Alright everyone, sorry for the delay. This upate is the longest one yet, and quite possibly the lognest post I have EVER posted on pokegym....At any rate, my imagination got the best of me, and I just kept writing and writing. If you enjoy Star Wars, you'll love this update. If you hate my long updates, well, I'm sorry.
On the other hand, this makes up for my crappy end Day 5 Update
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Imperial Glory floated dead in space, orbiting a small planet whose sparse colonists where unaware of the battle being fought above, a battle that might decide the fate of the galaxy itself.
While the ship fell dark, many of its remaining inhabitants snuck into the shadows for reasons of their own.
In the Barracks, one man slept, hoping he would be safe as he closed his eyes to the world, next to him a small toolbox. A creature, sat cross-legged on his bed, and seemed to be watching something far away. He suddenly jerked as if seeing something unholy, but soon returned to peace. Another creature, clad in full green and blue armor, leaned against the bulkhead on the other side of the room, gun and armor glistening in the scarce light. He seemed to be waiting, but not for anything but the daylight. When a man, cloaked in black approached him, his weapon, a stunted rifle with a brown butt, went up and instantly sighted in on the cloaked man’s head. The cloaked man raised his hand and assured the armored creature he meant no fear. He then whispered something that only the two of them could hear. The armored creature listened, but with his helmet on, it was impossible to tell if the creature agreed or disagreed. The cloaked man quickly exited the room. Elsewhere in the room, a Pokeball was dropped by someone, and a Spiritomb appeared. The Spiritomb roamed the room and found something shiny, which it returned to its owner.
In the mess, only one inhabitant spent their night. Tinkering with gadgets and machinery, their sense of safety being placed in solitude was mistaken
In the Hanger, a cloaked man sat on the top of some wreckage from the initial battle. He face covered in shadow, his eyes staring into the stars though the transparent blue shield that kept the coldness of space separated from the interior of the hanger. He tuned out the world around him and sat, not doing anything, just sitting and thinking. All the while, taking advantage of his oblivious, a Pokémon approached the wreckage he sat upon and with a mighty scream, let lose an electrical attack that shook the man’s very core with 10,000 volts. The man, suddenly aware of his surroundings fell off his perch and looked up to see a yellow four legged Pokémon running away. A purple and blue Pokémon stood in the rafter above, watching the events unfold, but staying out of the situation.
The Control Room was located on top of the back end of the ship. Small enough to minimize its target surface, but large enough to encompass a small company of troops. Four blurs darted into the room, their augmented speed thanks to a boost from the Force. Immediately, they sensed the presence two people hiding in the room, watching their moves, but making no attempt to attack them. There was also another presence, but of someone who had closed their mind off, and was difficult to track. The Jedi came to a halt in the middle of the Control Room. They were in an open area, where they could see in every direction. One of the Jedi turned to their comrade, a Lucario and spoke.
“We have reason to believe that you are in grave danger tonight. If the Empire attacks you, then we can fight them off.”
Another Jedi, this one female, chimed in, “We will need to be ready, everyone defensive positions, three-hundred and sixty degree view.”
The four Jedi formed a circle. Their Lightsabers hummed to life as each one was ignited with a snap-hiss. Without warning, three of the Jedi were thrown to the ground when a white barrier constructed itself from seemingly nowhere and engulfed and surrounded the Jedi Lucario they had planned to protect. The rest of the Jedi in turn made a triangular shape surrounding the barrier, defensive positions at the ready. A loud creaking noise echoed throughout the Control Room. A distant explosion rumbled and caused the floor to vibrate beneath the Jedi’s feet.
The room remained silent, and the Jedi’s vigilance stood strong. In the back of the room, the clicking of boots, one pair broke the silence. Someone was approaching them. A man in a black cloak emerged from the shadows. His face obscured by a mask, similar to the one worn by Darth Cyrus. His hand extended from his cloak, and revealed a long silver cylindrical object. He pressed a button and revealed it to be a two bladed Lightsaber, as two menacing red blades protruded from either side with a simultaneous snap-hiss
He spoke, his voice distorted by the mask, “Jedi Lucario, I finally found you.”
The Jedi adjusted their stance to face the newcomer. One of them spoke, “You may be strong in the Force dark one, but you are not as strong as your master. Three of us will easily destroy you.”
The cloaked man nodded his head, “I agree, that’s why I brought friends.”
Three other cloaked men in masks walked out from the shadows. Each one ignited their Lightsaber with a simultaneous snap-hiss. The cloaked man with the double-bladed Lightsaber laughed, “Tell me Jedi, can you take on all four of us? I think not!” He turned to the new accomplices and raised his Lightsaber above his head. “Destroy them my loyal Sith, show no mercy!”
The Jedi moved to intercept. The female Jedi engaged two of the Sith while the male Jedi engaged in the other. At the same time the Gallade, two green Lightsabers in hand, moved to challenge the two bladed Sith commanding them.
The cloaked man adopted an offensive stance. “My, my, how fitting that I face a Pokémon. My life has been spent trying to reign in your kind who has roam free for too long!”
The Gallade began to slowly circle the cloaked man. “What do you mean, who are you? He inquired.
The cloaked man threw his mask to the floor and revealed his face. He raised his head and shouted “You may call me Giovanni. Death is your destiny, and your destiny lies with me!”
He ran towards the Gallade. Double bladed saber held to his right, upon coming in swing range, he arced it saber upwards and tried to his the Gallade with both blades spinning the blade forward as it came up. The Gallade, leaned backwards at his back and avoided the double bladed death, and at the same time came in from both sides as he tried to scissor Giovanni with both blades. Giovanni reacted and stopped his blade vertically. He reversed the spin of his blade, and caught the left blade from the bottom, and the right blade from the top, stopping both blades mid swing. He augmented his strength with the Force and pushed hard on both blades. The Gallade, unable to withstand Giovanni’s push was forced to do a rolling jump to the right. In the process he lost his right Lightsaber which had been push to the ground during the assault. Giovanni noticed the Gallade looking downward and shifted his gave to the deactivated Lightsaber at his feet. He spun his Lightsaber once in one hand and deactivated one of the blade so that only one blade was activated, aiming at the ground. He plunged his Lightsaber downward to destroy the blade, but was thrown backwards an inch before success. The Gallade let loose a Force Push that sent Giovanni hurtling backwards until his hit the bulkhead and collapsed. He was not down for long though and within moment was recovering his stance. The Gallade took advantage of the situation to use the Force to summon back his dropped Lightsaber. Both sabers back in his hand, he put one leg backwards, and adopted a defensive position, waiting for Giovanni to make the next move.
The control room rumbled and shook slightly
Meanwhile nearby, the male Jedi was being forced back by the Sith he was engaged in. The enemy would sweep left, then come from above. The Sith timed his attack so that there was no room for retaliation. The male Jedi was stuck on the defensive, parrying and avoiding attacks, and losing energy fast. Slowly he was getting pushed backwards, and it was only a matter of time until his back was against a wall.
The female Jedi, on the other side of the room was engaged in a battle of the Force as she jumped to avoid a telekinetic blast and mid-air thrust her arm forward for a Force Push or her own. She hit one of the Sith, but the other was behind her and let loose a stream of Force Lightning. The female Jedi twisted in mid-air and absorbed the electricity with her Lightsaber blade, but was distracted too long and fell to the ground on her side. The two Sith closed in on her. The control room shook again, this time violently enough to make those standing lose their balance. The two Sith lost their balance long enough to give the female Jedi time to get back on her feet. The Sith were also back on their feet, one approaching the female, with two Lightsabers in his hands. The other had left for some reason.
Back in the center of the Control Room, the Lucario sat in his dome of protection. He helpless watched his comrades battled the Sith, wish there was someway he could help. He was startled when he sensed several presences approach him. He stood up and turned around. He came face to face with a Pikachu clad in black Armor. Darth Pikachu stood before him. To his left, Darth Pikachu’s master, the Emperor of the Empire, Darth Sideous stood by his side. Now surrounding his barrier were the rest of the Empire. The Lucario looked around, confident the barrier would hold. Darth Pikachu ignited his Lightsaber with a snap-hiss and lightly tapped his red blade on the white barrier. As expected, the blade had no effect on the barrier. He turned to his master and spoke.
“My Master, he is protected. I have encountered this barrier before, it is unbreakable.”
The elderly Emperor Palpatine smiled and chuckled to himself. The laugh echoed of evil, and the Lucario felt it, even inside the barrier, "Patience Lord Pikachu, have faith in the Dark Side. Everything is happening as I have foreseen it. This barrier will not be a problem much longer.”
The Control Room shook violently this time, various explosions echoed from within the ship.
Palpatine laughed, “See how this ship falls apart around us. The Dark Side is guiding us to victory,” he continued to laugh.
In a shadowy corner of the Control Room, a woman was regaining her footing from the previous shake. She recovered quickly and desperately held onto the control panel in front of her. She was looking at the Lucario and the barrier around him. Her strength was all that was keeping that barrier up, and the Lucario safe. The ship shook again, this time something creaked above her. The woman looked up and saw a large metal panel shifting from the last shake, she hoped it would hold as moving would disrupt the barrier which the Empire was still patiently waiting around.
Darth Pikachu looked around, as if sensing a presence, something calling to him. He left the rest of the Imperial Forces and walked to the far side of the room, away from the Jedi who were still battling the Sith forces. He came to a dead end and looked around, still feeling drawn to this spot. An instant later he sensed the attack and quickly stepped to the side as a laser blast left a black mark on the ground by his feet. His gaze followed the laser’s incoming direction, and he used the Force to pull at everything in that general direction. He pulled back with the invisible hand of the Force and chairs, pens, holo-projectors, and data pads flew towards him, passing him and crashing against the bulkhead behind him. He once again exerted the Force and pulled, this time, he felt a being coming at him. The woman can hurtling at Darth Pikachu with her foot extended, using the momentum from the Force to fuel her kick. Darth Pikachu saw the attack from far away and easily dodged it. The woman landed on all fours, and slid a bit on the metal floor. Darth Pikachu immediately recognized the woman.
“Pokémon Hunter J,” he said with a hint of surprise, “you are the last person I expected to see here.”
Pokémon Hunter J smiled. She clicked a button on her visor and took some readings on Darth Pikachu. She then pulled out what appeared to be a normal sword, and slipped a medium sized circular plate on to her left arm.
“A chance to kill a Pokémon who is also a Jedi? You, Darth Pikachu, are the greatest prey I have ever hunted. You should be honored that I chosen to face you.”
She pressed a button on the sword and it radiated blue. She then pressed a button on her left shoulder, and the circular plate too glowed blue, She took the hand with the plate attached to her forearm, and upholstered a pistol from her hip. She adopted a battle stance and exclaimed, “Darth Pikachu, I will have your head, and mount it on my wall!”
She charged Darth Pikachu.
Back near the center of the room, Giovanni had regained his footing and reignited his Lightsaber. His anger showed as let loose a primal scream and charged the Gallade, spinning his Lightsaber in a figure eight as he closed the distance. Gallade swayed from side to side, keeping his movements unpredictable. Once Giovanni was close enough, Gallde swept his leg down low, trying to sweep Giovanni off his feet. Giovanni saw it coming though and jump up, and spun his blade like a rotor and he flipped over Gallade upside down. Gallade put both blades directly up and stopped the movement of the blades and causing Giovanni to swing to the left and down to the ground. He landed on his feet however and stood strong. Giovanni charged Gallade again, however this time he held his Lightsaber straight out, with both blades extending to the side away from Gallade. The instant he was close enough, he pulled, and his double bladed Lightsaber split into two smaller Lightsabers. Giovanni jumped and with both Lightsabers held backwards grip in his hand came down behind Gallade and pinned both of his green Lightsabers to their respective sides. Giovanni thrust his head forward and head butt the Gallade, then swept his right blade up as he twisted to the lift. He caught Gallade’s left Lightsaber at the hilt in the process and the green blade dissolved as the Lightsaber hilt was destroyed, cut in half. Gallade stumbled backwards, and Giovanni outstretch his right arm, deactivated his Lightsaber and gripped the air. Gallade immediately raised several feet off the floor and began to make hacking noises. He gripped at his throat in vain trying to loosen the invisible hand that gripped it.
Giovanni spoke, “It is a shame you had to get in my way Gallade. I actually have no quarrel with you tonight. My target is the Lucario Jedi you and your fellows are protecting. Unfortunately, you chose to stand against me. I shall then make an example of you for all who challenge me to see!”
The Gallade struggled for air, calling upon all of his strength, but Giovanni just tightened his invisible hold and Gallade could feel his neck about to crack, straining under the pressure. He reached out with the Force to grab his remaining Lightsaber off the floor. It began to roll towards him, but Giovanni intercepted it, he used his free hand to use the Force to pull it towards him, where he slashed it in half. Weaponless, and quickly dying, Gallade was growing desperate. He reached for his Pokémon roots, hoping for something anything. Suddenly he found something. A move he never knew he had learned. Since becoming a Jedi, being a Pokémon was something of a secondary nature. He reached deep and concentrated on the move
“Teleport!” he thought to himself
The Gallade suddenly vanished. When he woke up, he was in one the closets, somewhere on the ship. He got up on his feet and felt around the dark for a door. He found one and slowly opened it, unsure on what e would find on the other side. When the door was open enough to see through, he saw he was in the Mess; there was one other creature there. Suddenly the ship shook again this one the most violent yet. A computerized female voice echoed in the Mess.
“External hull damage has caused several gas leaks in the Mess. Suggest immediate evacu-“
The mess then engulfed in flames as the entire room, already filled with gas ignited. The Gallade looked up and saw something big fall from the ceiling. He didn’t have a chance to avoid it and turned around in time for the object and hit him in the back of the head. He got his bell rung, but quickly recovered. Suddenly he realized there was no time and he gave himself a burst of speed and raised an invisible shield around him with the Force. He darted from the room to safety. He was unsure what happened to the other creature in the Mess, but he did not see him or her escape. More importantly though, after the shock of surviving wore off, he looked around and realized…he remembered, he remembered everything. His memory had come back, and more importantly, he had work to do. The Gallade ran off into the shadows.
Back in the Control Room, the explosion rumbled the floors and walls, though no one knew what had truly happened. Giovanni looked around, trying to find out where the Gallade had gone, but to no avail. He shrugged to himself and deactivated his other Lightsaber. He reattached the two hilts and stowed his Lightsaber. His target was the protected Lucario; he still had his own mission to attend to. Giovanni hopped onto a rafter with a Force assisted jump and surveyed the scene below him. The first thing he saw was his Sith were losing their respective battles. The male Jedi had somehow disarmed his opponent, and his Lightsaber lay in several pieces on the ground. The Sith had resorted to using Force based techniques and attacks to try and stave off the Jedi attacker. The male Jedi however was deflecting the Sith’s Force Lighting attacks, and avoiding Dark Side telekinetic bursts, slowly making his way to the Sith who was backing up, clearly on the defensive. Nearby, separated by some control panels, the female Jedi had had been reduced to only one opponent, where had the other Sith gone, and held the other one at bay with ease as she parried each attack and forced him back. Finally he looked at his target, the Lucario. Lucario was still protected by that barrier, one that Giovanni knew all too well. However what was interesting was that the barrier was completely surrounded by the Empire. It seemed that they too had taken and interest in killing the Lucario. The Empire had more creative way to get its way, and they were clearly waiting for something. Giovanni turned his arm over and pressed a button on his wrist. The two reaming Sith below immediately stopped fighting their respective Jedi opponents and quickly made their escape. The male and female Jedi were left standing, bewildered at their opponent’s sudden departure. They decided to return to Lucario and make sure he was safe. Giovanni watched silently from the rafters deciding to play it safe and see how things played out. If an opportunity to kill Lucario arose, he would take it.
Back in the far side of the Control Room, another battle raged on. Darth Pikachu swung his Lightsaber at Pokémon Hunter J in a downward forward arc followed by an upward slash and was surprised to see her sword and shield easily block his melee attacks. Whatever that blue glow was, it was powerful enough to stop his red blade. Pokémon Hunter J stabbed forward with her sword. Darth Pikachu jumped backward, arching over and landing on his feet. He raised his arm and outstretched his black gloved hand. A torrent of lightning burst forward aimed at Pokémon Hunter J. The woman pressed a button on her shoulder with the hand she gripped the pistol in and had the shield attached to. A thin rod raised from her back and drew the lighting towards it. The rod channeled the destructive energy to the ground where it dissipated and disappeared. Furious that his attacks were failing, Darth Pikachu thrust his arm forward and threw a telekinetic burst at the Pokémon Hunter. The woman responded by clicking her heels together. The humm-clunk echoed as her shoes magnetically attached to the ground. The Force energy washed over her like wind, but did not falter her stance. She raised her left hand with the shield facing upwards and fired her blaster pistol four time times. Darth Pikachu easily deflected every shot who in turn hit the bulkhead or the floor and left black carbon marks. J shifted tactics and raised her right arm, the one that held the sword, attached at the wrist was a cannon like gadget. She tightened her grip and a brown projectile hurtled toward Darth Pikachu. Darth Pikachu jumped to avoid it, but it caught his cape, and suddenly a medium sized portion of his cape had been encased in a brown stone like substance. Darth Pikachu slashed his Lightsaber at his one cloak to remove the damaged piece. At the same time, Pokémon Hunter J shifted her stance and deactivated the magnetic grip on her boots. She charged Darth Pikachu again slashing to the left and right. The instant her next strike would connect, Darth Pikachu twisted his wrist, so as to block her sword as it came down on his right. He then turned and grabbed her arm that held the sword and squeezed. His grip, enhanced by the Force cause Pokémon Hunter J to shriek in pain and drop her sword. Darth Pikachu then used the Force to increase his strength and threw the woman to the left. She slammed into the equipment and fell to the ground on her side. She moaned in pain. Darth Pikachu extended his free hand and lifted the woman off the ground. He righted her in mid-air and consciously floated her closer to him. He put her at eye level and spoke.
“You are truly a worthy opponent, Pokémon Hunter J. Your talents would very much aid the Empire. However, you have shown yourself to be far too independent and rebellious for our needs, and you are not so special as to warrant me sparing your life. Perhaps I shall even mount your head on my wall, so as to show everyone what I do to those who oppose me. So Pokémon Hunter J, any last words?”
The woman, still invisibly held in mid-air smiled, “Pokeball go,” She said.
It took a moment for the words to hit Darth Pikachu, and that was a moment too much. Pokémon Hunter J had grabbed a Pokeball from her belt and tossed it at Darth Pikachu. Darth Pikachu lost his concentration and the Pokémon Hunter fell to the ground, he slashed at the Pokeball frantically and missed, the ball hit him in the chest and opened up. Darth Pikachu felt his body being converted to energy, and felt himself being pulled into the Pokémon capture device. A moment later he was inside the Pokeball. His Lightsaber lay besides the spherical device. Darth Pikachu struggled to free himself. The Pokeball wiggled to the left and right, a representation of his struggles, flashing red as the Pokeball’s automatic subduing mechanisms were activating. Darth Pikachu struggled, but he was too weary from the fight, the Pokeball stopped moving and finished with a click.
Pokémon Hunter J recovered herself and stood up. She walked over to the Pokeball that now sat motionless on the ground, and could not help for to giggle with joy and glee at her achievement. Capturing Darth Pikachu alive was worth tenfold then dead. She reached down and picked up the Pokeball, she looked at it for a moment, then stowed it away. She also picked up Darth Pikachu’s Lightsaber and clipped it to her belt, two trophies for her victory. Suddenly without warning, the ship violently shook again. This time the damage was clearly nearby. Pokémon Hunter J decided a hasty retreat was needed. At that moment however, the wall next to her blew open. The force of the explosion, knocked her to the ground, and sent the Pokeball on her belt, the one that contained Darth Pikachu to roll away. Her face changed to desperation, and she hurried after the device, which was rolling away with increasing speed. When she caught up to it, she picked it up again, and dusted it off. The floor beneath her creaked, the metal strained, and the control room violently shook again. Pokemon Hunter J looked down and watched the explosion come upwards from the floor and engulf her. The charred body of the once great Pokemon Hunter fell to the ground, and her prize, a Pokeball containing Darth Pikachu rolled away.
“Warning hull damage has caused multiple decompressions throughout the Control Room recommend immediate evacuation,” echoed a computerized female voice.
The Control Room shook again as more explosions rocked it. The male and female Jedi returned to find their comrade Lucario surrounded still by the barrier, but also by the Empire. They stopped in their tracks, unsure what to do, and hoping the barrier would hold.
Giovanni continued to watch from above, it was then he spotted something odd, a woman standing by a control panel a ways away. She seemed focused on the Lucario in the center of the room. Another explosion, this one larger than the last, rocked the Control Room, The woman whose intent lied with the Lucario stumbled, and the barrier flickered. Giovanni understood now that this woman was creating the barrier. He toyed with the idea of killing her, but saw he did not need to; the last explosion loosened a large metal plate above the woman’s head. The plate fell directly on top of and smashed the woman’s frail frame. The woman entire body was crushed under its weight. The instant she fell, the barrier on the Lucario fell as well. The Lucario must have sensed this because he was already beginning to back flip away as the barrier fell. He landed several meter away from the circle of Imperial troops and ignited his Lightsaber, a bronze colored blade with a snap-hiss.
The Emperor stepped forward and laughed, “So Lucario, we finally get to meet.” He turned to one of his subordinates and added, “I sense Darth Pikachu is in trouble, go find him, and bring him back to us.”
The Imperial ran off in the direction Darth Pikachu had gone. At the same time the Emperor cackled with laugher, “I have waited a long time for this moment,” his voice lowered and a serious tone took it, “my Pokémon friend.”
Lucario lunged at the Emperor, Lightsaber cocked over his head for the slash. However the Emperor saw the attack and quickly raised his hand, letting out a burst of purple lightning. The attack hit the Lucario square in the chest as the Emperor used the same hand to invisibly grip the Lucario, still being shocked by electricity, and throw him to the left against the wall. The Lucario’s head hit the wall, and he fell to the ground. The Emperor turned and faced his Pokémon foe, who was struggling on his arms to push himself upright.
“You cannot hope to defeat me. This galaxy belongs to me, and I won’t let a Jedi, especially a Pokémon Jedi stop me.”
The Imperial who was left to find Darth Pikachu returned. In his possession was the Pokeball, he bowed before the Emperor.
“My lord, Lord Pikachu was nowhere to be found. There were the charred remains of a woman, and this,” he held up the Pokeball.
The Emperor grabbed the Pokeball and dropped it. Darth Pikachu exploded out of the Pokeball in a flash of white and red energy. He looked around, realizing his surrounding had changed. He saw the Emperor and quickly turned and bowed.
“My Master, I was ambushed by Pokémon Hunter J. I failed to defeat her.”
The Emperor regarded Darth Pikachu for a moment, and then responded, “You are a fool, Darth Pikachu. You have let your confidence blind you, and allowed yourself to be captured by that woman. Use your anger and redeem yourself in my eyes. Kill that Lucario Jedi and prove your loyalty to me!”
Darth Pikachu’s gave shifted away for a moment, “I have lost my Lightsaber, my Master.”
The Emperor sneered, “Your problems are your own, and are of no concern to me. You may build a new one after we you have defeated this Jedi Pokémon scum!
“Yes, my Master.”
Darth Pikachu rose and turned to face the Lucario who had finally managed to get himself up. He was joined by the other two Jedi, the male and female Jedi from before.
The Lucario picked his Lightsaber back up and ignited it with a snap-hiss. Then he deactivated it just as quickly, and threw it to the ground.
He looked around for a moment then spoke, “I remember.”
He spoke louder, “I….Remember!”
He exclaimed, “I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!”
Lucario looked to his left and thrust his arm forward. He let loose a Force blast that threw the male Jedi back against the wall with enough power to dent the metal bulkhead. Immediately turning to his right, the Lucario faced his female comrade and lifted her off the ground with the Force and threw her backwards until she too hit the wall. He turned back to Darth Pikachu and the Emperor
“I am not Lucario….this…shell, this form, this mask, it no longer serves me.”
With that defiant statement, Lucario’s entire body turned to a blindly white light. The light expanded forward and covered the room. When it faded, Lucario was gone. In it’s pace stood an abnormally tall man. He had a black cloak, a bald head, and a face scarred beyond recognition. The most prominent of these scars being an ‘X’ across his face. His black cloak and cape each had a red ‘X’ sewn to the front and back.
The not-Lucario spoke, his voice now low and horse, “I am the Dark Lord, Mr. X and I shall have my revenge!”
Mr. X put his arms behind his back, under his cloak and pulled out two ‘X’ shaped silver weapons. Any uncertainty of what they were vanished instantaneously when he ignited eight red Lightsaber blades in a loud echoing snap-hiss.
Mr. X began to spin his two blades extremely fast and began closing in on Darth Pikachu. However the might of the Empire would not be challenged so easily.
Darth Pikachu raised his arm, pointing at Mr. X, “Imperials, fire at will!”
The other Imperials obeyed and a flurry of laser bolts singed the air. Mr. X easily deflected all the blasts in random directions, but was too distracted too see Darth Pikachu running at him. Mr. X spotted him at the last moment and twisted, throwing his left quad-Lightsaber at the oncoming Dark Lord. Darth Pikachu reached out with the Force and grabbed the spinning blades. He drew the hilt to his outstretched arm and grasped the weapon himself, much to Mr. X’s surprise. Darth Pikachu did a three-sixty degree turn, using the momentum of the turn to add to his strength and come down on Mr. X’s left shoulder blade, severing the entire arm from his body. Mr. X screamed in pain and rushed Darth Pikachu, his blade slashing wildly. Mr. X was now ignoring the laser blasts from the other Imperials which were now hitting their target relentlessly. When he came upon Darth Pikachu, he slashed downwards, and their blades both locked upon one another. Mr. X then shifted the direction of his blade, spinning upwards from the locked position. Darth Pikachu jumped back to avoid the attack, but only managed to avoid three blades, the fourth one sliced directly along Darth Pikachu’s right wrist and severed his arm. The hand fell to the ground and revealed itself to be a robotic prosthetic. The ‘X’ Lightsaber in the hand was flung off and hurtled into the shadows. Darth Pikachu roared in pain and anger, and gave himself fully to the Dark Side. He reached out with stump and gripped Mr. X. He pulled X toward him at a great speed, and then punched him in the chest with a Force enhanced punch. Mr. X flew backwards, but before he could hit the wall, Darth Pikachu reached out again and grabbed the dark one in mid-air, whiplashing his neck backwards with the change in inertial. Darth Pikachu threw Mr. X against the bulkhead and dragged him along the floor, rubbing him against the metal plates. Finally Darth Pikachu gestured upwards and Mr. X hit the ceiling and fell back to the ground, barely moving. Darth Pikachu however was not done yet. He walked up to Mr. X’s crumpled body and outstretched his stump hand, repeating words he had not said in years.
“PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKAAAAAAAA CHUUUUUUUUUU!”
A mighty Force induced Thunder attack ripped forward from his stump and electrocuted the fallen Dark Jedi. The lighting started yellow, then changed to blue, then changed to white with the white hot intensity of power being extruded. Mr. X was convulsing as with untold amounts of voltages coursed through his body. Darth Pikachu then raised his other hand and screamed with rage as he doubled the attack, letting loose lightning from each hand. The assault lasted only a few seconds, but the remains of Mr. X were simply the charred outlines of something bipedal.
Darth Pikachu fell to his knees, exhausted from the battle. The Emperor approached him.
“Very good, my apprentice, you have proven your worth to me. Our job is finished here, and I sense this area of the ship does not have long.”
The Control Room shook again, and suddenly explosions erupted all over. The Empire quickly took their leave, escaping the room. The male and female Jedi were nowhere to be seen. At some point during the fight, they had limped away, but they too were needed to escape. Within minutes the Control Room imploded in on itself and was destroyed.
In the Engine Room, a man walked in. This was his favorite spot, and he had something he planned on doing. However before he took more then five steps a barrier enveloped him and prevented him from advancing any farther. Frustrated at failure, he sat down to wait out the night. He would be unable to sleep however. He could have sworn he saw Emperor Palpatine looking at him, trying to figure out how to get to him. However that might have been just the wind and the shadows playing tricks on him. In the shadows, a man waited for a target that never came.
In the laboratory, a woman was by the ventilation shafts with a camera. She thought she was alone in the room. That is until someone came in, seemingly much too late to do anything during the night. She never saw him again, perhaps he went and hid.
The night was a busy one, and brought with it several surprises no one expected. When the inhabitants of the ship awoke the next morning, they first discovered that they could no longer meet in the mess. It was completely and utterly destroyed and would no longer be assessable as a room for roles, for the rest of the game, by anyone. Among the wreckage of the mess was the charred remains of a wookie. They body was identified as Akane. She had been killed by the explosions in the Mess.
Upon further inspection of the ship, it was revealed that the Control Room was also no longer be assessable as a room for roles, for the rest of the game, by anyone. It had imploded to the point that no one could even enter it. However there was enough space to see three dead bodies. Dave628, DarthPika and Pikamaster were all dead. However the town only mourned for one.
The night had in some sense been a victory for the Rebellion….but it had been more of a victory for the Empire, who was still doing extremely well at avoiding detection. The town was running low on options. If they were going to survive, something would have to be done soon. The ship now only had four (4) accessible rooms with the Control Room and the Mess destroyed. Also Sandslash7 had severe burns on him, and PokeChampofPokeBeach had a strange tattoo across his right forearm.
The tattoo looked like this: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/Absoltrainer/Untitled-2.jpg
The Commlink strangely enough was nowhere to be seen. The inhabitants of the Imperial Glory

On the other hand, this makes up for my crappy end Day 5 Update
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Imperial Glory floated dead in space, orbiting a small planet whose sparse colonists where unaware of the battle being fought above, a battle that might decide the fate of the galaxy itself.
While the ship fell dark, many of its remaining inhabitants snuck into the shadows for reasons of their own.
In the Barracks, one man slept, hoping he would be safe as he closed his eyes to the world, next to him a small toolbox. A creature, sat cross-legged on his bed, and seemed to be watching something far away. He suddenly jerked as if seeing something unholy, but soon returned to peace. Another creature, clad in full green and blue armor, leaned against the bulkhead on the other side of the room, gun and armor glistening in the scarce light. He seemed to be waiting, but not for anything but the daylight. When a man, cloaked in black approached him, his weapon, a stunted rifle with a brown butt, went up and instantly sighted in on the cloaked man’s head. The cloaked man raised his hand and assured the armored creature he meant no fear. He then whispered something that only the two of them could hear. The armored creature listened, but with his helmet on, it was impossible to tell if the creature agreed or disagreed. The cloaked man quickly exited the room. Elsewhere in the room, a Pokeball was dropped by someone, and a Spiritomb appeared. The Spiritomb roamed the room and found something shiny, which it returned to its owner.
In the mess, only one inhabitant spent their night. Tinkering with gadgets and machinery, their sense of safety being placed in solitude was mistaken
In the Hanger, a cloaked man sat on the top of some wreckage from the initial battle. He face covered in shadow, his eyes staring into the stars though the transparent blue shield that kept the coldness of space separated from the interior of the hanger. He tuned out the world around him and sat, not doing anything, just sitting and thinking. All the while, taking advantage of his oblivious, a Pokémon approached the wreckage he sat upon and with a mighty scream, let lose an electrical attack that shook the man’s very core with 10,000 volts. The man, suddenly aware of his surroundings fell off his perch and looked up to see a yellow four legged Pokémon running away. A purple and blue Pokémon stood in the rafter above, watching the events unfold, but staying out of the situation.
The Control Room was located on top of the back end of the ship. Small enough to minimize its target surface, but large enough to encompass a small company of troops. Four blurs darted into the room, their augmented speed thanks to a boost from the Force. Immediately, they sensed the presence two people hiding in the room, watching their moves, but making no attempt to attack them. There was also another presence, but of someone who had closed their mind off, and was difficult to track. The Jedi came to a halt in the middle of the Control Room. They were in an open area, where they could see in every direction. One of the Jedi turned to their comrade, a Lucario and spoke.
“We have reason to believe that you are in grave danger tonight. If the Empire attacks you, then we can fight them off.”
Another Jedi, this one female, chimed in, “We will need to be ready, everyone defensive positions, three-hundred and sixty degree view.”
The four Jedi formed a circle. Their Lightsabers hummed to life as each one was ignited with a snap-hiss. Without warning, three of the Jedi were thrown to the ground when a white barrier constructed itself from seemingly nowhere and engulfed and surrounded the Jedi Lucario they had planned to protect. The rest of the Jedi in turn made a triangular shape surrounding the barrier, defensive positions at the ready. A loud creaking noise echoed throughout the Control Room. A distant explosion rumbled and caused the floor to vibrate beneath the Jedi’s feet.
The room remained silent, and the Jedi’s vigilance stood strong. In the back of the room, the clicking of boots, one pair broke the silence. Someone was approaching them. A man in a black cloak emerged from the shadows. His face obscured by a mask, similar to the one worn by Darth Cyrus. His hand extended from his cloak, and revealed a long silver cylindrical object. He pressed a button and revealed it to be a two bladed Lightsaber, as two menacing red blades protruded from either side with a simultaneous snap-hiss
He spoke, his voice distorted by the mask, “Jedi Lucario, I finally found you.”
The Jedi adjusted their stance to face the newcomer. One of them spoke, “You may be strong in the Force dark one, but you are not as strong as your master. Three of us will easily destroy you.”
The cloaked man nodded his head, “I agree, that’s why I brought friends.”
Three other cloaked men in masks walked out from the shadows. Each one ignited their Lightsaber with a simultaneous snap-hiss. The cloaked man with the double-bladed Lightsaber laughed, “Tell me Jedi, can you take on all four of us? I think not!” He turned to the new accomplices and raised his Lightsaber above his head. “Destroy them my loyal Sith, show no mercy!”
The Jedi moved to intercept. The female Jedi engaged two of the Sith while the male Jedi engaged in the other. At the same time the Gallade, two green Lightsabers in hand, moved to challenge the two bladed Sith commanding them.
The cloaked man adopted an offensive stance. “My, my, how fitting that I face a Pokémon. My life has been spent trying to reign in your kind who has roam free for too long!”
The Gallade began to slowly circle the cloaked man. “What do you mean, who are you? He inquired.
The cloaked man threw his mask to the floor and revealed his face. He raised his head and shouted “You may call me Giovanni. Death is your destiny, and your destiny lies with me!”
He ran towards the Gallade. Double bladed saber held to his right, upon coming in swing range, he arced it saber upwards and tried to his the Gallade with both blades spinning the blade forward as it came up. The Gallade, leaned backwards at his back and avoided the double bladed death, and at the same time came in from both sides as he tried to scissor Giovanni with both blades. Giovanni reacted and stopped his blade vertically. He reversed the spin of his blade, and caught the left blade from the bottom, and the right blade from the top, stopping both blades mid swing. He augmented his strength with the Force and pushed hard on both blades. The Gallade, unable to withstand Giovanni’s push was forced to do a rolling jump to the right. In the process he lost his right Lightsaber which had been push to the ground during the assault. Giovanni noticed the Gallade looking downward and shifted his gave to the deactivated Lightsaber at his feet. He spun his Lightsaber once in one hand and deactivated one of the blade so that only one blade was activated, aiming at the ground. He plunged his Lightsaber downward to destroy the blade, but was thrown backwards an inch before success. The Gallade let loose a Force Push that sent Giovanni hurtling backwards until his hit the bulkhead and collapsed. He was not down for long though and within moment was recovering his stance. The Gallade took advantage of the situation to use the Force to summon back his dropped Lightsaber. Both sabers back in his hand, he put one leg backwards, and adopted a defensive position, waiting for Giovanni to make the next move.
The control room rumbled and shook slightly
Meanwhile nearby, the male Jedi was being forced back by the Sith he was engaged in. The enemy would sweep left, then come from above. The Sith timed his attack so that there was no room for retaliation. The male Jedi was stuck on the defensive, parrying and avoiding attacks, and losing energy fast. Slowly he was getting pushed backwards, and it was only a matter of time until his back was against a wall.
The female Jedi, on the other side of the room was engaged in a battle of the Force as she jumped to avoid a telekinetic blast and mid-air thrust her arm forward for a Force Push or her own. She hit one of the Sith, but the other was behind her and let loose a stream of Force Lightning. The female Jedi twisted in mid-air and absorbed the electricity with her Lightsaber blade, but was distracted too long and fell to the ground on her side. The two Sith closed in on her. The control room shook again, this time violently enough to make those standing lose their balance. The two Sith lost their balance long enough to give the female Jedi time to get back on her feet. The Sith were also back on their feet, one approaching the female, with two Lightsabers in his hands. The other had left for some reason.
Back in the center of the Control Room, the Lucario sat in his dome of protection. He helpless watched his comrades battled the Sith, wish there was someway he could help. He was startled when he sensed several presences approach him. He stood up and turned around. He came face to face with a Pikachu clad in black Armor. Darth Pikachu stood before him. To his left, Darth Pikachu’s master, the Emperor of the Empire, Darth Sideous stood by his side. Now surrounding his barrier were the rest of the Empire. The Lucario looked around, confident the barrier would hold. Darth Pikachu ignited his Lightsaber with a snap-hiss and lightly tapped his red blade on the white barrier. As expected, the blade had no effect on the barrier. He turned to his master and spoke.
“My Master, he is protected. I have encountered this barrier before, it is unbreakable.”
The elderly Emperor Palpatine smiled and chuckled to himself. The laugh echoed of evil, and the Lucario felt it, even inside the barrier, "Patience Lord Pikachu, have faith in the Dark Side. Everything is happening as I have foreseen it. This barrier will not be a problem much longer.”
The Control Room shook violently this time, various explosions echoed from within the ship.
Palpatine laughed, “See how this ship falls apart around us. The Dark Side is guiding us to victory,” he continued to laugh.
In a shadowy corner of the Control Room, a woman was regaining her footing from the previous shake. She recovered quickly and desperately held onto the control panel in front of her. She was looking at the Lucario and the barrier around him. Her strength was all that was keeping that barrier up, and the Lucario safe. The ship shook again, this time something creaked above her. The woman looked up and saw a large metal panel shifting from the last shake, she hoped it would hold as moving would disrupt the barrier which the Empire was still patiently waiting around.
Darth Pikachu looked around, as if sensing a presence, something calling to him. He left the rest of the Imperial Forces and walked to the far side of the room, away from the Jedi who were still battling the Sith forces. He came to a dead end and looked around, still feeling drawn to this spot. An instant later he sensed the attack and quickly stepped to the side as a laser blast left a black mark on the ground by his feet. His gaze followed the laser’s incoming direction, and he used the Force to pull at everything in that general direction. He pulled back with the invisible hand of the Force and chairs, pens, holo-projectors, and data pads flew towards him, passing him and crashing against the bulkhead behind him. He once again exerted the Force and pulled, this time, he felt a being coming at him. The woman can hurtling at Darth Pikachu with her foot extended, using the momentum from the Force to fuel her kick. Darth Pikachu saw the attack from far away and easily dodged it. The woman landed on all fours, and slid a bit on the metal floor. Darth Pikachu immediately recognized the woman.
“Pokémon Hunter J,” he said with a hint of surprise, “you are the last person I expected to see here.”
Pokémon Hunter J smiled. She clicked a button on her visor and took some readings on Darth Pikachu. She then pulled out what appeared to be a normal sword, and slipped a medium sized circular plate on to her left arm.
“A chance to kill a Pokémon who is also a Jedi? You, Darth Pikachu, are the greatest prey I have ever hunted. You should be honored that I chosen to face you.”
She pressed a button on the sword and it radiated blue. She then pressed a button on her left shoulder, and the circular plate too glowed blue, She took the hand with the plate attached to her forearm, and upholstered a pistol from her hip. She adopted a battle stance and exclaimed, “Darth Pikachu, I will have your head, and mount it on my wall!”
She charged Darth Pikachu.
Back near the center of the room, Giovanni had regained his footing and reignited his Lightsaber. His anger showed as let loose a primal scream and charged the Gallade, spinning his Lightsaber in a figure eight as he closed the distance. Gallade swayed from side to side, keeping his movements unpredictable. Once Giovanni was close enough, Gallde swept his leg down low, trying to sweep Giovanni off his feet. Giovanni saw it coming though and jump up, and spun his blade like a rotor and he flipped over Gallade upside down. Gallade put both blades directly up and stopped the movement of the blades and causing Giovanni to swing to the left and down to the ground. He landed on his feet however and stood strong. Giovanni charged Gallade again, however this time he held his Lightsaber straight out, with both blades extending to the side away from Gallade. The instant he was close enough, he pulled, and his double bladed Lightsaber split into two smaller Lightsabers. Giovanni jumped and with both Lightsabers held backwards grip in his hand came down behind Gallade and pinned both of his green Lightsabers to their respective sides. Giovanni thrust his head forward and head butt the Gallade, then swept his right blade up as he twisted to the lift. He caught Gallade’s left Lightsaber at the hilt in the process and the green blade dissolved as the Lightsaber hilt was destroyed, cut in half. Gallade stumbled backwards, and Giovanni outstretch his right arm, deactivated his Lightsaber and gripped the air. Gallade immediately raised several feet off the floor and began to make hacking noises. He gripped at his throat in vain trying to loosen the invisible hand that gripped it.
Giovanni spoke, “It is a shame you had to get in my way Gallade. I actually have no quarrel with you tonight. My target is the Lucario Jedi you and your fellows are protecting. Unfortunately, you chose to stand against me. I shall then make an example of you for all who challenge me to see!”
The Gallade struggled for air, calling upon all of his strength, but Giovanni just tightened his invisible hold and Gallade could feel his neck about to crack, straining under the pressure. He reached out with the Force to grab his remaining Lightsaber off the floor. It began to roll towards him, but Giovanni intercepted it, he used his free hand to use the Force to pull it towards him, where he slashed it in half. Weaponless, and quickly dying, Gallade was growing desperate. He reached for his Pokémon roots, hoping for something anything. Suddenly he found something. A move he never knew he had learned. Since becoming a Jedi, being a Pokémon was something of a secondary nature. He reached deep and concentrated on the move
“Teleport!” he thought to himself
The Gallade suddenly vanished. When he woke up, he was in one the closets, somewhere on the ship. He got up on his feet and felt around the dark for a door. He found one and slowly opened it, unsure on what e would find on the other side. When the door was open enough to see through, he saw he was in the Mess; there was one other creature there. Suddenly the ship shook again this one the most violent yet. A computerized female voice echoed in the Mess.
“External hull damage has caused several gas leaks in the Mess. Suggest immediate evacu-“
The mess then engulfed in flames as the entire room, already filled with gas ignited. The Gallade looked up and saw something big fall from the ceiling. He didn’t have a chance to avoid it and turned around in time for the object and hit him in the back of the head. He got his bell rung, but quickly recovered. Suddenly he realized there was no time and he gave himself a burst of speed and raised an invisible shield around him with the Force. He darted from the room to safety. He was unsure what happened to the other creature in the Mess, but he did not see him or her escape. More importantly though, after the shock of surviving wore off, he looked around and realized…he remembered, he remembered everything. His memory had come back, and more importantly, he had work to do. The Gallade ran off into the shadows.
Back in the Control Room, the explosion rumbled the floors and walls, though no one knew what had truly happened. Giovanni looked around, trying to find out where the Gallade had gone, but to no avail. He shrugged to himself and deactivated his other Lightsaber. He reattached the two hilts and stowed his Lightsaber. His target was the protected Lucario; he still had his own mission to attend to. Giovanni hopped onto a rafter with a Force assisted jump and surveyed the scene below him. The first thing he saw was his Sith were losing their respective battles. The male Jedi had somehow disarmed his opponent, and his Lightsaber lay in several pieces on the ground. The Sith had resorted to using Force based techniques and attacks to try and stave off the Jedi attacker. The male Jedi however was deflecting the Sith’s Force Lighting attacks, and avoiding Dark Side telekinetic bursts, slowly making his way to the Sith who was backing up, clearly on the defensive. Nearby, separated by some control panels, the female Jedi had had been reduced to only one opponent, where had the other Sith gone, and held the other one at bay with ease as she parried each attack and forced him back. Finally he looked at his target, the Lucario. Lucario was still protected by that barrier, one that Giovanni knew all too well. However what was interesting was that the barrier was completely surrounded by the Empire. It seemed that they too had taken and interest in killing the Lucario. The Empire had more creative way to get its way, and they were clearly waiting for something. Giovanni turned his arm over and pressed a button on his wrist. The two reaming Sith below immediately stopped fighting their respective Jedi opponents and quickly made their escape. The male and female Jedi were left standing, bewildered at their opponent’s sudden departure. They decided to return to Lucario and make sure he was safe. Giovanni watched silently from the rafters deciding to play it safe and see how things played out. If an opportunity to kill Lucario arose, he would take it.
Back in the far side of the Control Room, another battle raged on. Darth Pikachu swung his Lightsaber at Pokémon Hunter J in a downward forward arc followed by an upward slash and was surprised to see her sword and shield easily block his melee attacks. Whatever that blue glow was, it was powerful enough to stop his red blade. Pokémon Hunter J stabbed forward with her sword. Darth Pikachu jumped backward, arching over and landing on his feet. He raised his arm and outstretched his black gloved hand. A torrent of lightning burst forward aimed at Pokémon Hunter J. The woman pressed a button on her shoulder with the hand she gripped the pistol in and had the shield attached to. A thin rod raised from her back and drew the lighting towards it. The rod channeled the destructive energy to the ground where it dissipated and disappeared. Furious that his attacks were failing, Darth Pikachu thrust his arm forward and threw a telekinetic burst at the Pokémon Hunter. The woman responded by clicking her heels together. The humm-clunk echoed as her shoes magnetically attached to the ground. The Force energy washed over her like wind, but did not falter her stance. She raised her left hand with the shield facing upwards and fired her blaster pistol four time times. Darth Pikachu easily deflected every shot who in turn hit the bulkhead or the floor and left black carbon marks. J shifted tactics and raised her right arm, the one that held the sword, attached at the wrist was a cannon like gadget. She tightened her grip and a brown projectile hurtled toward Darth Pikachu. Darth Pikachu jumped to avoid it, but it caught his cape, and suddenly a medium sized portion of his cape had been encased in a brown stone like substance. Darth Pikachu slashed his Lightsaber at his one cloak to remove the damaged piece. At the same time, Pokémon Hunter J shifted her stance and deactivated the magnetic grip on her boots. She charged Darth Pikachu again slashing to the left and right. The instant her next strike would connect, Darth Pikachu twisted his wrist, so as to block her sword as it came down on his right. He then turned and grabbed her arm that held the sword and squeezed. His grip, enhanced by the Force cause Pokémon Hunter J to shriek in pain and drop her sword. Darth Pikachu then used the Force to increase his strength and threw the woman to the left. She slammed into the equipment and fell to the ground on her side. She moaned in pain. Darth Pikachu extended his free hand and lifted the woman off the ground. He righted her in mid-air and consciously floated her closer to him. He put her at eye level and spoke.
“You are truly a worthy opponent, Pokémon Hunter J. Your talents would very much aid the Empire. However, you have shown yourself to be far too independent and rebellious for our needs, and you are not so special as to warrant me sparing your life. Perhaps I shall even mount your head on my wall, so as to show everyone what I do to those who oppose me. So Pokémon Hunter J, any last words?”
The woman, still invisibly held in mid-air smiled, “Pokeball go,” She said.
It took a moment for the words to hit Darth Pikachu, and that was a moment too much. Pokémon Hunter J had grabbed a Pokeball from her belt and tossed it at Darth Pikachu. Darth Pikachu lost his concentration and the Pokémon Hunter fell to the ground, he slashed at the Pokeball frantically and missed, the ball hit him in the chest and opened up. Darth Pikachu felt his body being converted to energy, and felt himself being pulled into the Pokémon capture device. A moment later he was inside the Pokeball. His Lightsaber lay besides the spherical device. Darth Pikachu struggled to free himself. The Pokeball wiggled to the left and right, a representation of his struggles, flashing red as the Pokeball’s automatic subduing mechanisms were activating. Darth Pikachu struggled, but he was too weary from the fight, the Pokeball stopped moving and finished with a click.
Pokémon Hunter J recovered herself and stood up. She walked over to the Pokeball that now sat motionless on the ground, and could not help for to giggle with joy and glee at her achievement. Capturing Darth Pikachu alive was worth tenfold then dead. She reached down and picked up the Pokeball, she looked at it for a moment, then stowed it away. She also picked up Darth Pikachu’s Lightsaber and clipped it to her belt, two trophies for her victory. Suddenly without warning, the ship violently shook again. This time the damage was clearly nearby. Pokémon Hunter J decided a hasty retreat was needed. At that moment however, the wall next to her blew open. The force of the explosion, knocked her to the ground, and sent the Pokeball on her belt, the one that contained Darth Pikachu to roll away. Her face changed to desperation, and she hurried after the device, which was rolling away with increasing speed. When she caught up to it, she picked it up again, and dusted it off. The floor beneath her creaked, the metal strained, and the control room violently shook again. Pokemon Hunter J looked down and watched the explosion come upwards from the floor and engulf her. The charred body of the once great Pokemon Hunter fell to the ground, and her prize, a Pokeball containing Darth Pikachu rolled away.
“Warning hull damage has caused multiple decompressions throughout the Control Room recommend immediate evacuation,” echoed a computerized female voice.
The Control Room shook again as more explosions rocked it. The male and female Jedi returned to find their comrade Lucario surrounded still by the barrier, but also by the Empire. They stopped in their tracks, unsure what to do, and hoping the barrier would hold.
Giovanni continued to watch from above, it was then he spotted something odd, a woman standing by a control panel a ways away. She seemed focused on the Lucario in the center of the room. Another explosion, this one larger than the last, rocked the Control Room, The woman whose intent lied with the Lucario stumbled, and the barrier flickered. Giovanni understood now that this woman was creating the barrier. He toyed with the idea of killing her, but saw he did not need to; the last explosion loosened a large metal plate above the woman’s head. The plate fell directly on top of and smashed the woman’s frail frame. The woman entire body was crushed under its weight. The instant she fell, the barrier on the Lucario fell as well. The Lucario must have sensed this because he was already beginning to back flip away as the barrier fell. He landed several meter away from the circle of Imperial troops and ignited his Lightsaber, a bronze colored blade with a snap-hiss.
The Emperor stepped forward and laughed, “So Lucario, we finally get to meet.” He turned to one of his subordinates and added, “I sense Darth Pikachu is in trouble, go find him, and bring him back to us.”
The Imperial ran off in the direction Darth Pikachu had gone. At the same time the Emperor cackled with laugher, “I have waited a long time for this moment,” his voice lowered and a serious tone took it, “my Pokémon friend.”
Lucario lunged at the Emperor, Lightsaber cocked over his head for the slash. However the Emperor saw the attack and quickly raised his hand, letting out a burst of purple lightning. The attack hit the Lucario square in the chest as the Emperor used the same hand to invisibly grip the Lucario, still being shocked by electricity, and throw him to the left against the wall. The Lucario’s head hit the wall, and he fell to the ground. The Emperor turned and faced his Pokémon foe, who was struggling on his arms to push himself upright.
“You cannot hope to defeat me. This galaxy belongs to me, and I won’t let a Jedi, especially a Pokémon Jedi stop me.”
The Imperial who was left to find Darth Pikachu returned. In his possession was the Pokeball, he bowed before the Emperor.
“My lord, Lord Pikachu was nowhere to be found. There were the charred remains of a woman, and this,” he held up the Pokeball.
The Emperor grabbed the Pokeball and dropped it. Darth Pikachu exploded out of the Pokeball in a flash of white and red energy. He looked around, realizing his surrounding had changed. He saw the Emperor and quickly turned and bowed.
“My Master, I was ambushed by Pokémon Hunter J. I failed to defeat her.”
The Emperor regarded Darth Pikachu for a moment, and then responded, “You are a fool, Darth Pikachu. You have let your confidence blind you, and allowed yourself to be captured by that woman. Use your anger and redeem yourself in my eyes. Kill that Lucario Jedi and prove your loyalty to me!”
Darth Pikachu’s gave shifted away for a moment, “I have lost my Lightsaber, my Master.”
The Emperor sneered, “Your problems are your own, and are of no concern to me. You may build a new one after we you have defeated this Jedi Pokémon scum!
“Yes, my Master.”
Darth Pikachu rose and turned to face the Lucario who had finally managed to get himself up. He was joined by the other two Jedi, the male and female Jedi from before.
The Lucario picked his Lightsaber back up and ignited it with a snap-hiss. Then he deactivated it just as quickly, and threw it to the ground.
He looked around for a moment then spoke, “I remember.”
He spoke louder, “I….Remember!”
He exclaimed, “I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!”
Lucario looked to his left and thrust his arm forward. He let loose a Force blast that threw the male Jedi back against the wall with enough power to dent the metal bulkhead. Immediately turning to his right, the Lucario faced his female comrade and lifted her off the ground with the Force and threw her backwards until she too hit the wall. He turned back to Darth Pikachu and the Emperor
“I am not Lucario….this…shell, this form, this mask, it no longer serves me.”
With that defiant statement, Lucario’s entire body turned to a blindly white light. The light expanded forward and covered the room. When it faded, Lucario was gone. In it’s pace stood an abnormally tall man. He had a black cloak, a bald head, and a face scarred beyond recognition. The most prominent of these scars being an ‘X’ across his face. His black cloak and cape each had a red ‘X’ sewn to the front and back.
The not-Lucario spoke, his voice now low and horse, “I am the Dark Lord, Mr. X and I shall have my revenge!”
Mr. X put his arms behind his back, under his cloak and pulled out two ‘X’ shaped silver weapons. Any uncertainty of what they were vanished instantaneously when he ignited eight red Lightsaber blades in a loud echoing snap-hiss.
Mr. X began to spin his two blades extremely fast and began closing in on Darth Pikachu. However the might of the Empire would not be challenged so easily.
Darth Pikachu raised his arm, pointing at Mr. X, “Imperials, fire at will!”
The other Imperials obeyed and a flurry of laser bolts singed the air. Mr. X easily deflected all the blasts in random directions, but was too distracted too see Darth Pikachu running at him. Mr. X spotted him at the last moment and twisted, throwing his left quad-Lightsaber at the oncoming Dark Lord. Darth Pikachu reached out with the Force and grabbed the spinning blades. He drew the hilt to his outstretched arm and grasped the weapon himself, much to Mr. X’s surprise. Darth Pikachu did a three-sixty degree turn, using the momentum of the turn to add to his strength and come down on Mr. X’s left shoulder blade, severing the entire arm from his body. Mr. X screamed in pain and rushed Darth Pikachu, his blade slashing wildly. Mr. X was now ignoring the laser blasts from the other Imperials which were now hitting their target relentlessly. When he came upon Darth Pikachu, he slashed downwards, and their blades both locked upon one another. Mr. X then shifted the direction of his blade, spinning upwards from the locked position. Darth Pikachu jumped back to avoid the attack, but only managed to avoid three blades, the fourth one sliced directly along Darth Pikachu’s right wrist and severed his arm. The hand fell to the ground and revealed itself to be a robotic prosthetic. The ‘X’ Lightsaber in the hand was flung off and hurtled into the shadows. Darth Pikachu roared in pain and anger, and gave himself fully to the Dark Side. He reached out with stump and gripped Mr. X. He pulled X toward him at a great speed, and then punched him in the chest with a Force enhanced punch. Mr. X flew backwards, but before he could hit the wall, Darth Pikachu reached out again and grabbed the dark one in mid-air, whiplashing his neck backwards with the change in inertial. Darth Pikachu threw Mr. X against the bulkhead and dragged him along the floor, rubbing him against the metal plates. Finally Darth Pikachu gestured upwards and Mr. X hit the ceiling and fell back to the ground, barely moving. Darth Pikachu however was not done yet. He walked up to Mr. X’s crumpled body and outstretched his stump hand, repeating words he had not said in years.
“PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKAAAAAAAA CHUUUUUUUUUU!”
A mighty Force induced Thunder attack ripped forward from his stump and electrocuted the fallen Dark Jedi. The lighting started yellow, then changed to blue, then changed to white with the white hot intensity of power being extruded. Mr. X was convulsing as with untold amounts of voltages coursed through his body. Darth Pikachu then raised his other hand and screamed with rage as he doubled the attack, letting loose lightning from each hand. The assault lasted only a few seconds, but the remains of Mr. X were simply the charred outlines of something bipedal.
Darth Pikachu fell to his knees, exhausted from the battle. The Emperor approached him.
“Very good, my apprentice, you have proven your worth to me. Our job is finished here, and I sense this area of the ship does not have long.”
The Control Room shook again, and suddenly explosions erupted all over. The Empire quickly took their leave, escaping the room. The male and female Jedi were nowhere to be seen. At some point during the fight, they had limped away, but they too were needed to escape. Within minutes the Control Room imploded in on itself and was destroyed.
In the Engine Room, a man walked in. This was his favorite spot, and he had something he planned on doing. However before he took more then five steps a barrier enveloped him and prevented him from advancing any farther. Frustrated at failure, he sat down to wait out the night. He would be unable to sleep however. He could have sworn he saw Emperor Palpatine looking at him, trying to figure out how to get to him. However that might have been just the wind and the shadows playing tricks on him. In the shadows, a man waited for a target that never came.
In the laboratory, a woman was by the ventilation shafts with a camera. She thought she was alone in the room. That is until someone came in, seemingly much too late to do anything during the night. She never saw him again, perhaps he went and hid.
The night was a busy one, and brought with it several surprises no one expected. When the inhabitants of the ship awoke the next morning, they first discovered that they could no longer meet in the mess. It was completely and utterly destroyed and would no longer be assessable as a room for roles, for the rest of the game, by anyone. Among the wreckage of the mess was the charred remains of a wookie. They body was identified as Akane. She had been killed by the explosions in the Mess.
Upon further inspection of the ship, it was revealed that the Control Room was also no longer be assessable as a room for roles, for the rest of the game, by anyone. It had imploded to the point that no one could even enter it. However there was enough space to see three dead bodies. Dave628, DarthPika and Pikamaster were all dead. However the town only mourned for one.
The night had in some sense been a victory for the Rebellion….but it had been more of a victory for the Empire, who was still doing extremely well at avoiding detection. The town was running low on options. If they were going to survive, something would have to be done soon. The ship now only had four (4) accessible rooms with the Control Room and the Mess destroyed. Also Sandslash7 had severe burns on him, and PokeChampofPokeBeach had a strange tattoo across his right forearm.
The tattoo looked like this: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/Absoltrainer/Untitled-2.jpg
The Commlink strangely enough was nowhere to be seen. The inhabitants of the Imperial Glory
now met in the hanger to discuss whom to lynch next.

EVERY PLAYER MUST POST DURING THIS GAME DAY!!
-I will be marking a list off every time a person makes their first post of the game day. You are only required to post once, but you MUST post once to avoid punishment. If for some reason, you are unable to post (as in a legitimate reasons, school work, out of town, personal stuff, etc) let me know and I’ll make the necessary post, or simply make that your one post of the game day.
Day 6 begins
Good luck.
