Chapter 63: #Timeline 251#

imma be posting one chapter for each fic each day until Christmas as my treat to you all, especially since in recent day I have had the angriest day of my life cause a certain someone stole £650 from me and tried lying, but karma hit them right in the face for their stupidity at trying to be smug by leaving evidence at where the rent money was. they did this as a type of "Pink Panther" card thing fron the movie so I would know it was them. kinda funny how it backfired on them cause they couldn't let go of their pride to use their brain. ahhhh justice. they didn't go to jail cause its not solid evidence, but I don't care as even though I lost that much, it is the happiest day of my life cause I finally got my long awaited revenge. without delving more into my personal circumstances cause it isn't important, let's get back to the story.

ps, I will delete this author note soon but leave the ps but so to future readers that don't see don't be concerned. it is irrelevant and only a temporary notice.

INT. PALPATINES QUARTERS - SUNSET

QUEEN AMIDALA is standing, staring out the window, with JAR JAR. The lights of the city shimmer before them.

EIRTAE and SABE stand near the door. JAR JAR turns to face the QUEEN and sees her sadness.

JAR JAR : Mesa wonder why da guds invent pain?

AMIDALA : To motivate us, I imagine...

JAR JAR : Yousa tinken yousa people ganna die?

AMIDALA : I don't know. But with the position as Chancellor I'll be able to end it and return my people's lives back to what it once was...but this will leave scars on their hearts.

JAR JAR : Gungans ganna get pasted too, eh?

AMIDALA : I hope not.

JAR JAR : Gungans do die'n without a fight.... wesa warriors. Wesa gotta grand army. Dat why you no liken us, metinks, but bird mans lika us!

AMIDALA : Bird mans?

JAR JAR : Yeah! He's a very nice man. He's a first livin' person to ever be on Naboo. He's a name is Caelum, oh yeah mesa forgot the other one, other one don't visit often, but in recent years he has been showin' himself more in Gungan village. He's a name is Telestarri mesa thinks, very nice.

PALPATINE and CAPTAIN PANAKA rush into the rom and bow before the QUEEN.

CAPT. PANAKA : Your Highness, the votes had been counted.

AMIDALA : And?

CAPT. PANAKA : You have been voted to succeed Valorum as Supreme Chancellor.

PALPATINE : A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. Your Majesty, now that you are Chancellor you can work to remove the Trade Fedreation influence over the bureaucrats. Without their aid the Federation will lose any support and backing to their blockade and our people will be freed.

AMIDALA : I fear by the time it takes for me to have control of the bureaucrats, Senator, there will be nothing left of our cities, our people, our way of life...

PALPATINE : I understand your concern, Your Majesty; unfortunately, the Federation has possession of our planet. The law is in their favor. Even with your new authority, if you were to take action without reason, it can all backfire on us and you would lose your new office just as quickly as you had gotten it.

AMIDALA ponders over his words and weighs all her options available to her.

She didn't know what to do in this situation and it made her feel hopeless.

SABE had always known what to do while acting as QUEEN AMIDALA except for a few occasions that overstepped her boundaries of what she could decide for herself.

SABE wished that PADME was here right now so she could ask her, the real QUEEN, what should be done.

Now that she was Chancellor, eyes would always be on her from now on and as such she could no longer be close to PADME's side or else people would begin to uncover the truth that she was a Body Double and that PADME is the true QUEEN AMIDALA.

SABE and PADME already knew that the Jedi was aware that PADME was the real QUEEN thanks to their powers as a Jedi.

ANAKIN had informed them of this and many things about the FORCE including the ability to see into the future at times.

SABE smiled remembering ANAKIN, she hadn't been able yo speak with him or enjoy the company of her friend since the Invasion of Naboo started.

She turned to face the others in the toom that awaited for her to speak.

AMIDALA : I will go to address The Senate and give my speech.

PALPATINE : That is most wise Your Majesty.

The Icarus, Adrian and Ava's Bedroom

Adrian pov

It had been some time since Ava had stopped her episode of pain and screaming at whatever was able to inflict great pain on her.

But there can only be a few options I could think of that might have caused this.

The first is it can't be targeting the Force, because Ava is literally the FORCE, if she/Force was affected then so too would every living being in the Galaxy and possibly the Universe.

So long as something had Midichlorians within their structure then it will be affected if she is too.

But nothing happened...not even a ripple in the Force or my connection to it...

Something strange must have affected her soul, mind, the Timeline or the World Between Worlds.

My only theory I was able to run down to was that the Timeline or the World Between Worlds was affected and she had felt it.

Considering my recent adventure to Nirn (Elder Scrolls) and Sanctuary (Diablo (3)), I assume that maybe some beings had crossed over through the Space-Time doorway and entered this Universe.

But I'm not too worried.

Actually...I am if Divayth Fyr crossed over from Nirn to Star Wars.

But he shouldn't hold any interest in me, at least I hope not.

His mastery in the Mysticism school of magic makes him among the strongest being that isn't a God to ever exist.

This old goat can literally slam The Presence, Lucifer Morningstar, the entire DC Universe, Unkindness Raven, Living Tribunal, Phoenix Force and practically the entire Marvel Universe by himself, he might even be able to defeat One Above All!

What even more absurd is he is just a ordinary Dunmer (Dark Elf) that used Magic to extend his lifespan for over 4000 years.

Luckily he would be powerless if he did cross over into this Universe much like how I was powerless in other Universes and can't use the Force unless Ava is there with me.

Magic of the Elder Scrolls Universe can only be used within it, so long as Magnus (Sun) is present there.

This was all apart of the Et'Ada Lorkhan's grand plot.

He had tricked the other Et'Ada into using their power to create Nirn and Mundus, the planet and the Mortal Realm.

Lorkhan then used his own power to secretly bind his own Heart to the very world of Nirn itself.

Thereby secretly making Nirn and Mundus into his own "Realm of Oblivion" where he holds absolute authority over it much like how each Daedric Prince has there own Realm of Oblivion.

I wonder what happened to the Evergloam, Nocturnal's Realm of Oblivion since I killed her with The Prisim.

I don't really care cause the Et'Ada can't do shit. Their power is linked to their Realms.

This is fact, when Jyggalag escaped his prison of becoming Sheogorath by having the Hero of Kvatch replace him.

He had lost his power as the Daedric Prince of Order and as the strongest Daedric Prince.

I'm 100% positive that the fallen Daedric Prince Jyggalag and possibly one of the Fyr sisters, 4 failed Clones/Daughters of Divayth Fyr (creepy perverted bastard) might cross over into this Universe.

But they would be without their power so their shouldn't be much to worry about.

In fact, I might be able to steal what small fragment of power that Jyggalag has.

The power of an Et'Ada, no matter how small is better than anything in any Universe.

Et'Ada are children of the Primordials that were created when the Godhead first dreamt his endless dream.

As for Sanctuary, Diablo might be pissed at me for escaping him when he tried to claim my soul via the contract when I died back on Xixis.

He would be much easier to defeat so long as Malthael didn't fuse with the Black Soulstone and the Nephilim actually killed him.

Diablo's and the other 6 Evils souls would be free, but as long as they aren't fused with the Archangel Malthael I will be good if they decided to teleport in front of me.

I still have the soul of Imperius, the Archangel of Valour.

I had placed it within my artificial Transposing Kiln Reactor of my ship.

(A/n Forget about this, didn't you? Admit it!)

Yep, it's the Transposing Kiln from Dark Souls 3 that Ludleth of Courland, one of the Five Lords of Cinder, can allow the player to transform BOSS Souls into BOSS Weapons/Items and unique Spells.

But the actual use of it in the description of the Lore is as such:

The Transposing Kiln can transpose twisted souls to craft special items with their concentrated essence.

Deemed forbidden by those unable to make proper use of it.

My Transposing Kiln Reactor acted similar to it, except I had modified it with all the knowledge I had possessed.

Imperius' soul had slowly been corrupted and reshaped to my desires within it, soon I will absorb it and I will attain 1/5th of Anu, the Creator's power, a universal being on par with Tethamet the First Prime Evil and Diablo, the Prime Evil Reborn.

In fact, the Transposing Kiln was how I created the Prisim Prototype and The Prisim, which I was planning on using on Abeloth and Ava at the time before I learnt who she was.

If I had been able to delay Ava in my battle with her on Xixis, I fear I may have actually used The Prisim on her at that time and killed her for permanently.

But I thank every universal force or law that had never come to pass.

Now only Abeloth remains.

I will destroy her physical body with the Blade of Mortis and then use the Prisim to destroy her very Existence.

...

I looked at the 3d projections ahead of me and Ava, who was in my arms, and saw that Sabé as she is disguised as the Queen had adressed The Senate that she would send the Jedi and a small Republic fleet to Naboo.

Should the Federation Blockade be non-existent as the Neimoidian cowards in the Senate claim, then Naboo will reimburse the Trade Federation and the Republic for the time and resources wasted.

I don't even need to talk about what will happen if it is true.

The Plot will continue and the Federation will get away as usual because the Galaxy is dependent on them and the Trade Federation.

They will easily get away scot free.

It's basically like if someone was to try and eliminate Football permanently from the world.

That is how much influence the Federation has. Its basically Earth Football, Microsoft, Apple, Netflix level of influence and necessity but on a galactic scale.

But my Cerberus corporation has become a rival of theirs.

It is at most only a third as successful as the Trade Fedreation despite all the shit I've done and created, the Federation had been around longer and is a competition against Cerberus.

But not for long since I had destroyed and absorbed the Techno Union for my own.

The Techno Union has many branch businesses and corporations under it, mainly the ones specialised in the construction of spaceships and other space crafts.

I had made Shmi's company as one of the lead branches of Cerberus Ship Construction sectors.

I'm actually scared at what she was able to accomplish with what I just gave her to start it off, I can't imagine what she'd be able to do if I gave her actual knowledge to her brain from the Animus.

#Timeline 251#

Battle of Xixis

Adrian Hawke (Metal Gear Sahelanthropus) vs Ava Kendra (Gwendolin Capillus)

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

Adrian: "What have I done?! Gwen! I'm so sorry! I didn't know! I DIDN'T KNOW!!!"

Adrian Hawke had fallen to his knees as he held the lifeless and soulless corpse of the reincarnation of his best friend and the woman she loved, Gwendolin Capillus.

Tears fell down his eyes as he had lost the strength in his body to do anything else let along care that the the surroundings were in chaos from the battle the two had.

As he mourned his lover, he heard the sound of someone walking to him until he was able to see their feet in his peripheral view.

He looked up only to be confronted with a individual taller than 2 metres in height with a pair of feathery bird like wings that were folded at his back.

Adrian: "Who *sob* are you?"

Ulthaan: "Ulthaan, but that doesn't matter. You have failed yet again."

Ulthaan widened his eye by a mere millimetre and Adrian Hawke before him was disintegrated in Body and Mind but not his Soul.

Ulthaan extended his hand and grasped the air grabbing an invisible object which revealed itself as a glowing orb, this was Adrian Hawke's soul.

As Ulthaan stared at the soul in his hands, moments later another figure similar to himself with wings of their own revealed themselves and stood behind Ulthaan.

Ulthaan: "How many times have you failed to do as I will."

Telestarri: "Why not do it yourself. Simply alter his memories and way of thinking so that he won't kill her in this moment. Or why not interfere yourself."

Ulthaan: "I could, but that would defeat the purpose. To attain the Shard of Reality, he must live his life free, devoid of any manipulations to his will, fate, and existence."

Telestarri: "But are you not doing that to him right now?"

Ulthaan: "No. Every time, he lives hi life from the moment he is conceived within his mother's womb. At that point I do not interfere."

Telestarri: "But you will. When and if he does get past this moment and somehow avoids killing Gwen, he will one day confront you. And you will face him, you will battle him. He will be your enemy. What is to stop you from using your power as you are now, to easily eradicate him before he can gain the power to be able to harm you."

Ulthaan: I have made a covenant with 3 of the Gods of Creation. The Great Protector, the Watcher of Creation and the Enforcer of Creation. They are willing to make a pact with a lowly ant such as myself. It is their nature, so long as one follows the Laws of Creation then they will not care what that person does since The First Universe that they reside within is not affected. Whatever happens in The First Universe will affect All of Creation, but only from the inside and from beings close to their level of power. Not even the Void God, one of the 10 Realm Gods is strong enough to cause any major impact in The First Universe. You see, if I destroyed the entire Omniverse and Outerverse, they would not care. Not even the Great Protector would care if I did such an act. His sole priority is to monitor and prevent his twin, the Great Destroyer from affecting The First Universe. Think of The First Universe as Universe Prime. Anything after that can't affect Universe Prime, but Universe Prime can affect all the others."

Telestarri: "Yes, but you still haven't answered my question my Lord...and friend..."

Ulthaan: "You're still hesitant to call me 'friend' even though I have told you I preferred it if you called me that instead of 'Lord' *sigh*. Continuing on, I have followed all the Laws of Creation and as such, I was allowed to make a pact with them. The Great Protector was the easiest to make the pact with due to his nature. The Watcher of Creation is a 3 eyed Raven with a Crystal made from a myriad of gems and stones all blended into one. The Watcher is genderless but many describs the Watcher as a male. He is watching us even as we speak and is yet again an easy one to make a pact with. He cares about very little other than observing and aiding fulfillment of either the purpose of the Great Protector or the Great Destroyer. The Enforcer of Creation was a difficult one to prove myself to. He takes the form of a wolf with antler-like reverse horns atop his head with fur writer than any snow in any Universe I've ever seen. His sole duty is to ensure that all beings of The First Universe and certain individuals like myself and the Realm Gods must uphold the Laws of Creation. Luckily, I proved myself to him. Each and one of them told me and made it so that no matter what, after Adrian Hawke's reincarnation, I wouldn't be able to affect him as you have said nor would I be able to interfere until the Shard of Reality is within my hands. Once that time comes, I will kill him as his usefulness will meet its end."

Telestarri: "You still have not revealed how to truly aquire the Reality Key. What are you hiding from me...old friend."

Ulthaan did not answer as he lowered his head ro gaze at the soul in his hand and then to the corpse of Ava on the ground.

He knelt down and plunged his hand into the chest of her corpse, tearing out her heart that had stopped beating.

Ulthaan brought her heart to his mouth and end devoured it for what is now well over 14,000 times he'd done this.

The entire Timeline of this Universe and the Multiverse connected to this Universe had been reset 250 times since the first original Timeline.

From what Lord Ulthaan said to me, he had told me he was born in the second Timeline.

Which creates the question...

Who reset the first Timeline of this Universe before Ulthaan was born and why did they do it?

Telestarri's question would remain unanswered as he once again followed his Master and Friend into what would be known as #Timeline 252#.

This would be the final reset of the Timeline, as this would be the chapter end this long and vengeful story.

And so it was, for in #Timeline 252#, Adrian Hawke had finally avoided killing Gwen and had been able to merge with Subject Zer0 for the first time.

Ulthaan was pleased with this and was easily awaiting the day he had craved for.

But none was happier than the "Voice of the Unknown Regions", for it had existed since the First Timeline before Ulthaan was born.

And it waited patiently...

For Ulthaan...

For Adrian Hawke...

To both come to the Unknown Regions one day as it had always wanted...
