This is Thread 54 of the adventures of the Sereni-Tree!


For “The Guide to the Clubhouse / Treehouse / Sereni-Tree Threads”, telling our story and providing links to all such threads:

Early in this next link is the very long post containing “TheRealMe’s Guide to the Sereni-Tree, V6”. This post is a description of the ship and crew, the latter of which is out of date.

The latest, updated crew list is early in this thread:
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=22611



Following is a summary of our previous thread, located at:
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=25193

The Sereni-Tree has come to the planet Zanzibar, colonized long ago by new age mystics, fantasy role-players, and Renaissance Faire enthusiasts. Our Heroes have gotten involved in a war between the heroic Knights of the Octagonal Order and the Immortals, a small band of unkillable magicians of terrible power who have conquered the planet.

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

On the planet Zanzibar:

War has come to the Keep of the Octagonal Order. The Immortal Karg the Bloody led his armies of mutant monsters against the brave defenders, which included the Knights of the Octagon and some of Our Heroes from the Sereni-Tree (Wisp, Scorpion Regent, his robot Snarky, Deuce / Bride2, and Jazaf). Much fighting and heroism was had defending the walls of the keep.

Our own Jazaf has been revealed as both a Knight of the Octagonal Order (as Sir Jazaf) AND an Immortal (as Jazaf the Grey, the Metal Beast). He’s been fighting on the side of the Knights, luckily for us.

After his lab was destroyed by the misguided Sir Fesai, Wisp injects Sir Lucretia with a serum to give her super-powerful magical abilities. It works well. Too well. Luc seems to lose control of herself and transforms into a monster while spouting phrases normally associated with megalomaniac super-villians bent on conquering the world. Her increase in power is sort of handy, however. This is because, late in the great battle, the human / dragon / demon cross-breed Special Project of the Immortals has arrived. The Special Project Is out of anyone’s control and has been burninating people from both sides. The siege is largely over by this time, and the remaining monstrous troops scatter.

TheRealMe and Jake7 have been using Jadehand’s soul jar detectors and have found the soul jar of the Immortal Alatariel the monster-breeder. They have recently returned to the Octagonal Order’s keep with an offer to help find more soul jars.

Chickenman Number13 has arrived at the Octagonal Keep on a flying mount loaded down with magical items while the fight between the Great Project of the Immortals and the Luc-monster continues.

LightMeDark was last seen in a simple farm cottage meeting a cranky old man and his family. As we well know, such cranky old men are often much more than they appear! Or maybe not.

Ash / XanderLHarris came down to Zanzibar, but we have sort of lost track of her.

Between cleverness on part of the Knights, the overwhelming power of Sir Luc, and their own bickering and treachery, all of the Immortals aside from Jazaf and Alatariel have been constrained by Wards Major and placed inside Magnus’ Impenetrable Cage in the Immortal’s Castle. However, Alatariel lost her mind during her struggle against the Immortal Empress Arinda of the Silver Eyes. Jazaf has placed the Castle of Immortals (and the Key of Magnus’ Impenetrable Cage) in the care of his new butler, Chickenman Number 6, and is seeking a way to return Alatariel to normal.

By the time the siege of the Octagonal Keep is winding down and the battle between the Luc-monster and the Special Project really gets going, the eight Knights of the Octagonal Order are suffering some vacancies in their ranks. Sir Fesai has been frozen solid and broken into pieces; Sir Wil has had a tower dropped on him; Sir Devan has been turned to stone, fell from a great height, and THEN had a tower dropped on him; Sir Luc has lost control of her magic and has transformed into a monster; and Sir Jazaf has been magically transported away to the Castle of Immortals. Still active at the Keep of the Octagon are only: Sir Morgana, the Baroness of Fairhaven and senior remaining Knight; Sir Elaine who lost her greatsword; and Sir Kei the cheerful monster-slayer.

Finally, the Luc-monster uses magic to cause the Great Project to tear itself to pieces, but sadly finds herself overcome by her own magic as silver lines trace their way throughout her body. Deciding that the Luc-monster seemed pretty evil, Chickenman Number 13 attacks it atop his flying mount with his arsenal of magical items.

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

On the Sereni-Tree in orbit:

Cozen was last seen cooking up some giant fire-breathing space chickens for dinner, but may have been interrupted by Quincey / Bride5.

Ace / Bride1 has been wandering the Sereni-Tree after being revived / cloned by Doctor SimonWho. She is unfamiliar with current events and most of the crew, since her last memory was some 30 threads ago. She makes friends with McQ the cyborg, who has recently re-activated.

McQ is later seen helping to untangle Christmas lights.

With PsychicRiver nowhere to be seen, Serenity pulls out of storage the large metallic tree fashioned last year by Jazaf. Soul and Serenity continue their roles as proud new parents, taking the little angel Sera to the pifflepony ranch in the cargo bay and to Sereni-Tree’s newly established winter snow park of fun, making snow angels and taking sled rides. Uncle Ath and Mai enjoy spending lots of their time with the baby as well. They are currently making snow angels.

SimonWho is offering good medical advice, but is not reading labels on refrigerator items.

After turning into a wizard and exhausting his capacity to change shape, Jadehand returned to Sereni-Tree and once more turned into the pirate Black Jack Rackham with his never-empty flask of rum. Then, he takes the shuttle Ocean Cloud down to Zanzibar to relax and observe the sunset.

Doris the talking goat is wandering about, talking.

A very pregnant Seryn removed herself from adventures on Zanzibar for a time. However, she recently went down in her fighter, the Nandi, to the Octagonal Order keep for a supportive strafing run. Also, she has distributed magic Christmas present boxes.

The Yeti are still playing with their new addition, Corbin’s baby SimonYeti. They have all moved into the snow park, as it is similar to their natural environment. One of them has started a snowball fight with Ath, Serenity, and Mai.

Brides3, 4, 6, and 7 don’t seem to be doing much, though Jet / Bride4 usually keeps to herself in Engineering, anyway.

Oh, and TheRealMe sent Jake7 to the safety (and fun) of the Sereni-Tree via one of his dimensional portals.

Sure! Party away!

I was just hoping to resolve ALL Zanzibarbarian stuff on the previous thread to give us a clean slate, but that was not to be.

As is our tradition, after three perilous threads, we can expect some calm resting and party threads.

SAFEAT2ND


“Insignificant gnat!” Sir Luc swats 13 out of the air. “You think Magnus’s trinkets will help you defeat me?!?” Sir Luc taps into the magic again in attempt to heal the damage inflicted by 13, but instead of healing, the wounds seal over with metal the silver veins of which speed up in the consumption of her body.

Panicing again, she looks towards the Keep. She moves to take a step, but finds her legs fused to the ground.

She reaches her arm out imploringly towards the Kepp. “Wisp, Kei, heelppp meeeee…” Her voice trails off in an electronic squeal as her body is totally engulfed.

A light snow starts to fall.

13 dances triumphantly around the battle ground. “I did it! Me!”

After the peril seems to be over, Sir Morgana orders that the statue of Luc be sealed away in the vault of the techno-heretics. After that, she leads the rescue efforts for anyone trapped in the falling towers. Meanwhile, Sir Elaine and Sir Kei lead troops about the battlefield, eliminating what few monsters are still fighting and leading medical teams to tend to the wounded.

SR finally breaks off a extended and very heated liplock with Seryn.

"The battle is won, love. There are still some people trapped in the fallen towers so I'm going to help a bit more. I promise to be back to the ship soon." SR notices a individual skulking away, "What this?" he says and lizard quick he whirls his sling above his head and lets fly. The stone strikes a glancing blow to the man's head and he falls senseless.
"Isn't that a bit unnecessary?" asks Seryn.
"Not if it is who I think it is," SR replies as he walks over to the stunned man. To Seryns disapointment SR rolls the man onto his back and starts to search him.
"So who is he?" she asks with a air of weary disinterest.
"Sir Morris MacKeirn, he was chancellor to Emperess Arinda, now just a fallen knight on the run." replies SR as he finds and pockets a small pouch. "Right! all is good and well now."

SR senses a strange stirring in the "Force". He checks his comlink and reviews the "threads" for recent developements.
"oh this is going to be interesting." he mutters to himself and sends a quick E-mail to GreyJedi.

"Dear sir, The captain had given me use of the apartment in engineering that was previously yours. If you with the apartment back I will remove my belongs as soon I have concluded rescue operations dirtside on Zanzibar. Your personal affects are currently in storage in one of the cargo bays. I apologise for any inconvienence this may cause.

Sincerely
Scorpion Regent

P.S. Your apprentice will be glad to see you back."

"...?"

She decides not to question the pocketing of certain items by SR. Not openly anyway, instead she fixes him with a steely glare and looks pointedly at his pocket.
But he doesn't elaborate.

She shrugs and makes to head back towards the Nandi. "So does this mean you be back on the Tree within a reasonable amount of time? I don't mean to sound trivial but theres a very good party about to start and meanwhile i'm wasting this dress on a bunch of dead orcs.
Oh who am I kidding? I always mean to sound trivial."

She kisses him goodbye and climbs aboard, waving goodbye as she takes off.

And SR goes off to do hero type stuff.

Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

SR returns to the tower ruins and side by side with Snarky removes rubble. At one point he notices he is in close proximity with sir Elaine.
"Mil lady," He says and gives her a curt nod of respect. "You fought bravely, the sacrifice of your sword was a grand and worthy gesture. Those of us still standing today will not forget it."
"Gramercy, mil lord." Sir Elaine replies and carries on without any further comment.
"When all the injured are recovered, if I might speak with you and Sir Morgana I would be in your debt."
"I did not hear you name Mil lord."
There was a long pause as SR struggled with a particularly heavy beam. He pushed it aside with the help of Snarky. He paused briefly to wipe his brow with the back of his hand.
"I am called Scorpion Regent."
Sir Elaine's eyes harden for a instant and then she shrugs.
"I will speak with Sir Morgana of you," She says turning back to her work. "I make no promises at this time mister Regent."

On Sereni-Tree:

As Grey turns right at the end of a corridor, he is met by someone. A short woman stands before him, ready with a scanner and a plasma rifle. She has dark hair and wears glasses. She is dressed in dirty coveralls.

“So, it really is you! When I got the intruder alarm and saw you in the monitors…” Jet puts away the scanner and activates the safety on the plasma rifle and powers it down.

She stalks toward Grey, wiping tears of anger from her eyes as she looks up at him. She repeatedly jabs him with her index finger. “Where in the ‘verse have you been? You think that you and Needleseye can run off like you did, disappear into nowhere, leaving me the responsibility of keeping things running? And I was barely even trained!”

Her lower lip quivers, she drops the weapon, and embraces Grey. She mutters into his shirt. “It was so difficult, doing it all without you! Without you both!”

Soon the anger melts away and only the tears remain. She smiles. “Welcome back!”

Jet lets go and backs away a few steps. “Are you staying? Ebo gave away your room some time ago to this guy named Warren. He’s an okay sort and has been helping in Engineering. I gave him a copy of your specifications for the ship. I call it ‘Grey’s Anatomy’. You remember? The huge book that you gave me when I started? I've been making updates to it every time something changes.

“Anyway, your stuff is in a storage locker. I packed it myself. It’s all there. I’m sure that TheRealHim will give you your room back...” She gulps uneasily. “If that’s what you want.”


Jet, Bride4

Soul looks up from his wanderings and sees a face he hadn't seen in quite a while, and a smile crosses his features. He walks over to Grey and holds out his hand, the other man grasping it.

"Welcome back, Grey," Soul says. "I've missed you, man."

On the Sereni-Tree:

“Hi..”

Grey turns at the voice behind him and is startled.

It is a tall, attractive woman with long straight blonde hair. She holds out her hand to shake Grey’s. “Just so you know, I’m okay now. I understand that I was acting pretty Reaverish the last time you were here. But that’s been a while. Thirty threads or more.”

It is Ace, Bride1. The last time Grey remembers her, the FemaleReaver had reaverized Bride1 and both were running amok. It was Needleseye who stopped Bride1 in a very, very messy way. Then Grey himself dealt with the FemaleReaver.

Jet beams, and puts her arm up and around Ace, who flinches at the over-familiar gesture. “We Brides recently got Doctor SimonWho to clone her out of her remains. Don’t worry, he cut out all the nasty DNA!”


Ace, Bride1
Jet, Bride4

On Zanzibar:

Sir Morgana comes over to Scorpion Regent. She looks much as she did before, dressed in light leather armor with a number of weapons at her waist. Her hair, however, now sports a number of white locks, an aftermath of the strenuous sorcery she had engaged in earlier.

"I am here," she says wearily. "What do you wish to say to me?"

EDIT: Morgana is irritated, in part, because she expects to have to erect a statue or something to that silly looking chicken-man.

I'm sorry the leaving was as sudden as it was... I had a place I needed to go. But that journey is over and, well, there's no place like home, they say. As for my quarters, there's no rush or anything. I don't know how long I'll be around, but I'll be around for a while yet. And I'd love to see what's been added to the manual...Grey's Anatomy...

*Grey chuckles to himself*

Seryn exits the Nandi and makes her way from the bay to wherever it was she left her pile of present boxes.

Attracted by the sounds of voices, she see's a whole bunch of folks - many she's never seen before - and being naturally nosy as hell she goes to say hallo and introduce herself.

And to hand out box's, feeling very glad that she obeyed the 10% rule (always get 10% more than you think you might need)

SR drops to one knee. "Your excellency, I have found my self in a situation that I had long wished for, yet the moment is not what I had expected." SR reaches inside his haversack and extracts the pouch he had taken off the stranger on the battle field. "Having is not the same as wanting." He hands the pouch to Sir Morgana.

APRILISE


Shadow and Ghost sat watching the proceedings playing happily with the Christmas presents they had found at the bottom of their beds when they had woken up Christmas Morning. They had found a nice little room on this strange ship, one that seemed to be made for two girls at precisely their ages.

Ghost thought it was magic.

Shadow thought the adults had something to do with it.

Regardless it was a nice room.

They each had their own beds, and each had a closet that had clean clothes in it. There was even a toybox filled with dolls and a bookcase full of books. A vid screen was there too with lots of games and videos to play on it.

They were getting used to life up here, they hoped it would last. Afterall who would be looking for them.

Sir Morgana comes over to Scorpion Regent. She looks much as she did before, dressed in light leather armor with a number of weapons at her waist. Her hair, however, now sports a number of white locks, an aftermath of the strenuous sorcery she had engaged in earlier.

"I am here," she says wearily. "What do you wish to say to me?"

EDIT: Morgana is irritated, in part, because she expects to have to erect a statue or something to that silly looking chicken-man.









SR drops to one knee. "Your excellency, I have found my self in a situation that I had long wished for, yet the moment is not what I had expected." SR reaches inside his haversack and extracts the pouch he had taken off the stranger on the battle field. "Having is not the same as wanting." He hands the pouch to Sir Morgana.

Scorpion Regent



Morgana seems confused as she takes the object from SR.

"I think it's the dreamer's stone." SR says in a hushed and reverent tone.

Sir Morgana examines the item. Her eyes go wide and her breath catches. "How...???"

"My deepest apologies your excellency. You can have the stone or you can hear the story, but you can't have both. I need to have something to keep for myself."

On Zanzibar:

Morgana looks at him strangely. "What an odd fellow," she mutters to herself.

Then she takes the stone and puts it into a pouch on her belt. "Very well, then I will abandon curiosity and use this to aid my people and my world in rebuilding from this catastrophe. For this, and other services of late, I will include your name on the List of Heroes. I will see that you are pardoned of all crimes for which you have been accused. And if you should chose to stay here... well, there are vacancies among the Octagonal Order which need filling."

On Zanzibar:

After excavating the rubble that was once a pair of towers on the Keep of the Octagonal Order, Sir Wil of the Order is found alive but gravely wounded, along with some of his archer troops. Also, the statue that was once Sir Devan is recovered.

Sir Morgana stares at the statue and sighs sadly. “Well, it seems that we needn’t bother to construct a statue to honor Sir Devan. He’ll be his own monument.”

TheRealMe walks up to Sir Morgana. “Pardon me, Lady. I have already handed over soul jar detectors to you and the rescue work seems largely done. I believe that you no longer require the services of me or of my associates. By your leave, we shall make ready to depart. We would welcome any of your folk who wished to join us.”

Sir Morgana shrugs absently. “Whatever. We have made ready a breeding pair of fire-breathing space chickens that you requested.”

TheRealMe bows. “Excellent! Thank you!” Then he uses his com-link. “Well, are all the Sereni-Tree folks ready to go home? Meet at the Octagonal Keep and we’ll take the fighter Nandi and the shuttle General Lee back up to orbit. I guess that the Lee must have been the shuttle Jazaf and Bride2 came down in, and…”

TheRealMe looks about at Wisp, Seryn, ScorpionRegent, and Snarky.

“Uh, hey, where ARE Jazaf and Bride2, anyway? Or LightMeDark? Or Xander/Ash?”

Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges


Wisp walked through the rubble Still in his exoskeleton, eventually reaching the room that housed all the techology he'd worked on. Stepping down he surveyed the room one last time and proceeded to remove a piece the armour covering the suits leg.

Underneath was a small pinpad which he typed a short code into. He then slowly turned and walked away to return to the group. Meanwhile In the Hangar a series of small explosive detonated throughout the wreckages.

They'd seen the power they held, They couldnt be allowed to experiment.

On Zanzibar:

As a series of exposions are heard in the Keep of the Octagonal Order, Sir Morgana's head jerks back to gaze in that direction, puzzled and concerned.

TheRealMe cringes, deducing instantly that the cause must be one of his associates. "ThankYouLadyWeWillBeOffNowHaveAGoodDay!" he blurts out as he attempts to quickly herd his people aboard the landing craft. He is in the pilot seat reving the engine as Wisp hops aboard to secure the hatch. Soon, the shuttle is airborne.

TheRealMe sighs in relief. "Okay, someone take a head count. Are we missing anybody?"

In the back of the shuttle, Deuce perks up. "Hey! Where is my Sensei? Where is Jazaf?"

"If my life were entirely my own then I would remain, yet I am compelled to serve my lady and to see the child she is soon to bear safe. When I can not say, but look for me again in times of need for I am drawn to this world and only death will prevent my return."

On the Shuttle:

"Ummmm... Yes Bride2, quite right. Jazaf... Where would he be?"


OOC: Safe or 13 or anyone, you may feel free to have any of your Zanzibar characters stow away on the shuttle, or have been taking a long nap inside before we took off.

JAZAF


"Nothing...."
Jazaf had scoured the books in the Study and poured over the research left behind by Alatariel. But to his dismay nothing shed any light on how to aid Alatariel from her recent fate. He entered Alatariel's room and pulled a chair beside her bed where she lay, comatose. Jazaf held her hand, on the verge of tears, as he spoke.
"I'm sorry. I should never have come back here. If I hadn't this would not have happened. What happened to you is my fault..."
The shuffling of feet interrupts Jazaf, he turns to see who it is. Chickenman Number 6 approaches carrying an object in his misshapen hand. "Milord, Lady Alatariel instructed one of our number to give you this if you had returned and something unfortunate had happened to her." Number 6 opened his hand to reveal a tiny sword, which Jazaf recognized as the missing piece to his pendant. Jazaf took the sword and thanked Number 6 who then promptly left the room.
Jazaf held the tiny charm and could feel something about it had been altered, then Jazaf heard a faint voice.
"Jazaf... Take care of this charm. After you left I was ordered to do things. Horrible acts against beings, sentient and non. It took a serious toll on me. It burdened my heart to torture and break the people who later became the servants of the Keep. One day it became too great and I thought I would go mad! So in order to preserve my sanity, I had my heart removed much like the way we removed our Souls. I hid my heart here...in the very charm you and I shared. Then I gave it to Number 32 and gave him an order. Should I ever become incapable of reclaiming my heart, I want you to have it and to know that I will be with you always."
Jazaf closed his eyes, put the tiny sword in the sheath around his neck and fused the two pieces together. He then went to Alatariel's side, brought her face close to his and shared their last kiss. Then he fell to his knees and wept.
***Sometime later
Jazaf finally reaches the Knights' Keep in time to watch the Gen. Lee Lift off.
"Well, crud."
Then he remembers his Commlink watch and quickly hails the Lee.
"Hey, wait! Don't leave me behind!"

TheRealMe twists the controls of the General Lee and drops the shuttle down next to Jazaf. He climbs aboard and TheRealMe takes off again before the now-hostile Octagonal Order can react.

"Welcome aboard!" TheRealMe says. "You know, Jazaf, I have been skimming this last thread. We could always take your Immortal friend up to the Sereni-Tree and see if Doctor SimonWho can fix her. Worst case, we can put her in cryo suspension."
