Galactic Prince - Mr. Dark
(In a darkened room, GC Fantasy Meister and MoW Grix talk over a holo-link to the Emporor of the Galactic Senate)
“We will not agree to this treaty” cried minister Fantasy Meister. “It is absurd, it will stop our ability to produce arms, even on a defensive scale, and with the mining restrictions, we will be barely able to support our own people!”
“That is something we cannot take into account. You and your planet have taken the lives of millions of innocent people. You have crippled planets, leaving them in the same situation that you are in know. Your pointless ‘roiding’ missions bring suffering to the inhabitants of other planets, they are no longer able to mine, or produce arms. The galactic Senate passes these restrictions with a heavy heart, but they are necessary following your behaviour. Sheepy out.”
“Those damn Galactic Commanders, they think that they and their stupid alliances are in control of our lives!” (Angrily)
“I agree with you Mr Grix, but they do have NAP’s with most of the planets in the 8th quadrant”
“Yes, but as minister of War, I must tell you the consequences of these restrictions. Without the means to build a military fleet, for defensive or offensive use, we are vulnerable to attack and ‘roiding from other planets. The Galactic Senate has made no attempt to protect us before, and will probably relish in the death of our people and obliteration of our planet”
“I know exactly how you feel, I agree with all of your views, but without allies, NAP’s or a fleet of our own, we will be unable to even try to oppose the Senate. My suggestion is that we lay low for a while. Without aggression on our part, the senate will gradually increase our asteroid allowance. We could channel some of this income to a secret underground military command centre, where we will build up a fleet to overpower the Galactic Senate. I will assign Minister of Communications, Ant to begin peace talks with possible allies, and I will assign Minister of donations, Meka to channelling the crystal and metal needed to begin the preparations. You are dismissed Mr Grix.”
“Yes sir!”
(The story progresses to see Admiral Darkness talking to Lieutenant PB in a brightly lit hangar. There are lots of ships and people in the background)
“So Darkness, have you heard about the rebellion we are preparing for?”
“Yes I have Lieutenant PB. You and Commander Er-No will begin preparing the troops. I want them at an emergency meeting at 18:00 hours. We will begin training exercises for the new ships tomorrow”
“Yes sir!”
(The story moves to a large table, with all the ministers sitting around it, with GC Fantasy Meister at one end pointing to a large projection screen)
“I have called this meeting of the Supreme Ministers of Specialus Reservus for one reason. I am sure you are all aware of the situation we are currently facing from the Galactic Senate? Good. As you will know, we will not be able to expand under these restrictions. Work has begun into a secret underground construction centre, where we will begin preparing a fleet to strike back at the Senate” Our MoC, Ant, has some news regarding some intercepted plans. Minister?”
“Fellow ministers, I would like to tell you about some military blueprints I intercepted earlier. They seem to be plans for a new star cruiser, with at least twice the firepower of our current warships. Our scientists are working on ways to configure these plans into a ship build-able from the resources that we have available to us. We hope to have it up and running within 2 weeks.”
“Minister Grix, do you wish to add anything?”
“Yes, sir. The new battleship will have unfamiliar weapons and defence systems. Supreme Admiral Darkness, I wish you to begin training in these new systems immediately. They will be an extremely useful asset to our rebellion, as I have news that even the Galactic Senate are in the testing stages of the ship. I will file a full report tomorrow Sir.”
“Thank you. Do you think your pilots will be ready to use these systems in time Admiral?”
“I have already split my elite corps into training regiments, each of these will be fully briefed, and begin training any newer recruits ASAP. We hope to have a fully mobilised fleet of 50,000 units within 1 and a half weeks. I would also like to add that we have implemented the new cloak technology on a small scout ship. It may be useful for further missions of intelligence, or for transporting our ambassadors to possible Alliance planets. Thank you.”
“ I know that MoD Meka has begun distributing resources to our military preparation team, and we will begin a quiet recruitment campaign tomorrow. Good luck gentlemen”
(We move on to the darkened throne room of Emperor Sheepy. He and Admiral Sniper are talking)
“Our restrictions on Specialus Reservus are in place. The blockade you ordered is surrounding the planet, they will never be able to overpower it. The planet will soon be ours!”
“Good work Admiral Sniper; I now realise that your defection to us was true, and that you aren’t a spy. You have done well. I want you to pay a visit to our research centre and see if they are any closer to completing the tests on the prototype cruiser.”
“Right away Lord Sheepy”
(Meanwhile, back at the secret rebel base, Commander Er-No is arguing with Admiral Darkness)
“The troops cannot cope with the pressure! The routine has been doubled, and we need to fit in the extra new systems training. You will soon have a mutiny sir!”
“I have strict orders from GC Fantasy Meister not to cut back on training. But I will tell him of the situation. If these people wish to help free their planet and destroy the evil in this universe, they will have to work for it!”
“But bear in mind sir, some of these people were only farmers until two days ago. You are lucky they are learning this fast!”
“I will not take that from you Commander Er-No. Fantasy Meister will hear of the problems, but if you do not realise your place in the chain of command, you may no longer be in it. Do you know what I mean?”
“Yes Admiral, I will notify the regiments”
(The hi-tech research lab of the Senate sees Admiral Sniper and a scientist talking, while many scientists run around making frantic final preparations)
“We have completed final tests of the ship Admiral Sniper. It will be operational in 4 hours.”
“Very good. I want it en-route to Specialus Reservus at 09:00 hours, is that clear?”
“Yes sir, as soon as it is fuelled, the X-09 prototype will lift off”
“I will notify Lord Sheepy of your good work”
(Admiral Darkness takes the predicament to GC Fantasy Meister)
“I understand your situation Admiral Darkness; I leave it in your judgement. I will notify Mr. Grix of the delay in the mission.”
“There is no need for that sir; the training will be completed on time. The new recruits are amazingly skilled, I think we can halve their flight training, and concentrate on the new systems.”
“Very well”
(BUZZ. the door rings)
“Enter?”
(MoW Grix enters the room)
“Yes MoW Grix, what can I do for you?”
“Me and my team have completed the PDS systems. The turrets are ready to go up as soon as you say so!”
“Very good work Grix. It will be 2 days before our fleet is ready and staffed. But unfortunately we have discovered a jump-gate opening. It is a blockade fleet from the Senate, but luckily it is only small, as they have no idea of our fleet! We should incur zero losses to it”
(Genaral Dark is speaking to Emperor Sheepy, as Sheepy gazes out of the window)
“Our fleet has an ETA of 2 days sir. We have had no signs of an attempt at rebellion; they are complying with our demands. No planets are willing to help them in their cause.”
“Well-done General Dark, you are living up to your father well”
“Thank you Dad, I mean Lord Sheepy”
“You will take a landing party down to Specialus Reservus, once the blockade is in place. You will search every house, factory, even the Ministerial Palace, and be SURE that there are no attempts at rebellion. If you find ANY ships with offensive capability, call in a strike from the orbiting cruisers. Good Luck Son. Oh, and take Admiral Sniper with you. I still don’t trust him.”
“Yes Lord, Father, erm, Lord Sheepy.
(MoD Meka, Admiral Darkness, MoW Grix, GC Meister, MoC Ant and the other Ministers are sitting in the meeting room once again)
“The fleet is fuelled, manned and armed”
“Thank you MoW Grix. I trust in your judgment of the blockade. Our small fighters should go in after the PDS is up. The ships in the blockade are slow; our interceptors will have no problems. Admiral Darkness, take your men into red-alert. We will begin the attack at dawn.”
“Yes Sir, we will destroy the Senate scum!”
“MoC Ant, do you have any news on possible allies?”
“Planet FoGerus, at (197:15:) may be able to help us, but their transmissions are being scrambled. All incoming transmissions are in-retrievable, Sir”
“Very well, we will begin the rebellion on our own, prepare a final message to FoGerus.”
“Yes sir.”
“Finally, MoD Meka, do we have enough eonium to attack the Galactic Senate Headquarters?”
“Yes sir, we have plenty.”
“Then all that remains to be said is good luck! You are dismissed”
“Yes Sir”
(Admiral Sniper and General Dark leave a small ship which has just landed on Specialus Reservus)
“We have touched down on the outskirts of their main city. We will report back hourly”
“God-speed son, Sheepy out”
(CLUNK, Sniper strikes Dark over the head with a crow-bar)
“He wasn’t too much trouble, now, I must report to GC Fantasy Meister, with the retrieved information.
(Sniper finds GC Meister in the meeting room)
“Fantasy... Meister. Thank god I found you! I have the shield frequency of the Senate vessels. I also have fleet and PDS sizes, as well as news on the X-09 prototype.”
“Good work Sniper, now head down to the hangar and man your ship. I will transmit the information to the fleet.”
(We see the Rebel fleet in a hangar. As each unit responds, we view the cockpit)
“This is Fantasy Meister to all units. Are you in position?”
“Red leader standing by”
“Gold regiment, we’re ready”
“This is Admiral Darkness to all friendly ships. Begin take-off sequence, and form up on my lead. We will hit the larger vessels first, and with their shield frequencies, We’ll be able to slice through their defences.”
“Roger”
“OK”
“Fantasy Meister here. All units reported space-bound. Good luck Mr. Darkness.”
“We won’t need it sir”
(We alternate between Darkness’ and Snipers cockpits)
“Sniper to Darkness, I made it back! It’s good to be at your side, Sir.”
“Thank you, it’s great to have your support. All units - begin attack.”
(We see an enemy warships explode in a magnificent fashion)
“Yehahh, there goes the first one! One warship down”
“Minus one cruiser”
“Don’t get too cocky!”
“Darkness to all units. The remaining cruisers are launching their interceptors. Did you hear that Fantasy Meister? “
“Roger, powering up PDS........................ PDS online, you shouldn’t have any problems.”
“Thanks Meka”
(Suddenly a huge volley of Laser fire takes out many a ship)
“Chandler, uncloak your ships, it’s only the smaller craft left, but they’re giving us a hard time.”
“Roger. Chandler to all cloaked vessels, begin attack”
(From out of nowhere, a new fleet appears, flying at top speed around a star-cruiser)
(A huge scene follows, with all units being destroyed, without any Rebel losses)
(The blockade has been destroyed, and all ships have returned to the planet surface. We find our heroes in a bar, celebrating)
“Another round on me Shaneo!”
“Yes Admiral, may I say, I saw the victory - quite amazing, and no losses either!”
“Thank you Shaneo - get yourself a drink as well”
“Yes sir! (Enthusiastically)”
(FM gets up on a stool)
“Quiet everybody, I wish to speak. It was an amazing victory, but don’t get too cocky. This was just one small fleet. Mr. Sniper has briefed you all on the Senate’s fleet, and we will face a tough challenge. But we believe (197:15) will help us out, though we can’t be sure. I will see ALL of you at 08:00 hours do make a battle plan. And congratulations, Shaneo get me a drink!”
(The battle plans are made, the fleet is orbiting Specialus Reservus. Back at Galactic Senate HQ, Sheepy is arguing with a junior officer)
“What do you mean, destroyed? and what has happened to my son and Sniper? He what? My son prisoner, and Sniper a traitor after all?”
“Well, yes sir. A large strike force hit our blockade; they knew our shield frequency. I have ordered the fleet to re-modulate”
“Very well, prepare the PDS, and ready the fleet. We will crush the rebellion! Bwa hahah, Bwa hahahaha!”
(We see the Rebel fleet again. As somebdy speaks, the view switches to their cockpit)
“Set navigation computers to (1:1). Engage engines”
“Are we really up to this Mr. Darkness?”
“Of course, PB”
“But they will know that we know their shield frequencies! They’ll change them!”
“Let them Golden Rhino, we’ll be ready!”
“Their PDS will be huge!”
“Quiet your fears Goat Boy, remember the PDS evasion training!”
(Back at Senate HQ, A commander speaks to Sheepy)
“The rebel fleet is on its way. Shall I order an intercept?”
“No, we fight on our own turf, Send scouting parties ahead. Try to determine what their fleet consists of.”
“Yes Sir”
(We see the rebel fleet dropping out of a jump-gate. A huge fleet confronts them)
“We are approaching the planet. We have cleared the jump-gate. Charge all weapons. Fleet 1 - attack pattern beta - go for the PDS! Fleet 2 attack pattern Epsilon. The interceptors and fast fighters. Fleet 3 - form up on my lead! This is it lads”
(Monkey_with_attitude’s interceptor is destroyed)
“arghhhhhhh”
“Damn it, we lost Monkey_With_Attitude. Concentrate firepower on the Star-cruisers.”
(View alternates between pilots)
“Darkness, this is PB, fleet 1 is incurring massive losses. We just lost Your Honour!”
“This is fleet 2, we are the same. We lost Er-No, I’m assuming command.”
“Roger fleets 1 and 2, our situation is bad to. Break of into groups of 2. Each pair target a different ship”
“Roger”
“Roger”
“This is Fantasy Meister. Our cruisers are in range. All fighters concentrate on interceptors. We’ll take care of the rest!”
“Meister? You’ve joined the battle?”
“Yeah, now lets kick senate butt!”
“Roger that!!”
(The enemy pilots speak to each other, alternating cockpits)
“This is Time_Warp to all Senate vessels. We have confirmation that GC Fantasy Meister is on that X-09. Concentrate all firepower on it.”
“Pagey to Time_Warp, roger that.”
“This is M-16 - yes sir!”
(We alternate between pilots and a view of the fleet as it moves to protect FM)
“This is Darkness to all fighters. Pull back to assist X-09”
“This is Meister - negative fighters, continue the mission!”
“I WILL NOT let you die!”
“That’s an ORDER!”
“I am in control of all ships, and I am ordering them to defend you. When we get home. I’ll assume full responsibility. I am ready to loose my rank and be court-martialled, but I won’t standby and let you be killed. Darkness OUT”
“This is Sniper, My..... arghhhh”
“Sniper? SNIPER?
(A hole is blasted in Snipers cockpit. He is still alive, placing his oxygen mask on. Then his engine cuts out. His ship dives straight through the atmosphere of the planet. Sniper is no more)
(A strange voice blasts out of Darkness’ com-unit)
“Yehaaah!”
“Who are you?”
“I’m Tony, Chief of defence at FoGerus. We thought you could use some help!”
“Thanks, we could use some assistance!”
“Ali reporting in”
“Webmaster at your command”
“This is Wookie monster”
“Venombyte here”
“Welcome to the team gentlemen. Now lets finish this fight - concentrate all firepower on the planet surface”
“Are you crazy? We can’t take a planet!”
“I think you’ll find the X-09 has one surprise left - Meister, fire the Nova bomb. All ships retreat to a safe distance”
“Yes sir”
“I’m not gonna make it - arghhhhhhhh!!”
(Darkness’ ship is sent into oblivion as the exploding planet reaches his interceptor)
(BOOM (1:1) is destroyed!)
(Narrative)
So, the Evil Galactic Senate is destroyed. A powerful alliance is formed between the two planets. Two months later, Fantasy Meister becomes leader of the new Galactic Empire. Unfortunately, during the defeat of The Galactic Senate, many lost their lives. We join Fantasy Meister at a remembrance ceremony:
(A large ceremony hall, with all remaining Rebels in it)
“We are here today to honour those that brought peace to the universe. These following souls will be remembered as heroes. Admiral Darkness - None of it would have been possible without him, the brave Sniper - helped us immensely, and of course Monkey_With_attitude, Your Honour and the brave Tony, who came to our rescue at our gravest hour. I propose a toast to the heroes of the Tides of War.”
“To the heroes!!”

“Yeah, now lets kick senate butt!”
“Roger that!!”
(The enemy pilots speak to each other, alternating cockpits)
“This is Time_Warp to all Senate vessels. We have confirmation that GC Fantasy Meister is on that X-09. Concentrate all firepower on it.”
“Pagey to Time_Warp, roger that.”
“This is M-16 - yes sir!”
(We alternate between pilots and a view of the fleet as it moves to protect FM)
“This is Darkness to all fighters. Pull back to assist X-09”
“This is Meister - negative fighters, continue the mission!”
“I WILL NOT let you die!”
“That’s an ORDER!”
“I am in control of all ships, and I am ordering them to defend you. When we get home. I’ll assume full responsibility. I am ready to loose my rank and be court-martialled, but I won’t standby and let you be killed. Darkness OUT”
“This is Sniper, My..... arghhhh”
“Sniper? SNIPER?
(A hole is blasted in Snipers cockpit. He is still alive, placing his oxygen mask on. Then his engine cuts out. His ship dives straight through the atmosphere of the planet. Sniper is no more)
(A strange voice blasts out of Darkness’ com-unit)
“Yehaaah!”
“Who are you?”
“I’m Tony, Chief of defence at FoGerus. We thought you could use some help!”
“Thanks, we could use some assistance!”
“Ali reporting in”
“Webmaster at your command”
“This is Wookie monster”
“Venombyte here”
“Welcome to the team gentlemen. Now lets finish this fight - concentrate all firepower on the planet surface”
“Are you crazy? We can’t take a planet!”
“I think you’ll find the X-09 has one surprise left - Meister, fire the Nova bomb. All ships retreat to a safe distance”
“Yes sir”
“I’m not gonna make it - arghhhhhhhh!!”
(Darkness’ ship is sent into oblivion as the exploding planet reaches his interceptor)
(BOOM (1:1) is destroyed!)
(Narrative)
So, the Evil Galactic Senate is destroyed. A powerful alliance is formed between the two planets. Two months later, Fantasy Meister becomes leader of the new Galactic Empire. Unfortunately, during the defeat of The Galactic Senate, many lost their lives. We join Fantasy Meister at a remembrance ceremony:
(A large ceremony hall, with all remaining Rebels in it)
“We are here today to honour those that brought peace to the universe. These following souls will be remembered as heroes. Admiral Darkness - None of it would have been possible without him, the brave Sniper - helped us immensely, and of course Monkey_With_attitude, Your Honour and the brave Tony, who came to our rescue at our gravest hour. I propose a toast to the heroes of the Tides of War.”
“To the heroes!!”

A story forum? yeah, great idea. And as you say, Does anyone really think the FoG should only be about games?
WHO THINKS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH WRITING STORIES?
Who are the best writers - The notables and most gameaday winners. And what review-mania? And why am I so sad? So many unanswered questions, so little time!
you are a sad sad man Darkness write something about gaming! don't mees about....stop the review mania and show them who's the best writers.
So I'm a regular, a first class planetarion player and I was speaking the Darkness while he wrote it but where am I in the story...
... I've got to be in there somewhere...
