right slowly trying to make his way forward towards the temples center. Useing his teachings and what he learned to keep the lightsides pull away from him. He even took a form that could move quicker and more quietly then a normal humanoid form. That was the beauty of being a shapeshifter you cna become pretty much any living thing your mind could conjur and he made sure to make full use of this gift.

[Nomkneer]

Nomkneer as he entered the door found it strange that he was feeling a liking for the sense of peace and harmony. Nomkneer also sensed that his insanity was fading little by little and that his darkness was turning into nothingness. He found it strange why such fenomenon was occuring but he kept focusing on the mission at hand. Nomkneer saw that the door he entered led to the outside of the temple right on the roof. Nomkneer gazed upon the whole entire land while standing aproximately 300 feet from the ground. Nomkneer sensed the disturbance in the force but he did not know what it was. As he tied a knot with a rope at the tip of the temple, he started rapelling down the temple in order to search from the back, as everybody had entered from the front maybe he had more chance of finding it through there. As he was going down Nomkneel rapelling, a rock fell, a rock that Nomkneel was standing on as rapelling down to the back of the temple. At the bottom the rock hit the body of a Terentatek and it looked up to see what was going on, after looking up he saw a kaleesh going down and waited for his prey. Nomkneer after loosing balance because of the rock, he quickly got it back by jumping and dropping a couple of feet more below and as he kept going lower the force was getting more disturbance. Suddenly when Nomkneer was about 20 feet from the ground, the Terentatek came out and by a couple of inches he almost teared Nomkneers foot off. Nomkneer seeing this he climbed 5 more feet by running upwards on the wall and did a backflip and landed on the beasts back and gripped to his horns as the beast broke into the temple from the back and laid rampage upon the temple.

[Rapax]

Naga noticed the rampageing terentatek and took a form that could scale walls with quietness and ease yet avoid the Terentatek that was rampaging around the temple he knew all to well not to entangle with such a creature although the urge to kill and steal its hide was tempting But the reward of why he was here was more tantalizing and he continued on to the center of the temple.

[Icthy Zand]

Icthy had been about to walk into the temple, when he felt Sith approach and enter. He gasped inaudibly as his gills fluttered to allow water into his mouth. He had a bad feeling he'd need it.​

​

"Made decision. Jedi better option. Armored woman has more power. Five versus three better odds than three, three, and two."​

[Hamter Melson]

Hamter had watched as the sith had rushed inside. He gestured to his two teammates, "If we don't want to be left behind, I would suggest we follow. Otherwise, they will get there first." So, Hamter lead the way as he followed where the two sith had gone. He knew that the one scaling the walls was looking for another way inside, but splitting up was a bad idea. So, they followed where they had watched the sith go down.

As their group approached the first chamber, they saw a weird sight, it seemed the one sith that had climbed had somehow ended up on the back of a Terentatek and the beast was raging and trying to fling the Sith off its back. Well, this would be a good distraction, their group could either try to kill the beast and get an extra reward, or they could just walk around. He turned to his two teammates "So, should we give the Sith a hand and try to kill that beast? Would make quite a trophy, and who knows what we could get for it. So, what do you guys say?"

Team: Himself, [member="Icthy Zand"], [member="Omi Rin"]

 

[Matthew Rei]

Team: ROFLcopter (I'm the only one, anyone can join on with me or I can join on with them. I'm indifferent. I just want our team name to be ROFLcopter. Just put "Team: ROFLcopter" visibly in each of your posts. Even if we don't meet IC just yet, put it up there if you're interested in having me as a team member and so that we can show team spirit! YAY ROFLcopter!)

Matthew was having a hard time sleeping and it was starting to get to him. At first, it was a whisper in the back of his mind about...twice a week. Now, he could hear...something in each of his dreams. Whatever it was, it felt like it was...calling him. Have you ever tried to willingly get up and do something during deep sleep? It doesn't help your body to relax or rest.

This unrest was going to obstruct his ability to operate, both at his day job...and at night. The most logical way to solve this problem...was to head the call. He had just come off of a recent case involving a customer committing murder in a bowling alley. Crime on that planet had been slow, as well. This seemed like the perfect time to lift up his roots, somewhat, and do something completely different.

Matthew had started snooping around to try and find out more about this mystery location that called to him. He didn't feel the need to be careful, so when he came to the point where he learned the location, he was mysteriously contacted and asked to do a job by one Emma Rose. One might have thought the name to be a pen name, but one also never knew in a galaxy so big.


(The scene waves to the right and we find Matthew Mar'Tin at a local port renting a shuttle)


The use of the shuttle was going to be tricky for Mar'Tin. Someone else was driving him out here and that meant someone else would be somewhat wise to something happening out here. But, being blind, there wasn't much Matthew could do except tag along. The pilot landed in the temple's clearing not too far away. The pilot said the temple was massive and informed me that when I wanted a ride back, I needed to press the retrieval command button on the assigned comm device and wait 20 minutes. 30, maybe, because of the area.

It seemed like I wasn't the only one. The smell of recently fired speeders and the many sources of alien and human presence were thick in this non-breezy clearing. Matthew was wearing his parkour clothing: Green, black, and white running shoes with extra grip, black sweat pants with a red line down the outer length of the pant legs, and a black t-shirt with blue lines that read "I've got 99 problems" on the front and "But a Sith ain't one!" on the back.

He had his walking stick in his right hand and a small backpack of emergency supplies on his back. He shouted "Hello!" in each direction until he found the direction in which his voice reverberated back at himself. That was where the temple was. He walked straight towards it. Unbeknownst to him, the Force was strong here and it really helped him to visualize and depict the temple and it's features as he got closer.

Of course, he was still blind and the best way he could describe seeing things with his mind's eye is "seeing a world on fire". It was a wishy washy, blurry, red and orange version of night vision, but it still served him better than normal eye sight most of the time. In this case, his senses were getting better. He was feeling stronger. He felt as though, if he could sense this well back on the streets, he'd be able to wreck every single thug that stood in his way and wipe the concrete with their quickly degrading face---!...Woah. Where had that come from?

He finally got to the front of the temple and walked up the steps. Upon reaching the top and facing the entryway, he could hear a plethora of noises coming from inside. He took a deep breath and stepped inside. No sooner had he done that but he heard a stampede of...bones?! Rattling armor, bones, and moans!?! He panicked and leaned against the wall. Lo and behold...it was a trap.

He felt the wall give way and he fell down, down, down. He first put his arms up to protect his head, but his descent turned more into an uncontrolled roll and then a slide. He sat up and could hear nothing but an ominous "Clang chunk Clang SLAM Clang chunk Clang SLAM" sequence of stone hitting stone over and over again. He started to panic. He hadn't felt this scared since he was a kid.

​

Like so many fools before them these fresh meat had charged into the slaughter. Daley Jones laughed from within his prison. As the harsh wretched sound escaped him, the orb flared with a bright intensity. ripples in the force would be felt as he concentrated his might, adding to the force flux in the temple. He could feel the trepidation, the uncertainty. It gave him great joy to tamper with the alignments of the wayfarers.​

​

Visions of there greatest fears began to flow outwards from the sphere. The dreams they had felt had been put there for just this purpose. So he could toy with them, plumb the secrets of their minds. In addition they were making it too quickly through his maze. This would have to stop. Raising both ghostly hands he uttered an ancient magical spell.​

​

The doors and windows to the room her was in slammed shut,a mystical energy flowing into the stones and making them grow into a solid barrier. No blade nor blaster would pierce this wall. instead they would have to find four orbs, each in a corner of the temple and destroy them. Only then would the magic barrier began to dissipate.​

​

In the meantime, it was time for them to meet his favourite guardians of the temple.​

​

The beasts of Belia Darzu​

​

Rise, monstrosities of Darzu. Seek out and destroy the travellers!​

​

The telepathic message washed through the ancient temple. Moans could be heard in the deep, a half mechanical half monstrous screeching.​

​

From the catacombs below half beats began to flow upwards seeking towards the adventurers. at each orb an Alpha beast, half cogs and moving bronze parts, half flesh. Hounds with mechanical mandibles and joints, but organic teeth and flesh began to howl, racing in packs through the corridors.​

​

Now the hunt was on...​

Location: First main room with the Terentatek

All of a sudden, the noises in the temple started to get louder, and then something happened within his mind. He started seeing things, terrible things. He saw himself, being mocked, being told he had no skill, being told he should have just stayed on his home planet and never have left. Hamter tried shaking these thoughts away. While he managed to get a grip on himself, the thoughts still remained, and his focus was now not as concentrated as it usually was.

As he finally managed to start seeing clearly again, he looked around and saw that the Terentatek was still raging. Apparently it was now slamming against walls, trying to get the annoying creature off its back. Well, with whatever just happened, he doubted that the Sith would be staying on for much longer. But that wasn't the least of his worries, he started to hear loud barking sounds, reverbrating throughout the entire chamber. Seemed their was a new danger prowling these halls. No matter, Hamter would stay strong and get complete the mission.

He turned to [member="Icthy Zand"], and said "Something just happened. Can you sense anything with the force and tell us if anything happened?"

"Sounds good to me Master." Spencer replied as the pair of them began walking into the temple. As sudden surge of the darkside came over Spencer, creating images in his head. It was sudden but moved on quickly, but he could still feel the presence of the darkside around him. As they moved into the first main room he heard a banging and rocks hitting the ground. A sith had began fighting a Terentatek, the large creature was in a full rage with the sith hanging on for dear life. Spencer turned to Master Ike, "Should we help him? I mean he is a Sith after all..." He asked his Master, he wasn't sure as it was a race after all. He knew the sith were strong and were sure to make it out alive. But could Spencer sit and watch the poor fellow be thrown around by the massive creature? Maybe he could, the darkside after all was influencing his mind, his thoughts, but he waited for Master Ike to respond before taking any action.

I ran as fast as I could towards one of the orbs, hoping it could change the tide of the battle in the main room. As much as I wanted to be the one killing that Terentatek, getting to Daley Jones was more important. I swung around a corner and turned to face the technobeast. I used my dew claws to spread the things metal mandibles and knee's it in the throat. I began stabbing through its sides with my claws and then kept running should save me time. I could see a door, the door. And a dangerous looking cyborg beast.o

Naga knew his luck would turn on him sooner or later despite his shape shifting abilities the hound still kept its chase naga stopped and waited until it got close then quickly leaped over it activating one end of his saber and started slicing the hound into pieces until it could move no more. How ever images started flooding into his mind spending centurys in that mind prison being tormented by his own insanity none stop never seeing an end to it. Naga quickly discarded the images he was seeing he needed to focus to get to the Daley orb and he wasn't going to let his own fears stop him. He made his way light saber still in hand to a door that was guarded by a deadly looking Technobest.

Matsu walked with the padawan and she ad a look on her face seeing him. There was something strange and she remained in the armor watching as she saw the sithspawn and the sith. Her head turning to look at the padawan more before speaking. "We should help but such creatures are very dangerous. Be careful and watch around." She was moving, the helmet of the armor closing while she let the flight and thruster systems activate and started targeting the creature. Micro missiles locking on before she was moving back and firing the force light gun with its force shots that damaged sithspawn

 

[Omi Rin]

I gazed into the swordsman's eyes, a terrific horror of the dark side. The doors to the orb's room began to close. I turned around and ran back, I had to help the others. I ran through the twisting temple halls and Stopped abruptly in front of a familiar man. He was young and tired looking he wore nothing but a pair of ripped up pants. He began to collapse in my arms, And then I realized. This was my best friend, Malcolm. Malcolm had died 6 months ago. I had watched an unhappy employer drive a knife through his stomach. Malcolm clutched his torso, and then his body began to melt away into blood at my feet. I trudged slowly through the pile of goop the was my best friend and collapsed at the door to the main room. I saw my team, my new friends, I needed to find resolve to keep fighting. I fell on my face and crawled back in to the room. I was beat, the dark side was getting me. I needed strength now more than ever.

 

[Matthew Rei]

Team: ROFLcopter ([member="Spencer Olin"], [member="Matsu Ike"])
Location: Lower Levels of the Temple Of Doom
Objective: Gather the Seven Dragon Balls Survive

Matthew knelt upon the ground, a cold sweat upon his brow. His fear had gotten worse. Whatever this place was, whatever was going on, was wrong. It was evil and twisted and it was making him paranoid. He laid a hand upon the wall to steady himself, but he slid down to sit on the ground. Not only was the slamming, never-ending cadence taking place, but now he could hear voices.

The sneers, chiding, and insults of all of the bullies from his past coalesced into a roar of disapproval. This place magnified Matthew's connection to the Force, unbeknownst to him. But, it was also attacking him through the Force. Not in a direct way, but in a mischievous and chaotic way. Whatever...entity was behind this phenomenon, it lacked the control or power to deal with Matt directly.

"STOP IIIIT!!! SHUT UP, ALL OF YOOOOU!!!" Spit flung out of his mouth as he berated the phantoms of the past. He then gasped for air and tried to breath normally. This was all CLEARLY a trick to mess him up. For why or for what reason, he didn't know. They wouldn't leave him alone, so he hugged his knees to his chest and then covered his ears like he did when he was a child.

Nearby, a pack of techno hounds had clearly heard his lamenting and were closing in on his position. The sound of howling was lost amidst the sea of hatred rushing through his mind. Daley Jones, sensing that Matt was blind, was clearly pouring all of his terror attack at Matt's hearing. Then, all of the voices ceased when one male voice said, "Matty..."

Matt's head lifted, reprieve hitting his ears and the sound of...his dad's voice.

"Dad...Dad!" cried out Matt.

"I'm here, Matt..."

"Dad, how...I have SO much to ask you!" His dad's voice let off a sigh of small frustration, but largely of sadness.

"Matt, Matty! Listen, okay?...I'm not here. It's...it's this place, Matty. I don't have much time, so just listen up. All of those voices you're hearing, even me? It's some guy trapped in a bubble what's messin' with ya'. Well, it's more like a spirit...but anyway....*Sigh* Listen, kid. The long and short of it is that you're trapped. You've got bad guys comin' your way and there's a bad man in the middle of all of this that you need to stop. So, put on your gloves and show 'em Mar'Tin Might!"

During his father's speech, Matthew felt like his Dad had just turned on Auto Pilot and was giving him exposition. Frell, it probably wasn't even his father, but some sick, bad interpretation of his father. Why was Matthew getting bad and good? Why was his experience here bittersweet? It was because, despite thinking himself to be a guardian or the guy doing the right thing, he had a very strong source of pragmatism. He was a good guy doing bad things so that other's didn't have to...at least, that's how he justified it.

Just when he thought this audio apparition was going to leave, his father's voice started to break with sadness.

"I...I'm so sorry, Matt!...I didn't mean for all of this to turn out like this. I...I love you SO much, son...*Sniff* Now, put the gloves on, son! It's time to kick some ass!"

...What the frell was that? Was Matt being messed with again??...Was that his real father? With a shocked expression, he slowly took his backback off and rummaged through it. Not too far away, techno hounds had found out Matt's location. They started to paw the ground and bark rabidly at Matt from beyond the slamming stone pylon hallway. They so desired to run at him and tear him to shreds, but they were each hesitant.

Sensing these twisted abominations waiting for him, he finally grabbed a pair of shock gloves that he had brought along. He turned them to a lethal output and wiped the tears from his face before slipping and turning them on. His hands crackled with energy and he assumed a pose before yelling out a highly antagonistic war cry against the dogs.

Matt had never felt more powerful.

The dogs couldn't contain themselves. They all 7 rushed Matt. Clang: the stone retracted and Matt shuffled forward past the point of impact. One dog instantly died to a pylon that came straight down. Chunk: Matt quickly turned his body sideways as two pylons came down to squash his arms. Two of the dogs that were closer to Matt stopped and tried to wait in their safe position for the man coming to them. Clang: the pylon slammed in front of him and started to retract. As that happened, one of the two closest jumped at him. He side stepped and punched his side while he passed by. A pylon belted the dog in the face and then the hallway started to play ragdoll with the dog.

SLAM: a closet sized area of the hallway slammed shut, large, thick pylons from the ceiling and floor crushing two more dogs. Matthew rolled under the previous pylons that had gone Clang and found a dog waiting for him there. While he was on the ground, the dog pounced forth. He got his feet in a kneeling position and brought both fists up together as he sprung up. His double fist uppercut hit the dog's metal and sparks flew as the dog was knocked into next week...and a pylon.

Clang Chunk Clang SLAM: Matthew was in his groove now, the Force coursing through him. He was neither good nor evil; just trying to survive in this moment. He flipped over pylons bringing his fist down upon the forehead of a dog. He kicked off a wall and spun horizontally, barely missing two more pylons. The dogs that had charged him now had to turn around and change momentum. That point of not moving was their last, though. They were too slow to miss the pylons. Finally, one last dog stood behind the last massive pylon trap. As soon as it slammed together and started to pull back, this time from wall to wall, the dog and human charged each other.

The dog pounced upwards at him and he reciprocated by bringing up a flying knee kick to it's jaw. Whatever was in the temple was slightly increasing his strength, speed, durability, and reflexes. His knee put the dog on it's butt so that Matthew could come down and punch him in the throat. The dog's wind pipe was crushed and Matthew stood up, breathing heavily.

He stood there, listening to the stone pylons and contemplating what had just happened.
