In her Black Tower, the Lady stands upon her highest balcony, eyes closed as if asleep. She communes to the Dark Powers that empower and torment her, listening carefully to their warnings.
Then, as the gloomy winds of dusk die down, the Lady's eyes open.
So. Another seeks his fortune in Ravenloft. And the Dark Powers keep their own counsel. Perhaps...
Hm. But first, let us see if he is worthy of what he seeks. Let us see just what this one can do.
So said, the Lady close her eyes once more. This time, instead of looking inwards, she extends her thoughts outwards, toward the boundaries of mist that shrouds Ravenloft. A slight prickling sensation alerts her to the incoming teleportation of the newcomer.
Upon identifying the interloper, the Lady gathers her Will and deftly redirects the teleportation. Redirects it to somewhere else in Ravenloft... somewhere far away... somewhere the intruder will soon find himself facing the darkness that is Ravenloft.>

And yet another potential threat succumbs to the lure of Ravenloft, thus clearing yet another obstacle to my plans. Excellent
The Meddler, of course, was quick to disengage his senses before Deviljon actually departed for the dreaded plane. He doubted that merely looking into it would be enough to ensnare him, but he wasn't one to tempt fate. Instead he turned his attention to a nearby viewscreen.
Lothos, patch into the feed from the T-800 unit dispatched to Ravenloft. Let's see if his situation has changed.
The screen displayed a scene devoid of anything but grey mist. The operating status data broadcast by its transdimensional transciever indicated that it was still functioning at normal capacity, but it was still lost within the clutches of Ravenloft.
Damn. What the hell's happening to it? Oh well, at least it accomplished its mission and provided some useful data. It seems I must rely on Cheeks to be my primary agent at that locale. Oh well, onto to other matters.

As the maddened crowds thronged around the quantum charged monstrosity that was Manuel, the roar of their crazed chanting was drowned out by a new sound, that of retro-rockets firing and and metal masses meeting concrete.
Large, bulky figures started marching toward the insane abberant, determined to put an end to his depredations. The metal giants were Mecha, recently sold to the Japanese Government by a shadowy arms cartel only known as The Arsenal. The men inside were soldiers of the Japanese Defense Force, who had undergone extensive training to be able to operate it expertly. As they strode toward the monster that threatened their city they initiated numerous weapons locks on the creature, their minds insulated from his sanity-shattering influence by neuro-shielding systems.
Then, reaching optimum range scad seconds after their arrival, they let loose their vast array of precise destruction. Bright beams of laser light lanced out to burn him, while swarms of mini-missiles delivered their payloads. The screech of focused ultrasonic blasts filled the air, harmonizing with the supersonic whine of metal slivers launched by electromagnetic accelerators. From all directions, the instruments of death were all focused on one target; the abberant that was Manuel.
And in a secret underground lair an ocean away, one man sat watching to see how the events he set in motion played out. If the JDF succeeded, then he would be rid of a dangerous and unpredictable variable. If they failed, then he would at least have gained valuable information on the creature's capabilities and weaknesses, and The Arsenal would make more money selling the Japanese new weaponry to deal with the problem. No matter what, he would profit from the situation.

The man seems to be recording some kind of a log entry:
[Begin log]
Ha, what fools these louts be. Shadowstalker is nobody's thrall. These other fools, so easily betrayed by their emotional minds, are nothing compared to me, and now that I've learned more of potential of this strange world, I have little need of them. The sorceress, whom I followed here to escape the destruction of Oblivion, is the only notable threat to my rise in power here. She, however, seems to be as much a slave to her sexuality as these others. A mind bothered with such distractions cannot hope to compete with one so focused as I. Still, she is a worthy adversary. I must find a way to deal with her. But first, there is the issue of fighting Lengthy, who Tanith has ordered me to face. The shadows are mine, and this world... has plenty. [End log] |
The dark figure disappears to the shadows, as if becoming one of them himself.
Lengthy, the challenger wanders somwhere in the mists, when a barrage of flying boulders shoots out from somewhere. Lengthy grunts and turns around, but nobody's there. A stone spear then appears behind Lengthy and impales him.
Invisible, in the shadows, the figure observes as Lengthy's wounds disappear as quickly as they appeared. So that's one of his powers. What are the others? A tingling on the outskirts of Shadowstalker's mind leads him to suspect what one of them just might be. Perhaps, he thinks, there is a better way to handle this than brute strength.
"Who are you to challenge the Lady of this Domain", he speaks out, shifting out of the shadows behind Lengthy.
"You were a fool to reveal yourself", Lengthy says, grinning. "Now, you will serve me."
Shadowstalker feels Lengthy's charm touch his mind, and smiles to himself, his face again covered in shadow. He watches Lengthys facial expression, as it shifts from a smug smile to horror. His opponent falls down, whimpering and holding his head with both hands.
"Who's the fool now?" the dark figure mutters. Knowing that his enemy will soon recover even from this, he concentrates. The very earth around his opponent tears open, swallowing the helpless Lengthy. Cold, lifeless bedrock sucks him in as if it were quicksand.
Then there is nobody there. Only shadows remain.

Shadowstalker began to laugh, knowing that shortly his opponent would be finished and he would have won his Dark Lady's approval, still, the job was not done and there was still one last thing to do..
"Hmm.. the pitiful fool is looking up, trying to make one last stab of defiance no doubt.. well no matter.. I'll simply end him now"
Lengthy looked straight up at Shadowstalker, his face locked in a horrible grimace and.... grinned?
"What else you got?"
"Wha.."
"You really thing I wouldn't prepare? I'm not some stupid two-bit supervillain, I did my research and I found out whjat your powers were, so I knew you'd try the old psychic torture on me... Wha a shame, youy could at least have been a little bit more... inventive... Of course you can't hear this because the molecules of your body ceased to move at the start of this conversation."
"Lets let them go shall we? Oh, but I think we'll leave your brain still and your heart too..."

Invisibly, Shadowstalker kept bombing Lengthy with all sorts of projectiles. After a while, he must've gotten sick of being smashed, and most of the projectiles just froze in midair.
Shadostalker decided that it wouldn't be very smart to get close to this guy, so he commanded the bedrock to open and suck Lengthy in.
Victory by TKO. Don't worry, you'll get out of there eventually.

Shadowstalker: *eyes narrowing in suspicion* ...state your purpose here.
Jigglypuff: *holds marker under mouth like a microphone and starts singing to its new audience* "Jiiiigalyyyy-puff, Jiggaaaally... Jiiiiggaaally..."
Upon hearing its siren song, the Shadowstalker felt as though a drousy clound had been cast upon his mind. His eyes grew heavy with weariness and his body swayed precariously. Intellectually, a small part of his mind screamed in warning, but he could not focus his powers to avoid this threat. With unstable steps, he stumbled back to the window. Below, he could see the dim shape of a lower balcony through the gloomy mists. As the creature sang on, Shadowstalker pulled forth the last of his will and threw himself over the window-ledge. As he fell, he succumbed to the unnatural sleep wrought by the creature's song...
And somewhere in the Black Tower (perhaps in one of the scrying rooms?), the sound of dark laughter could be heard. Meanwhile, outside in the Tower courtyard, a dazed and battered Lengthy finally awakens from unconsciousness. He rises from the ground, grimacing with the bitter knowledge of his defeat... and the price he must pay for it.

Shadowstalker tried to move, but his hands and feet were chained to the dungeon floor. With a passing thought, he ordered the chains to let him go. Good, his powers still seemed to work.
Stalker got up from the cold dungeon floor, oddly not feeling the chill. Actually, he didn't feel any aches, which was very odd considering that he had just fallen off a reasonably tall tower. He ran his hands over his body, but didn't find any bruises. His entire body seemed to be in perfect working condition, yet strangely cold. Shadowstalker felt his wrist for a pulse. There was none.
A temporary setback.
Suddenly the doors to the room Stalker was in swung open.

"Another sservant wakess", the creature hissed. "Follow mee, fledgling."
Shadowstalker considered what the creature had said. As interested as he was in finding out what exactly had happened, he was nobody's servant. While the lich didn't seem to understand his condition, he might bring him to someone who did. No, he thought, it was better to solve this on his own.
The lich stood there, staring at Shadowstalker curiously. "Youu... follow, nnoowww!" it growled. Then it said nothing more, as it's own robes became alive, starting to viciously attack it. Stones flew from the dungeon walls and crushed it's bones. A giant rocky fist rose from the ground, and smashed the lich against the wall, and the undead monster crumbled and fell.
Shadowstalker melded into the dark corner of his cell, and begun to travel the shadows of the dungeon. Watching, learning, thinking.

Then and there he made a decision, he needed her as much as he needed his mistress. How could he possibly choose?! He must have them both! With that resolved he set off to find his master. Maybe he could convince her to allow him to seek out his love. Surely she wouldn't begrudge him that would she? It would afterall, be another minion for her. Yes, it was decided, he would find this Akane. A black aura sprung up around him. It pulsed with every breath he took. The ground underneath cracked and split at the force his aura exerted.

*walking out* Sigh. What is it *this* time, minion?
ChiefD: My fairest Queen, I must seek your leave to depart for a quest! I must search out the beauteous maiden that haunts...
The Lady silently regarded her chief minion. It was not the first time he had relapsed. Previously, it was enough to merely brainwash him again... but this time... this time there might be some advantage to make of this. Yes... There just might be some use for this typically useless underling besides destroying parts of her Tower and arguing with her guests. But first...
Ah. I see. That, again. Very well, you may leave. But first, I require one last service from you.
ChiefD: Whatever my fair lady wishes.
With a flourish of her hands, the Lady reached into the shadow behind her servant. With a sudden yank, she pulled at the very fabric of the darkness. The Chief Defender immediately fell to the ground in searing agony. The Lady ignored her screaming minion and regarded the black material in her hands -- the shadow of her servant, ready to be moulded as she wished. With a negligent flick of her other hand, she dismissed her recovering minion.
That is all. You may depart.... A word of advice, though. Your dreams may find truth *outside* of Ravenloft... if you can reach there. But know this: beware those who would stop you on your journey, and do not hesitate to destroy them. I have put the images of those who are against you in your deepest thoughts. Take heed of them.
So said, she disappeared into the shadows of the corridor with a swish of her robes
ChiefD: *weakly* I thank you, my Queen.
Written by Tanith 04-05-2002 10:20 PM
Gathering her Will, the Lady seized the shadow in her hands and pressed into the crystal, caging it with the blood red depths. Then, with both hands pressed to the crystal, she closed her eyes and tilted back her head as she channeled her Will into the crystal. The smooth surface beneath her hands warmed, and began to glow an angry red, as it received the will of its mistress and began to work on the shadow constrained within. After what seemed like an eternity or a heartbeat, the Lady straightened, and stepped back, her hands trailing from the crystalline surface to fall at her sides.
With a small satisfied smile, she turned from the thrumming crystal to regard the two other occupied crystals in the room. One was totally black, and had shrunk drastically from its original size as it neared the completion of its task. Soon, it will birth a new warrior to stand at its mistress's side, totally loyal to its creator, and weilding the full powers of the being who's shadow it was created from.
The other crystal was dull grey in color, verging on bright chrome. It was roundish in shape, and gave off tantalizing chimes of almost-music as it pulsed. This creation would take longer to complete, since the crystal must work to warp an entire living being, rather than build up from a mere shadow. But once completed, the Lady would finally have a worthy familiar to bide by her side. A familiar both powerful and feared.
With one final glance at the trio of crystal chambers, the Lady turned and walked back up the narrow stairway that led to the single door to the room. As the door closed behind her exit, it shimmered, and then vanished, leaving nothing but bare marble wall behind. Meanwhile, in the darkness of the workroom, three sinister lights thrummed to their own living pulse.

*A holographic image appears before PunRamz's face*
Dark lord - "I have received you're letter, what do want from me Sith?"
PunRamz - "I have a favor to ask of you, send me 3 of you're most powerful warriors and 3 of you're most powerful dragons. And make them obey my every command."
Dark lord - "Hahaha, this 'request' is unacceptable, what would I have to gain...."
PunRamz - "What you would gain from this is the death of 2 of you're most hated adversaries, 2 'thorns' in your side that have grown in strength so much that, even you, the blackest, most powerful in the realm cannot contain."
*silence from the Dark Lord for some time*
Dark lord - "very well sith, I will give you what you ask for.... under one condition of coarse."
PunRamz - "which is?"
Dark lord - "you must make it threw my realm alive. If you do not, you will become an undead ghoul who must endure an eternity of suffering, walking my land feasting on the souls of trespassers."
PunRamz - "..... very well dark one, I will undertake this 'mission' of yours."
*Dark lord’s hologram vanishes while a whisper lingers*
if you succeed, never ask a favor of me again, if you do, you will be destroyed....
*while PunRamz is left alone, with his thoughts*
..........fool, you're underestimation of my power shale be you're downfall......
*PunRamz makes ready for his journey into the mist....*

Deciding it was time he looked in on his agent, The Meddler stepped into the Holographic Imaging Chamber.
Lothos, center me on Cheeks.
The computer complied with his request, and The Meddler found himself surrounded not by the gloomy lanscape of The Temptress' Domain, but the interior of a seedy bar on what appeared to be Earth. Surprised, the Meddler used his powers to ascertain Cheeks location, which confirmed his assessment of his whereabouts.
WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN BROOKLYN! I GAVE YOU DISTINCT INSTRUCTIONS TO STAY WITH THE TEMPTRESS!"
The Meddler then turned and recognized BlackWarMewtwo.
And I see you brought at least one of your collegues back as well. I want an explanation.
Before Cheeks can open his mouth the Meddler interupted him.
But not in front of him. Only you know I'm "here", and that's the way I want it to stay, got that? Don't say yes, just nod.
The Meddler then just stood and watched, waiting to see just what exactly was going on.

*Deviljon hardly feels the impact. The "meteor" which he pulled from the solid bedrock crushes the sorceror's tower like an eggshell. The sorceror had struggled gamely to pummel it with spells, but Deviljon had encased it with all the protection his powers allowed. A howl of rage sounded among the destruction as the sorceror rose from the remains of his citadel, an aura of protection having saved him from the holocaust of stone and coldfire. In his left hand a scroll crumbled to dust, as a gate opened from the Abyss. A creature of nightmare stepped through, wielding a lightning-forked sword and seven-tonged whip. A Balor. The wizard began a new a spell as the demon stalked toward Deviljon. The fool must truly be outraged, thought Deviljon, for surely the demon would turn on the sorceror without a circle of protection. That new spell would never happen however, Deviljon casually stroked the sorceror's mind with his third power, encasing it in Deviljon's machinations. The demon would require attention. Something simple then. The fall. It would do. Deviljon began to battle the demon with all his might as a horrible cry emitted from the mouth of the sorceror then abruptly stopped along with his heart, as in the illusion he hit the inexorable ground which waits in everyone's nightmares. This was no nightmare however, the sorceror never woke up. The demon was fast, it was powerful, it was also quite strong.
The demon was in trouble.*

Yeah! You tell 'im, boss. You don't mess with the boss! He'll moiderize ya! First he'll get you in a headlock like this!
*Grabs BlackwarMewtoo*
And then he'll give you a noogie like this! And then he'll draw "I am a big dumb doo-doo head" in spray paint all over you body like this! And then he'll...er...OWWWW!! There was no call for that! I was just demomonstrating! If you're gonna be like that, I'm taking my toys and goin' home!
*Teleports back to the Temple*
The fools..they would dare attack me? None of them know the might of the creatures found on the ocean floor..intelligent beasts, with a burning hatred for humanity and their wanton ecological destruction. Soon they shall find me, and..
HELLO BIG BROTHER!!!
AIeeee! I'm under attack! TEMPLE! I need a 3" thick titanium shell, mind shields, and a spell of confusion cast on ANY intruders. Then lead them to the center of the temple, and put a one-way see through wall between me and th..Oh. It's you.
Damn. I had a 20 dollar bet riding with StJohn that I could get you to wet yourself if I scared you enough.
**Pouts**
Alright. I know you want something. You only come here if you want something. WHAT IS IT!
Can't a guy come and chat with his big brother? Lemme tell you about my day. Y'know, small talk. First I got into a barfight, then I teleported here, but messed up and ended up in Finland. And I'm a Werewolf today, so I took advantage of my powers and spent all afternoon trying to hump this girls leg, which is what I was gonna do anyway, but this Werewolf thing gave me an excuse. That was way fun.
And THEN I started some fires, which is what I always do on Saturdays, and then I peed on them, and they went out! It was amazing! And I told them I HAVE MAGIC URINE!!! YOU ALL MUST FEAR MY MAGIC URINE!!!! But they threw rocks at me, but that's alright, for THEY WILL SOON FEAR MY MAGIC URINE!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA Especially dumbass who killed my monkeys! It's a big-urine soaked sock full of DEATH for him!!! Oh yes, he will fear my magic urine
I'm delighted..WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!
Fine. Be all sniffy. Why don't you just use the temple to send me to the Ravenloft universe so I can spy on M-tanith (Mmmmm. M-tanith) for the boss, while you're at it!
A fine idea.
And..oh man, dimensional teleport makes...me....queasy.....Waitaminute....this ain't Ravenloft? Wherethehairybutthorsehockey am I?

I have become more powerful, and no one died in making me so. I feel cheated, but I am more powerful, and that's all that matters, when you get down to it.
For the knowledge of everyone around, here are the powers I've gained: Dimension travel, Pokemon summoning, the ability to bring game cards to life, telekinesis, mind shield, and super durability.

"You are at the monthly moot of the Desert Springs Caern, young pup. Who are you and why have you come?"
Just as Cheeks was about to answer a number of bright lights cut through the darkness with a blinding glare from all directions. The sound of a helicopter could be heard overhead, and surrounding them all were ominous figures wearing generic black security armor and armed with what appeared to be machine guns. Some of them appeared to be grotesquely mutated.
"It's Pentex!" the elder exclaimed. "They've found us!"
JJust then the Meddler's Hologram appeared right next to Cheeks, catching up with him from the temple. He looked around at the situation around Cheeks.
Hmmm, you seem to have arrived at the wrong place at the wrong time. See what happens when you play hookie instead of following instructions? You've got no one to blame but yourself for this predicament.
The Meddler the punched a button on his control box and opened the door out of the imaging chamber.
Oh well, I've got other business I have to take care of. I'll check back with you later, and arrange for to you to get back to the Temptress's Domain. Don't worry, I'm sure you can handle all this. I have the upmost confidence in your abilities.
And with that, the Meddler walked through the door and left Cheeks to his fate.

Shadowstalker witnessed the movements of zombies and skeletons attending to their duties in the dungeon, and the studies of liches that, he assumed, worked as wardens of this place.
However, he found no clue as to why he had been brought there.
Shadowstalker expanded his consciousness and traveled further into shadows, spying from underneath beds and from behind doors. He now realized that he was still in Tanith's castle, only this part he had never seen.
His consciousness was drawn to a shadow nearby, from which he could hear noise. Someone was pacing back and forth on a dusty floor. Obviously, he was now deep in Tanith's personal portion of the fortress, and therefore potentially in danger, but his curiosity got the best of him.
He concentrated his attention on the shadow he had spotted before.

...And whom do you serve?
Unknown Voice: You, my mistress. With undying loyalty.
*chuckle* Dying is never an option for you. Do you understand your orders?
UV: Perfectly.
Good. Then get to it.
Cautiously, the Shadowstalker peered into the room, just in time to catch a glimpse of.... something... melt into the shadows. The figure seemed familiar somehow, but recognition eluded him. Scanning further around, the room, the Shadowstalker concluded that the Lady was the only remaining occupant of importance. But now wasn't the time to confront her. He would seek to know what had happened to him first, and meet her upon equal footing with that knowledge. Silently, the Shadowstalker slipped away.
Meanwhile, oblivious to her stealthy audience, the Dark Lady pondered her success. The first of the crystals had finished its task. It would be only a small matter of time before the two others follow...

Procuring the portal had been child's play. With his ability to produce blunt weapons he had thought of an ingenious tactic. Recently he'd watched an episode of Pokemon and experimented with creating pokeballs. They were afterall, blunt objects. It was draining to create one with a creature inside, but worth it. An Alakazam had seen to taking over the mind of one of the mages nearby. Even a dead mind was pliable with enough power. And his pokemon had plenty of that. The portal was opened on his command and now waited for him to step through. His remembrance over, he nodded and went to his destiny.
