ooc: Can we have Thrawn and Joruus? Cause Thrawn kicks ass.

Dr. Trang rubbed his forehead more.

"I told you. This would do nothing but confuse things even more. The fact that before you burst through those tubes, when you SHOULDN'T have, might I add, you had never existed. If you had stayed in there as long as I had intended, I wouldn't have to go through explanations right now. Anyway, if you want to read them, the books are over there." Dr. Trang pointed to the side of the room, where large shelves of books were stacked up.

"There should be a list over there that says your names and what book titles to find yourself in." Roland hurried over to the shelf to look for his books. He found the list.

"Roland of Gilead-The Dark Tower series 1-7. The SERIES! I have seven books! It takes me seven books to get to the tower!" Roland grabbed the first book, and opened the first page. As he flipped through the pages, his throat went dry as he found that every word he said, every action he performed, and most scary, every thought that had entered his mind were printed down on these stories. The book fell out of his hands.

"Wait. If these are all stories of my search for the tower, then the last one should tell me how to get there!" Roland grabbed the final book, until he was stopped by Dr. Trang.

"I'm sorry Roland. But in order for you to fulfill the mission to defeat the Man in Black, I cannot allow you to read that book. I took you from the middle of the first book. Trust me, you won't like how the story continues." Dr. Trang took the book from Roland, and placed it back on the shelf. Dr. Trang looked at the others.

"Come. If you need proof of what I say, read these books. I liked the Star Wars series myself. I found the movies made from them to be quite interesting."

Garion was looking at the blurbs on the back. He picked up another book in a different section beneath the ones with pictures of him as a kid. "Gaurdians of the West" he red the blurb and paused. A tear in his eye. "I have a son?"

<Animorphs hmm...ahh yes...that was quite true...wait, I turn evil? Better to just forget that one I suppose...>

OOC: Thrawn does kick ass, but I picked Joruus since Luke went after him, although I still don't know why our enemies couldn't be pulling more people through the books (Although Joruus hated Thrawn), OR why when the scientist is betrayed, maybe he has a back up group of villians ready, and Thrawn would definitly be in that group since by the end he was ready to replace Joruus since he was insane. If that is the case, I already know one encounter Luke will have...

Luke immediatly went over to the shelf and looked, seeing a few books with Thrawn's name on them, and the title "Star Wars". He began to look around and saw dozens and dozens of books labeled "Star Wars", and as he picked up and looked at each book, he saw words and thought... and himself! Every moment of his life, every thought, every action no matter how secret, had been chronicled in these books. He flipped thorugh chapter after chapter, seeing friedns and foes turned from flesh and blood to words on paper. He didn't know what to think, and simply went a short distance away, sat down, and closed his eyes, finally going in to the healing trance he wanted to do, to heal his tired body, but also to think through all he had just learned.

Draconas was too stunned to say anything. Malistara wasn't supposed to be here as well! He couldn't believe it. Then, to add to his surprise, he found that there were books documenting his journey he had made. It was almost too much, even for a dragon such as himself. But there was something wrong.

"If I am supposed to defeat this enemy of mine, then you have the wrong person. I couldn't even stand up to Malistara. I was still waiting, still patiently waiting for the right moment to find the twins."

He last remembered having left the human-blooded twin with the king and the dragon-blooded twin with the mother's female companion. He was going to go back to them when they were older, and now this had happened. He could only assume the worse.

"Not bad... this Hagiwara does a good job of portraying my manliness... except why the hell can't I do all these bloody spells this picture book says I can? Just Anthem, Riot, and a few piffling low-level ones... What the hell happened to my Megadeath and Black Sabbath?"

"That said, it is one heck of a mind-job, realizing that you were just a made-up character..."

"Mmmm." said Katla, having remained quiet during the explanation. "I'll say. But why am I here? Tycho Issian is, as far as i can tell, more malicious, greedy, and lacking in morals than actually evil for the sake of evil. And plus, he doesn't have any of these special powers that everyone else seems to have. I can't imagine that the rest of these guys couldn't have taken care of him on their own."

She looked suspiciously at the doctor. "I'm not a token female, am I?"

Dr. Trang looked at Katla with a smile.

"As far as YOU know, you are."

Dr. Trang looked to the others.

"Well, Darsh. It's because genetics can only do so much. The spells you currently know are the only ones we could genetically program you to have. Those spells are so Arcaic, that they have to actually be learned. You'll have to learn them all over again before you can use them. And like I said before, you are all the only ones capable of defeating them. Trust me. You can say anything you want about being lucky to defeat your opponent, or about not being the right one, but when you say that, consider this." Dr. Trang looked at the picture of the villians.

"Everything you ever remember had been dictated by a person to say what would happen. You could be the most powerful man in the universe, but if the author decided that he wanted a mouse to kill you, you would have to be killed by a mouse. You had no actual say in the matter. That is completely different here. In this world, YOU decide what you do. There's no person deciding everything for you. No one is telling you what to think, what to say, or what to feel. Everything from here on is all you. Knowing that, you can defeat the villians, because there's no person saying that you will lose. YOU can decide if you win or not. From here on out, you are the authors." Dr. Trang looked back at them with a smile.

"Gives you a rush, doesn't it?"

"It doesn't matter. The world shall be mine... as soon as I clear out that goddamn Ansla-Sax."

Then, perhaps I may be able to stop Malistara.

Draconas thought long and hard about this. Someone else had dictated his every move, his every word, and his every action. That was quite the blow that Draconas had to take. Now that he was in this different place, there was no such dictator. It would take a while for this to settle in as normal for him.

OOC: Just so you know, Frodo is semi-clairvoyant when he's in alchohol induced sleeps. : D What, I had to SOMETHING with him being an alchoholic.

Garion began to read and read quickly. Everything was there. Even things he never knew. There were so many books, more than there were awakened heroes.

Dr. Trang looked at the group. He could tell that they were taking all the news pretty hard. Well, it was hard news to take. He sat down in his chair.

"Keep in mind, you aren't the only heroes I made. In fact, I have a few extras hidden away. Of course, Dr. Katton has a few more villians as well. Now, I see that you guys might need some help. Especially since not all of your skills have developed yet. So, I might as well bring in another hero from the freezer." Dr. Trang pressed a button, and a wall in the control room lifted up.

"And before you ask, yes, I do have hero tubes in almost EVERY important room in this building. Now, will all men in this room please avert your eyes." Dr. Trang pushed another button, and the device came down from the cieling, and zapped the tube. The figure inside spazmed, and shook. The glass shattered out, and a woman fell to the ground. She was naked.

"I told you guys to look away."

(OOC: Enter CelesJessa!)

"Ah, naked beauties falling from the heavens. I like this world more and more already."

You could almost see his ears tilt forward.

Roland looked strangely at the girl. Even though she was naked, he wasn't too disturbed by it. He had his way with quite a few girls in his lifetime. The fact was, she hadn't woken up yet.

"Umm...Doc. Is she supposed to still be unconscious?" Dr. Trang nodded.

"Unlike the rest of you, she had stayed in there long enough. Now, she knows most of what's going on, so I don't need to explain as much."

Garion was looking away. "If you want me to go check I will. I might be able to help."

"Checking girls? No problem, I'm a fully qualified FBI!"

"No, Aunt Pol is a healer, and I've lived with her my entire life."

Luke woke up from his healing trance, and feeling like he had sorted out the idea that basically he was a clone, and also feeling refreshed and ready for battle. He didn't really notice the naked woman, but asked, "What is an FBI?"

Dr. Trang looked questionably at the girl.

"Strange. She shouldn't have been out for THIS long. Maybe she died? That's not a good thing."

"Uhhh..." Tianna moaned, finally coming around, "What happened?" She looked around, noticing a group of unfamiliar faces. A few of them were staring at her, while others were turn around. She gave them strange looks, "Who are all of you and..." She trailed off, finally noticing that she wasn't wearing any clothes. With a slight shreik, she looked around the room, either for somewhere to hide or something to cover herself up with. She noticed a lab coat of some sort across the room, she quickly imagined it coming to her, and sure enough, her phsychokinetic powers pulled through, bringing the coat to her. She quickly put it on, thankful that it was fairly long, and covered her up. <This will have to do for now.> Then she jumped to her feet, blushing, and looking slightly irritated.

Luke looked ot the doctor and said, "I thought you said she would be better informed about what is going on?"

"Ah, Tianna. So nice of you to join us." Dr. Trang pushed a button, and a tray came out from near the tube. It carred Tianna's clothes and other personal items. Also, a curtain came pulling out.

"You may change into your clothes back there if you wish." Dr. Trang then turned to look.

"She knows what's going on. She just doesn't know you. You see, I never put the other heroes that were brought to life in the program, because I honestly didn't know which ones I would wake up. So, I figured you would all learn about eachother after you woke up."

Tianna hurridly scooped up her belongings and went to the area behind the curtain, after a bit, she returned, fully dressed in her red halter top and jeans. Hanging from around her neck was a dazziling moon pendant. She worked her hand through her thick black hair, she had calmed down, and was ready to take care of business, "Alright, so what is the current situation." She was a bit more prepared than the others, information had been fed to her through the tubes, informing her of the situation, "And I still want to know who all of you are."

Roland held out his hand.

"My name's Roland of Gilead. The last gunslinger of my world."

Luke nodded and said, "My name is Luke Skywalker, last of the Jedi."

"King Belgarion of Riva, Child of Light and Sorceror." He still had no idea who he was talking to yet. "Is it safe to turn around?"

Tianna nodded to the others, "I'm Tianna, your average school girl with phychokinetic powers," Then she added under her breath, "Except that I'm the daughter of the goddess Selene."

"I am Draconas, a simple wanderer, but that book says more than I thought would be found out about me. So in full truth, out of respect, I am a dragon. I think that should explain myself for the most part."

Draconas had been staring at a point on the wall until Tianna had came back out with her clothes on. He was a highly respectable character, until someone did something to make him think otherwise.

Luke nodded as the others introduced themselves, but said, "While it is good we learn about each other so there isn't any future distrust, we also need to concentrate on defeating our foes and how to do it. Do you have any ideas Dr. Trang, on where we should start?"

"Well they know we are here. Or at the very least Torak knows I'm here."

Dr. Trang nodded.

"Yes, they know that we're here. So, we must move to a new headquarters. I already have a plan on our first attack. But, I'll discuss it in the morning. As for now, I need some sleep. That attack and all the explaining took a bit out of me. Your rooms are right down the hall. You can stay up and talk if you want, but stay in here. Not many people in the HQ know that I've awakened you yet. Seeing unfamiliar faces in here, they'll most likely shoot at you. Good night." Dr. Trang left the control room.

(OOC: I'll be making a new thread tomorrow, since we went over 100 posts. So, you guys can talk as much as you want.)

"Um so what are Gunslingers, jedi, and psychokinwhatsits?"

Roland looked at Belgarion.

"Gunslingers are men that follow the code of the gunslingers, and are the only wielders of guns in the world. Or, in MY world, anyway. There seem to be many gunslingers in this building. Not as well trained as me and my comrades, but gunslingers none the less."

"Jedi are warriors who use this thing called the 'force' to fight. And they weild lightsabers too. You can ask Luke here for more info on the whole Jedi thing, he probably knows more about Star Wars than I do. Psychokinesis is basically where I can move things with my mind, not much more to it than that." Tianna shrugged.

"The force? Is that like sorcery?"

"It's kind of like 'the thing that guides us all'..." She shrugged again, "I don't really know how to explain it."

(OOC: just wondering, are we talking the Luke directly from the books, or more closely related to the movies? Since the books go on forever and a day. ^^;; I was consitering being Jaina, but we already had a Star Wars person. ^^;; )

(OOC: Most likely from the books, but if you're reaching for stuff, maybe Forever would allow some movie stuff. If you have any big questions, just PM him. Hopefully he'll answer.)

ooc: I'm assuming it's appropriate, seeing as how the rp has started and stuff, but anyways, I could be wrong again. To the point, now: I've had some issues with time lately, any chance I can jump back in? If you approve me, I've just done a serious edit on this post and changed my mind again, and I'd still like to be Elminster, but with the following changes (along with the requirement of learning good spells again that you instituted)

1-no spellfire...unless you specify otherwise later on in the RP
2-no goddess protecting me (obviously)
3-anything else I need to nerf?

Yep, minds change a lot. And I want to blow stuff up anyways.

(OOC: Sure, you're in. Just wait for the next thread. I'll have Dr. Trang wake you up.)

cool...but now I'm off to bed...I may be a bit late with tomorrow's posting

"FBI? Oh, that's simple. Female Body Inspector. You ddn't know?"

"That is just crude." Garion said to DS. "Show some more respect than that."

DS looked at Garion as though he had just declared himself Global Emperor Overlord of Flying Monkey Land, then rolled his eyes.

"Great, a moralist. Would you like me to bang my Bible too?"

(OOC: Time for the new thread.)
