Well I got annoyed with the code used at Kada\'s Tavern so I decided to write my backstory here.
Chapter 1: The Rise of Heroes
My sister, Tevine had just been assassinated. This was a heavy blow to my family as now it was just my father, Salevou and my twin brother, Quadimous left in the family and we all felt insecure after this event.
Quadimous: \"Thats it! I\'m tired of just sitting here and waiting for our own demise!\"
I ran after Quadimous and asked him where he was going put he simply just pushed me to the side and jumped into his ship and left.
Salevou: \"Well, dont you go going anywhere, Zelish needs you incase something may happen to me\"
Syzerian: \"I am no leader and I cannot decide the fates of millions of people\"
Night came and I thought about what was going on. Quadimous was right, I would get killed if I stayed at home. Somehow I knew that I would cross the same path as my brother.
The next morning I went to the Ion Blast championship to defend my title as champion. For those of you who dont know what Ion Blast is it is pretty much a virtual reality war game based on teams. As I was getting suited up a strange man with long white hair in a grey and white suit approached me. He said his name was Elvonin and wanted to speak with me somewhere private. I was led to his ship and we flew to a strange space station on the dark side of Zelish.
Battle Ship Command: \"Elvonin, we have been expecting you, did you manage to...\"
Elvonin: \"Dont worry, everythings fine I have him\"
Syzerian:\"Whats going on?\"
Elvonin: \"Everything will be revealed when we land kid, you are the last\"
Syzerian: \"Last what?\"
Elvonin: \"Last recruit\"
Syzerian: \"Recruit for what?\"
He ignored me untill we landed on the battle ship. I was amazed at what I saw as we landed, a long double line of people all with white hair and all wearing grey and white armor of varying styles.
Elvonin: \"Theres about 300 down there, not really much of an army\"
Syzerian: \"Your forming an army?\"
Elvonin: \"Yes, a secret army of elites called Talisman. Come on kid, lets get you suited up\"
Elvonin led me into some sort of testing room and asked me to stand on the raised platform. The platform then started going down and bright flashes came from every direction.
Elvonin: \"There is a microphone to the left of you, use it to communicate with me\"
Syzerian: \"What are you doing to me?\"
Elvonin: \"Scanning your body type, size, muscle structure, and bone structure to find out which armor type will fit you best, not feeling any discomforts are you?\"
Syzerian: \"No\"
Elvonin: \"Good, your a sniper correct? and it seems you are quite agile\"
Syzerian: \"That would be correct\"
Elvonin: \"Ah, you are going to want something light and easy to move around in then\"
The platform rose to where it was originally and Elvonin handed me some quite nice looking armor.
Elvonin: \"Here you go, Ive already installed a respawner, shielding system, and holographic generator into it, your ready to go\"
Syzerian: \"Respawner?\"
Elvonin: \"Ah, should have known, youve been sitting on your throne unaware of whats been happening all this time. Its a recent technology developed by Gashmodaan of course that will bring wars from the mech age into the infantry age. What it does? Well it takes samples of your dna and cells and all the other stuff every second and beams that information to a respawning station where as soon as that signal stops being received some crazy stuff happens and you end up being teleported back to your base completely fine even if you have just been hit by a torpedo. But anyway, no time for talking, you are expected in the armory. Follow me\"
We made our way to the armory down an empty hallway and Elvonin introduced me to a very large selection of weapons.
Elvonin: \"Ok, so your a sniper right? Ill show you the sniper weapons.\"
Elvonin held up a gun that looked more like a cannon and I could tell that it was heavy.
Elvonin: \"This is a TVR-82, its the most advanced in the TVR series and fires a charged bolt which is propelled by an electrical current. When it fires it looks like a lightning gun but the bolt it fires can travel up to the speed of light. This gun isnt that lethal unless you hit a lethal spot such as the head or heart.\"
Elvonin put the gun back on the rack when one weapon caught my eye, when I went to pick it up it was amazingly light.
Elvonin: \"Ah, the DRX-46, weak unless you manage to hit someone in the head. It is very hard to aim and fires a distrupter pulse which pierces through most armor but the downside is that when the projectile makes sontact with a solid surface the beam only continues for another couple of centimeters.\"
Syzerian: \"Ill take the DRX-46 then.\"
Elvonin: \"Ok, now with that sorted we need to introduce you to your partner.\"
Syzerian: \"I get a partner?\"
Elvonin: \"Yes, you were the last recruit and we arrived late so everyone else already has their partner.\"
Elvonin led me to some sort of bar and introduced me to Runite.
Elvonin: \"Syzerian, this is Runite Maranza, Runite, this is Syzerian Aralos. Ill let you two get to know each other.\"
We talked about our lives for hours. Runite was a famous criminal who had stolen alot of valuable items without being caught once and was always on the run. He had recently agreed with police across the universe that he would stop his criminal activities and stop being hunted down by police as long as he joined a secret army called Talisman. He was bigger than me than me and his hair was spiky and slicked back, he was an expert star fighter pilot and used heavy weapons aswell as very bulky armor that he managed to move around in just fine.
Chapter 2: Shrouded in the Dark
Elvonin: \"Heres your unique GIU, sorry it took so long but we... had some problems. Now if you dont mind I have other matters to attend to.\"
I watched Elvonin run down the hallway with great ergency and take the elevator to the main control room. I couldnt help but be a little suspicious.
I went to go and find Runite to ask him about this new GIU I had been given, and as usuall he was easily found in the Holographic-Training room.
Syzerian: \"Runite, Ive been given this GIU you wouldnt be able to help me out with it would you?\"
Runite: \"Yeah, I guess.... what do you want to know?\"
Syzerian: \"Just the basics I guess, I should be able to figure out everything else by myself.\"
BattleShip Command: Over the intercom \"We have identified a weakness in the enemy and we are going to have to commence a space jump to get to the location. Everyone make sure you are properly equiped as this battle is going to be in space.\"
Runite: \"Nice timing huh? anyway I had better get started since we will be at our destination in a few minutes. Now, by looking at your GIU you will have had the thought that its a kind of half-viser, well, you would be right. It should fit firmly around your left ear and the screen should block out vision on your left eye completely. Now inside the GIU should be a card which can be slotted in to almost any weapon and space craft giving you a User Interface which is things like a crosshair and such for whatever your plugged into. And thats it really.\"
BattleShip Command: Over the intercom \"We are a few minutes away from the battle, everyone make their way to the hangar and enter your ships.\"
We ran down the hallways and arrived at hangar 4. We jumped into an inteceptor which was a small fighter ship with front and back guns, I was in the rear.
Runite: \"Ok, insert your GIU card into the small computer and get ready!\"
BattleShip Command: Over the intercom \"All inteceptors attack the fighters, bombers go for the battleships. Combat is iminant!\"
Everyone took off in a random and uncontrolled pattern. We were up against 2 battleships and we were out numbered but we had the advantage of skill. The battleships launched mobile defence turrets, but those were easily destroyed by the bombers and we were quickly mopping up the fighters. The massive guns on the battleships were slowly picking us off but eventually we managed to take them down.
Happiness and excitement flooded the comm channels but that was only momentary as soon our demise would arrive.
Another battleship arrived through the darkness and this one had thousands of fighters escourting it. Our previous enemies must have called for help. We quickly went into battle but we were being picked off like flies and were forced to retreat to a nearby planet, our battleship wouldnt make it though. Elvonin had no choice but to attack the other battleship head on against overwhelming odds, as we sped off into the distance he launched 4 vortex emitters which are used to create gravity vortexes used for space travel. He had just enough time to activate them before the ship was blowen to dust and the vortex began to emurge around the enemies battleship which collapsed under the strain of the emense gravitational pull.
We were able to safely land on the planet and luckily it was inhabitable.
Runite: \"Looks like this is the end of the journey\"
Syzerian: \"Yeah, it would take us years to get back to Zelish without a battleship and its not like there are going to be ships flying around these areas.\"
Runite: \"Well I did manage to call some of my mates before we landed but I got no reply since this atmosphere seems to block out certain frequencies.\"
Group of Soldiers: \"Well, we had better get moving. A few men spotted smoke in the east so we will travel that way first and maybe we will find a settlement there.\"
We made our way through dense forests untill we found ourselves at the edge of a cliff.
Soldier1: \"Well there is our settlement. But how the hell are we going to get down?\"
Soldier2: \"We climb down you idiot! what else is there to do?\"
A massive arguement formed between the men and everyone split up into groups. Me, Runite and a few others decided to follow the cliffs edge untill we could find somewhere safer to get down. We traveled for hours and ended up ditching all our equipment to ease the trip, and eventually after about 5 hours we managed to find a small steep slope. It was alot safer than a 100 metre high cliff with no climbing equipment. We quickly decended the slope hugging trees to stay at a safe and managable speed, and after reaching the bottom we moved at great speeds towards the settlement.
We were approaching the settlement and heard voices and movement in the bushes behind us. We had no idea what to do, would they attack us? Would they approach us peacefully? We had ditched all our equpment and we were defenseless against any type of attack.
