: : : : : : : OOC: Aries...lemme clarify a bit here. I've got something planned for him...but I think if he wants to join your thread it's perfectly acceptable. Correct me if I'm wrong, Amber...something just sits really wrong about that last exchange :S
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : Meanwhile, he'll have fun :P
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : IC: Telaris nodded. "There are several taverns here. I have accommodated your foolish search for a great length more than I am comfortable with...either you find her now or we continue with the plan of liberating my people. Which will it be, Aries?"
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : She was only slightly upset, not angry. If this was a calm, relaxed Telaris with a twinge of discontent, Aries would hate to see a truly enraged Archmage...
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : OOC: Seriously...we gotta move this plotline onward.

: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : "I am requesting permission to find her quickly and maybe we can gather some allies along the way. I need extra help to concentrate all my thoughts and feelings towards Amari. Will you please help madam Telaris, Amari is also a trained combat medic, she can also be of help to us." Aries told her.
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : Lieutenant Aries Phommavanh: Security officer.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : occ: Jon, I would like to have my previous post above voided. I am going to create a new one.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : ic: Aries sighed. "Madam Telaris, is there a Tavern that uses candles. I can see a candle being lit, through her eyes. If you could point me in the right direction, I will go get her and meet up with you and Victor. You and the others my call my actions selfish and foolish, but she's not just my love, but a fellow Starfleet officer and I will abandon her, and this Tavern seems pretty popular." Aries told her.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Lieutenant Aries Phommavanh: Security Officer.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : occ: sorry catt buddy for the visual telepathic intrusion.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Telaris rolled her eyes, visibly sighing. "Aries...could it be that she is in the tavern we left...not more than fifteen minutes ago?"
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : She shook her head in dismay. "You go and fetch her...Victor and I will continue our quest to clear the city."
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : OOC: You wanna kick some zombie ass, Aries? I kinda designed the zombie invasion to give you something to do but James has been taking all the credit...we can't have that, can we? :P
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : ~Archmage Telaris
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Aries took out his tricorder, and scanned the area. "I better hurry." He turns to look at Victor and Telaris. "I will be back, I promise. There's a few dozen zombies closing in on that general location." Aries takes out another phaser pistol and sets it to level 10 narrow beam. He now weilds two type-2 phaser pistols set at level 10 narrow focus beam. "Madam archmage Telaris, go help your people. Victor help her anyway you can and remember don't let those undead scratch you, bite you, or spit at you, I'll be back in hurry." Aries told them as he runs back to the Tavern that they just left. Down the street Aries screamed and yelled. "DAMMIT!! WE LEFT TOO SOON!! LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER COURT MARTIAL FOR ME." Aries yelled as he ran down the road with his phaser pistols ready. "Amari!!" Aries shouted. "Stay where you are I am almost there!" Aries ran as fast as he could, dodging debris and only shooting at the zombies when needed, he was going for the neck or head shots, he had his phaser pistols at level 10 narrow focus beam and it was meant to cut.

: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : occ: Ok jon to move this forward, let's just have Lieutenant Aries Phommavanh burst through the Tavern doors and find Amari sitting down.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : The zombies went down right and left, falling to Aries' cutting beam, like a sword in the hands of an ancient warrior. If undead could fear, this would be their hour...but Seraph had already given them cause, and no fear had been shown.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Aries reached the tavern easily, due to the fact that several of the zombies seemed to ignore him. They had a bigger mission in mind....
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Telaris turned to Victor. "Are you still with us?" She hoped that the Magic had not had an adverse effect on his mind...some young mages had a similar shock when first exposed to the energies.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : ~Archmage Telaris/The Zombie Horde
: : : : :
: : : : : Victor nodded and replied, "Oh yes Archmage, I am here, let us move forw.." Victor was cut off suddenly when a rush of zombies came from seeming nowhere to attack their now exposed right flank. Victor could only make a knee-jerk type of reaction as two zombies rushed Telaris. Since the zomebies had moved so quick he could only take a step, balance quickly on his left foot, rotate and do a roundhouse kick to the heads of the two attackers.. he knew if he could knock them back or down he would have a clear shot to hit them with phaser fire. He would not under any circumstance fire close to Telaris as he did not wish to injure her in any way.. she was far to lovely and the leader of these people to boot. He asked in shouted tone, "Telaris! How do I access this magic? How do I eminate it??"

: : : : : -- Ensign Victor Fernandez (Sci)
: : : :
: : : : Telaris spoke clearly in her own language, a few loud words. Then she pointed her hand at Victor...he felt a light entering his chest and beginning to glow. "Use the language that means the most to you...simply speak and it shall be as the Mage commands."
: : : :
: : : : It was life or death...she hated giving the outsiders such power, but if anyone deserved it it was Victor, her knight. Besides, she had a sneaking feeling that some of their number had already learned the secrets...
: : : :
: : : : ~Archmage Telaris
: : :
: : : Victor suddenly understood. Pandora's Box was open now and there was no way for that which was within to be put back in! Victor's mind was suddenly filled with several powerful images, almost as if he were in a dream mode. He could almost see the Mayan and Toltec warriors of the distant past and of his ancestry come to life before his eyes. He could feel the power of those great warriors with him now. He could see them! They danced and shouted as visions. They wore their full warrior's regalia: Feathers of eagles and vultures, tatooes of symbolic meanings of the sun, the moon and the god Quetzalcoatl. He felt the full power of their ritual magic! He suddenly called apon the very power of that most important god of the Mexican culture and said in a most dramatic tone: "'Se da a los hombres, a veces, para atacar las derechas de otras, de agarrar sus mercancías, de amenazar las vidas de los que defiendan su nación, para hacer las virtudes más altas para parecerse crímenes, y para dar a sus propios vicios el lustre de la virtud verdadera. Pero hay una cosa que no se puede influenciar por la falsificación o la traición, a saber el enorme veredicto de la historia. Es ella que nos juzgará.
: : : Tan señor Set, usted ha fijado sobre nosotros a estos minions del infierno. ¡Ahora reloj como fallecen antes del dios del Aztecs, del Mayans, del Toltecs y del todo el México central!'" (*It is given to men, sometimes, to attack the rights of others, to seize their goods, to threaten the lives of those who defend their nation, to make the highest virtues seem crimes, and to give their own vices the luster of true virtue. But there is one thing that cannot be influenced either by falsification or betrayal, namely the tremendous verdict of history. It is she who will judge us.
: : : So Lord Set, you have set upon us these minions of hell. Now watch as they perish before the God of the Aztecs, Mayans, Toltecs and all of central Mexico!)
: : :
: : : He then waved his hands and thrust them high into the air and suddenly a bright light formed overhead; it was like the sun yet it danced and moved and coursed like the very wind. It swirled and zig-zagged across the sky and then down to the ground. It then swirled and formed quickly into a giant painted Eagle, taller than a man and fully empowered with colors of blue and orange and violet, red and black and gold all shimmering over its entire body. Its eyes were aflame and red as rubies. It gazed upon the minions of the undead approaching and it spoke only one two words to them: "'¡Dado ahora!'" (*Die now!) it swept forwards its mighty wings and attacked the zombie horde approaching with a fierceness not seen in over three thousand years of myth and legend.

: OOC: Dude...stuff like that is what I live for! Amber's got something planned, so I better make this quick :P
:
: IC: The eagle attacked the zombie horde, and they fell before it right and left. Seraph had the intent and will, but Victor had the raw, untrained potential...it had been building inside him for some time, now. And it was at long last unleashed, in a form imbued with meaning since the ancient Aztecs and Mayans ruled...in short, Victor Fernandez had tapped a destructive power, truly opened Pandora's Box. And the eagle inside was tearing apart the zombies with a force and energy that Seraph could not conceive of...was the seed of Lord Set's doom not one, but twofold?
:
: Was Victor Fernandez the Power, and Seraph the Will, of the outworlders' Magic?

: Victor's combadge was audible, even over the screams of the eagle...somewhere in the distance, Victor thought he heard a guitar solo like the 80s metal bands used to play. But perhaps it was his imagination...or perhaps he had tapped the astral in some way.

: ~Burning Angel

Victor tapped his commbadge and spoke words he never thought he would ever say: "Lieutenant Kasumi, if you can see this video feed I have been sending you through my tricorder, you must realize not that we cannot leave this planet as of yet. Lord Set must be destroyed! The magic has opened within me and it is.. it is a power of inconceivable limit.. I.. I can wield it.. amazingly. I can wield it like Merlin at Camelot or as my very ancestral priests were said to wield the power of Quetzacoatl.. we have the chance to save this world Kasumi.. leaving now.. leaving now would mean death for all..." Victor's voice trembled. Caught up in the moment, it was all he could do. He had the power now and he could use it for good and righteousness and purpose and idealism.. the magic now was far to strong for him to let it go.

A huge zombie contingency approached and Victor's attention turned to them. "I call upon the the leaders and the men who struggled so hard for the independence of my ancestors. I call forth General Benito Juarez, General Emilio Zapata, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Pancho Villa and the best of the Mexican Revolutionary Forces to my side!" And so it was. The spirit and power of the finest leaders of Mexico and her revolutionary period appeared just as they would have looked in the 1800's period. Behind them stood one thousand of the best troops that the Revolution could field. Some of these soldiers had fought in the campaigns in Texas: The Alamo, Matamoros, El Paso. Some had fought in the actual revolution against the French or Spanish Imperials. They now looked at Victor for leadership and direction. "What now jefe?" Asked the determined face of General Zapata. His stern look, those dark piercing eyes filled with a rebels' furor could shake any enemy, just as he had done in the real days of past. Victor commanded, "Zapata take the center, Santa Anna, take the right flank and Pancho Villa, the left. Give them continuous volley fire. Do not let up!" He then turned quickly to the great leader of old Mexico, "General, or should I say 'Presidente' Juarez. Inspire the troops as you can, direct the tide of battle, I fully trust your wisdom and your presence on this field. You turned the tide in the Revolution, now do it again." The great man nodded and drew his saber saying to all in a loud voice: "'¡Traiga la justicia a estos enemigos de México! ¡Ataqúelos con el fierceness del Aztecs antiguo! ¡Tráigalos a sus rodillas! ¡La revolución continúa!!! Viva la Raza!!!'" (*Bring justice to these enemies of Mexico! Attack them with the fierceness of the ancient Aztecs! Bring them to their knees! The Revolution continues!!! Long live the Race!!!) And so the armies of Mexico, of the Revolution, of the War against the Americans, of the struggle for Indepence yelled and hooped and hollered and then turned to the minions of the dead, lowered their musket, rifles and pistols and marched forward inexorably into the battle...

-- Ensign Victor Fernandez (Sci/Mage)/Presidente Benito Juarez, Generals Zapata and Santa Anna and rebel leader Pancho Villia along with 1000 of Mexico's finest troops from the period of 1800-1920

OOC: and yes, if any of you are wondering, I am proud to be Mexican and I want to portray these individuals that the textbooks rarely talk about.. I hope you all enjoy the vision. :-)
