A close Shave

Home sweet home... I had returned with Shiara to the Excalibur.
since she has remained in the form of a cat when others are around, no on knows she is a shape shifting alien girl. Durena has mention how Shiara follows me everywhere. My little thief friend has always been quite observant. Of course Matthew took cue and began asking me if it was a spell or a piece of tuna tucked in my cloak.

Our search for a cure of the Drakh Plague still continues. After checking on the progress on board I took my ship and went to see how Vir is doing with his little rebellion on Centuri Prime. Ever since we made him aware of the secret Drakh occupation on his planet, he has been organizing ways to save Centuri.

He doesn't wish to include outsiders for fear the Alliance might finish Centuri off to get to the Drakh. With the dark past we Technomages have, I can't say i blame him. If those I called friends on board the Excalibur ever got word that the tech we use is handed down from the shadows and that our Ancestors, the technomages before us when my order was first founded were destined to be the Shadows elite army, I am not sure how they would react.

It doesn't matter that my order didn't become followers of the Shadows or that we who are a part of that order now were deceived. What would matter is the current hate and distrust of the Shadows. So I remain silent but of course Silence is one of the seven principles of our order.

After checking in with Vir I decided to return to the time frame of this Death Machine. Besides I think Shiara wants to see Justice again although she has made mention of a boy. *sigh* Young Love.

We found the Terminatrix quite quickly. I was observing her when she just laid down in the middle of an alley and went to sleep.

"What ever she is doing it isn't technical." Shiara whispered

I had Shiara in my arms, "Your technopathy can interface with her? Can it access her programs?" I had purged some of her memories and programs to have a look but it was nearly impossible because of the TX's sophistication.

She whispered up at me, "Just a vague sense. It's going to take me a long time to interface with her. She is nothing like I have seen,"She paused, "What ever she is doing, it seems biological... Mental."

"You mean Telepathic?" I asked and then She hissed
"What is it Shiara?" I asked and she jumped down transforming into a white tiger

"Shiara?" I asked again

She never took her eyes off well nothing, Shiara was staring at nothing,

Shiara finally spoke as she turned into herself, "Galen cloak yourself. There is something here. My skin can sense it, I can sense it."

Her tattoos moved under her skin surfacing like small dragons... Twisting and swirling around her skin on her clothing changing the appearance of her clothing to armor. Two of the dragons shot out from her hand and formed two black short swords with the glyphs in emerald green and a dragon head forming the hilt. It was an effect I admired to watch. Pity she wasn't a technomage, she would make a fine one. She pointed her weapons at ........ Nothing.


I spoke to the nothing, after all we knew that Shadows could be there and never be seen. Though they had gone in my time, in this time they may still be present.

" Whomever you are show yourself." I was mentally preparing a spell for a fireball, just in case.

This thing appeared, and spoke, "You should be terminated"

Shiara stepped inbetween us and it spoke to her and she fell a sleep. It stepped forward

I began to realize that this was the Death Machine which I had been watching.

She spoke directly at me, "I am too powerful, as Dreamweaver I can control your mind through your dreams and turn them into nightmares. As the terminatrix I can control your technology. I am called Sky. You will now identify yourself and where you are from."

I was not about to allow this thing, woman, machine or whatever get the best of me

I conjured Shadow skin.

It stepped forward and I was preparing my most powerful spell but as it did the Tech screamed.. I was shocked it was almost like a shadow scream but lower fainter

It hesitated. It had to retreat.

As Sky screamed, "wake" I used the opportunity to grab Shiara and leave.

On My ship I woke Shiara, "That was close. A little too close." Though my spell of destruction who have ended Sky I am sure, I couldn't be sure she wouldn't put me to sleep before I could conjure it.

"You beat her?" Shiara asked me

"No, something about me scared her. " I said

"Galen? You looked worried," She asked

"Of course, Only a fool wouldn't be. I mean what could have scared a nightmarish thing like her." I knew the answer. It is a part of me. All Technomages, we have to accept that... but still it is a troublesome thought.

I sent Shiara to spend some time with her friend and do some spying for me. We need more info on this Sky.

introducing myself

Continued from here

"Aw you know what I am?" he stated to me

"Surprised?" I asked him

he looked at the books and the still laughing shrunken heads and nodded, "No not really, however I am curious who taught you?"

I leaned against my table, "Self educated for the most part. I am not what you think I am."

"Oh really and what do I think you are?" He inquired.

"I am not a technomage, nor do I have the tech symbiont." I stated flatly and he did a quick look toward Justice.

"Oh don't mind me I am just sitting her being ignored." She said looking at Ker and Norn.

I smiled at my new friend and then turned to the cloaked man, "My father was Galileo."

"Galileo???" He looked surprised.

"You knew him?" I sat up

"I knew of him, but he disappeared never to be heard of again." the cloaked man's interest had been peaked

"One of his spells had an unusual and unanticipated effect yes. Namely he was sent back in time with no way of returning to his right time. Not wanting to disrupt Human history he found a small backwater planet that was uninhabited and settled there. Though he did explore some. After all it was his dream , ' HC SVNT DRACONES'." I shrugged said

He sighed and added " Yes I did hear he was an explorer at heart, liked old maps, wanted to go into space where today it would be written .."

"HC SVNT DRACONES... here be dragons." we said it together.

I then smiled, "Well then he found them... After a fashion.... Of course we really aren't dragons just look it when we are in our true form. "

I then gave a quick description of what Firewalkers were...

"So you were your father's apprentice." He was full of questions about me...

"Yeah I suppose, He and my mother died when I was 5. I had a head injury, amnesia and they said if my memories did return being so young I would have forgotten them. I remember bits and pieces... Playing in his red robe with gold trim and falling trashing his work place. Him standing over me tapping his foot with his arms cross. He always sung me to sleep about this ant and rubber tree plant." I paused, " and he would conjured holo-demons and play fight with them. After he would tell me the only monsters in my room were the ones he conjured and they were there to protect me and nothing more. Mostly I have his hand written in Latin journals that have help guide me."

"You used it to teach yourself Technomancy?" again with his inquiries...

"The Tech becomes a part of the technomage. Organic technology that integrates itself to the very being of a human. The programs of the tech is genetically passed. My father was genetically a 5th generation technomage. One of the few since most Mages will take orphans as their apprentice. So few technomages are born offspring from technomages, but the few who are inherit the tech's programs from their technomage parent. It is then compounded when that child becomes a technomage and gets thier tech. With each generation the programs become stronger more viable until eventually they are dominate enough to be active. Nature then attempts to decipher this code the best it can. The result is someone like me is born, a Technopath." I explained and then looked at him, "And you oh nameless one were either of your parents..."

"Both actually," He interrupted me but the look on his face was that of a man deep in his thoughts

"Well then examine your DNA and you will find what I am saying to be true." I sighed and smiled, "I serve now as a familiar."

"Familiar?" that seem to snap him out of his thought

"Like my mother." I smiled...


Justice cleared her throat, "still here still being ignored. and did you miss that she called you the nameless one. Hint Hint"

He smirked, "I am called Galen."

A strange visitor

Continued from here




I was having a nice stroll When my skin could sense something different and new, 3 actually. I was sensing 3 lifeforms. I changed into a bird and flew in the direction... There in the middle of my forest was a girl and two other creatures. She seemed dazed...


I decided to approach her. I flew down and took my natural humanoid form...
Justice

She drew her hands... I could sense she was a magic user and powerful and different...

"HI." I said trying not to alarm her anymore

She stood, "You're a Elf?"

"No, though I am mistaken for one quite often. " She seemed calmer.

"Then what are you?" She asked

"Well some call us Firewalkers. My name is Shiara." I stretched out my hand

"Justice Angelica Briefs. Its nice to meet you." She said

I laughed, "What a mouthful."

Justice joined in my laugh and then pointed her companions, "This is Ker and Norn."

She looked to be just younger than me... Well er.... I mean physically. I smiled again, "how did you get here? I didn't see a ship."

"I was investigating this stranger and a time shift. Norn pressed the wrong button on my Granny's device and we ended up here..... By the way where is here?"

"This is New Earth.. you said time shift... what year do you think it is?" I was analyzing her device with my Technopathy.

"2007, why what years is it?" She mumbled

"2267 and your lucky you popped up here. Earth is quarantined. Plague... From what I can see you were going to Earth but someone intervened and you were randomly shot here." I shrugged...

"How did you..." Justice walked toward me

I answered, "I am a Technopath." I turned and pointed to where my lake was, "You want to come to my house?"

Ker smiled, "Please I could use a cup of tea." Justice then nodded and Norn gurggled

We walked through my meadow to my small cottage standing next to my lake and my willow tree.

As we walked in Justice looked around at the cozy fire, my old spinning wheel, the Cauldron, crystal ball and my table cluttered with herbs and circuits. Her eyes got huge at the walls of books and at Book of shadows sitting of to the side alone on it's own stand by my table...

"Oh my you're a witch." Justice seemed to be asking but before I could answer.

Shrunken heads hanging over my work station spoke, "She wishes."

the three stooges then laughed.... "Don't mind them, I have never been able to get personality programs to work."

Justice looked like Alice in wonderland, "They are.. are.."

"Nano-friends... They keep me company. To answer your question I am not a witch, I am a familiar, currently looking for a worthy master." I smiled

"Master, how awful Slavery is wrong.." Justice straightened up..

"Its not Slavery... it's a calling hard to explain.." I offered her a chair...

"What about your parents?" She asked thoughtfully

"Dead... They died 2387 years ago." I lowered my head..

"What??? 2..2...23" She stuttered

"They died when I was 5." I stated.

She shook her head, "that would make you 2392 years old but You look 16 .."

I nodded, "yes my species don't die from old age we just start over... at about 12 Earth years. I am in my 3rd life cycle. "


"WOW" was all she could say...

"So why was Norn pushing buttons, that could have been dangerous." I inquired

"He was scared some Corru bounty-hunter's came in to where we were." She seemed worried so I decided to ease her mind

"Don't worry my house is isolated I don't get any surprises here" As soon as I said it, my skin felt a powerful vibration and my technopathy tingled

a voice spoke, "Surprise? you mean like finding a technowitch in the middle of the forest?"

So 'curiosity killed the cat'



I suppose it's a good thing I am not a cat then...

I entered the room, keeping to the shadows. In this place, it's an easy task really...
Sitting toward the back of the bar, I just looked around... Well, there isn't much else for me to do at this point...



It was curiosity that brought me from the 23rd century to this bloggerverse...


"Whacha poison?"




"Poison?" I leaned over the bar...






"you want a drink?"







"What would you suggest? What is good here?" I inquire...





"Suggest? To leave and go to another bar. Look around pal, this bar isn't for the good. It's where the criminals hang out. You know.. the bad guys... Although a few heroes do come and go."






"I see... and which am I?" I grin





"Your asking me?"







"Why not?" I tilted my head and waited while he pondered a minute...








"Don't you know? I mean surely you have some opinion .."





"Never... have an opinion that is, to restrictive..." I pointed at a bottle of dark red wine and conjured an antique goblet..






"A magic user... figures.... " He poured the wine in my cup and turned to put the bottle away, "just do yourself a favor pal and keep...."




He turned to find me gone... Not good to let a conversation carry on too long... Well it is time for me to go but though 'curiosity may have killed the cat'





'satisfaction brought it back'

What my investigations have brought up.

I was busy investigating , so When I come back I find The kids fighting SHIELD. Then Shang Chi Comes after me, and I know there is no way I can beat him with just my skills. So I ended up trading with Gohan who was fighting the Sentry.


He humored me knocked out Shang, and tried to return to battle the Sentry. But he was already beaten. You see he's afraid to go out of the house. Iron man , and others have to coax the man out with stale platitudes.


I think I messed up all of their work with telling him all the dangers of being outside that I could think of off the top of my head, that's about a few hundred.So After I leave Sentry a quivering heap, I have to listen to Batgirl talk about registering.


Yes that's a good idea. SHIELD is only the third most corrupt organization on the planet. I really want to see these kids used for weapons of whatever special interest is paying the government this week. I know it's hard to translate in print but that was sarcasm.

Luckily we all talked her out of it. Then came all the teenage drama of the breakup between Vincent and Batgirl. I'm not sad to say I made a little money off that. You see Green Arrow bet me that his kid would would win her by the end of the week. I bet that She'd be back with the Prince in under 24 hours. I won. Taking money from Oliver is one of the highlights of my life.



Any way my search for truth found two interesting things. First I've found Spoiler's mother, but I don't want to tell her because Stephanie's return from the dead had caused her mother to have a nervous break down. I have personally talked to her, and tried to assure her that her daughter does indeed live, and is not an impostor. For the time being, I think Steph shouldn't see her until she's more mentally healthy.


The second thing I found out is a certain pink haired "hero" is a fraud. No not Gaia. She's about as sincere as a construct made by aloof uncaring gods can be. No. Who I'm talking about is the Erin the insurance whore.


We all thought her shilling for an insurance company was a little eccentric ( Heh. I'm one to talk.) But it turns out she endangers people by faking monster attacks, alien invasions, and villain fights. She "defeats" these menaces, then babbles on about car insurance with her mentally disturbed partner.

Her endangering of people can not go on. Soon she will answer to the Question.

My enemies defeated.

I beat the kids that used to call themselves "Legacy." And then I had the two that would end up parenting those little bastards that defeated me. Then a deep voice booms from no where! " Seriously Black Zero you didn't know I would sense your Ki the moment you reappeared?I followed you here to kill you!"

" Well Well If it isn't my "Nephew"!" I laugh.

" You psycho! Your not Uncle Conner ! You killed Uncle Conner ! Not in a metaphorical Darth Vader killed Anakin Skywalker kinda way either. You really don't remember do you? You murdered Him as he tried to stop you! But you what the weird thing is? After you left he came back. Heh! I guess it just gos with the name Superman huh?" Bruce Briefs. I should kill Vincent , and Batgirl in front of him.

What the hell Is Bruce babbling back? I didn't kill Kon I am Kon! It doesn't matter. Once I kill his parents He'll Blink out of existence.

" Say good bye to life!" I shout. But he stands there smugly.


" Go ahead it won't affect me How did Uncle Mirai explain it? Oh yeah. Once you go back in time you don't actually change what happened. You create anew timeline. Besides Gramps Vegeta would just wish them back any way. "


He must body read that I was squeezing His parents' necks since he blasted me in the face I dropped them, he was on me in a second. He transformed into a ss4 and beat me with his skills he knew what I was going to do before I did it, and he he hurt me when i tried to fight back.

When I'm down he looks over to Vincent. Who's knocked out. " So Pop This is the first time I actually get to see you, and your younger than I am. time travel weird huh? Maybe we'll get to talk after I'm done learning all I can from grandpa David. And mom she's so much shorter. Heh. "



Fool he should have been watching me. oi hit him with one of my Favorite weapons the Hyperbullett. Which sends him into Hypertime, The Space between time and dimensions. Wait Hypertime... I remember.


I am a clone of Superman , and Lex Luthor, but in my reality I was grown to maturity. I tried to save clones all through out the Multiverse. I ended up conquering worlds. Then an another universe version of me defeated from taking over this particular reality. And he's kept defeating over and over again, The one that calls himself "Conner Kent."


Our last battle he ended up shunting into the alternate future, my mind blurred I believed I was him. As I feel a sense of satisfaction for ridding my self of Bruce Briefs "Kon-El" shows up.


" Dude. This is our last battle!" He challenges.

I smile. " Yes it is Superboy. This time I'll get you out of my hair forever !"
