Alright, this we haven't had one of these in a while, not since more people were active, but I'm going to do it anyway.

This is essential Blood Bath. You are a member of whichever faction you are a part of, and it's a no-holes barred battle. Unlike my Arena, in which there are rules, only basic BB rules apply here. The battle is usually fought heavily in space, but.... oh well.

There are many factions in here, depending on how you look at it, but the actual factions are of course:

The Empire
The Empire is a vast force controlling a large portion of the known universe, and several alternate dimesions as well. They follow a strict sytstem of honour and loyalty, immune to propaganda of outside forces. The largest force and most advanced force in Blood Bath, the Empire boasts these special abilities -

Superior Technology and Weaponry, Vast Numbers


The Renegade Troopers
The Renegade Troopers are an elite group of men and women who scour the universe seeking challenges, and accepting any readily. They're fearless, and boast a variety of different strengths -

Elite Troops, Oddity Equipment for any situation

The Abyss
The Abyssal hoarde is infinite and old, they never sleep, and are always waiting for more souls to forever devour. Demons make up most of this faction, and while lacking intelligence, are fearless and can never die. The strengths are such -

Endless forces, Magic

The Kninwa
The Kninwa are an army of skilled warriors, who prize the art of close combat over any other. They seldom lose in a front-line battle. While not as skilled as the Renegade Troopers, or as well equipped as the Imperial Soldiers, the Kninwa forces are skilled, and adept at using formations to gain advantage on the field -

Skilled at close quarters, power through battle formations

-------------------------------------------------------

These are not strict factions, as nothing is set in stone in BB. So fight, kill, maim, and bring home the cake. Oh... and there are neutral peoples, like Vandire and Echopark, who may join any faction they want temporarily, or none at all.

WAR - The following factions are at war.

The Empire has declared war on The Abyss.
The Empire has declared war on The Kninwa.
The Renegade Troopers have declared war on The Abyss.
The Renegade Troopers have declared war on The Kninwa.

ALLIANCES - The following factions are allied.

The Empire and The Renegade troopers have agreed to an alliance.

*steps off a turbolift aboard his newly christened flagship, "black eagle" onto the bridge where everything was in an ancient language on every computer system and every trooper was decked out in full predator gear as the ship remained cloaked and hidden amongst the stars in orbit of an unknown planet somewhere beyond the rim of known space itself.

wildcard took his seat and stared directly out a view screen at the planet below, "helm...is the fleet ready?" as wc glanced over at a trooper in full predator gear he recieved a nod which wc then pressed a button that had an ancient symbol representing it that sent orders to every other cloaked rt ship to proceed towards their respective quadrants of space to begin the assault upon the kinwa.

wildcard immediately rose and stepped into a section of the bridge where he activated a terminal communication system and sent a message to the empire that the assault on the kinwa was about to begin and that they should carry out their operation against the abyss.....

3 Months Later

....as the reports streamed in, wildcard was astounded at the effectiveness of his newly formed predator troopers that hunted in packs like terrorists or guerilla warfare as the term went until the enemy was hacked down enough to overwhelm and annihilate them with the main forces of the rt. he liked it so much, he decided to make the predator troopers the mainstay special operations aswell as a dedicated, honor bound hunting party. the kinwa had lost over a dozen wolds in the initial stage of the RT's massive surprise assault, they had all but gone on a defensive retreat, setting up space forts along their way to hold the troopers at bay whilst they tried to regroup.

before an actual counter offensive could be mounted though, wc ordered the new predator fleet ships to end their assaults and raise the worlds captured by terraforming them into dead rocks by incinerating the atmospheres with proton bombs and then leave in cloaked fashion without a trace to await the kinwa's actions and weed out the remainder of their forces in a bait and switch so they could wipe them out in quick fashion rather than in a prolonged war like with the bob clan*

Nova sat at his primary console, the data coming through from multiple locations. The forces of the abyss had been advancing over the past month, as their leader had joined the ranks, taking down forces with ease. In the past two weeks though, ever since Nova had introduced those new gem-soul complexes, it was becoming increasingly easy to push them back.

The gem-soul complexes protected the wearer from any interference with their soul, and could also severely damaged any unholy force to come within it's radius.

The Nemesis Cannons were also helping, but their weren't enough of them. Thankfully anything they hit was utterly erased from existence, taking the problem of demonic reincarnation away.

The most effective weapon was the Aairez Rifle. A single shot let off a blast radius that locked any demon within a 10 foot radius in an unbreakable crystal sphere about the size of a walnut.

Also, work on other weapons was underway as well. Nova looked at the battle reports. So far, The Empire was winning, gaining territory closer to that horrible tear in space, leading directly to the abyss.

Nova telepathically sent a message to WildCard, informing him as he did weekly, that everything was running smoothly.

*vandires picket fleet had been ambushed by a group pf stealth ships, there origin and design unknown, they had dropped out of cloak at the edge of the asteroid field and the void between both fleets was filled with pllasma trails and missile contriails as the fight broke out, the enemy had vandire outgunned and outmanouvered*

break formation, head for closest jump points, just do what you can, we need to get a messege to HQ

*vandire stood watching as elements of his fleet were chased off then punced on by vastly superior numbers, pack hunters, picking off the weak and wounded. Warning runes blinked across his display visor. He sent a mind impulse to the enghine, setting it onto overdrive the readouts red critical for stress on the engines just as the beak of the ship tore through the side of the enemy vessel that had been firing upon it. The reinforced adamantium prow ripping through the decks, untill both vessels came to a halt, engines stuttered and died, and boarding parties from both sides rampaged through each others vessels. Vandire took his needle pistol and power sword and headed to the corridor, the fighting had spread this far already, the cries of the wounded could be heard as they were mercilessly cut down. As vandire stepped around a corner he saw the foe, there suits glimmering in the harsh light, like they werent really there, only blurs of what they stood against..Vandire didnt care, his pistol fired laser accelerated needles of virulent neurotoxins that sped up the metabolism causing the unfortunate victim to boil inside himself before the build up of gasses caused him to explode, which is exactly what happened to the first glimmer, a hail of needles rattled off its armour until one found its mark, punching through a joint in the armour and into the things neck, its roar was horrifying, even as it died it staggered toward vandire, its weapon raised, barking plasma fire searing past him , it then dropped to the deck and its armoured form was blown apart, covering the corridor in blood*

fall back to the escape pods men, and man the danm fighters already!!

Aboard The "Black Eagle"

*wildcard surveyed battle reports that were streaming in over the past few weeks and a skirmish caught his eye, in the report it was stated there was one fatality of the crew during a boarding operation and that a few crewmembers of the kinwa ship had managed to escape, marking the only time in which a member of the kinwa had survived, let alone a number of them surviving. the report sent a wave of frustration through wildcard, as much as he didn't want to admit it, he was a perfectionist and this incident marred what should have been a perfect operation to wipe out the kinwa.

he stormed out of his quarters and headed to the bridge, as he arrived a few troopers decloaked and he quickly issued orders to send a hunting party of two predator class ships backed up with a regular rt cruiser that was outfitted with it's own cloaking device to track down these survivors before they could reach kinwa protected area and have them brought to the prison colony far beyond the reaches of the rim of known space where they could be tortured and interrogated just for the hell of it, of this wildcard would do himself when the time arose as he sat in his bridge seat once more gazing out the view screen at the vastness of space and the slowly approaching planet that was populated by kinwa civilians which they intended to incinerate, all because of the warrior training post on the planet.

wildcard glared almost imperceptibly as he thought, "shame about the innocent lives...oh well, the universe can be repopulated...with predator troopers"*

*vandire paced the floor of the command deck aboard one of two vessels which escaped, both Damoncles class light cruisers, not a match for the foe that pursued them, an astropath signal had been sent to all kninwa, and defences were in preperation, fleets massed and ancient vaults unsealed as the elite of the kninwa took to arms. Across millions of worlds, ancient tomb ships similar in design to the ill fated nexus arose from slumber, there mechanical servants inside also stiring to life, energy flowed once more through the warp portals of old as masses of silent metal warriors marched to battle fields distant. Back on the command bridge, vandire read reports of enemy contacts, heavy losses our side, with few to the foe, only one ship is reported destroyed, to the loss of two war fleets*

commrades, i do believe this is our calling....

*suddenly, two predator cloaked ships appeared in front of vandire's ship blasting away at the shielding and armor as distraction enough for the RT military ship to decloak off the port bow of the other kinwa vessel to put an ion cannon blast right through it's bridge and then another into the fore of the ship sending ripples of blasts all the way back to her engines before she exploded. the three RT ships sent boarding ships to the kinwa vessel that vandire was aboard after it's engines were violently blown to hell and her weapon's turrets shot to pieces as a squadron of cloakable RT fighers picked them off one by one.

wildcard's trusted predator clan leader stalked the ship killing off kinwa after kinwa warrior as the rt troopers, predators and predator troopers scoured the ship taking no prisoners, eventually the clan leader found vandire holed up on the bridge where a battle ensued, the predator went full on, tossing out a war spear/net, trapping vandire beneath it and quickly rushed him to grip his throat through an opening slowly choking the life from him as the net wire cut through his body*

*with the predators vice like grip on his throat, vandire thumbed the activator on his power sword and cut through the predators arm at the elbow, also freeing himself from the cutting wire of the net, ignoring the nausia and pain, the then thrust his blade up into the predators skull, using his body wieght to push it over and he landed heavily ontop ofits now dead form. After a minute of sitting there chocking, a small light on his wrist pad started flashing, and he smiled as 5 of the souless vessels dropped into realspace, there gauss weapons stripping the armour of the predator vessels, green lighting whipped at the shields, ripping holes through the enemies defences, in the confusion vandire was phased aboard one of the vessels which promptly phased into the immaterium and jumped to the nearest kninwa base. The battle had began for real, and vandire now had a grudge.*

*smirking from his seat upon his bridge on the "black eagle", wildcard chuckled at the display before him and just as the enemy vessels jumped in he tagged them with cloaked trackers and followed them to their main base, remaining cloaked and hidden aboard his newest vessel as vandire had unwittingly fallen into his trap. just as he pressed a button, millions of predator ships and RT military cruisers, carriers and battleships dropped out of hyperspace; still cloaked and undetected by the enemie's sensor equipment due to the requisitioning of technology from the empire to use in his own ships. at this point, wildcard was glad he had made a permanent alliance with nova, it was paying off.

they waited and watched the enemy forces slowly amassing and surveyed everything that happened from supply movements to training missions being conducted over the course of a few weeks, it was a new method wildcard had taken to; observe the enemy before striking. learn their weaknesses and faults and then exploit them by any means necessary. with a light press of a button, a dozen light destroy RT ships jumped in non-cloaked and began to harass a large portion of the regrouped kinwa fleet luring it off to the otherside of the planet.*

*she stood at the bridge of one of the light destroy RT ships, not only was she watching the status of the other eleven, but also that of the kinwa ships following thier lead. she liked the new methods her leader had taken up, something about it all made her feel more like that of a fighter now. everything was going fine, all she and the other ships were waiting on was farther instructions.*

This is going to have wonderful results in the end...keep all channels and moniters steady on these events, we dont want to miss a beat.

*a small smile came to her face as she glanced around the bridge at the others near her, everyone was focused on the events at hand...she liked what she saw*

External View

*The ship exits drydock from the space port, afters its final over haul. Its new and having run all its tests fine.. ready for action.*

Internal View

*Smiling, Bobo sitting in the Commanding chair, his hands on the chair controls, a screen on each side, pulling up reports of how the ship is fairing.*

"General Sir.." *Says a cadet, not even a month out of the acadmy, turning in his chair to face the bridge seat.* "..incomming orders from Kommandant WildCard. Appears to be pre-recorded and for your eyes only."

*The cadet turns back as Bobo nods and rotates one of the Spheres, and depressing a spot with his thumb the message appears and depressing a seemingly random number of buttons and symbols on both spheres, the message opens and plays, so only Bobo can see and hear it.*

*Looking up after the message plays completly, he stands up and starts to speak.* "Well.." *But he's interupted by the Communications Cadet.* "Sir! The message! It.. It's gone?! Just.. erased itsself.. but.. how..?" *Walking over Bobo places a hand on his shoulder* "Easy there.. its how the Kommandat works.. don't worry. Now.. we have new orders.. we are to join Nova and his forces at the Tear where the Abyssal hoarde is comming from, and assist him." *A murmer arises from the troopers and as one they nod. Raising his hand, Bobo gives the order to take us saftly away from the drydock and then engage the space fold engine, and returns to his chair.*

External View

*The ship moves a safe distance away from anything of any importance and engages the Space fold engine, and like stepping through a door way, they are at the front lines, with Nova's ships.*

Internal View

"This is General Bobo of the Renegade Troopers, I request to speak to Nova. Thank you." *Bobo sits back in his chair and waits.*

"sir tactical analysis of the enemys ships has shown some weaknesses" the young qpprentice anounced as he handed the data slate to adok

"weaknesses eh, see to it that the ships is equiped to deall with them and take full advantage of this"

*adok walked acroos the shipyard command centre to the veiwing dock where his new ship was starting to take shape."the pride of calron" a vessel almost three times the size of a ny kninwa ship before it, and capable of taking on and destroying several of the enemys ships cloaked or not. beyond his flagship the shipyards streched moving with constuction bee's and people in compresion suits. almost covering the new fleet. each and every ship identical to "the pride of calron" in systems and tactical abilities.

the fleet of the new dark moved out of the yards only two months after construction had began. three thousand new battle cruisers moved out in formation adn almost imedialaly droped to the warp.

"the day will be ours my brethren, we go to the end" adok announced over the ship to ship coms "give word to vandire, he is to hold as long as possible help is on the way"*

*vandire got word of the imenant arival of the new fleet, and smiled*

prepare the proton emmitters, and power up there auto replicators, let the fireworks commence i guess

*all over kninwa space, the emiiters came to life, untold millions of them, there proton engines firing and sending out solar flares and other magnetic and psionic iregularities, vandires own ship was the first to feel its effect as its claok failed and couldnt compensate for the interuptions, all over kninwa space the predator fleet began to show on scanners, millions of them, vandire already knew his target, spies came in handy sometimes*

you know where she is ensign, take me there

*vandires ship "unjust" a hard hitting assault cruiser, retro fitted with a collection of docking clamps and fighter bays phased into the warp and reapeared 15 minutes later amongst a confused squadron of ships, the docking arms unfurled from the uunderbelly of the unjust and groped the space before the vessel, contact was made and shroomies ship jarred under the impact. Explosions sounded and the breach was made, vandire at the head of the assault, the neru, the souless, beside him, his own body enreathed in the new dark, he fired points of light, small stars as they aproached the enemy, there cloaking devices werent fast enough to compensate for the violently changing light, easy targets for the gauss weapons, foes were stripped to there constituant atoms, as the assault continued, the souless that fell phased back to a nexus point for repair, there number are legion. Vandire let the new dark do his bidding, dark bolts of black green energy striking down the predators as there weapons flailed harmlessly through his incorporeal form. The assault found itself at the bridge, vandire took his other form, metallic, obsidian in colour, his face a mechanical skull, he looked at shroomy and motioned to another neru, she was phased into containment on a distant world where she would be turned into something more useful, another arco flagelant perhaps, the flesh is weak, the machine is strong*

our job here is done, we leave

*with those words the assault force vanished, a hint of ozone and a trail of destruction the only clue that they had even been there. Back at the main front, adoks fleet droped out of warp right amongst the enemies main fleet, battle ensued*

* the kninwa battlefleet cruised through the now clearly visable predator fleet. the fire exchange in the first minute was enough to destroy ten of the predator ships. for no loss in return "you know what your looking for helm find him" the helmsmen worked frantacally with scanner teams to find the enemy flagship. "we have him sir hes fleeing the field"......"lock on and fire take out his drive systems. and send out the order to deploy boarding assult". within seconds of the order being given the kninwa fleet had deployed thousands of boarding craft wtih fighter and bomber support. while the fighters drew fire, the bombers took out small craft defences on the predator ships, allowing more boarding craft to reach them safely.

inside the enemy vessels boarding repeler teams were forming. with practiced presicion the craft simultaniously docked with their targets . in side the enemy vessels red glowing circles started to form on walls and bulkheads as the kninwa cut through. the sections of hull dropped into the ship followed closly by a sea of stars from small eminters on the boarding vessels. the stars quickly spread impacting against cloaked predator armour making them highly visable. within the first few minutes of the assualt. thousands died on both sides. however the kninwa did capture more than a few vessels subsequently placing charges and destroying them. adoks ship fought threw the enemys fleet chasing wildcard*

*as adoks fleet punched into the predator fleet, vandires own asault vessel phased in at intervals, latching onto enemy vessels, boarding them, destroying them, or scuttling them before vanishing again. Dropping into existance once more vandires ship takes a direct hit, crippling its engines, one of its arms ripped free and was sent flailing into the void, a stream of plasma spurting forth from its wound, the unjust crashed sidelong into the enemy cruiser, a vesel many times its size, , the predator ship buckled inward, the unjust comming to rest midway through the vessel, vandire sent a mind impulse to the arm, and it started to unfold slowly it extended, foring itself open, pushing the enemy vessel in two, one half of the vessel drifted slowly away from the rest. Vandire stood on the bridge, its atmousphere long gone, his now emotionless face would be smiling if it could. This is what he lived for, the chaos, the mayhem, the ..fun.*

*an empath link was made with adok, and vandire explained that there allies would arrive shortly, and in numbers*
